There is a thread with an episode by episode discussion somewhere including welcome contributions from Mr Sibley himself. We never quite finished alas... I find it interesting that I love in that adaptation the bits I tend to skim in the book. The handling of Sam, Frodo and Gollum is wonderful IMO Bill Nighy, perhaps suprisingly in the light of the rather louche roles he tends to get now is great as Sam, Woodthorpe is vastly superior to Serkis IMO .. and Radio Faramir..... is all he should be.
