Around seventeen years ago I remember watching a Children’s BBC show called ‘Dark Season‘ which revolved around the investigation of a young schoolgirl’s into her school’s strange benefactor. Bleached blonde and mysterious, the man who I now know is called Mr Eldritch turns up one day and begins to distribute computers to all of the pupils, apparently out of the goodness of his heart.
It was a short two series show, each series comprising only three episodes yet I still remember it quite well. It seems my subconscious does as well, as I just discovered after all these years that the show was written by Russell T. Davies and starred a very young Kate Winslet.
It really is a small world.

I’m not sure if it’s related but your description made me thing of “The Demon Headmaster” kids TV series.
Don’t know if you remember that?

I remember the Demon Headmaster, I read the books at the same time.
Russ just texted me to tell me I’m something of a genius for remembering Dark Season, apparently. I think that puts me above Einstein…
