Stephen Fry and the Gutenberg Press
At last! The Machine That Made Us, Stephen Fry's BBC Four documentary about the Gutenberg Press, is now available to view—all six parts are on YouTube: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5 and part 6. Fry investigates the history of the Gutenberg Press, following the drama-laden trail of Johannes Gutenberg, apprenticing in a metal foundry, and even rallying a team of craftsmen to build a working replica of the original press. Even if Fry wasn't one of my favorites, I'd consider this a must-see series!

Dude has a (great) blog too.
This was a really good special on Gutenberg Press, only thing I would like to have seen was a little bit more information about the press and it's many different parts.
