FOLLOWERS of the cult sci-fi TV series Stargate are expected to converge on the Brunel Centre on Thursday.

Two of the most popular stars of the series, Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) and Christopher Judge (Teal'c), will be at Infinitely Better, the memorabilia store on the first floor of the Brunel Centre.

They will start signing autographs and meeting fans from 2.30pm until 7pm after cutting the ribbon to open the store's new gallery extension.

Steve Goss, managing director of the store, said: "I fully expect numbers to be double those of any previous signings."

He is particularly proud of the fact that the Stargate through which characters pass on their way to adventures in the show, is being loaned by MGM for the day.

It will be situated under the Link Bridge in Canal Walk.

The Brunel Centre also has lots of activities planned for the afternoon including a Pyramid Trail and an Egyptian colouring competition.
