Description

Anthony Baxter reports on the best selling toys this Christmas, with the Thunderbirds revival securing them firmly at number one. Creator Gerry Anderson discusses their appeal whilst Matthew Brown from Matchbox says they have been overwhelmed by demand. Middlesbrough shopkeeper Brian Parish counts down others in the top five: Barbie, Gladiators, WWF figurines and Crash Dummies and Sega and Nintendo are good sellers but is cautious given what happened with Atari. Includes vox pop with shoppers; Thunderbirds’ music and dialogue between characters Lady Penelope and Parker.
