I own an American TV guide from May 1987. I'll post a photo when I can. It really is quite fascinating.

I couldn't take a photo, but here's the TV guide I own:
I bought it from America for about £25 or something a few years back. There's a couple of pages devoted to My Sister Sam and an interesting preview for Queenie starring Mia Sara. According to the Video Cassette Report Top Gun and Aliens were the top rentals that week.
Apparently I can get any 3 compact discs for a penny. I'm sure the shipping and handling costs the same amount as three CDs

Some old Starburst magazines from the 80s and a bit of an odd choice but an Playboy magazine that was also seen briefly in the Shining.

I suppose one of the most obscure TV shows DVDs I own is the German/Canadian 1985 co-production of The Little Vampire. Which I loved as a kid, and was massively obscure for years afterwards. Christ, I knew Michael Gough was in it yet I couldn't even find it mentioned in relation to him on the net in the 2000s! I think it's had a Western release now, though how widespread available it is I'm not sure, but I forked out like $100 for it in 2009 when it came out on DVD in Germany.
Ah, the importance of childhood nostalgia...

I have so much weird stuff, I wouldn't know where to start. But my most unusual Doctor Who related thing is this Beta tape. It has Revelation of the Daleks recorded off of over-the-air TV from back in 1985 (I didn't make the recording - I found the tape at a thrift store).
They showed Doctor who on PBS, "public broadcasting service," on which they didn't show commercials but occasionally they would do these things in between shows where they tried to get people to donate money to the TV station. In this one, they have a recording of Colin Baker where he talks backwards and asks you to donate to the channel. After they showed Revelation they had the second half of the Keys of Marinus, then an episode of The Tripods, followed by some talk show I just fast-forwarded through. Whoever made this tape probably just left it recording all night until the tape ran out.
