The caption reads, "By George...we've warned Garrowunway to watch out..." Today interrupted its coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation (which involved slightly delayed still pictures and BBC radio audio) with foolery and advertising for tea, featuring Muggs. This was severely criticized in the United Kingdom and by some US television critics, including Jack Gould in The New York Times; in the UK the introduction of commercial television was being debated at the time, and its opponents felt that it strengthened their case.
