Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Just one addition this week — a brand-new release on 4K, Babylon. Most of the new releases I buy nowadays are from boutique labels and, for whatever reason, they seem to favour releasing towards the end of the month, so expect plenty more in the next couple of weeks. Indeed, my current list of preorders totals 23 more titles before April ends.
Number of titles in collection: 3,049 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,032 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,017 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 246 [up 1]
Number of discs in collection: 7,524 [up 2]
Number of films: 3,734 [up 1]
Number of additional cuts: 308 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,589 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,045 [no change]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Doctor Who
2x34 The Death of Doctor Who
2x35 The Planet of Decision
aka The Chase Parts Five and Six.
Back in February, when I popped in The Collection: Season 2 - Disc 3 to watch the first part of The Rescue, I didn't intend to stick with season 2 for so long. I'd wanted to watch The Romans, and decided I may as well first watch the preceding two-parter that introduced Vicki; and when I realised The Web Planet came next, it seemed about time that I finally watched such an infamous story. Then I noticed I was within shouting distance of (a) the earliest Dalek story I'd not seen, which (b) was also Ian and Barbara's exit, and so it seemed only right to continue to that point. If I hadn't, I would've just gone off and found some other stories I'd not seen to watch next, so it may as well be these ones.
But now, I'm at the end of that. There is only one more story in season 2, The Time Meddler, but I only watched that fairly recently (almost three years ago, in fact, but that's "recent" in my perception of time), so I won't watch it again right now. But I might only skip ahead by one, because the season 3 premiere was Galaxy 4, and I've not watched the animated reconstruction of that yet...

Doctor Who
2x32 Flight Through Eternity
2x33 Journey Into Terror
aka The Chase Parts Three and Four. Plenty of six-parters are known for padding out their middle section, but I’m not sure any other ever did it so obviously as this.

Doctor Who
2x31 The Death of Time
aka The Chase Part Two. In which time does not die, but a Dalek does say, "well, see to it!" Funny old show.

Audio Drama
Hell Cats
1x04 The Price of Freedom
1x05 Three is a Crowd
Now that this has settled into being a drama about pirates (as opposed to the first couple of episodes, which were setup and backstory), it's more or less exactly what I wanted it to be (i.e. piratical adventures) and pretty darn enjoyable. No offence to audio drama as a medium, but I imagine it would make a fun TV show (I probably ought to get round to Black Sails, eh?)
[Listen to it (again) on Audible.]

No film reviews on 100Films.co.uk again this week, but it is the start of a new month, meaning a look back at the one just passed...
...including all the things I failed to watch during it...
More next Sunday, maybe.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Six new additions this week, although four of them were upgrades. Second Sight's long-awaited 4K release of George A. Romero's Martin doesn't usurp the old Arrow DVD from my collection because that has unique special features, but elsewise, I switched out 88 Films' BD of Dragons Forever for their 4K release, and their older BD of Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin for a remastered one (I've never seen either film, but I got a good discount); plus StudioCanal's 4K reissue of The City of Lost Children turned up a few days early. That's a title I've owned on DVD and Blu-ray, and now 4K, but never actually seen. More fool me.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Eight new additions this week, but a mix of upgrades keeps the final tally lower. The big one was Doctor Who season 9, which (for the time being) removes two DVDs (it'll be more once some special features turn up on future releases). I also upgraded John Wick 1 and 2 to 4K, so that's two BDs replaced by a 4K set. And I upgraded Red Eye right from DVD (which I only bought, cheap, a decade ago, because a Blu-ray wasn't forthcoming and I wanted to rewatch it. That disc has never entered a player) to its new 4K release (I will rewatch it this time! I will!)
Anyway, that means that, despite this veritable pile of new stuff sat next to me ony my desk, the net change to titles is only +3.
Number of titles in collection: 3,045 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,032 [down 3]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,013 [up 6]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 242 [up 3]
Number of discs in collection: 7,514 [up 11]
Number of films: 3,730 [up 4]
Number of additional cuts: 307 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,575 [up 16]
Number of short films: 1,044 [up 1]
All of which has happened just in time for the monthly running time update...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
535 days, 8 hours, and 49 minutes.
(Up 2 days, 12 hours, and 37 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.
