I see they can’t be bothered to make a TV series just a series of articles.

I hope they pay particular attention to the despicable treatment of Alan Turing. It's a black mark on the history of British computing and pioneering and I always feel shame when the subject comes up.

You didn't persecute him did you though?

As ***** as it is and for what its worth, they did issue a posthumous apology iirc.

Every BBC article i've read in the last week always seems to have a small section printed twice.

Just under the video in that article it says "Retired British spy Tony Sale rebuilt Colossus, the world's first first recognisably programmable computer."
