A star in circular orbit around a sufficiently massive black hole will spiral inward under gravitational radiation and other resistive forces until it overflows its Roche lobe. At this point mass will flow through the Lagrange point to form a disk and the stellar orbit is likely to expand. A modulated X-ray signal may be produced. The conditions that would have to be satisfied in order to detect such a signal will be discussed making special reference to recent observations of RE J1034+396. Possible ways to use black hole binaries to test general relativity will also be considered.
