Beginning to suspect this last burst of adventure is going to be a tie-in to the 2022 calendar, which I don't have and didn't intend to get (I'm going on to 2024 next, of course). I might be wrong on that count, but it'll be a little frustrating if I'm right...

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
The stars never quite seem to align, do they? This week: the rarity of a new DVD (a free one with a Doctor Who fanzine). And it contains what I'm classing as short films, another infrequently-boosted number. But, despite acquiring quite a few recently, no 4Ks this week. If only a couple of things had moved through the post a bit quicker, there would have been — and then the stars would have aligned and every number in these stats would've gone up. Never mind.
Number of titles in collection: 3,207 [up 2]
Of which DVDs: 1,021 [up 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,186 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 318 [no change]
Number of discs in collection: 7,827 [up 4]
Number of films: 3,943 [no change]
Number of additional cuts: 349 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,668 [up 3]
Number of short films: 1,109 [up 3]
Oh, and as for the "nine new releases" I mentioned were expected last week? The grand total to have now turned up is... two. Will the remaining seven turn up before the end of the year? They bloody well should, but I wouldn't put money on it.
See you next week, faithful reader, for the final tally of the year!

I wanted to get a little ahead, but I didn't mean to play three days' worth! But that's because these days contain the climax to the story and a few quick days of resting and whatnot. And yet, there's still two-and-a-half weeks of the calendar to go. What will happen?!

Russell T Davies: The Doctor and Me
This was fantastic. A great reminder of how much important TV RTD has created, and also how important that TV has been. Doctor Who is beyond lucky to have someone of that calibre in charge.

Despite playing ahead to cover my busy weekend, I did have some time after all. I could've just held off, but (like I said) I want to make sure I finish this in December, so playing ahead even further ahead still seems a reasonable idea.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I should have had a fair few titles to add this week — all new releases — but some stuff has got held up with international shipping, other things with old fashioned delays. And when I say "new releases", most were actually out next week, so, really, fair enough.
In the end, out of a possible/predicted nine new additions, only one arrived. And that's one that's technically out on Monday, so, y'know, the others could have managed it too. Ah well, no harm done — it's not like I regularly get round to watching these things...

Not only playing today, but actually tomorrow too — which is what I originally had scheduled for Sunday, but some things have got muddled along the way! But the reason for playing ahead is that I've got a busy weekend to come. I can always catch up after it, of course, but I also want to make sure I finish the game on (or before) December 31st. (Not that my 2024 calendar has arrived yet...)
