Star Trek Revealed to be a TV Show and Not Real Life!
The team responsible for the classic sci-fi first series aired during the 1970's has admitted to loyal fans known as 'Trekkies' that the show was in fact not real and was filmed in a studio. An inside source from the production company said in a statement 'Dear fans, we are so very sorry, but we need to let you know that Star Trek was never real, it was made up from stories written by someone with an imagination and filmed in front of TV cameras. This was not a conspiracy, only an attempt to entertain you all"
William Shatner, otherwise known as Captain James T Kirk or 'The Shat' was the iconic actor throughout it's first series. who played the main man of the USS Enterprise, often synonymous with ham style overacting and dreadful singing, was unavailable for comment, however our source added "We couldn't really understand at the time that it was never questioned why on every planet the landing crew visited, they didn't choke to death as there was always the perfect mixture air for them to breathe, when any dough brain would know that to be the case and also that all of the alien beings spoke English with an American accent" He also said that he hopes fans would be able to forgive them for not releasing this information until now.
Most of the main cast of the show have now sadly passed on and have kept quiet for all these years about the truth around the show. The makers of Star Trek Paramount were also unavailable for comment. More recent spin off series of the iconic programme have widely been suspected to be not real, however for followers of the original series, this news has been quite a shock. The international fan club Starfleet have not yet issued an official statement.
