It's a TV program.
What proportion of the TV viewing public are more interested in the entscheidungsproblem compared to sex and death ?
On the other hand, at least it wasn't BBC. Then it would have somebody on a bike doing zany things (cos science is fun) that fit in a specific section of schools curriculum (so they meet their public service quota)
- iambot 15y agoI agree, and as such my comment served the thread by warning those visiting HN, that unless they were looking for a melodrama, it was probably not worth watching. Just my opinion, but that's (part of) what comments are for.
- nobody314159265 15y agoI just assume TV programs about science/engineering, even British ones, will be disappointing. Oddly the maths in Derek Jacobi's portrayal is very good - but the human drama doesn't always work. In one scene he is talking to the commanding officer who says all this sex business is just youthfulness and it doesn't really matter when you get older. But a 20something Turing is played by a 50something Jacobi who looks 20years older than the actor playing the C/O!
- timthorn 15y agoYou've obviously not been watching BBC4 - I really recommend keeping an eye on their schedules.
