Individual episodes can be purchased for £2.49 or the entire season can be bought for £39.99.
There are a total of 178 episodes across all the seasons, with most of the runs comprising of 26 instalments apart from the second cycle.

WILL PATRICK STEWART RETURN AS CAPTAIN PICARD IN STAR TREK DISCOVERY?[5]
After The Original Series, there was an animated series in the 1970s.
The Next Generation was set nearly 100 years after the events of The Originals series.
Along with the TV show, there were four big screen outings featuring the crew of The Next Generation: Generations (1994), First Contact (1996), Insurrection (1999), and Nemesis (2002).
Nemesis was the last adventure for the crew before they all went their separate ways.
However, Stewart recently revealed that he would be returning to the iconic role of Jean-Luc Picard[6] for a brand new series of Star Trek.
The untitled project would not be linked to prequel series Star Trek: Discovery, which is currently in production with work underway on season two.
During a Star Trek event, Stewart announced to fans: “I have spent a lot of time recently watching Star Trek: The Next Generation including episodes I’d never seen before which was fun and exciting.
“And gradually it became clearer and clearer to me that the power of that show, the success of that show, the benefits it gave…
“I have never ever grown tired of hearing from people who stop me in the street or in a restaurant, who say to me, ‘Your show changed my life. Without Star Trek: The Next Generation I might not be here.’
“And that lies at the very centre of what I have to tell you now: Jean-Luc Picard is back.”
Fans are eagerly waiting for the new Star Trek series with Jean-Luc Picard, which is in the early stages of development with Discovery’s executive producer Alex Kurtzman also working on the forthcoming show.
