The first actual working television, demonstrated by Scottish inventor John Baird in the mid-1920s, used Nipkow’s mechanical disk idea to show dim, fuzzy images of a ventriloquist dummy named Stookie Bill.

It features Logie Baird's famous ventriloquist dummy Stookie Bill, which he used when developing his invention.

I think anyone who's had the experience of trying to put a knitting needle down the cast to get to an itch will realise that a stookie is extremely unpleasant.

And you says, 'Did it miss its stupid old Stookie?'
