John Logie Baird was the inventor of the television.
Biography
In 1925, he conducted an experiment, with the assistance of Charles Banerjee, to create the first television. He used a doll, Stooky Bill, as a test subject to prove that his invention works. Baird explained that the doll was required as a human would be unable to withstand the temperature created by the surrounding lights. The experiment proved successful, as Stooky Bill's image was displayed as the first television picture, much to Baird's excitement. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
In 1942, he showed Winston Churchill a broadcast which showed a double of him. He had managed to hack into the alternate dimension of the Utopia Mirror. (AUDIO: I Was Churchill's Double)
Behind the scenes
