Just watching Jonathan Ross's 100 Greatest Toys on Christmas Eve TV. Just got up to the board game RISK followed by Subbuteo. I wonder if they'll show Matchbox's Tracy Island from Xmas 1993. The must-have toy that Yuletide, like Turbo Man in the Arnie film Jingle Bells, it sold out yonks before the Big Day. Anyway, I found this clip of the next best thing at the time, the Blue Peter DIY Tracy Island, put together by the delightful Anthea Turner. Toilet Rolls were never so cool!
Like any good old Cinema presentation, here's a rather cool second feature, a You Tube clip about an original puppet from Captain Scarlet, which graces some lucky person's collection. What a Crissie Prezzie that would be! Drool!
