KnIGht rIDer: the coMPLete coLLectIon

Fabulous Films, £99.99 (Blu-ray)

Today self-parking, sat-navving cars that talk are pretty standard, but there’s one piece of tech that modern motors have not yet attained: the Turbo Boost. Oh, and Ski Mode. Actually there’s a whole bunch of things supercar KITT can do which modern cars still can’t – like analyse chemicals or jam the controls of a baddie’s helicopter, which makes this delightful 1980s series still feel fun and fresh. David Hasselhoff and William Daniels are perfectly cast as, respectively, the long-legged crusader against crime and the stuffy, neurotic car. All four seasons are here, sparkling on Blu-ray, so you get everything: KARR, the evil version of KITT; Goliath, the evil truck version of KITT; and GARTH KNIGHT the evil version of Michael Knight. Watch out for the bizarre Hallowe’en episode from Season 3, in which bouncyhaired KITT mechanic Bonnie is haunted by paranormal activity after seeing a woman strangled by a man in a gorilla suit. This is TV nostalgia of the highest order. PL 8/10
