Hi all,
I wasn't going to send out an email about this, but I thought the 2nd episode was just
as good as the first one, so here I am :)
In short, the programme (airing BBC2, UK, around 8:15pm Saturdays) The Virtual Revolution
looks at the history of the internet (US Military, ARPAnet, The Well etc.) and it's
influence on modern life (hackers, terrorists, social networking etc.).
The official site can be found here:

Video's of some of the interviewees (including Tim Berners-Lee and Peter Thiel) can be
found here:

A whole host of computers have been seen (for a few seconds) on the programme, including
an Altair 8080 and a PDP-10.
Some short clips of the programme can be found on YouTube. All of episode 2 can be found
on BBC IPlayer here (for the next 7 days only):

The whole show is 654MB (about 55 minutes long), if you wish to download it.
