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. It features grungy, secret offices packed with obscure typewriters, flying fingers and terse conversation among sharp, seriously quirky women with great accents.
