Kenny Everett definitely did a f*rt catcher sketch. Others may have done so too. Kenny's exploded the nasty niffs.

I do now remember the plastic lampshades Woolworths used to sell. Dad bought one for the wall light he put up over my bed, powered via a double BC adaptor with pull switch of course. At that time, 60W was the biggest lamp you could use, as 100W bulbs were much bigger, about the size of a 1980's 150W bulb. We never had to buy any bulbs for our room lights as we had a pre-nationalisation maintenance contract that included free bulb replacement, but the bulbs for table lamps always came from Woolworths.
