I think you might have misunderstood. BT would have provided an adapter cable with an RJ11 plug on one end and a UK telephone socket on the other, the filter should be inserted between the telephone socket and the phone cord.

It sounds as if you were somehow connecting it on the RJ11 side
Well done and thanks for your advice.
I tried the ADLS between phone wire and socket in wall in bedroom and that bakelite rang it’s bells on incoming call.
So I now have to search my box of things I never throw away in case for two more ADSL filters and place them between phone and wall socket for other two bakelite phones …..

Many many thanks for your reply.
