Artwork celebrating some of the nation's favourite television programmes was unveiled today - with the exhibits made entirely from food.

Artist Prudence Emma Staite has swapped oils and pastels for sausages and tomatoes to create the TV Dinners display, which includes a depiction of presenter Anne Robinson made entirely from cakes and biscuits, and a life-sized Doctor Who Dalek made from spaghetti bolognese.

The Have I Got News for You team, including London Mayor and former guest presenter Boris Johnson, have been immortalised with a TV dinner of curry, rice and naan bread.

The edible exhibition also sees the famous EastEnders title scene recreated with sausages and mashed potato, and the Top Gear presenters represented using beans on toast.

The works were commissioned by Virgin Media to celebrate the launch of BBC iPlayer on its on-demand television service.

In a survey conducted earlier this month, Virgin Media found that over a quarter of people in the UK eat their evening meal in front of the television every night.

The research also found that sandwiches were the most common food eaten while on the sofa, followed by pizza and spaghetti bolognese.

The TV Dinners exhibition will be going on display next month at Virgin Media headquarters in Hook, Hampshire.
