The Tony Robinson ones are abridged. Stephen Briggs reads some of the books unabridged, but he doesn't read them all. Some are read by Nigel Planer and I believe by Celia Imrie. I'm not totally sure that all the books are available on CD yet, some are (I think) on tape.
You might try your local library as I've found a few of them in mine.

Well, I've got three read by him. He reads it very funny and entertaining, but a lot of the characters sound very much alike.
He reads better in later audiobooks, so I'd buy one of the newer ones, if you want an abridged version.
The unabridged versions (at least the newer ones) are read by Stephen briggs and if I'm honest, I like him the best. He's a brilliant reader.
So, if you want an unabridged version, I'd order it directly from the publisher (Isis Audiobooks I think) because others just take an eternety.
I waited for three months for that site to tell me, they couldn't send me Night Watch :x . Then I went to the internet site of the publisher, and three weeks later, it was here. SO GO TO THE PUBLISHER OR OTHERWISE YOU WILL WAIT FOR NOTHING!
I hope this was a help.

I have nearly all of them and they are fantastic, I avoid Tony Robinson as he reads the abridged version's and they cut out far to many bits for my liking. It was quite some time before I knew about Buggy Squires as they cut him completely from the abridged version. Hope this helps.

I got my MP3 player from British Telecom free for renewing my contract. They sent me one and I had it for about a week and it stopped working, so I phoned up and complained and they sent me another one. That also stopped working. I complained again and they sent me a third one.
I then discovered that if I poked a paperclip into the reset the first two started to work again just fine. So I've now got three.

Mmmm
just wondering if they would work in the UK voltage wise if pluged in to any power source.
Just don't try plugging them in at the mains. 
USB charge ok but no way direct into a wall socket, not sure if the Yanks use three pin plugs like us but i doubt if the voltages and frequancy are compatible..

But I dont understand why they are so far behind the USA site Audible.com with their releases.
Unseen Acadenicals is out only in the awful abridged format in UK but the unabridged version is already out in the states.
I dont think audible.co.uk has Nation in the unabridged format yet.
