Tolkien and the BBC

The list given below is sourced from the BBC publication The Radio Times and the text is largely reproduced ‘as was’ when originally printed. It will in time become a complete picture of the BBC’s Tolkien-related broadcasts, both radio and television. There are 3 general categories:

1) Adaptations of translations and original works by Tolkien, in blue.
2) Interviews with or biographical programmes about Tolkien, in orange.
3) Programmes that refer to Tolkien or his works, in green.

This later category includes programmes like Desert Island Discs and Mastermind where guests on the show mention his works etc.

It will take some time to be fully up to date as there are over 500 hundreds of entries so this will be gradually extended on an incremental basis. Currently it’s complete up to 1979.
