I am (well, used to be) a huge telly watcher (especially of crap sci-fi) 
:-) but as a UK resident a few years older than JKR, I had never heard of 
the show until it was shown on some cable channel or other in the mid 90s 
(and became a fan for a while, until it got very, very silly). JKR doesn't 
strike me as a telly fan, and as the period in question was her financially 
"lean" time, I find it doubly unlikely that she had access to late-night 
cable TV (as I recall, it was shown at some ridiculous hour like 2.30am).

The chances that JKR knows anything about the show are extremely slim.
