You just need a vga lead mate, but that wont carry audio from your laptop to tv unless your tv has a little head phone type connection next to the vga socket.

PC Laptop to HD LCD Plasma TV 15 pin VGA with Jack: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Whats your laptop and tv models mate?

fn and F5 will get it on to your tv but you will need a set of external speakers for to hear it, and you will need a jack plug on the side of your laptop.

just a normal male to male 15 pin VGA cable

Belkin Pro Series High Integrity VGA/SVGA Monitor.. | Ebuyer.com

2M SVGA Monitor Cable - MALE to MALE 15 Pin: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

you would also need a 3.5mm phono lead.
