Thanks. You are right about the actors, as your post prompted me to look for an entry in Wikipedia, and there is quite a comprehensive one:

I mistakenly remembered Jack May as Aragorn, but Wikipedia reminds me he was Théoden.
I had also forgotten that Bill Nighy was among the cast (playing Sam Gangee), as well as some other fairly well-known names.
