    It's really annoying that this isn't available outside the UK.

    So I thought I know about proxy servers so I found a UK proxy and pressed play.

    Only to find it is in fact the same content as the podcast (which is available to download globally), but with pictures.

    I can only imagine the right to watching Simon and Mark are limited to the UK only because the clip of the movie played isn't even a clip, but stills from a previous trailer. Hmmm.

    Otherwise, well done on the award.

    Leonard Nimoy!

    I've been watching the Star Trek films since i was very young. This movie doesn't come close to the creature goin into Chekov's ear scene from Star Trek 2 The Wrath Of Khan! I remember being so scared after watching it.

    Years ago that movie was rated 15 and now its a 12. Times have changed!

    With the amount of Humour/action in the new Star Trek movie i think kids will love it. Just don't let them see The Wrath Of Khan it may give them nightmares!

    I think you have way over rated the new Trek film. It is ok but extremely dumb and has some awful charactorisation. Simon Pegg is terribly over the top as Scotty and Chekov's accent is just offensive. The engine room of the Enterprise looks like a brewery. The film had to much techno babble and the plot has more obvious holes than a a sponge. The film isn't terrible but doesn't rate up there with The Wrath of Khan.
