I didn't see this in the days it was broadcast. Kenny didn't look comfortable doing this type of show. Nice to see he had a close friend as co host. :)
The collection of over 500 lamps was the work of Bill Carlton, a lighting engineer from Woodhouse Park in Manchester who spent over 30 years working for Philips Electrical. During this time he worked on lighting projects for Salisbury Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and Bath Abbey as well as making an appearance on the 1988 TV show Brainstorm to explain the development of lighting. Many of the light bulbs amassed by Mr Carlton were displayed during his career at the Science Museum and the Institute of Engineering and Technology. Ian Williams Didsbury
Thank you very much for the upload! I can remember seeing this when I was seven, and being a bit disturbed by what happened to the losing contestants. I must have seen this episode, as I can remember the answer to the helium question!
I had this show (not this episode maybe) etched in my brain. I was 11 when this came out and what happened to the losers caused me to switch off the TV and never watch the show again as I found it frightening. Now, at 41, it's actually still pretty scary and Everett is loving his role of the eccentric scientist. It took me a while to find this again and one watch reminded me why I didn't like it.
I appeared and failed miserably in this episode. Thanks for posting. I will try and upload a picture of the trophy I got and still have.
And i guess you survived the scrungeatron
Looks like it was fun!

Interesting that it took until the mid 2000s to finally see CFL lamps in use, when there was one here in 1988!
