The BBC's collection

The BBC's Radio Collection currently has 34 releases with four episodes each. These are the ones I'm most familiar with, as we played the cassette versions countless times during my childhood.

Many of the earlier collections are abridged or edited versions of shows, however, and it's not until you get to the Compendiums that you find restored full versions.

Each collection is named after a catchphrase, quote, or episode.
