Jon Culshaw:
I always loved Les Dawson. He and Roy Barraclough would you know do Sissy and Ada? And just to put Jordan and Jodie Marsh into that environment just seemed so sort of natural I am just glad nobody even thought of it before we managed to get it on.
This was that sort of, you know, 'Jodie you are looking very smashing today'.
'When I was in the jungle I saw Jenny Bond’s leg plastic, baker light down to the ankle with a Tupperware foot'.
I got lost... :(

I\'m just guessing, but it may just be a description of her suntan as seen by the author while taking part in \"I\'m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!\"
Bayko, a type of model house building kit for children (of all ages), was, of course, a bit brighter than the stuff used for electrical fittings.

Looks like the invention date is more accurately 1907.
Also can be translucent:
Bakelite is the trade name for plastics produced by Bakelite Ltd. in England and Bakelite Corp. in America. It still refers to these materials but is frequently used as a generic name for phenol formaldehyde (Phenolic). Phenolic is usually reinforced with a filler ( filler = inert material added to a polymer to improve its properties. Usually in powder or fibre from such as wood, pulp, cotton flock and talc ) but cast phenolic has no filler and can be translucent. It can be easily coloured and was used decoratively for jewellery, radio cabinets and all kinds of ornaments.

Most usually “remembered” as brown, however, I would think (as here if my suntan theory is correct):
... And finally should the seat be painted green with black padding as per instructions or that reddish brown bakelite colour?

as some have been exposed to the sun and the Bakelite will have turned a brown colour with the filler exposed

The first Tupperware I saw was all a whitish translucent colour.

Bakelite
Hi there
This must be "Bakelite", a forerunner of modern plastics that was used widely in the 1950s. I guess the speaker is describing an artificial limb, which I presume would not be made of Bakelite or Tupperware (food containers) plastic so I guess the implication is that the prosthesis is kind of tacky.
Cheers
Derek

Not for kudoz, but just an additional thought. to previous answers..
It's definitely "Bakelite" - in the UK in the 1950s when I was growing up, household items such as radios and telephones etc. were made of Bakelite - a very chunky, heavy plastic.
The other things that occur to me are a) that Jenni Bond was until recently the BBC's "Royal Correspondent", then she gave that role and took part in the programme referred to in the question, "I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here", where various "personalities" were put in a jungle camp and gradually voted off by the viewers (a sort of Big Brother situation), and b)in a recent TV documentary on the Royal Family, the Queen's breakfast cereals were shown laid out on the table in Tupperware containers, and this caused a good deal of comment in the UK media!
So, knowing Jon Culshaw's rather surreal stream-of-consciousness humour, he may well be making the connection Jenny Bond-Royal family-old-fashioned (Bakelite)-Tupperware container-vaguely foor shaperd!

\"vaguely foot-shaped\" I mean!
