Description

London’s Star Trek-themed bar, Page’s has had a complete re-fit. The bar, deep in the heart of Westminster, is a regular haunt for devotees of the hit TV show which celebrates its thirtieth birthday this year. News 97.3’s Paul Chapman went to take a look. Interviews with Manager Bob Benton; nurse Sarah Waters, who helps out during big events, admits she’s hooked on the sci-fi series, and speaks a few words of Klingon. Benton challenges the image of the typical Trekker (NOT Trekkie) as mad and/or sad.
