From Turing To Today - The Changing Face Of The Spy In The Internet Age

Alan Turing's nephew Sir John Dermot Turing and security correspondent for BBC news Gordon Corera look at Turing the man and his genius in breaking the Nazi codes in World War II and at how his legacy and the Internet age has bred a new kind of spy.

Who are these people working in the shadows today to spy on extremists businesses and governments?

Dermot Turing's new biography of his uncle Prof: Alan Turing Decoded takes a look at the short 42-year life of a man widely regarded as a war hero badly mistreated by his country, a story that gained new prominence from the recent hugely successful Hollywood movie The Imitation Game starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing.

Dermot Turing uncovers the real man behind the stories and looks at his wartime work after 1942 which was kept even more secret than the Enigma work.
