March 2014
Children’s TV presenters Dick & Dom came to
Bletchley Park to film a programme about Alan Turing.
Absolute Genius with Dick & Dom will be on CBBC
on the 12th March. We caught a quick word with them
between takes.
Battlefield History TV is making a fascinating
documentary about the Bletchley Park story which
will soon be available on DVD. We bring you a taste
of what will be in the finished programme with Iain
Standen interviewing Veteran Bombe Wren Sue Winn
& Bletchley Park Historian Joel Greenberg talking
about his new biography of Gordon Welchman,
Bletchley Park’s Architect of Ultra Intelligence.
The official histories of Huts 3 & 6 were written
shortly after the war was won by the actual people
who worked in them during WW2. Historian &
founding member of the Bletchley Park Trust, Peter
Wescombe, gives an insight into the minds of ordinary
men & women doing extraordinary jobs.
We take you back to February 1941 as actors brought
the mansion to life with The Living History Project. The
actress playing the Wren had a personal connection to
the Bletchley Park story as her grandfather was a
Bombe maintainer at Eastcote & Stanmore. Eric Hume
came all the way from Devon to see her in action &
we interview a proud grandfather.
