After an unexpected fireworks display in the studio this evening I dismantled the plug on the 6-way extension power cord.
The neutral (blue) wire was charred and melted almost through to the earth (yellow/green) wire.
No high-current loads attached so I’m guessing a loose screw on the neutral pin 🤔😳

This is one of the few ways that the UK standard power plug can fail.
