	Radio drama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radio drama (audio drama), which had its greatest popularity in the United States and in most other countries before the spread of television, depends on dialogue, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the story in her or his "mind's eye".
		Radio dramas can be regularly heard on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Radio 1), on RTÉ in Ireland, and the BBC's Radio 4, Radio 3, and BBC 7.
		Radio 4 in particular is noted for its radio drama, with strands such as The Afternoon Play broadcasting hundreds of one-off plays per year, in addition to serials and soap operas such as The Archers.

		This adaptation was only six hours long and wasn't quite as good as the original NPR SW; this time, there weren't any unfilmed scenes or unknown background material to be tossed in.

		Whereas the radio versions of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back took the time to show us more about the characters, Return of the Jedi is, for the most part, just what we saw on the movie screen with a handful of extra scenes thrown into the mix.
		In the wake of the success of radio adaptations of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back in the early 1980s, there was no doubt that Return of the Jedi would be aired on National Public Radio.
