Mechanical Marvels, Clockwork Dreams, the history of automata by Prof Simon Schaffer
I saw this programme when it was first shown and it is well worth a look. Some of the mechanical marvels are truly amazing, and a lot of them were made a very long time ago with only very basic equipment.

Just a shame about Simon Schaffer over-interpreting.
What about that automata that writes his name in longhand with a dip pen , absolutely amazing.
