So I finally stumbled, quite randomly, on the source of this.
It was an April Fools joke by Tolkien.Books (MyTolkienBooks.com) on Instagram in 2016.
It was then re-posted by Marcel (

I assume the publishers did think about a BBC tie-in edition, but I imagine it would have been difficult to get the permissions at the time.
