While we’re waiting for the slow-as-treacle big-screen Tolkien biopics to arrive (two are said to be due), Radio 4 is to repeat the one-hour “Tolkien in Love” Afternoon Play drama this Sunday, 9th December 2018. Appears to have been first broadcast 2017. It follows a 30-minute mid-morning documentary of the same title, broadcast by Radio 4 in 2012.

The BBC has no Listen Again for this drama, though its Web page promises it will be “available shortly after broadcast”. The earlier Tolkien in Love documentary has long-since been made “unavailable” from the BBC. Surprisingly, neither broadcast appears to have been pirated or sent to Archive.org.

Update: now on Archive.org.
