A bit of an update on this today.
Graeme was at Slapstick today, talking about the Goodies books.
During the Q&A someone asked about this.
And according to Mr GG...
Network DVD still want to put together another boxset. And Graeme thinks it might be sometime this year. But is awaiting confirmation on this.

From The recent Network DVD newsletter!
They're Back! - BBC Announcement
The early days of our fledging label saw us rescuing Robinson Crusoe, crossing borders into Communist-state fairyland and presenting some old public information films to a baffled 21st century audience. It all looked just a bit weird on paper.
These unusual and now almost library-standard releases led us, inevitably, to ask for more of the same but we instead got ’The Goodies’, ‘Ripping Yarns’ and ’Till Death Us Do Part’ for our troubles.
So now we are almost back where we started, having recently concluded an agreement with the BBC to revisit some of our older releases as well as bring a lot of new material to add to our range. Towards the end of the year and beyond we’ll be releasing complete* series box sets of shows that we’d distributed many years ago including 'The Goodies', 'Till Death Us Do Part' and ‘Sykes’ amongst rarer fare like ‘All Passion Spent’ and ‘Johnny Jarvis’, some Screen Two presentations such as ’The Vision’, bafflingly unreleased classics like ’The Life And Times Of David Lloyd George’ and much more.
We’ll be sharing news on these releases with you as we work through them but you’ll need to be patient. There are substantial technical and clearance issues to attend to but it is underway as we write. The first titles will appear before the end of the year, hopefully sooner.
