On the Disney channel, around 1995 or so, there was an Austrailian sci-fi show. In this show, a camper pitches a tent by some electrical substation. A bolt of current shot out by the station sends him into an alternate reality. In this reality, the peasants are fighting some elite that has technology. Members of the elite wear suits that allow them to shoot energy blasts when they touch their wrists together. I remember an episode where the main character brings a peasant girl to his native Sydney. Sound familiar to anyone?
