Program on Turing

Not bad although the inevitable dramatisation did annoy.

Hope Flowers got a mention, because arguably his creation was the first 'proper' electronic computer. Also, it seems a remarkably 'fortunate' that he ended up at Bletchely, because apparently he was the only person in the world at the time that could have done what he did, allegedly. I mention this because Turin is usually regarded as the father (or mother) of computing.

Talking about over dramatisation, "Bronson" was repeated again yesterday. Couldn't watch it. Way too much carp.

I went to Bletchley park last Sunday - kids loved it. But I was not aware there was a program on - could someone tell me which channel it was on? Is it possiblefor the kids to watch it online?

No doubt available on line by now.

It's a drama documentary, by the way.

Many thanks - looks like its available online.

was only half watching it but it seemed more obsessed about his sexuality than his achievements.

I've always thought the only reason he topped himself was a realisation that his creative powers were on the wane (on account of age alone, which is notoriously the case with most mathematicians, but accentuated by the hormone treatment).

Being the unconventional guy he was, he wouldn't have given two hoots about the gay disgrace aspect and probably not much more about any surveillance, real or imagined.
