Beats the hell out of Loose Women and Bargain Hunt, if you're in the house of an afternoon. The books were great for all those train journeys I used to take, ten years back. Cambridge was a great place to get a cheap paperback, let me tell ya. Original Trek, I hadn't seen for yonks. I got the first series (in the new Remastered format) for my birthday, and even though it's repetitive, even though it's old-fashioned and cheesy, it is still the very very best. Haven't seen the new fillum, yet. Makes me really quite sad. Sure I'll enjoy it, though, but it really makes me sad to think that these characters have been so readily and rapidly reduced to "parts." Not to mention the terrible thought that nobody can concieve of a quasi-utopian humanist future that doesn't come with a crenellated forehead. I dread the Oasis that grows out of this particular Beatles. //\Oo/\\ Trek is played all week long on the Freeview channel Virgin1 – an hour of Enterprise, then Voyager, then DS9, on a massive loop.
