This week Arthur Negus visits the Museum of Playthings Past at Rednal, near Birmingham, where Betty Cadbury shows him her huge collection of Victorian toys, especially the mechanical figures and animals. Bears which smoke cigarettes and drink milk, peacocks which display their tail feathers, growling lions and crowing cockerels - they all combine to make a fascinating cacophony of Victorian ingenuity and fun.
