A Swindon shop in the town centre used to attract many famous faces from the world of film and TV.

Fans often queued up outside the old Infinitely Better store in the Brunel Shopping Centre as they were eager to get a chance to meet their heroes of the small and silver screens.

The specialist retailer also stocked rare memorabilia, including signed props, posters, musical instruments, and other interesting entertainment artefacts.

Sadly, it closed in 2006 after the business collapsed into administration.

The cast of science-fiction TV shows like Stargate, Star Trek, and Red Dwarf, stopped by to say hello, as did stars from Only Fools and Horses, actresses who featured in James Bond films, fantasy favourites from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harry Potter, and even the Incredible Hulk himself.
