Having just caught up (er, four months ago), now I've fallen well behind again! Oops. Another casualty of my Doctor Who focus towards the end of 2023. I had intended to try to catch up again in December, during the period when the bumper Christmas issue was on shelves meaning no new Progs until January, but it didn't happen. Hopefully I'll get to that Christmas issue before too long — it's always going to be unseasonal now, but the sooner the better.

Collection Count

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

A goodly haul this month — a mix of January sales & offers (including one DVD-to-4K upgrade, a quality jump that always tickles me) and a handful of new releases (technically out over the coming fortnight) from Eureka.

Number of titles in collection: 3,226 [up 7]
Of which DVDs: 1,016 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,210 [up 8]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 327 [up 3]

Number of discs in collection: 7,862 [up 12]

Number of additional cuts: 352 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.
