A "formidable array" of licensed and collectible merchandise will be on offer, from a range of popular TV shows and movies.

The chain already has stores in Norwich, Cardiff, Bristol, Cwmbran, Taunton and Hatfield.

One particular item for sale will be previously unreleased Doctor Who figurines.

These Eaglemoss figures were "impounded" after the company went into administration.

However, the company will now sell them exclusively, with the first figure of Doctor Who creature 'Karvanista' going on sale for £14.99.

A spokesperson for The Television and Movie Store said: "Several of these were for all intents and purposes, impounded, when Eaglemoss went bust.

"As the dust has settled and the legalities have been attended to, these figures have finally been rescued! 

"We will shortly have them available exclusively...

"...We may have a special Doctor Who guest joining us for the occasion as well but as this has all happened in such a short space of time, that remains unconfirmed."
