I saw this little news item from Sideshow Collectibles.

Sideshow Collectibles wrote:
Sideshow Collectibles proudly presents BBC Radio's 'The Lord of the Rings' Complete Trilogy audiobook set by J.R.R. Tolkien. Undertaking the adaptation of Tolkien's best-known work was an enormous task, but with its first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on March 8, 1981, this magical dramatization became an instant global classic. This 12-CD set features Ian Holm as Frodo, Sir Michael Hordern as Gandalf, and Robert Stephens as Aragorn in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantastic tale of Middle-earth. 'The Lord of the Rings' Complete Trilogy audiobook set, including 'The Fellowship of the Ring,' ' The Two Towers' and 'The Return of the King,' is the definitive Lord of the Rings Collection, complete with bonus music and map of Middle-earth thoughtfully packaged in a handsome box set.

For those that have heard these broadcasts. How abridged are they compared to the full audiobooks?
