| Doctor
Who The TARDIS brings the Doctor and his companions to Robespierre's Paris, where they discover the French Revolution to be in full swing. Separated from each other, the group find themselves caught up in history as they struggle to stay alive and find their individual way back to the TARDIS. Linking narration is provided by Carole Ann Ford, who played Susan in the original series. In a short bonus interview she recalls the time she spent working on the programme.

| Ladies
of Letters Go Global Patricia Routledge is Vera Smalls and Prunella Scales is her friend (or maybe enemy), Irene Spencer. The two pass their time in regular correspondance and not an event goes by that is left unrecorded by the ladies of letters. Always polite but not always nice, the two ladies' letters are often acerbic, one might even say bitchy yet their subtle put downs create wonderful letters full of humour and insight into the ups and downs of family life.

| Steptoe
& Son Created and written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson (of Hancock's Half Hour) this is the series which combined comedy with pathos in almost every episode. As the denizens of Oil Drum Lane bickered about women, work and general standards and hygeine, so Harold's schemes for self-betterment were continually foiled by the intervention of his lazy, good-for-nothing old dad. As with other volumes in the Very Best Episodes range, the advocate of these four favourite episodes has also provided some specially written sleeve notes.
