New PBS drama packed with cool, super-smart women–and typewriters!
Some of the original code-breaking women of Bletchley, in a vintage photo.
Must-watch TV — Last Sunday, the Bletchley Circle debuted on PBS. It follows the adventures of the unsung, code-breaking women of Bletchley into their post-war years. They re-unite to find and stop a serial killer.

They ride into London inside astonishingly beautiful train cars. In other words, geek Valhalla. Here’s a link. (yes, you can watch the first episode online)
