Steven, Benjamin, and Sean “make it so” and engage at warp 9.8 into Star Trek: The Next Generation. A new crew, a new ship, and much love all round as all three of us are massive fans of this particular series!

We talk about the show’s rocky first steps, the gradual sharpening of its identity, and the characters who made the Enterprise-D feel like a top-heavy home. From the French Captain Jean-Luc Picard – played by possibly the most ‘English’ actor imaginable, Patrick Stewart – to Data’s curiosity, from Q’s chaos to Worf’s honour, we explore how the show evolved into a true TV landmark. Join as as we talk season’s 1 to 4.
