The best narration of the hobbit in my opinion, I had it on cassette tape when I was young along with the wish list and please keep off the dinosaur! Always helped me sleep and this one still does 😊
This old BBC version is great. Gandalf is a little more “sly” than how I read him in my head when reading the book. And several other characters are a bit off from how I’ve always known them from multiple readings of the book. But very entertaining and well produced.

This dramatisation is better than the straight readings of the book. The music is especially atmospheric. The Lord of the Rings dramatisation is better by far but was produced almost 20 years later

I disagree. It feels far too rushed and interrupting, compared to reading the book directly.

I don't much care for Gandalf's voice. It's not deep enough. I'm afraid I only made it to the singing at the first meeting. I found it difficult to get into.

@@kaisailor1 Not for everyone. The nice thing about this version is that it keeps the "generic" narrow minded and judgmental listener away, leaving the magic for the rest of us, and magic it is.

I also feel this would have been better dramatised with the same cast who played out Lord OfThe Rings as well. They pronounced all the names correctly, Gandalf for example, not, Garndalve or Thorin, not, Torreen.

What about the knocking on the doors? especially Rivendell? Sounded like it was singing "one" when it opened. Not sure if it was actually "one" though, since it was sung in unison when the doors opened. It’s a bit like one of those sbusinesses where the bell or the bleep sounds as the door opens.

Gollum sounded like he was being played by a nonagenarian with no knowledge of the books what so ever, armed with a pair of rubber gloves and a pair of fishing waders filled with a mixture of ooze jelly and soap bubbles. It was really quite gross.

Delightful. I didn't recall this version. I have The Hobbit on an old cassette tape series. 6 cassettes. I never listened to them. I wonder if this is the same. If it is, a great lose has occurred. I've had them at least 20 years, bought them at thrift, and haven't opened it it until a few years back. I couldn't find a cassette deck and put them back on the shelf. I'll go to the pawn shop soon and get one. I'm very excited about seeing if this is the same recording.

Bit too many misophonia triggering squelching, crunching, eating, dying sound effects for my liking, especially Bilbo's terrible table manners eating toast and that thing which sounded like weetabix or something else very soft and mushy in Beorn's house and a lot of the pronunciations of names ticked me off, especially when I read and listened to the audio version a few years later, plus reading and listening to the Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion. Never the less, it was a very good unabridged recording for its time, I believe, it was recorded in 1968.
