A biographical account of the life and work of mathematician, codebreaker and computer visionary, Alan Turing. Director: Christopher Sykes Writer: Christopher Sykes
The television film The Strange Life and Death of Dr Turing was made for the BBC Horizon series in December 1991, and first shown on 9 March 1992. The film-maker was Christopher Sykes, who did an excellent job on a rather low budget; it shows many places and people in the Turing story as well as explaining the line of his work, and in fact the interviews were valuable additions to the record.
