According to Amazon.co.uk, after a 10 year delay a new collection of "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" episodes is being released by BBC Audiobooks.

"I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again Volume 5" is scheduled for a 5 Feb 2007 release in the UK.  There's no information yet about which episodes it will contain. Here's the current synopsis from Amazon: "This is, due to popular demand, and after a long break, a fifth volume of episodes from the irreverent radio comedy series which ran between 1964 and 1973. Starring John Cleese, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden, David Hatch, Jo Kendall and Bill Oddie, "ISIRTA" is a mix of quickfire sketches, bad puns, humorous songs, and TV and cinema parodies. It quickly developed a cult following, and was the forerunner of "The Goodies and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue".

In addition, the previously released volumes 1-4 are slated to be released as a multi-CD set on the same day.  While Amazon currently lists the title as "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again: v. 1-4" the description claims volume 5 will be included in this set as well.  We'll have to watch for updated information as the release date gets closer.
