The Foundation Trilogy Dramatized

The story begins on Trantor, the capital of the Galactic Empire, where a meeting between Seldon and Dornick takes place, leading to their trial and exile to Terminus. Fifty years later, the first Seldon Crisis unfolds on Terminus, as the recently independent Four Kingdoms of the Periphery exert their influence, which is handled by the first Mayor, Salvor Hardin. Twenty years after that, Mayor Hardin confronts the domination of the nearby and most powerful Kingdom, Anacreon.

One hundred and fifty years after the establishment of the Foundation, the now powerful trading nation faces its greatest threat, guided by the master trader Hober Mallow. Two hundred years after its creation, the Foundation battles Bel Riose, the last powerful General of the dying Galactic Empire. A further hundred years have passed, and the Foundation is challenged by an unexpected threat named The Mule.

During the war against The Mule, with the Foundation facing difficulties, key figures, under the leadership of the Foundation's greatest scientist, Ebling Mis, flee Terminus in search of the Second Foundation, to warn it of the danger from The Mule. The Mule then attempts to find and overthrow the Second Foundation. Sixty years later, a teenage girl is at the center of the Foundation's renewed search for the Second Foundation.

It's worth noting that the conflict between The Foundation and Anacreon takes place 70 years into the Foundation era, rather than 80 years as in the novels. Additionally, a small segment titled "Traders" has been removed from the narrative, and a large, comedic section on farming on Rossem has been added to "The Mule Finds".

Please note that this is a historical broadcast recording, produced by the BBC in 1973, and the audio quality reflects the technology of that era.
