Radial Circuit using box installation method...

I am curious if anyone has ever done this, and if not any reason?  Is it acceptable? 


So, the scenario is that you install a radial circuit for lighting or sockets for that matter (could apply to either in this instance), and the image I've attached as the example probably isn't the best, but it was the clearest image I could find. 


The example is as follows - you have a circuit coming from the CU on a 16amp radial, rather than just go from one to the other repeatedly could you not use a junction box installation method. As long as the box was accessible.  I know the image shows lighting etc, but I was not thinking of it like that in this instance, it would be either just lighting or just sockets.

    Nothing concerned me about the arrangement, just more intrigued about others opinions. 


    Now that I have viewed your whole installation video I realise that the installation may not have been done with B.S.7671 in mind, as the installer is not from around these parts.

    That video has nothing to do with what I was asking about, that's some guy installing circuits in Germany for himself in a new workshop.  It was simply because I was able to grab an image from the junction box I was referring to that I used it. 


    I was more interested if you could run a radial circuit in the way the other image I uploaded (ignoring the lighting) again couldn't find an image with just sockets.
