Lord Of The Rings BBC Radio Adaptation 1981 

In 1981, the British radio station BBC began broadcasting radio drama based on the works of Tolkien in 26 half-hour releases.
The broadcast is based on The Lord of the Rings - the story of the epic struggle against the dark lord Sauron, the ruler of Mordor, the villain who created the ring of omnipotence and the union of heroes who joined forces to protect the world from falling under the shadow of evil.

Each of the 26 episodes was broadcast twice a week: an evening 30-minute broadcast and a “comprehensive” recurrence on Sundays in the morning
(standard practice for BBC broadcasts even today).

The 26 private version was subsequently edited into 13 episodes of one hour each. The latest version was released on CD in 2002.

In 1981 the UK radio station BBC Radio 4 broadcast a dramatization of JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in 26 half-hour stereo installments. Like the novel on which it is based,

the primary villain of the work, who created a Ruling Ring to control the nineteen Rings of Power, and an alliance of heroes who join forces to save the world from falling under his shadow.

Each of the original 26 episodes received two broadcasts per week, individual evening broadcasts of the 30 minute episodes with an hour long "omnibus" repeat on Sunday mornings -
standard practice for many BBC radio serials even today.

The 26-part series was subsequently edited into 13 hour-long episodes.
The re-edited version was released in 2002 on CD. n 2002 on CD.
