Here, Gregg.

Here is a type documentary done by BBC. It is from the 80's. It is entitled Typomania!
I'm sure this is exactly what you were looking for (snicker). I don't think the host could be any more dry. The blog where I found it called it "very interesting." I know you can't wait.

I was going the video itsself up, but blogger hates me. It's not giving me the option to do so. I actually even went to the help center to try to figure it out. Boo.

So here the address is, all un-blog savvily.
