Star Trek's Captain Kirk has tipped Outlander star Sam Heughan to become the next James Bond.

William Shatner has suggested that the Dumfriesshire-born actor should be the second Scot to play the spy after Sean Connery.

Sam Heughan, 36, respondeed on Twitter suggesting the legendary Enterprise Captain could play one of Bonad’s most famous baddies.

Shatner, 85, tweeted: “007, have I got a guy for you. Tall, good-looking, talented; no, not me. Sam Heughan is your next Bond. Look no further.”
