It contains none of the episodes listed for Series 10. The six Series 10 episodes were released along with the seven of Series 11 and two Specials in a boxset labelled Series 11 & 12. The ten Series 12 episodes were released along with the six Series 13 episodes and two Specials in another boxset labelled Series 13 & 14. The nine series 14 episodes were released along with the nine series 15 episodes and two specials in another boxset labelled series 15 & 16 released on 26 October 2009.

The three episodes of series one are edited together on the DVD in what appears to be a straight transfer from the video release in the 1990s. Episode 3 (Pâté & Chips) ends with credits for all three episodes plus the original BBC Video ident.

Famous quotes containing the word series:

    “Mortality: not acquittal but a series of postponements is what we hope for.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “There is in every either-or a certain naivete which may well befit the evaluator, but ill- becomes the thinker, for whom opposites dissolve in series of transitions.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
    —Sonia Taitz (20th century)
