Stephen Fry and the Gutenberg Press

A great programme that charts the invention of moveable type and a working medieval press is reconstructed. Well worth a watch if you like old printing. BBC i player keeps programmes up for a week I think so if you want to watch you'll have to be quick. Recommended. Of course I did my composing apprenticeship in the old hot metal days - amazing how long hot metal lasted really. Now we don't even need books.
