Hi, you can get a VGA to Scart lead that will collect the laptop to the TV but this will only be display & not sound.
you can get one from here or just search on google.

Depending on the make of laptop you will need to send the video signal to the vga (blue socket) on the back of the laptop by pressing the
Fn button + another key.. they all differ depending on make. but you will notice what the other key is as it will either say CRT/ LCD or have a icon of a tv on the key, this will switch the display from the laptop to the TV.
hope this helps..

I think that you'll need a 3.5 sound jack to RCA converter.Comment

If you goto maplins you should be able to get all you need from there, i have twin Phono Jacks on my TV and use a 3.5mm jack adapter like this ...
3.5mm Jack to 2 x RCA Phono Audio Cable Silver 1m Lead on eBay (end time 31-Oct-09 22:48:38 GMT)
but thats if your tv has them on the back, & plug the 3.5mm jack direct into the headphone socket of the laptop.
Good Luck..
