Use the self adhesive variety.

Move the TV and other gubbins in front of all the socketry, or

Move the sockets to behind where the TV and other gubbins are currently located.

Also just to add, it's not a good idea to run signal (telephone) and mains cables so close together.

Inductance issues M? Possibly but its a short distance really. Just run two separate trunks, one just for mains or a single trunk with a central "wall".

OP if you want to go a tad up market from the standard OTS shed stuff have a look at D line.

That's not a bad idea, but cost of new sockets, electric, BT phone line and sky would be rather costly

OTD? Did you mean OTS? Think it means, off the shelf.

D line, did you google it, it's D shaped trunking.

D line is nice neat trunking. Comes in various sizes several different colours with different accessories (angles, tee's etc).
Used it all over the place in my house to stop the kids pulling at all the wires. B & Q stock it but also plenty of stockists online
