Caveat Emptor
There are only four episodes and two of those were previously released on the Just a Minute: Complete Series 63 released earlier in the year, so for your money you're just getting two new episodes. This is pretty unfair of the BBC - surely they could have found more original episodes from 2012.
The first episode is good, but not worth the price of a full audiobook.
