Shatner plans Star Trek prequel
Former Star Trek Captain William Shatner is hoping to bring the cult sci-fi show back to TV - he's writing a pilot for a prequel show.
The actor, who played Captain James T Kirk in the original Star Trek series, wants to bring the glory days back to the show and is working on a treatment that will pre-date the first episode.
He says: "I'm writing a couple of books on the adolescent Captain Kirk/Spock thing as a prequel. It's also an idea for (US TV network) CBS to use as the next series of Star Trek."
