I suppose it might not be the strangest or the most obscure product, but I still wonder why I bought Destiny of the Daleks on Vinyl when I have the story on DVD and Blu ray lol. It's literally the audio soundtrack with Lalla's narration. I could easily just watch the story, but on one occasion I listened to the whole thing on my record player and I loved the experience. Because the sound quality is so good it feels live and I liked shutting my eyes and letting the lovely Lalla Ward describe images that are already imprinted into my brain.  |

I brought a copy of Matthew Waterhouse's Blue Box Boy a few years ago from a second hand book shop and funnily enough, not only was it signed but he'd signed it to a bloke with the same name which was f*cking weird and amusing. I do seem to have a knack for finding signed books as the copy of the Tenth Planet novelisation I got three months ago at a collectable shop was signed by Anneke Wills albeit to some other bloke. Most obscure thing I own is two limited edition CDs that were released in the late 90s. One titled Devil's Planet which has a collection of stock music from 60s Who and the other being the Tomb of the Cybermen soundtrack (the score, not the actual episode audio). And this isn't me but circa 2008, I was helping a neighbour unload his Christmas shopping from a local bargain store and one of these items was a Spunkhair figure for his lad which not only could be best described as 'David Tennant fresh from the mortuary'' but came packaged with a flashlight for some reason. Looked it up a few years later and it turned out to be a bootleg. Needless to say, they made some strange f*cking things like a Cyberman helicopter and a ''WhoMobile'' that was just a plastic Mazda that played some shitty dance track you'd hear in a grim Ibiza nightclub. God forbid any other poor kid got any of that shite for Christmas.  |

And best of all, losing the images only costs £70 extra..!  |

Now if Maxil's record just repeats that over and over in Lalla's voice i'd be in seventh heaven..! |

What we really need to know, of course, is if we have any owners of the legendary Tom Baker underpants on the forum..!

I'm still waiting for a Doctor Who butt plug. If not, I'll just use Ncuti's sonic screwdriver when it gets released.

Still got a pack of cards with the diamond logo on. Think it came with the Dalek tin set in 93 for the 30th. Never played with them so still in perfect condition.

I've owned a Tenth Doctor sonic for ten years. Which isn't very interesting, but the part that surprises me is that it still works perfectly. You'd think the battery would have died out by this point.

My Attack of the Cybermen novel. I'll send pictures another time, but it has seriously had its day. The whole thing is no longer held by the glue and every time I open it even more pages come apart.

I have Moffat's Day of the Doctor novelisation, and to this day I'm still shocked someone let him write that. It's all of Moffat's excess dialled up to 11.

I'd never read a NuWho novel. I'm surprised they're not all illustrated books with three words per page.

I think I tried once in the late 2000s with one of the Tennants as it was written by Mark Morris, who wrote a number of very enjoyable horror ones in the BBC Books EDA/PDA ranges, but it was clearly really dumbed down for the New Poo audience.
