Television, transmission and reception of still or moving images by means of electrical signals, especially by means of Electromagnetic Radiation using the techniques of Radio.
One of the most widely used image pickup devices, or camera tubes, is the iconoscope (invented by Vladimir Zworykin, 1923), which consists of a thin sheet of mica upon which thousands of microscopic globules of a photosensitive silver-cesium compound have been deposited.

Critics who object to repetitious traits like the "Something will turn up" tag line would have a hard time with my boss, who always whistles the same three-note trill when confronted with a problem, and, when he's surmounted one, walks around rubbing his hands together so audibly you can hear him down the corridor.
In any case, Micawber is a fixture of the literary empyrean, and Bob Hoskins does a creditable job plastering him into public television's universe, too.
Stiff-necked and seemingly top-heavy in his curling gray sideburns, making frantic use of his eyebrows, Hoskins is in many ways a cartoon-when he topples over backward while pretending to slit his throat (a ploy to escape creditors), he might be back in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
