Star Terk II is a BBC comedy radio show.

"The sketch show with a hint of a Starship and where words with a 'k' are mispronounced".[3]

It was first broadcast on Saturday 14 November 1987 at 11:30pm[4] on BBC Radio 4[1] until 11 March 1989 and rebroadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra in 2025[3].[5]

Each episode[6] began with a parody of Star Trek's original series, which would go on to be interrupted by a series of sketches.[7] Two series of six episodes were aired, in 1987 and 1989.[1] In the final episode, the main characters of Star Trek beam down and meet up with the actors playing them in the parody, resulting in Susie Blake interviewing herself as Uhura at one point.[citation needed]
