22 TV Shows You Didn't Know Were In The Doctor Who Universe
4. Knight Rider & Team Knight Rider - The Legend Of Dr Jackson Roykirk
We'll move on the greater mysteries behind Weyland-Yutani on the next page, but let's first talk about Knight Rider... the show featuring David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight and Kitt, the coolest talking car in television history. How does this 80's action cheese-fest have anything to do with the voyage of the Starship Enterprise? Let's head back to 1970 and the second season of Star Trek. The crew of the USS Enterprise locate a 21st century space probe called NOMAD, created by artificial intelligence pioneer Dr Jackson Roykirk. That very same Dr Jackson Roykirk appeared in failed Knight Rider spin off, Team Knight Rider, the 21st century pioneer behind a fleet of talking cars with their own artificial intelligence. Now all we need is an episode featuring a conversation between Majel Barrett's Enterprise computer and Kitt.
A writer for Whatculture since May 2013, I also write for TheRichest.com and am the TV editor and writer for Thedigitalfix.com . I wrote two plays for the Greater Manchester Horror Fringe in 2013, the first an adaption of Simon Clark's 'Swallowing A Dirty Seed' and my own original sci-fi horror play 'Centurion', which had an 8/10* review from Starburst magazine! (http://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/eventsupcoming-genre-events/6960-event-review-centurion) I also wrote an episode for online comedy series Supermarket Matters in 2012. I aim to achieve my goal for writing for television (and get my novels published) but in the meantime I'll continue to write about those TV shows I love!
