Nicola Bryant Signing

Saturday saw the lovely Nicola Bryant visit the Television and Movie Store in Norwich. Nicola is probably best known for her role as Peri (Perpugilliam) Brown, companion to both the 5th (Davison) and 6th (Baker) Doctors, witnessing his regeneration.

As with all of our guests from Doctor Who, we continue to be surprised at just how nice these people are! Nicola was full of excellent tales of her time in the TARDIS, informing us of the wide and varied things she's doing now, and (of course) took the time to sign merchandise for all of the fans who came down on the day.


Of course, some of us took the opportunity to pose for a photo - though I tried by best not to look like a scary stalker...

...didn't work, did it?

Our next event sees the busy half-term holiday off in style this Saturday with another of our popular swap-days, where you can come and swap your Battles in Time, MicroUniverse and even Panini Stickers.

Half Term has certainly brought people into the store in the masses, and the most popular items at the moment are the ever popular Ben 10, and the new Indiana Jones figures (we only have a couple left!) Must mean the film is good (I haven't seen it yet, so can't comment!)

Nicola Bryant! (And more...)

Hey all, Will here to update you on the latest goings-on at the Television and Movie Store!


We've had lots of new products arriving over the last few weeks, including the much anticipated Voyage of the Damned set from Character Options. Featuring a 5" Doctor, A mini Astrid Peth (Or just plain Kylie, if you're a fan!) and two Host. The set also inludes two of the Host's halos, a sonic screwdriver for the Doctor to hold and a Titanic lifebelt!

We've also just received the latest voice changer mask from Character. A half-Dalek head, three modes give Dalek speech, Dalek gun sound or converts your voice to sound like one of Skaro’s finest!

Another exciting arival is the new ‘Starships and Spacestations’ book from BBC Books. Following in the same vein as the monster guides from the last three years, this book looks in-depth at spaceships from both new and classic Doctor Who. The book crams an awful lot of detail in, and is a must for fans of the show!

On the subject of books, we’ve just received the new Heroes book – Saving Charlie! The book follows the exploits of Hiro, who must use his ability to stop time to save Charlie, the girl he loves, from being brutally murdered. It takes place during the time in Series 1, when Hiro leaps back in time six months to stop Charlie from being killed by Sylar.


We've currently got a wide range of Spongebob Squarepants items in stock. Beanie Babies, Glasses Cases and Mugs! We’ve also got a large range of childrens' activity books in, ranging from Bob the Builder to Lazy Town and Barbie! Also just in time for the release of Marvel’s two summer blockbusters – Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk – we’ve got colouring books in for both films! Don’t forget our selection of BEN 10 products – including action figures, towels and alarm clocks!


NICOLA BRYANT


After the recent signings of Sophie Aldred and Sylvester McCoy, we’re very pleased to welcome Nicola Bryant to our store on May 24th! Nicola played the part of Peri Brown opposite the Fifth and Sixth Doctors in Doctor Who.


Nicola should be with us from about half past 10, and staying until the early afternoon, and will be signing DVDs, prints and books.As usual, there will be a minimum spend of £10 to have something signed.

The following Week, on 31st May, we will be holding our third Trading Day! The last two have been a fantastic success, with people coming from all over to swap Micro Universe and Battles in Time! This time around, maybe people will have the new Torchwood Trading Cards? Or the latest range of Panini Stickers? Come along between 2-4, bring your swaps, and find out!
