Oh no. I'd blocked out the people from Gondor having Liverpudlian accents. It's truly horrific.

Yeah, surprisingly I agree.
I'm still disappointed the Tony Robinson recordings were abridged.

Sandman II & III are out.
They're adapted by Dirk Maggs and he has some other gems in his back catalogue.
I went on a similar quest recently.
Also I grew up with the LotR BBC radio adaptation and it's incredible.

Andy Serkis singing is like a kick in the balls everytime, it's so bad. He's really good at the action sequences though.

I treat them as something different, I file them away with radio dramas like Sandman and the BBC LotR, I follow Dirk Maggs for ones that are done well, and I was looking forward to Sam.Mendes.Oliver Twist until I realised it's only 2hrs long.

Faramir sounds like Craig Charles.
I love Craig Charles. But he's not my first pick for Faramir.
