There was a repeat of 'Are You Being Served' on BBC2 on Saturday night. The staff were selling toys for a day, instead of clothes.
The ladieswear dept got the dolls to sell. There was a brief glimpse of a teen doll, named as Playmate Penny. I couldn't make out what doll she was, though the head looked too small for her to be Sindy. We got a much clearer view of her friend, Funtime Freddy. He was actually Peter, from the Champions equestrian themed range by Pedigree.
Behind the counter was a display of boxes, which included some Sindy items in the pink 70's design. The only one I could make out was an Active Sindy box, with a picture of the ballerina doll bending over.
There was also some Weebles, named Wibbly-Wobblies for the show, and one of those plastic tree/doll's house toys that James May's sister had. (I don't remember them, but he featured it in his programme on girl's toys - and blew one up). Oh, and there was one of those money boxes, where you put the coin in a groove, and a zombie hand comes out to grab the coin and take it inside. I definitely remember those - I think my brother had one.
All in all, very nostalgic.
