Dwarves, elves, goblins, trolls, dragons and wizards - these are
the ingredients of J.R.R. Tolkien's wonderful fantasy, the prelude
to The Lord of The Rings, now the subject of a major feature film
series. The hero of the tale is Bilbo Baggins, a home-loving
unambitious hobbit who is suddenly thrust into what turns out to be
the biggest adventure of his life. Guided by Gandalf the wizard,
Bilbo and a company of dwarves set out to destroy Smaug the
Magnificent, a ferocious dragon who guards a treasure hoard. Their
journey contains many dangers, and in facing them the reluctant
Bilbo's great resourcefulness and courage surprises everyone - not
least himself! Since it was first broadcast in 1968, this BBC Radio
4 dramatisation has become a classic in its own right, perfectly
evoking Tolkien's magical other world and its enchanting, fantastic
inhabitants. 5 CDs. 4 hrs 15 mins.
The entire second season of the 1970s BBC sci-fi series.
'Redemption' sees Orac's prediction of the Liberator's destruction
looking likely to be fulfilled when the ship's original owners
arrive and take the rebels prisoner. In 'Shadow', Blake becomes
involved with an interplanetary crime syndicate. 'Weapon' sees
Blake and crew set out to steal a deadly 'delayed-effect' gun,
which Servalan also wishes to possess. In 'Horizon', the Liberator
heads for the edge of the Galaxy, only to be taken prisoner on the
planet Horizon. 'Pressure Point' sees Blake attempting to destroy
the Federation's control centre, only to walk into a trap set by
Travis. In 'Trial', Travis is made a scapegoat by Servalan for
their failure to capture Blake. 'Killer' sees Blake and his crew
stumbling upon a derelict spaceship whilst on a mission to crack
the Federation's new transmission code. The craft houses a deadly
plague which could threaten the existence of the entire universe.
In 'Hostage', Travis tries to trap Blake by kidnapping his cousin,
Inga. 'Countdown' sees Blake and crew coming to the aid of the
planet Albian, whose population are dying from radiation poisoning.
In 'Voice from the Past', a telepathic signal forces Blake to
reroute the Liberator to an asteroid where Travis lies in wait.
Whilst 'Gambit' sees Blake, Cally and Jenna visit a gambling world
to find the man who knows the location of the Federation's Star
One. Avon and Villa, meanwhile, choose to take Orac on an illicit
gambling spree. In 'The Keeper', Blake tries to obtain the key to
Star One from a tribal chief on the planet Goth. However, Travis
has beaten him to it. Finally, 'Star One' sees Blake at last launch
his attack on the Federation's headquarters, unaware that an alien
fleet is poised to invade.
