First I thought of Mumford & Sons, but then my mind wandered and I went on a search. Allow me to remind you of the shows: "Strange Days at Blake Holsey High" and "Eerie, Indiana", which starred Omri Katz from Hocus Pocus. That's it.

Ok I have to ask. Did anyone else watch Strange Days at Blake Holesy High when they were younger? Because sometimes I feel like I’m the only one that lived through this show 😫 pic.twitter.com/DLCXdPhfdK

I loved that show. And had a huge crush on the kid who was in The Zack Files too. I also remember when Spencer (I think it was him?) became cool-kid-Derek on This Is Life With Derek, and giggling about that makeover. Anyway I still think about Black Hole High fondly.

Also this plus shows like So Weird and Eerie, Indiana are not given as much credit as they deserve.

There was a made for TV film (possibly a series) I saw a decade or so ago (possibly longer). Very "Edge of Darkness" style techno thriller, that ends with an artificial black hole, originally created for clean energy, now taking more and more energy to contain it and the Government desperately trying to cover it up.

I remember one scene where a guy falls against the containment vessel, held there by the black hole's gravity, and is cooked by the microwave radiation being emitted.

I can't remember what it was called! Can't find a mention if it on the net either, I just remember a few fragmentary memories. It's really annoying me.

This is all because I am very much considering getting "Tales From the Loop", the 80's set RPG with old wierd technology in a nearly moribund scientific facility causing all sorts of "Eerie Indiana", "Stranger Days", "Town Called Eureka", "Warehouse 13" oddness to happen to the communities that live near it. It's all based on the beautiful retro futuristic art book by Simon Stálenhag, set in Sweden but with a secondary setting in Nevada. A new supplement, "Tales From the Loop- Our Friends the Machines & Other Mysteries" has a new setting where the Loop is actually under the Norfolk Broads in the UK, so that's a nod to all the UK players.

But I had already been imagining a setting called "Tales From the Line", a earlier prototype Linear Particle Accelerator (a LINAC) called "The Line", 15 miles long and based in deep tunnels in South Wales (where I grew up), superceeded by the Loop in Sweden but then given a new lease of life with two devices created in Sweden and shipped over that allowed it to wrap the particles around the ends of the accelerator and send them straight back down the second "barrel". These "Graviton Reflectors" would of course be microscopic black holes and, now, in the 80s, the facility is concerned almost entirely with keeping them under control and reducing the strange effects they have on the surrounding landscape.

I took my inspiration from the aforementioned TV show, but I can't find out what it was!

Highly frustrating.

Any ideas?

PS- Got it, it was the 1999 "Doomwatch - Winter Angel" (a pilot for a remake of the old 1970s "Doomwatch" TV series, although this was the only one made).
