To quote William Shatner: "Get a life, will ya?"

> A Star Trek fan has gone bankrupt after spending £12,000 turning his home into the Starship Voyager.

> Tony Alleyne's flat in Hinckley, Leics, has moulded walls, touch-panel blue lighting and a life-size model of the show's transporter room. . .

> He hoped his pad would tempt other Trekkies to pay him to convert their homes too.

> He took out two huge loans and ran up debts of over £100,000 on 14 credit cards marketing his idea and paying for the merchandise and has filed for bankruptcy.

> Tony, who split from his wife Georgina after he replaced their fridge with a "warp coil" said: "I was convinced Trekkies all over the world would want a house like mine and pay me to do it.

> "But I was wrong and just overstretched. . . .".
