Episode 215
The war is raging across Europe. German U-boats stalk the Atlantic, threatening to cut Britain off from supplies. Hitler’s armies seem unstoppable. But in a quiet English country house, a small group of mathematicians, chess players, and linguists are working around the clock on something invisible—an enemy of numbers and codes.

At the centre of this effort is a quiet, awkward man. He’s brilliant, eccentric, and far more comfortable with equations than small talk. He runs for miles to clear his mind, scribbles down thoughts on crumpled scraps of paper, and dreams of machines that can think like people.

This is the story of Alan Turing. The man who helped crack the uncrackable code, shortened the war, and laid the foundations for the computers we use today.
