ARE YOU A TWIN? Were you a toy tester on the Late Late Toy Show in the ’80s? Maybe you can help RTÉ out.

Ahead of the Late Late Toy Show this Friday, they’re taking a trip down memory lane with some old stills from the archives. They’re looking to identify these twins, who appeared as toy testers in the 1988 Toy Show.

Here are the cute pair, in matching stripy tops and hair braids, demonstrating toys with Gay Byrne.
