Too big a job for me

I recently added Sherlock Holmes: The Complete BBC Collection

And thought I'd got it separated from the books, but I haven't. It's too mind-boggling for me to tackle, but maybe someone with a lot more patience and experience could have a crack at it. There are other versions of this same radio dramas that could be combined with this one, but not with the original texts since they're plays/dramatizations. There are also subsets of the collection released as their own bundles.

Let me know if I can do anything to assist or enlighten.

Ok, now looking again it seems I have separated it, but maybe I haven't. I landed on the same book page and it still showed over 12,000 copies on LT.

You've separated your copy (if you look at the main page for the work you cited, https://www.librarything.com/work/31923232/summary, you'll see that there is only one copy of that work, and it's yours). You might be able to combine it with the other "main" version of the BBC series, if you can find it. But sorting out Sherlock Holmes is beyond the power of most of us, because there will be too many copies of most of the works. :-/

I'd recommend searching on the Doyle combining page for "BBC" to see if any of them matches yours. I don't know enough to know which if any is the right one, but there aren't too many to sort through.

There's also some low-hanging fruit on that page for someone who speaks Arabic or Japanese (I don't think I'd trust Google Translate for this) to match up a bunch of singletons.

Ok fair enough. It is a daunting work page to be sure. I'll see if I can corral the BBC dramas though.
