This excellent documentary aired on BBC Four on Monday, and I missed it, but it’s on the BBC’s iPlayer (unless you’re British, or know how to use a proxy, you won’t be able to watch it).
In this revealing documentary, Stephen Fry investigates the story of one of the most important machines ever invented - the Gutenberg Press.
Stephen Fry is one of my favourite people in the world, and I don’t think this would have been half as interesting without him presenting it.
Fry investigates the story behind Johann Gutenberg, travelling across Europe, and then builds a copy of the Gutenberg Press. Excellent and fascinating viewing.
