The inventor of the television would not let his own children watch TV. He once said to his son “There’s nothing on it worthwhile, and we’re not going to watch it in this household, and I don’t want it in your intellectual diet.” – Philo T Farnsworth.

Size matters when it comes to TV, and some manufacturers have gone wild over the years, making colossal displays. Panasonic made a monster 152-inch display back in 2012, which cost an eye-watering £600,000.

The first television commercial — for Bulova watches — was broadcast on July 1, 1941 in New York before a baseball game between Philadelphia and Brooklyn. The company paid $9 for the 10 second ad.

The first TV remote control came from Zenith in 1950. It was connected to the TV set by a wire (the wireless remote followed in 1955).

The first national TV broadcast in color was the 1954 Tournament of Roses Parade but most programming was black-and-white until 1965. Sales of color TVs surpassed black-and-white sets for the first time in 1972.

The first successful daytime drama on television was Search for Tomorrow, which debuted in 1951 and ran until 1986. The series was sponsored by Procter & Gamble — hence the term “soap operas.”
