Do you remember the toys you desperately wanted as a child... but never got?
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, toy shop shelves were filled with incredible visions of the future. Space helmets, electronic wrist communicators, radio-controlled spacecraft and talking battle stations promised a world of space exploration, alien planets and interstellar adventure.
In this episode of What Mum Never Bought Us, we're finally bringing those childhood dreams home.
Join me as I take a look at five amazing vintage space toys from the golden age of science fiction, including the incredible Star Blazer Space Warrior Headset, Mattel's Battlestar Galactica electronic game, the legendary Star Bird, Space Turbo and more.
We'll explore how these toys looked through a child's eyes, compare them to reality, discover the stories behind them, and find out whether they still have the power to spark our imagination decades later.
