On 2 October, in Soho, John Logie Baird 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. The experiment proved successful, as Stooky Bill's image was displayed as the first television picture, much to Baird's excitement. However, the Toymaker interfered in the process, putting the Giggle into the recording. This would become active in a global event also known as the Giggle in 2023.
