You get the idea. Never happened. Too expensive. Too many copyrights.
You'd have to have created the content yourself and also used older PD content.

People often make this mistake with 1st books (full poems or lyrics owned by others) or play / movie scripts (included music). BBC discovered they had problems with Shoestring 2nd series home release due to music royalties. It might be why there were a lot of cuts on re-showing.
