The Bletchley Park Podcast - E27 - From The Red Carpet
October 2014
This month we come to you from the red carpet at
The Odeon Leicester Square for the premiere of
THE IMITATION GAME. The movie based on the
life and work of Codebreaker Alan Turing was
picked to open the prestigious 2014 BFI London
Film Festival.
To celebrate the film’s release in UK cinemas on
the 14th of November, Bletchley Park will open
a major new exhibition, taking visitors behind the
scenes of this highly anticipated movie. We’ll bring
you more on that next month, now, though, we can
bring you exclusive behind the scenes interviews
recorded during filming in the Mansion at Bletchley
Park in late 2013.
We first spoke to two members of the Turing family.
Dermot Turing is a Bletchley Park Trustee as well as
being Alan Turing’s nephew. His son, James, signed
up as a supporting actor - once known as extras, for
the film .We chatted to them both about what it was
like to be involved in a film about the famous relative
they’re both too young to have ever met.
Then, screen writer Graham Moore and executive
producer Teddy Schwarzmann somehow managed
to find time in the busy schedule of filming to sit
down with us to talk about how they first discovered
Alan’s story and wanted to bring it to the world.
Finally this month, as always, we bring you an
interview with a real Bletchley Park Veteran. Dot
Tuffin was a Bombe Wren based first at Eastcote
and later posted to Colombo. When she visited the
newly restored buildings at the Veterans’ preview
in May, the memories came flooding back.
