A look at the must-have toys that dominated Britain's gift lists from the 1970s to now. From Furbies to Teletubbies, and Buzz Lightyears to Rubik's cubes, this is the story of mile-long queues outside toy shops, and the ecstasy on Christmas morning of knowing that Santa brought you exactly what you wanted.
