Hi is there such a thing as a flat 4 way adapter that plugs into the wall socket to power all my TV and video equipment? Something like a 4 way extension lead but without the lead and plugs straight into the socket?
Thanks Ron

Take the old socket off and replace with this.

Will I need to replace the double box as well? Thanks Ron

Nope,you just screw it on as you would the normal 2 gang socket.

I've seen them at Homebase, ISTR they needed a double socket.
Or a single if you read the bumpf.

the adaptor into any standard socket to have 4 sockets instantly. With no trailing wires it's safe and easy to install, all you need do is simply plug it in. Each socket has its own on/off switch so you're in control at all times. It's fitted with a built-in safety fuse to avoid overloading and is suitable for all UK 13amp 3-pin sockets. Includes surge protector.
The device seems to be a plug with a extended four gang switched socket assembly suspended from the plug. {I've been meaning to purchase one for the use you've described ... plus Christmas-tree lights.
HTH
I'd worry about the mechanical strain on the socket.
