BBC shines spotlight on work at Bletchley museum

28/10/2011 BBC shines spotlight on work at Bletchley museumThe BBC has recognised the work of the code-breakers who used the world's first modern computer to decipher encrypted messages during the Second World War and the people who have since rebuilt the machine. 

Code-Breakers: Bletchley Park's Lost Heroes explained the role of Colossus and how it was crucial to the code-breaking activities at Bletchley Park. It also celebrated the work of the late Tony Sale and his team who spent years rebuilding the computer for The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC).

It comes as work on creating a new gallery in which to house the Colossus is expected to begin later this year.

"Colossus is already a hugely popular attraction at TNMOC and we plan that the new Gallery … will be a fitting tribute to Bill Tutte, Tommy Flowers, the code-breakers at Bletchley Park and Tony Sale," said Andy Clark, chair of trustees at the museum, who added that he is "thrilled" at the "comprehensive and extremely moving" BBC programme.

The new gallery will open next year and will sit alongside the new Tunny Gallery, which opened last May.
