Comedian Stephen Merchant's childhood Star Wars toys have been sold for more than £5,000 to help raise money for a local school.

- Filipa Gaspar

The 50-year-old actor was born in Hanham and went on to co-write comedy series The Office and Extras with Ricky Gervais.

His most recent work - the comedy drama series The Outlaws - was filmed in his hometown area.

Star Wars fans had the opportunity to purchase his childhood toys - with the funds going to a worthy cause.

More than 30 lots of action figures and playsets went under the hammer at Auctioneum Ltd in Bristol.
