I’m pretty sure this is his tribute to that slightly more obscure classic, Prayer of the Roller Boys.

In 1989 this one ambushed normal programming in the UK.

I’m leaning toward 50% Blade Runner and 50% Solarbabies.

Yeah, that was, admittedly, the more likely candidate, but did not allow the riff/puns on Roller/Runner and Blade. :wink:
