Summary 
From the book jacket
Star Trek and its successors The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine constitute the most popular television science fiction series still in production.This book analyses the more recent aspects of the Star Trek phenomenon: it covers all the episodes of The Next Generation and the two seasons so far produced of Deep Space Nine.

Along with masses of factual information - plot synopses, cast and crew, and, uniquely, British transmission dates - this Programme Guide casts a gently critical eye over the series' continuity (and lack of it) and lingers over the moments of humour (intentional and otherwise).In sum, this is a lighthearted, detailed and affectionate overview of the modern offspring of the 1960s Star Trek.
