Doctor Who: The Bedtime Story
David Tennant reads the Cbeebies Bedtime Story... but in character as the Doctor, which... makes this canon? Hm.

Russell T Davies: The Doctor and Me
This was fantastic. A great reminder of how much important TV RTD has created, and also how important that TV has been. Doctor Who is beyond lucky to have someone of that calibre in charge.

The Dragon Staff of Maladoria
22–24 November 2021
Despite playing ahead to cover my busy weekend, I did have some time after all. I could've just held off, but (like I said) I want to make sure I finish this in December, so playing ahead even further ahead still seems a reasonable idea.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I should have had a fair few titles to add this week — all new releases — but some stuff has got held up with international shipping, other things with old fashioned delays. And when I say "new releases", most were actually out next week, so, really, fair enough.
In the end, out of a possible/predicted nine new additions, only one arrived. And that's one that's technically out on Monday, so, y'know, the others could have managed it too. Ah well, no harm done — it's not like I regularly get round to watching these things...
Number of titles in collection: 3,205 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,020 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,185 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 318 [up 1]
Number of discs in collection: 7,823 [up 2]
Number of films: 3,943 [up 1]
Number of additional cuts: 349 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,665 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,106 [no change]
See you next week, faithful reader.

16–21 November 2021
Not only playing today, but actually tomorrow too — which is what I originally had scheduled for Sunday, but some things have got muddled along the way! But the reason for playing ahead is that I've got a busy weekend to come. I can always catch up after it, of course, but I also want to make sure I finish the game on (or before) December 31st. (Not that my 2024 calendar has arrived yet...)

Audiobook
Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection
Introduction to A Study in Scarlet, written & read by Stephen Fry
I bought this yonks ago, because it's exceptionally good value — the entire Holmes canon, lasting almost 72 hours, by an acclaimed reader, for one Audible credit (i.e. £7.99). Big listening commitment, though. Today (prompted, unsurprisingly, by the Lucy Worsley documentary), I loaded up the file to see if I could see the running time of certain stories. I ended up listening to Fry's introduction to the first book. This doesn't necessarily mean I'm about to embark on listening to all of it. It doesn't mean I'm not, though. (But, knowing me, I probably won't.)
