'Patrick Stewart on Frasier' - copyright NBC/Paramount PicturesPatrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard) is set to appear on the long-running NBC sitcom Frasier tonight.

Stewart will play Alistair Braithwaite, the head of the Seattle Opera Guild, in the episode, entitled "The Doctor Is Out". After radio psychiatrist Frasier Crane is "outed" on his radio show, Alistair befriends him, inviting Frasier to exclusive events and presenting him with gifts. Caught up in this heady lifestyle, Frasier doesn't realise that Alistair has romantic feelings for him.

These behind-the-scenes images show Stewart rehearsing with Emmy Award-winner Kelsey Grammer on the Frasier set. Grammer is also a Star Trek alumnus, having appeared as Captain Morgan Bateson in The Next Generation's "Cause and Effect".

[With a hearty clap on the chest, Frasier brushes it off with feigned modesty.]
Frasier: "Come on, come and meet my father, Martin Crane."
