DaveH Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 What was the name of the famous Yorkshire inventor who had three TV's on at the same time? If he did this between 1964 and 1982 he would be able to watch ALL the available broadcast television at the same time!

Bayleaf Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 What was the name of the famous Yorkshire inventor who had three TV's on at the same time? I think it was the 'cat's eyes' man, but I'm blowed if I can remember his name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV) "His only real decorations were the three television sets that were kept permanently switched on. One was tuned to BBC1, the second to BBC2 and the third to ITV. A fourth set was kept in reserve" I think it was the 'cat's eyes' man, but I'm blowed if I can remember his name! Yes that's him Percy Shaw, I remember seeing him on Whicker's World many years ago.
