Doctor Who
40x0A The Star Beast [60th anniversary special #1]
Hurrah, it's finally here! Wasn't quite sure how to number this one (normally specials are attached to a series, but this is a series of specials without a series), but that's the least important thing because... yay, RTD's back! David Tennant's back! And all the fun and joy and excitement and daftness and wonder and thrills of their time are back, too. Magnificent fun. Also watched the in-vision commentary, which is available on iPlayer here.

Doctor Who: Unleashed
1x01 The Star Beast
Ah, the new behind-the-scenes show — I would say "replacing Confidential", but as Confidential has been dead for over a decade, I guess it's connected only in spirit. But it's definitely got the same spirit. I mean, I suppose it is technically a new and modified version (Confidential never had an on-screen, on set presenter), but it feels in-keeping. And that's a good thing.

Secrets & Scandals of Doctor Who
Channel 5 getting in on the 60th in their own particular way. Though I don't think there was anything particularly new here for those up on their Doctor Who history, and it was quite classic series focused — more modern controversies (Chris Eccleston's first season and departure; John Barrowman's behaviour) aren't mentioned. So, kind of an odd duck of a doc, really.

Collection Count

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.

I feel like I got a bit carried away this Black Friday weekend... but that's all orders, of course, so they'll turn up next week (or later, as some were preorders; and a lot of what I spent was on LEGO, actually. But still — there's stuff to come).

As for this week, two new 4K titles are joined by a BD-to-4K upgrade and a 4K catalogue title to make an all-4K week. Exciting!

Of which DVDs: 1,021 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,178 [up 3]
