Meh, I watched it last night, and it left me wanting more. It delt more with Turing dealing with homosexuality than exploring his discoveries in depth.
I was disapointed.

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)
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!
