UK Star Trek Fan Gets TV Gig

Servo · July 21 2011, 08:07 PM

A Star Trek fan from my home town of Manchester has scored himself a gig on the satellite TV station CBS Action as a "Trekologist", presenting Trek trivia before the actual episodes air.
Raules Davies, from Salford in Manchester, was apparently spotted at a sci-fi convention wearing his Trek uniform, and when the producers spoke to him, they felt his charisma and encyclopaedic knowledge of Trek were perfect for the role.

There's a video report here

I have to say, he wears those uniforms well.

What I really want to know is, does he post here?

10 hours of Trek a day? As much as I love Trek I don't think I could do that any more.

You wondering so you can challenge him to a quiz off?

Hell no. I know a hell of a lot of useless Trek trivia, but I doubt I could stand up against someone who watches Trek for 10 hours a day.

Surely he must have come across this site before, though.

I bet 100 quatloos on the newcomer.

You'd think, and if not, why not?

There's an interview with him on the CBS Action website. I'm gonna admit now that I chuckled like a nerd at his answer to the question of where he'd like to visit in the Star Trek universe.

Tweet and ask him if he's on here.

He's been on CBS action during TOS remastered for a month or two...
