Was watching it on TPTV that was on a few days ago, unfortunately only available on catch up for a few days after broadcast and in UK and Ireland,
I couldn't find thisparticular episode on YouTube.

Whilst not entirely on Toy Soldiers, it did give a brief look into the 1960s production of plastic Soldiers and another visit to Film Star, Peter Cushings home and his collection of Toy Soldiers, as I've seen a similar visit on other vintage footage.

So whilst I can't put a link to the actual programme, I've attached a couple of photos from a website.

Last pic is Cushing firing ping pong balls up at a model aircraft, suspended from the ceiling, which when hit, released a toy soldier parachutist !
I remember seeing those ping pong guns in toy shops in the Sixties, but never had enough pocket money to buy one, does anyone else remember them, or perhaps even had one !?
