Beginning to suspect this last burst of adventure is going to be a tie-in to the 2022 calendar, which I don't have and didn't intend to get (I'm going on to 2024 next, of course). I might be wrong on that count, but it'll be a little frustrating if I'm right...

Collection Count

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

The stars never quite seem to align, do they? This week: the rarity of a new DVD (a free one with a Doctor Who fanzine). And it contains what I'm classing as short films, another infrequently-boosted number. But, despite acquiring quite a few recently, no 4Ks this week. If only a couple of things had moved through the post a bit quicker, there would have been — and then the stars would have aligned and every number in these stats would've gone up. Never mind.

Number of titles in collection: 3,207 [up 2]
Of which DVDs: 1,021 [up 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,186 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 318 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 7,827 [up 4]
Number of films: 3,943 [no change]
Number of additional cuts: 349 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,668 [up 3]
Number of short films: 1,109 [up 3]

Oh, and as for the "nine new releases" I mentioned were expected last week? The grand total to have now turned up is... two. Will the remaining seven turn up before the end of the year? They bloody well should, but I wouldn't put money on it.

See you next week, faithful reader, for the final tally of the year!
