i was luckily enough to be taught about these guys back in the 1980s.. not just Turing, kids today (and the wider populace) lnow nothing about them. It is disgusting how Britain has treated these true heroes... maybe if they were dancers or singers theyd have got an OBE
I absolutely believe that the shear brain power of the people of Bletchley was one of the wonders of the world. Adding the pressure of Britain being in a fight for it's very existence just made it more remarkable. Awesome job.
Love Tommy Flowers' IT course certificate in DBase, Wordperfect, and Excel! Did they have any idea who they had on their course I wonder.
i need the full documentary
thats the point, their are famous in computing circles but anonymous in the public
Informative and rightly so, have never heard of them.
I actually saw a real enigma machine and gave me the shivers. Scary thing looking into its past.
If only this showed up on American TVs, I wouldn't have cut the cable.
Pls help where is the full version of this?
Moby - God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters
Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place
Radical Face - Welcome Home
anybody got the soundtrack for the songs on this documentary??
whats the song?????
@krijnsenh Also Radiohead - Airbag and Eels - Beautiful Freak.
Interesting
Tuttle has a memorial in Newmarket
Tutte
It's the Lorenz.
Holy Shit! why there is a EMO at the machine ?
Here's some of my music being used. BAFTA nominated.
Gary White Do you have a url to this? I love this sound!
***** I own the master rights to this music plus most of the other music in the programme. Written by myself and Mark Evans.
Gary White So, is their a change to listen to it offline? I think that people would be willing to pay for it? Its very nice music!
***** I've only recently taken it down off Bandcamp cos I'm sorting out my back-catalogue of music. Send me an email, and I'll see what I can do :) go to www.musicsynctank.com to get my details
Gary White Email sent :) Thanks again!
Overall, this documentary is good, but one thing that really pissed me off about it was describing Colossus as the "first modern computer." First off, that depends on what you're willing to call a "computer." Second, the "first modern" part is poorly defined at best, and a buzzword at worst. For me, at least, all "modern" computers have to be _at least_ Turing complete, and Colossus was not. ENIAC, on the other hand, was.
But for the sake of argument, let's discard the Turing completeness qualifier. Well, in that case, the Atanasoff-Berry computer still beats it by about a year. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to downplay the accomplishments that it made, or suggest that it wasn't a significant technological advancement. It's just a pet peeve of mine when people fall into this "first modern X" trap.
Also, this isn't something it did outright, but it kind of implied that Alan Turing got too much credit for his work on the Enigma cipher, since the Lorenz cipher was what the Nazi high command used. But Turing's work at Bletchley Park has next to nothing to do with why he's so well known today. Most of his modern popularity comes from his seminal research in the then-emerging fields of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Oh, and a few people know him because he was chemically castrated by the government. But BBC doesn't want to cover things that make the British crown look bad, do they? :P
Your ideas on the BBC are unfortunately decades out of date.
