When you see these "mountains", does the picture distort--does it look like it's "scrunching" up from the bottom?  Two things come to mind re causes:
 
 1) The TV's degaussing coil is stuck on;  this would cause _color_
distortion, though.
 2) An open capacitor in the power supply is causing a _very_ bad case of hum.
 
These are generalities:  I've never had the pleasure of working on sets in the UK <grin>.
 
Best,
