I've not bought the new radio series, as I was expecting a box-set of
all 5 series to be released some time after the last series ended. Lo
and behold, here it is:
http://www.bbcshop.com/invt/0563504196&bklist=3Dicat,3,, 101
=A352 for all 5 series, plus an extra disc - not the same as the 2 extra
ones in the Collector's Edition, of course.
As Amazon still have this listed at the full RRP of =A380, I may just
have to buy from the BBC shop for the first time.

So to get all the stuff on CD I have to buy both that and the Collector's
Edition? That's bloody ridiculous. Combined with the fact I have a signed
copy of the Tertiary and the new copies of the new radio serieses, I am now
bloody annoyed.
However, I've already got 'Six Characters in Search Of An Answer' and it's
not much cop, so I'll just get looking for the Kaleidoscope thing and all
will be once again right with the world.
And yes, I am a hypocrite sometimes, but it'd be £52 more, and I don't want
to spend that much money.

You of all people ought to know that no two versions are ever going to be
the same :)

I have sent the BBC an e-mail, expressing my confidence (ha) that they will
of course make the extra disc available seperately, as it's only fair.

No, in about 6 months once everyone's bought all they're going to buy of
each of these, they'll come out with an "Ultimate Edition" with the lot.

This is an announcement to anyone who gets the big box set:
I'll swap the Collector's Edition extra stuff for the Box Set stuff. :-)

Ah, but I'm not bothered about that, because I never watch all the
documentaries on those discs anyway. :-)
