There's a really interesting BBC documentary series hosted by John Cleese (and featuring Elizabeth Hurley). In particular, one of the issues it covers is the face-blindness mentioned by Yakk.
Here is a link to the imdb page:

And here is the description I borrowed from Netflix (it's more detailed than the imdb description):

A year in the making, this unique miniseries has been hailed as the definitive guide to the human face. Combining comedy sketches with serious interviews, this innovative exploration of the human face is conveyed in simple -- yet interesting -- terms. These four episodes examine the face from every angle - cultural, historical, biological, physiological and psychological - in John Cleese's light but insightful manner.
