- Following the announcement by the Bank of England in July 2019, Bletchley Park is delighted that pioneering computer scientist and Bletchley Park Codebreaker, Alan Turing, is the new face of the £50 note.
This is the first time a computer scientist and LGBTQ+ individual has been recognised in this way.
In this video, Alan Turing's nephew, Sir Dermot Turing, explores more about Alan Turing and his work at Bletchley Park in this short film.

About Bletchley Park
Bletchley Park is a vibrant heritage attraction and museum, open daily to visitors.
It was the home of British World War Two codebreaking; a place where technological innovation and human endeavour came together to make groundbreaking achievements that have helped shape the world we live in today.
This unique site was previously a vast Victorian estate, where parts including the Mansion still survive, expanding during wartime to accommodate Codebreakers Huts and Blocks.
During World War Two, the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), now known as the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), was based at Bletchley Park. It grew from a small team of specialists to a vast intelligence factory of thousands of dedicated women and men. This extraordinary combination of brilliant and determined people and cutting-edge technology contributed significantly to Allied victory. In tough conditions, they provided vital intelligence and developed pioneering technological innovation that had a direct and profound influence on the outcome of the war.
The site continues to reveal secrets and tell fascinating stories of our national legacy.
The Bletchley Park Trust
Bletchley Park Trust is a registered charity, heritage attraction and independent museum. As an independent charity, we rely on income from our visitors, Friends and supporters to secure the long-term future of the site.
Registered charity number: 1012743
Congratulations Bletchley Park for raising awareness so Alan Turing can receive accolades like him being added to the new £50 note. Thank you.
Would have been good but the music level was far to high while the subject was talking
Poles cracked the code before Turing and Bletchley Park. Upon the shoulders of giants was such work done.
I was thrilled to see this Video. Dr. Turing deserves more than credit for his accomplishment, but also 'extra' credit for being subjected to what led to his ending his own life (assuming it was really his decision). I am a U.S. Citizen and Computer Scientist, who appreciated everything he did for keeping our World Free an what he contributed to Computer Science that has shaped our World as we know it today. I plan on someday taking the pilgrimage to Bletchley part and delivering homage in person to hi genius, heroism and accomplishments.
It's too bad the music drowns out so much of what the narrator is saying
Very Good!
Congratulations, Dr. Alan Mathison Turing. At last, real justice has been done to you, being elected by the people.
👍
Overly intrusive music track. Far too loud!
Yay gay representation!!!
Very annoying music.
It was Tommy Flower, a post office engineer who built colossus, The first programmable electronic computer. The father of this computer age we live in gets over looked in favour of Turning in account of his politically relevant sexuality.
