Who invented the first TV?
The first ever TV set was invented by Scottish inventor John Logie Baird, and debuted in the mid 1920s.
It was a mechanical TV, and nothing like the ones we know today.
It was made of an old hat box, a tea chest, old bike light lenses, needles, scissors, glue and ceiling wax.
It was called a televiser, and created moving images on a screen via a rotating mechanism, at five pictures per second.
