   Hi There,
   What's going - the main breaker or the breaker on a certain ring?
   If it's on a ring, do you have a RCD on it?
   You need to play around and see what's tripping it; my first thought would be the tumble drier as the lights would normally take it out instantly on an earth fault, the TV is commonly run as a double insulated (i.e. no earth) device but the tumble drier - woo-hoo MASSIVE amount of power in comparison plus if the stats have gone it would be able to cook itself and draw even more current... The only thing you can do is experiment with different combinations until you find the culprit - sorry... So back to the start, is it a sub-circuit breaker, the main breaker or an RCD?
