BBC News posted a Q&A session with Star Trek star William Shatner, in which he answered questions submitted by fans. Here is a few excerpts.
When working on Star Trek you had lots of toys to make your life easier (being based in the future). What, if you could, would you like to actually have real today?
James McKee, Horley, Surrey
I think having a transporter would beat the heavy traffic here in Los Angeles. I wonder whether it would work in downtown London...
Why was Captain Kirk such an intergalactic stud? What was his secret with women and how can I replicate his success?
Tim Needham, Bath, UK
Unfortunately, you can't replicate his success. You need to have all my equipment.
You're credited as one half of the first inter-racial screen kiss on US TV. Do you think that moment and indeed Star Trek as a series, helped to break taboos and bring down boundaries?
Paul Rickards, London
Yes, I do think Star Trek had influence in that area. It also apparently influenced a lot of people in making serious decisions about their lives.
Your appearance at the 1978 sci-fi awards singing Rocket Man is still pretty infamous and legendary. Are you surprised at its legacy in pop culture and its continued reference today by such people as Beck and in shows such as Family Guy?
Joe H, Donegal, Ireland
I'm flabbergasted at its continuity. The sci-fi award show was just a little show - no broadcasting and very few people.
I was kidding around and yet here we are with continued reference every day
The full Q&A is here.
