Tonight on Sci-Fi UK – Exit Light, Enter Knight

Posted on August 11, 2009 by Paul Nuthall

Don’t miss the latest shadowy flight into the dangerous world of the Knight Rider at 8pm on the Sci-Fi Channel UK!

“Bait and switch — Mike (Justin Bruening) jumps into the thick of a bank heist and tries to stop it, but instead becomes one of the robbers’ hostages. Oddly, the robbers do not seem interested in the bank’s money. Apparently, they have a specific plan that includes the safe deposit boxes and the husband of one of their hostages. Unable to communication with K.I.T.T. (voiced by Val Kilmer) and his team, Mike tries to enlist the help of the other hostages to stop the robbers from escaping. Unfortunately, one of the so-called hostages is one of the robbers, which makes Mike’s job even more difficult.”

Sci-Fi is available as channel 129 on Sky, and channel 135 on Virgin. The show is also available in HD.

Be there!

K.A.R.R.!

It’s the one that we’ve all been waiting for… Knight To King’s Pawn!

“Time to fight back — Sarah is not coping well with her father’s death and decides to leave town. Concerned, Mike goes looking for her and in return gets the answers he has been searching for about his past. Meanwhile, the NSA has decided to dismantle the SSC now that Dr. Graiman is dead and they can then move forward with K.I.T.T.’s nemesis K.A.R.R. With Torres’ permission they take out K.I.T.T.’s chip that contains his personality and memories and place it in K.A.R.R. Upset by what has happened, Mike, Sarah, Billy and Zoe devise a plan to find where K.I.T.T. has been taken and get him up and running and destroy the evil K.A.R.R. once and for all.”
