"Some have suggested that Have I Got News For You has faded in the years since Angus Deayton left, but it&amp;#039;s still capable of pulling out a classic comedy moment every now and again. One such brilliant scene happened on last Friday&amp;#039;s (May 25) show, when guest host William Shatner belted out his wonderful cover of Elton John&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Rocket Man&amp;#039;, as first heard in 1978 and reprised for last year&amp;#039;s Seeking Major Tom LP.  Wonderful stuff, I&amp;#039;m sure you&amp;#039;ll agree. As you can see from their reactions, the panellists on last week&amp;#039;s show were also pretty impressed. Before the show aired, Charlie Brooker told Digital Spy: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s going to be very odd. It&amp;#039;ll be interesting. He&amp;#039;s 81 years old, William Shatner! He is responsible for the best piece of acting I&amp;#039;ve ever seen - he&amp;#039;s in one of the best episodes of The Twilight Zone ever. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s genuinely exciting - that&amp;#039;s proper telly royalty, isn&amp;#039;t it? It&amp;#039;s Captain Kirk, and T.J. Hooker - a name that used to be thrown at me in a sarcastic way when I was at school. &amp;quot;T.J. Brooker... it was a minor insult. But Shatner... there&amp;#039;s a man who&amp;#039;s worked with Adrian Zmed!&amp;quot;  Indeed. Though, we can&amp;#039;t listen to Shatner&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Rocket Man&amp;#039; these days without instantly thinking of Stewie Griffin&amp;#039;s note-for-note, shot-for-shot cover. This split-screen shows just how finely done the Family Guy rendition was.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
