How about a POD where the BBC adapts Lord of the Rings as a TV series instead of a radio drama? Say a book per season?
Yes, what if a BBC 1965-66 TV series on LOTR?

Would "Blue Peter" show how to make a One Ring?
"And this is One we made earlier."
I doubt Christopher Lee would be Saruman. If anything he'd be Gandalf, he's rather youthful in the 60's but he adored Lord of the Rings. He reads the trilogy every year and he would've been Gandalf in the modern films if it wasn't for the amount of action Gandalf was involved with which would've been hampered by his age.William Hartnell as Gandalf.
Cliff Richard as Aragorn.
Christopher Lee as Sauruman.
Brian Blessed as Gimli.
Roger Moore as Boromir.
Iain Lavander as Legolas.
Clive Dunn as Bilbo.
I doubt they'd have Hartnell playing Saruman. He'd have only just finished playing the Doctor and so the association with Doctor Who would be too great for the LoTR TV series to be taken very seriously.Fair point, I'll just have William Hartnell play Saruman though he dosn't have the same air of mennace about him. Any ideas for the Hobbits and Golum?
Richard O'Sullivan might make a good Frodo.

How are we breaking up the series? Personally, I think it'd be more interesting to do three "seasons" worth of shows, to allow the show to delve even further into the books...
I'd say four seasons, so you can adapt The Hobbit as well.
I cant make any suggestions about the Hobbit, I've never read it.

More a good choise for Bilbo could be this guy...

What about Dudley Moore for Bilbo?
