Good news – Benedict Cumberbatch to play Alan Turing.
Bad news – according to rumour, Turing will be, like, 80% more heterosexual in this movie than he was in real life. As in, his love interest is Kiera Knightley . OK, so he and Joan Clarke were engaged for a while but it’s my understanding they figured out it wasn’t going to work and broke off the engagement, although they stayed friends. Which sounds like some kind of Will & Grace meets The Big Bang Theory sitcom. Which I’d probably watch, actually.
Wished-for news - Bletchley Park britcom. There’d be a running gag about Alan chaining his tea mug to a different unlikely item each week.
