Episode description
In this episode we watch the movie The Imitation Game.
Alongside your regular team of Thomas, Ben and Liz there was only one mathematician with the expertise who could take us through this movie with grace, wit and wisdom. And that mathematician wasn't available so we got Dr James Grimes instead.
Join us for episode five of Maths at: The Movies as we separate fact from fiction about the life of Alan Turing.
