The Hound of the Baskervilles
Enthusiastic performances and a breathless pace can’t disguise the fact that there simply aren’t enough gags in this comedic adaptation of Sherlock Holmes’ most famous adventure — although they do mean that, when one does land, it’s momentarily delightful.

The version starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate. I've wanted to see this since it was announced (over a decade ago, apparently!), so it's great to finally have had the chance.

Collection Count

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

With some stuff randomly stuck in the post, there's just one new addition this week. Technically it's an upgrade from DVD straight to 4K, but there are some special features on the DVD I might want to keep, so that stays counted for now.

Number of titles in collection: 2,814 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,055 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,759 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 166 [up 1]

Number of discs in collection: 7,028 [up 2]
Number of films: 3,354 [up 1]
Number of additional cuts: 256 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,268 [no change]

Trivia Quest
1x01 Reel Talk
1x02 Tune In
Is this really a TV show? It's a trivia game... but it's on Netflix, presented as an interactive series, with a new episode each day. So it's kind of a hybrid, I guess... but, really, it's more of a game — you can even replay episodes in "Hard Mode" — just presented using Netflix's interactivity tech. (FWIW, on the first, movies-themed episode, I scored full points on both standard and hard modes first time through.)

TV

Doctor Who
9x14 The Sea Devils Episode Six
An all-action climax, with gunfights and speedboat chases galore — not the kind of thing you typically expect from classic Who. While it’s all suitably thrilling, it seems to mainly be there to provide cover for the rather thin plot, which rehashes The Silurians to diminishing effect. Fun in places, but hardly one of Who’s greatest narratives.

Films

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
I'm a bit behind and out of sync with the MCU at this point. But this movie was so widely acclaimed, it seems worth skipping a couple of other films and TV series to see what all the fuss is about. Their continuity isn't that intertwined, after all.
