MEET THE NEW SCIENCE FICTION STAR, MR SPOCK<br />
<br />
DR WHO, about to he launched into television limbo for a while, will be replaced by Mr Spock.<br />
<br />
He is 'half human and half Vulcanian'—and has the 'largest and most pointed cats in space.'<br />
<br />
He also has some of the most gorgeous guest stars, like Jill Ireland.<br />
<br />
To add to these formidable qualifications his series, Star Trek, has been hailed as the best science fiction series produced for television.<br />
<br />
Decision<br />
<br />
It is quite a Saturday night catch for BBC 1, which is giving the eight-year-old Dr Who series a rest later this month, while deciding whether to bring it back in colour, with a new cast, next year.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Star Trek starts on July 12 and the BBC has enough episodes to last the year.<br />
<br />
The action is aboard a deep-space cruiser 100 year, from now, in which 430 men and women journey in new worlds on the edge of the universe.<br />
<br />
The stars are Leonard Nimoy, as the ship's second officer, Mr Spock, who has already started a cult in America; William Shatner as the cruiser's Captain James Kirk: De Fores Kelley at medico Dr Leonard McCoy ; ex-jazz vocalist Nichelle Nichols as communications officer, and Grace Lee Whitney as Captain Kirk's wife.<br />
<br />
Future<br />
<br />
The series it screened in 50-minute episodes, with self-contained stories.<br />
<br />
And what of Dr. Who and company ?<br />
<br />
Patrick Troughton, Wendy Padbury and Frazer Hines, who play Dr Who and his companion, Zoe and Jamie, are all going to new acting jobs.<br />
