Dunking the TV in the bath

Disclaimer !!
This is an electrical experiment and is for entertainment purposes only.
As mains voltages are involved it should not be attempted without appropiate PPE and electrical knowledge in place.
An old TV was dunked in a bath tub with water. The TV stopped working almost immediately. Although some signs of live can be briefly seen when in the water.
At 3:00 The CRT flashed briefly
At 4:40 Out of the water, something popped and current surged briefly to 40 Amps.
A check meter type Ferranti FM C=375 rev/kWh was connected to measure the consumption. Ammeter to measure the load. ( settled at about 8 Ampères )
