The Palitoy worker who invented Action Man's gripping hand

As one of Britain's best-known toy producers, Palitoy was responsible for making a host of famous stocking-filler names.

Action Man was one of its most famous creations.

BBC Inside Out East Midlands's Des Coleman speaks to former Palitoy employee Bob Brechin about his memories of modelling Action Man's famous grip on his own hand.

Inside Out is broadcast on BBC One East Midlands at 19:30 on Monday 14 September and nationwide for 30 days thereafter on the iPlayer.
