episodes in 1979. It told the gripping story of Bilbo Baggins and

the fearsome dragon Smaug. As he leaves his cosy hobbit-hole and
travels into the wild, Bilbo's adventures begin. On his journey, he
will encounter trolls, goblins, elves and giant spiders - as well
as a mysterious and magical ring and a strange, sinister creature
named Gollum... Read by Bernard Cribbins, Jan Francis, Maurice
Denham and David Wood, this rare audio soundtrack is sure to offer
a treat for all fans of J. R. R. Tolkien. 2 CDs. 2 hrs 28 mins.

The Oldie The long-awaited autobiography of national treasure
Bernard Cribbins. Bernard Cribbins's life has been an eventful one.
In 1943, he left school aged fourteen and joined Oldham Repertory
Company where he earned fifteen bob for a seventy-hour week. After
being called up for National Service in 1946 he became a
paratrooper and spent several months in Palestine being shot at. On
returning home, and to the theatre, Bernard was eventually
approached by George Martin, then an A&R man for Parlophone
Records, who suggested he made a record. Just months away from
producing The Beatles, Martin asked Bernard to come to Abbey Road
Studios in north London and, after teaching him how to sing into a
microphone, they eventually recorded two hit singles - 'The Hole in
the Ground' and 'Right Said Fred'. These, together with appearances
in now classic films such as Two Way Stretch and The Wrong Arm of
the Law (not to mention a certain television programme called
Jackanory), catapulted Bernard to stardom and, by the time he
started filming The Railway Children in 1970, he was already a
national treasure. Since then, Bernard's CV has been an A-Z of the
best entertainment that Britain has to offer, and, thanks to
programmes such as the aforementioned Jackanory, The Wombles, and,
more recently, Old Jack's Boat, he has become the voice of many
millions of childhoods. Seventy-five years in the making and packed
with entertaining anecdotes, Bernard Who? tells the wonderful story
of one of the longest and most celebrated careers in show business.
