Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
This month's additions include Masters of Cinema's Early Murnau box set — something I've had half an eye on since it came out, but I already owned most of its contents on DVD. But now it's going out of print (it's already sold out on their website), so I finally snapped it up. That results in some shenanigans below, what with it being a single release containing three discs and five films that replaces three titles containing four discs and four films.
Number of titles in collection: 3,048 [down 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,029 [down 3]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,019 [up 2]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 246 [no change]
Number of discs in collection: 7,524 [no change]
Number of films: 3,736 [up 2]
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.

Collection Count
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]

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...
