In 1981 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a dramatisation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in 26 half-hour stereo installments. It followed a previous 13-part BBC Radio version in 1956 (of which no recordings are known to have survived). Like the novel on which it is based, The Lord of the Rings is the story of an epic struggle against the Dark Lord Sauron of Mordor, 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.

  • In 1981 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a dramatisation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in 26 half-hour stereo installments.

Due to the loss of the 1956 series and the comparably lower quality of the 1979 series, the 1981 radio adaptation is considered to be the most popular of the three radio plays.
