If you haven’t watched The Professor and the Madman I’d highly recommend it, it’s about the fascinating story of the OED origins.
Thanks Karam. I actually have the book (alternate title being The Surgeon of Crowthorne) by Simon Winchester upon which the film was made. If I ever saw the film was on TV then I would certainly watch it.

In fact my interest in the OED has got me several books about the story of its founding & of its history, all of them fascinating reads.

Regards,

Jay.
