Code-Breakers: Bletchley Park's Lost Heroes

Julian Carey

This is a documentary about unsung heroes of World War II. In 1943, a 24-year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack into Hitler's personal super-code machine - not Enigma but an even tougher system, which he called his 'secrets writer'. Their break turned the Battle of Kursk, powered the D-day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in Europe. But it was also to be used during the Cold War - which meant both men's achievements were hushed up and never officially recognized.

A documentary about the painter, clockmaker and author Kit Williams, and his 1979 book Masquerade. A treasure hunt in book form, Masquerade became a national obsession as Britons tried to decode its mystery and find the golden rabbit Williams had buried in a location which would be revealed upon solving the book's enigma.
