I've seen the program on PBS TV here in America a good while back. It is

John,
There is a book titled 'Vermeer's Camera' wherein the author Philip Steadman
has offered (via diagrams.. and, having had built the 'sets' with the UK's BBC
research staff for a television program, provided a rather strong argument
that Vermeer actually used a camera obscura as a basis for a large number his paintings.
It is a good read, well written.
