Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.
The rest of us are a bit crap.

I'm a fan, but you'd have to be a bit of a nerd to remember the birthday of a tv show
Happy birthday Star Trek

I caught a bit of one of the movies on Film4 last night.
Malcolm McDowell (I think) was trying to kill Picard and Kirk.

Happy Birthday Star Trek, may you live long and prosper.
I can still remember reading about the show in the newspaper. they had a picture in there of the entire crew and a story saying that the "five year mission" was coming to British TV soon.
I loved it, but Ifind some of those early episodes a little difficult to watch these days - same goes for early TNG.
I dare say I'll get the boxed sets of the original series - although I can't see me ever getting the animated series.
