Star Trek

[Channel Hopper]

not TOS, but yes, the first series. I saw today that the BBC had interviewed Mr Shatner (briefly) at a convention on a Golden anniversary, but from memory it was officially launched on TVs in September 1966. (with a pilot that went out a month or so previously, and pitching to the executives well before then)

So why this week ?

Regardless I can't find any channel that is showing an episode from the first series tonight anywhere, so I'll have to put on a tape of my own.

What Music are you Playing Part 3

Netflix has all of them.

I don't subscribe to anything, but really was expecting more of a fanfare , even if just a quick nod to Mr Rodenberry on this side of the pond.

This version of his really is timeless.

Embarrassing (showing up Daytime tv presenters for the primitive life forms they are)

Yes you are correct, but it was hardly completely out of context, far from it
