Designer helps put first doll into space

The first doll thought to have ever been taken into space was originally developed by a Caldecote toy designer.

Earlier this week, British astronaut Tim Peake tweeted a photo of a Stargazer Lottie doll, with the design adapted by a six-year-old Canadian to inspire girls' interest in science.

Rachel Godfroy, who was in toy firm Arklu's design team for the original Lottie doll, said: "It's a great honour to be part of this team which has taken a doll into toy history."
