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):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00qsbvv/The_Virtual_Revolution_Enemy_…
The whole show is 654MB (about 55 minutes long), if you wish to download
it.
