William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy appear together infrequently and it was good to see them in this TV Special.Between them they re-tell for the screen most of the anecdotes that have appeared in books and magazines elsewhere. There are plenty of clips (which most Trekkers could recite word-for-word) and a couple of shots from the Blooper Reels.The really ODD thing about this programme is the introduction.A brief "history" of mankinds journey into space is given as a pre-amble to the outer space adventures of the Enterprise. But, at no point do they mention the Russian contribution - no Sputnik (first orbiting object) and no Yuri Gagarin (first man in space).Given that the original series depicted a multi-racial, multi-cultural Earth, I find it extraordinary that a programme celebrating Star Trek could have omitted MANKIND's contribution to getting into space.The big question is...was it a deliberate?
