Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
Baywatch and Knight Rider legend David Hasselhoff is back on British screens in Meet the Hasselhoffs. It’s the follow up to The Hoff: When Scott Came To Stay and features the 57-year-old actor visiting the UK with his two daughters and personal assistant. He drops in to Radio 1 to see Scott Mills, meets his mum, gets to play polo and bumps into some Pearly Kings and Queens in a London pub.
How did Meet the Hasselhoffs come about?
I came over here to originally do a sequel to The Hoff: When Scott Came to Stay, which was basically a story of a DJ (Scott Mills) who came to live with a guy he saw on television, and for me to share my life with him, to see what it’s like in Los Angeles and the fact that it’s crazy and fun.
But behind closed doors I’m just a dad and a real person. We hit it off, so decided to do a sequel, something that nobody’s ever done and take a motor home across Britain. We called it the Hoff road trip.
Several events are happening this weekend, so here is a rundown of all the activities.

The London Evening Standard’s Sylvia Mulder interviewed David recently and posted this interesting Q & A with him.
Where do you stay in London?
When I’m working, I like Covent Garden, because it’s near the theatres. If I want to hang out and shop, I like to be in Soho. My favourite boutique hotel is Blakes in Kensington. But don’t try to find me, I use several different names to disguise my presence.
What was the last show you saw in London?
I saw Chicago when Jerry Springer was in it and I also loved Priscilla Queen of the Desert. I would love to be in that show, it’s so campy and fun. Jude Law was amazing in Hamlet.
Does this mean that we could see a video of “Meet the Hasselhoffs” in our local Target stores?
Target Entertainment Group has picked up the distribution rights to Meet the Hasselhoffs, the series of ob doc specials that launched this week on Living.
Target director of sales and programming Jane Dockery said she expected the programmes would prove “really popular internationally.”
The 6 x 60-minute specials, commissioned by the Virgin Media-owned broadcaster, follow Knight Rider and Baywatch star David Hasselhoff as he immerses himself in British culture during a summer in the UK.
It follows a one-off earlier this year, The Hoff: When Scott Came to Stay. The new specials, produced by Summer Films, follows the actor and his two daughters as they go in search of the Loch Newss Monster, play polo and inspire lifeguards on the Devon coast.
The specials launched on Living on 14 September in a 10pm slot.
In this week’s We Love Telly, free with The Daily Mirror on Saturday, Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills told us what it was like having Baywatch star and living legend David Hasselhoff staying with him in Britain.
You can see what they got up to during The Hoff’s trip to Britain in Meet The Hasselhoffs (Mon, 10pm, Living TV), and in the meantime here’s more from our exclusive interview with Scott…
