Are our electrics dangerous?!

Posted this elsewhere and got some good advice but was told there were some electricians round these parts who might be able to help me!:beer:
I'm really worried! Today, I kept getting electric shocks off our DVD player, just on the casing, and the same with the Sky box and it seems to be coming from the Scart lead from the telly. We've tried two different Scarts, two different tellys and always the same thing - you can feel an electric current running through the boxes.
I'm worried now because recently, two plug sockets in the kitchen have gone bang while I've been plugging something in and tripped the switch and also one of the cooker knobs has gone bang too.
Does it sound like a problem with our electrics?
I'm so worried! Please help! :eek: :eek:

I don't think there is any better advice than...call an electrician!
