E29 - Ghosts of Bletchley Park
December 2014
This month we again have more exclusive
content for you from The Imitation Game.
Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Alan
Turing in the film, tells us about how nerve
wracking, special and even ghostly it was
filming scenes at Bletchley Park.
We also take you to the opening of The
Imitation Game, The Exhibition, which was
held at the Home of The Codebreakers with
a special screening of the film. BBC 3 Counties
Jane Killick and our own roving podcast reporter
Astrid Specht speak to some of the guests at
the black-tie event, including David Broder,
location manager on The Imitation Game and
a long time champion of Bletchley Park.
The Turing Test is an underlying theme of the
film and it’s still confounding computer
scientists to this day. For more than two
decades Dr Hugh Loebner has turned that
into a competition which for the second time
was hosted at Bletchley Park. We find out
why it is still important today from the
organisers and one of the judges, BBC TV’s
James May.
Finally this month we hear from Veteran
Kathleen Wing, an Intercept Operator from
1944 to 45, who caught up with researcher,
author and roving podcast reporter Kerry
Howard, at the 2014 Veterans’ Reunion.
