abstract={As Britain's electricity system operator, it's our job to match the country's electricity supply and demand second-by-second, forecasting the power that will be required based on factors like the weather and consumer behaviour.  So what happens when a nation collectively sits down to watch a TV programme? You've probably heard of the phenomenon --- major events that draw large TV audiences (like sports fixtures, popular shows and royal weddings) often produce a surge in electricity demand during natural breaks as people make a cup of tea, open the fridge and flush the loo at the same time.},
