BBC's LotR audio version from 80s

I don't know if this belongs to this movie chapter but several of the LotR actors have mentioned that instead of reading the book they have listened the BBC's 13 episode dramatized audio version of the book. Good for them as I think the BBC version from 1981 (?) is a true masterpiece, I consider it no 2 just after the book itself. The BBC version follows truly with the book and actually Ian Holm (film's Bilbo) play Frodo and what magnificient and strong voices Gandalf and Aragorn have.

Have You other (and mainly much younger) fans heard it and how do you rate it?
