My usual debunk: this list has nothing to do with the BBC, they certainly didn't originate it; this list circulates pretty often. The Beeb at least has editors who would notice that the list contains redundancies such as the complete works of Shakespeare, and Hamlet.

Why is TLtWatW counted separately from The Chronicles of Narnia, and only three slots down? This is not a reputably compiled list.
