Neighbours
1x8903 The Finale [series finale]
I haven't watched Neighbours in over 20 years, but I was a regular viewer back in the day — it's part of my childhood — so I had to tune in for this final goodbye! Obviously I had no idea who most of the characters were (of course I didn't know the young people; the oldies was a constant game of "do I recognise them or not?") and I had to infer most of the storylines, but hey-ho, that is what it is. Overall, quite a sweet goodbye.

Neighbours Made Me a Star
I hadn't intended to watch this — I assumed it was going to be an empty clip show of Neighbours actors in other productions — but the title actually belied that this was a kind of history of the soap through the lens of the people it made famous, so it was a fitting part of the finale evening. Glad I stuck around for it.

1x08 Episode 8 [season finale]
Overall, this series wasn't as good as I'd hoped it would be, but it's not bad. I feel like if they'd tightened each episode up to 30 minutes (instead of the c.48 they do run) it would've been better. Still, if they bother to make a second series, I'll watch it.

Collection Count

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

A solid but not huge update this week, with four new additions (one a BD-to-4K upgrade). But this post is a couple of days late because it was also time for the monthly running time update, including all the busy last few weeks, and I needed a bit of time to add all that up. Results below...

Number of titles in collection: 2,885 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,050 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,835 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 188 [up 2]

Number of discs in collection: 7,172 [up 6]
Number of films: 3,448 [up 2]
Number of additional cuts: 273 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,336 [up 13]
Number of short films: 994 [up 1]

Total running time of collection (approx.):
513 days, 12 hours, and 10 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 15 hours, and 17 minutes from last month.)

See you next week, faithful reader.

I've seen Les Mis on stage before — before this blog began, in 2006 (if I remember rightly). This was a 'new' staging ('new' in 2009), which was pretty impressive. The film is good 'n' all, but I think the show plays best on stage.

Popped back onto this for the first time in a while. Accidentally finished it. The narrative's not up to much, but the puzzles are quite fun. I expect I'll get the next one, too.

1x01 Failure's Contagious
We're already guaranteed at least four seasons of this spy thriller on Apple TV+, so it's a good thing it's off to a strong start. With its grounded, washed-up spooks, it's a bit like a more dryly humourous version of Le Carré. Let's hope it's got the same smarts to pull that off all the way to the finish.

If you were wondering why I'm watching such a random week of House of Games (no one was, but still), it's because it's the only week still available on iPlayer that I've never seen. But once it's done, I do have a load of older ones downloaded.
