Just four short days after appearing in the General Motors Theatre episode “Never Say No,” Shatner appeared on yet another CBC anthology program called On Camera, in the episode “Man in 308.” However, unlike some of the other anthology programs that Shatner would appear on over the years he was in Toronto, On Camera had one distinguishing feature…and one other singular distinction in the life of Le Shat.
The distinguishing feature of the series was that every episode of On Camera was either written or adapted by a Canadian writer. The singular (and quite momentous) distinction in Shatner’s life that came about because of On Camera was…well, that would come a year later. I’ll write more about that in a future post. Do you feel that? It’s me…teasing you. You know you love it.
Anyway, once again I have no idea what this episode was about, nor do I have any pictures related to the production. Please allow the picture above of a young (and of course shirtless) teenage Shatner distract you from the relative emptiness of this post and of the world in general.

It’s time to detail all of the connections between On Camera’s “Man in 308” and other Shatner appearances!
Andrew Anthony may have appeared with Shatner earlier on an episode (or more) of CBC’s Space Command. He would definitely appear with Shatner (for the final time) in a couple of months for the General Motors Theatre presentation of “Billy Budd.”
This was the last time Cec Linder would appear with Shatner. Just a few months earlier, they had both been in “The Big Leap.”
