The BBC Radio programme "In Our Time" recently aired an episode about the invention of photography. It dealt mainly with the daguerrotype and talbottype, not so much with later innovations. An interesting listen.

the invention of photography makes for a fascinating story and I'm surprised no film maker has picked it up yet

This is a very good point and is probably due to the fact that no current film maker is capable of telling this incredible story. How can you express what Fox Talbot must have felt on seeing those first images appear?
