Colossus built by 'Tommy' Kilburn?

Martin Postranecky was kind enough to circulate yesterday a series of links to BBC news items relevant to BP.  

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7094881.stm

asserts: "Colossus has a place in the history of computing not
just because of the techniques used in its construction. Many of those
that helped build it, in particular Tommy Flowers and Tommy Kilburn,
went on to do work that directly led to the computers in use today." 

I was amazed to discover that Tommy (sic) Kilburn was one of the people who helped build the Colossus!  

I have written to the BBC asking them to correct their story - perhaps others might care to do likewise.
