BBC Radio scores again!
I absolutely loved this collection. I was surprised to find out how these stories were broadcasted live... everything was live from the special effects to the actors. So if an actor flubbed their lines or rustled their page, you heard it on the radio. The stories themselves are a gem.
One thing I wished Audible did was fully indexed these collections. So that each serial and episode will be listed so you can easily navigate to the individual episodes. For any one who is interested, I have written them down. I hope it helps someone.:

Yes, some of these stories are re-makes. I am not sure why they re-made some of the episodes that originally survived (and I didn't notice the story being slightly different from the original), but personally, I don't mind that. I still enjoyed the story again.
If you love radio dramas, then I wholeheartedly recommend this collection. I've already recommended it to a few friends.
