Catalogue Note
On 28 May 1965, the day before this cartoon was published, the House of Commons met to discuss the possibility of televising parliamentary proceedings. In Papas’s cartoon, five senior members of the Conservative Party, Alec Douglas-Home, Iain MacLeod, Reginald Maudling, Quintin Hogg and Selwyn Lloyd, prepare themselves for the prospect of regular appearances on television.
