If I remember correctly, it discusses the structural weaknesses of several cathedrals (including Beauvais).
I would also recommend "Britain's Great Cathedrals with Tony Robinson".

And anyone into church architecture should also watch "Churches: How to Read them", which I believe is on youtube.

Also PBS released "Building the great cathedrals"

Too bad I wasn't able to find the english version of the OPs link in German. Looks good.
