SAT Maggie Philbin on Bletchley Park SAT Some things simply can't be counted as work and a trip to SAT Bletchley Park SAT in any circumstances is one of them. I hope this programme SAT which raids the BBC archive to see how we reported the story SAT of IT captures something of the atmosphere of the place. SAT Look out for the moment when we feel our way gingerly by SAT torchlight along a pigeon infested corridor in one deserted SAT building where so many clever heads combined to crack codes SAT and save thousands of lives during WW2. SAT The history of computing isn't just about room sized SAT computers shrinking to fit into the palm of your hand but SAT extraordinary men and women from SAT Ada Lovelace SAT to SAT Clive Sinclair SAT to SAT Tim Berners-Lee SAT and our attitude to their pioneering work at the time. SAT When I joined the BBC's Tomorrow's World team in the early SAT 1980's, there wasn't a single computer in the office. In SAT 1994 there were only 623 websites in the world. Today, along SAT with the internet, they have come to reshape the way we SAT live, work, communicate and play.

Alex Jennings MON Freddy ..... Stephen Wight MON Carol ..... Polly Frame MON Masha ..... Debbie Chazen MON Keith ..... Sam Dale MON Producer ..... Sally Avens MON Alistair Beaton and Tom Mitchelson's satire is set in the MON world of modern newspapers. MON A group of dysfunctional journalists attempt to cover major MON news stories at the same time as grappling with the demands MON of working in a multi-platform environment, watching MON circulation figures plummet and the recession causing half MON the workforce to be laid off. MON At the heart of the comedy is the relationship between MON Maddox Bradley, a journalist who mourns the day of proper MON investigative journalism, and Freddy, the online editor who MON will regurgitate a press release quite happily and call it a MON story. But they have a grudging respect for the each other MON as Freddy helps Maddox stay afloat in the world of Twitter, MON Facebook and podcasting and Maddox shows Freddy how to sniff MON out the real story. Both are at the mercy of Oliver, the MON pragmatic Editor more concerned with keeping his job, and MON Carol, the news editor who believes that circulation will MON increase if they run pieces on Big Mac eating orang-utans MON and 'intelligent' skunks rather than Maddox's moral MON crusading diatribes. And only Masha, the Russian head of MON online communities, who wants to give away all their content MON because that is true democracy, knows Freddy's secret; that MON he's a posh boy from Eton rather than a hypercool kid from MON the street; well that's what Freddy thinks anyway. MON Alistair Beaton is one of our best known political MON satirists. He won the Evening Standard comedy award for his MON play 'Feelgood', was a founding member of 'Not The Nine MON O'clock News' and also wrote 'A Very Social Secretary' and ' MON The Trial of Tony Blair' for television.

But for MON mathematicians, his greatest work was on the invention of MON the computer. MON Alan Turing's brilliance at maths was spectacular. Aged 22, MON just a year after his graduation, he was elected a fellow of MON King's College Cambridge. And it was just a year after that, MON that he turned his attention to problems in the foundations MON of mathematics and ended up showing that a simple machine, MON set up to read and write numbers and to run a few basic MON functions, could in principle do all the things that are MON do-able in mathematics. His 'universal' machine was just a MON concept - a paper tape that could be read, interpreted and MON acted on robotically. But the concept was profound. MON World War II shortly afterwards took Turing's talents into MON other directions, but even while designing machines at MON Bletchley Park to break the German Enigma codes, he was MON wondering how much more a computing machine might do - play MON chess for example. MON And although the war work might have delayed Turing's MON academic work, it greatly accelerated progress in MON electronics, so that in 1945 he returned to his first love, MON creating a complete design for what he expected to be the MON world's first fully programmable computer, the National MON Physical Laboratory's ACE - the Automatic Computing Engine. MON In the end, beset by hesitation and bureaucratic delays, the MON ACE was overtaken by a rival team in Manchester, whose Small MON Scale Experimental Machine first ran on June 21 1948. But MON the Manchester Baby, as it became known, fulfilled the MON requirements laid down in Turing's seminal 1936 paper, and MON in a handful of instructions had the power to do any kind of MON maths, or data processing, like a computer of today does. MON Turing soon joined the Manchester team, and again with MON remarkable prescience started work on artificial MON intelligence, wondering whether electronic machines could MON programmed not just to do maths, but to think in the way MON human minds do - a hot topic of debate even now. MON Those explorations were cut short by his suicide in 1954, MON following prosecution for his homosexuality. His death at a MON time when official secrecy still hid his code-breaking work, MON and when the history of computing was already being written MON meant that few appreciated his central role in today's MON dominant industry. But some enthusiasts hope they can write MON him back in where he belongs. MON Presenter, Standup Mathematician Matt Parker.

FRI FRI 06:30 The FAE Sonata b00sjbsx (Listen) FRI Frei Aber Einsam - 'free but lonely' - was the motto of the FRI great 19th century violinist Joseph Joachim. It's also the FRI name of a Violin Sonata played by Joachim, accompanied by FRI Clara Schumann, that resulted from a collaboration between FRI the composer Robert Schumann and two of his pupils, Johannes FRI Brahms and Albert Dietrich. FRI On the 200th anniversary of Schumann's birth, Tom Robinson FRI examines the complex relationships between these romantic FRI artists through the prism of this piece of music. Schumann's FRI passionate love for his wife Clara is matched only by FRI Brahms' devotion to her during and following Schumann's FRI decline into mental illness. FRI Brahms was also a close champion of Joachim, until the FRI violinist's divorce, when they fell out over the composer's FRI support for Joachims' wife. And the FAE Sonata itself was FRI neglected - an innocent victim - until long after Brahms' FRI death. FRI Tom unpicks the romantic and turbulent story of a musical FRI collaboration with the help of pianist and Schumann champion FRI Lucy Parham, violinist Tasmin Little, Robert John Godfrey of FRI 'The Enid' and Radio 3's Andrew McGregor.
