Nope. I'll elaborate on the clue! DJ was also the initials of its presenter, pictured. He worked until comapratively recently as a presenter or even 'DJ' (in the old fashioned sense - think Pete Murray) on the radio

Jukebox Jury it is! (David Jacobs was its presenter!) It actually commenced on TV in 1959 in the UK but became a 'hit' in 1960.

A bit easier (perhaps). What is the popular 'toy' here which hit the shelves in 1965?

 

[Sam Atherton]

Spirograph!

 

[nickjones]

Arrrrghhhhhhhh it's plastic and you draw shapes with it..
Spyrogiro or summut daft like that...cruel mr Payn...cruel

 

[Dave Payn]

Spirograph!

Quick on the 'draw' there!

Correct!

This toy was 'just for Christmas' in 1968, but what was its name?

 

[Sam Atherton]

Is that one of those fisher-price dogs on wheels? Not sure what they're called though, snoopy perhaps?
