Also released under the banner — although technically incorrectly as they were never intended for radio — were edited TV soundtracks taken initially from episodes that had been deleted by the BBC but for which audio tracks survived (i.e. ''[[The Macra Terror]]'' and ''[[The Evil of the Daleks]]''). The BBC Radio Collection also reissued the audio adaptation of ''[[Genesis of the Daleks]]''. Beginning in 2004 the "BBC Radio Collection" branding was dropped, and releases for more recent stories have occurred, even those available on DVD, the most recent to date being an audio version of the 1984 story ''[[Warriors of the Deep]]''. | ||
