Knight Rider on BBC TWO's "I Love 1983" . . .
Here's something I encoded almost three years ago, when Knight Rider was featured on
the 1983 episode of BBC TWO's "I Love The 1980's" documentary series. I've encoded
both the opening sequence and the main section featuring KR, as seperate videoclips.
The opening title even features an animated version of KITT. As for the choice of the
presenter of the program, a puppet known as Roland Rat . . . errr, don't ask . . . !
The filesize of the opening clip is about 5.6MB, while the main clip is just over 31MB.
To download the videoclips, right click, and choose the "Save Link As . . . " option.

In the London area (Thames TV), Knight Rider premiered on Thursday, February 17, 1983. The first season followed, with several episodes skipped and broadcast between the second and third seasons.

K.I.T.T. The Cat
Ring of Fire

It's interesting to note that as a result of ITV's different running order, we got "Big Iron" before it's first broadcast on NBC: it was shown on Thames on Thursday, February 9, 1984 -- a full three months before it debuted in the States.

One other thing about ITV's way of airing KR . . . they always cut the teaser. As soon as the announcer
had finished speaking (or about a second before) it would fade straight into the opening title sequence.
As for the download problems, the web space provider Spymac.net, seem to be very, very slow
indeed lately. Unfortunately, there is nowhere else available, for me to host such large files.
