For those of you who may have missed the BBC-2 TV "Code-breakers" last
night ( Tuesday 25th October ), it is going to be repeated on Saturday
29th October in UK.

It is also available on BBC website for the NEXT 10 DAYS only.

I though it was mostly very good, especially the visit by Captain Jerry 
Roberts to B.P.

Code-Breakers : Bletchley Park's Lost Heroes
--------------------------------------------

Documentary that reveals the secret story behind one of the greatest 
intellectual feats of World War II, a feat that gave birth to the digital 
age.

In 1943, a 24-year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack 
into Hitler's personal super-code machine - not Enigma but an even tougher 
system, which he called his 'secrets writer'. Their break turned the 
Battle of Kursk, powered the D-day landings and orchestrated the end of 
the conflict in Europe. But it was also to be used during the Cold War - 
which meant both men's achievements were hushed up and never officially 
recognised.
