I didn't think typing that code into IMDb would come up with "Penny Blacks and Twopenny Blues: How Britain Got Stuck on Stamps" but it did!
That IMDB page also references a short film called "The King's Stamp" documenting the creation of the Silver Jubilee stamps, and an episode of The Avengers called "The Mauritius Penny"...... hmmmm Pussy Galore working undercover as a stamp dealer? I'd watch that!
Gasp!
Pussy Galore under covers?
Count me in!!
I found the "Penny Black" video on Youtube this evening, and enjoyed it quite a bit as well!

I also found the short "The Kings Stamp", (parts of which appear in "Penny Black"), the acting is kind of hard to watch, but the printing sequences are interesting.

I watched this last night. It's rather good if you can find it.
