            <title>Dr Who exhibition extended due to popular demand</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Thumbnail image for Davros_05edit2 copy.jpg" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/Davros_05edit2 copy-thumb-450x299.jpg" width="450" height="299" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span></div>

<p>The Doctor Who Exhibition situated deep beneath Earls Court in the Museum Hall is more popular than ever - it has been extended over the Christmas period and will run until 7th January 2009, due to popular demand.  </p>

<p>Since the exhibition opened in March over 200,000 visitors have poured through the exhibition doors, and this Christmas families and avid Doctor Who fans will be able to see and experience some of Doctor Who's deadliest enemies - the Daleks, the Sontarans, the Cybermen and many more. </p>

<p>The exhibition is the largest of its kind in the entire galaxy and features many of the actual props, costumes and monsters from the globally-famous BBC series, together with some fascinating insights into how the programme is made. </p>

<p>Around every corner lurks another incredible creature from Doctor Who. Slitheen, Ood, the Hath, Absorbaloff and even the fearsome Empress of Racnoss have been brought to London's Earls Court for the very first time. The exhibition also features a never-before-seen 'Dalek Zone' the ultimate experience for any die hard Doctor Who fan who has the courage to face the universe's most deadliest creature. </p>

<p>Nigel Nathan, Managing Director, EC&O Venues said: "We're delighted that the Doctor Who Exhibition has been extended for the Christmas period.  It has proven to be a really big hit over the autumn school half term and will no doubt continue as we head into the festive season and will offer families and fans something a little bit different to experience this Christmas." </p>

<p>The Doctor Who Exhibition will continue until Wednesday 7th January 2009.  For further details and to book tickets visit www.eco.co.uk/doctorwho </p>]]></description>

            <title>Interesting news for fans of Lost/Prison Break and 24</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Lost Kate1.jpg" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/Lost%20Kate1.jpg" width="249" height="377" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span></div>

<p><em>BSKYB and Virgin Media have ended a high-profile spat over Sky basic channel charges as the two groups announced a breakthrough agreement.</p>

<p>Virgin has signed a deal that will see Sky's core channels return to the cable channel for the first time since February last year, when the charges row left fans of hit shows such as Lost and 24 stranded mid-series. </p>

<p>Both firms said yesterday that they had agreed to end all English High Court proceedings against each other.</em></p>

<p>I think Virgin may find a flood of new customers!</p>]]></description>

            <title>Win cult movie t-shirts from Alien, Jaws, Shawshank and Back To The Future</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><img alt="" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/amity.jpg" width="148" height="202" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;"/></span></div></div>

<p>Film related t-shirts are nothing new  you see them all the timethis new range of cult film t-shirts at <a href="http://www.lastexittonowhere.com">www.lastexittonowhere.com</a> is a breath of fresh air.</p>

<p>These are the ultimate fashion statement, oozing geekiness but in a very, very cool way. The slogans on the t-shirts are so subtle that it takes a while to realise what the film is.</p>

<p>This is a collection of unique shirt designs inspired by movies and paying homage to some of the most memorable places, corporations and companies in modern fiction.</p>

<p>Lastexittonowhere sent us some of their shirts to try out. We got a fantastic selection and the guys in the office who didn't get their grubby mitts on them have been very envious.</p>

<p>Here are the shirts we tried out...</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><img alt="" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/back.jpg" width="148" height="202" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;"/></span></div>

<p>If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. It's Hill Valley High School from the brilliant 1985 film Back to the Future.</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><img alt="" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/shawshank.jpg" width="148" height="202" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;"/></span></div>

<p>There are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. </p>

<p>There's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours... </p>

<p>The Shawshank State Prison is a fictional penitentiary from The Shawshank Redemption (based on the Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption).</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><img alt="" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/nostro.jpg" width="148" height="202" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;"/></span></div></div>

<p>The other members of the crew, Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash and Captain Dallas, are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. </p>

<p>With a little luck, the network will pick me up. It's Alien cargo ship Nostromo.</p>

<p>Need more convincing? Have a look at the great range and buy your own right here - <a href="www.lastexittonowhere.com">http://www.lastexittonowhere.com</a></p>

<p>But here's the best news of all.</p>

<p>The guys at <a href="www.lastexittonowhere.com">www.lastexittonowhere.com</a> have agreed to give five Anorak City readers a chance to win one of the t-shirts each.</p>

<p>All you have to do to stand a chance of winning is tell us the name of the famous pub in American Werewolf in London.</p>

<p>Send your entries to <a href="mailto:webmaster@sundaymercury.net">webmaster@sundaymercury.net </a></p>

<p>Usual Trinity Mirror Rules will apply.<br />

            <title>How Lost season 4 could have ended!</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DWWMYFAycmQ&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DWWMYFAycmQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>

<p>Okay, so we all know who ended up in the box.</p>

<p>Lost series four ended with the explosive revelation that John Locke was the Jeremy Bentham in the coffin.</p>

<p>But producers left it 'til the last minute, and had alternative endings.</p>

<p>Take a peek inside the casket ...<br />
