This week, we're getting festive and taking a trip down memory lane to look at the best-selling Christmas toys of the 1970s!

From the toys we desperately wanted (thanks to all those adverts) to the ones that actually made it under the tree.

💬 What to Expect:

🎁 A year-by-year rundown of the most popular Christmas toys from 1970 to 1979

📺 The great Christmas Day dilemma: watch Morecambe and Wise or play with your new Subbuteo?

🎮 How toys evolved from Pet Rocks to the Sony Walkman

❤️ A reminder that the best memories weren't the presents, but the family time

Coming Soon: Our next episode is the Christmas quiz, with questions supplied by you, our lovely listeners!

What were your favourite 70s toys and games? 

Share your memories with us!

Happy Christmas
