    Who Knew Start Trek could be this funny?

    This is one of the few Men Behaving Badly episodes to truly deserve full marks. Possibly one of the funniest half hours of television ever made! The simplicity of the plot is it's genius. And who knew imitating Star Trek sound effects could be so funny?

    I've often wondered if this particular episode was made on a whim...sort of a joke just to see if they could get away with with filming an entire episode with one camera on the sofa. Not that it matters, because it worked. Of particular note is the scene where Martin Clunes and Caroline Quentin are trying to remember the theme song to a long-forgotten television show...priceless.
