Hollywood lays her like a pink satin featherbed over parts that should be spiky. She's sugar for the moviegoing palate.

Understood. I do not think Clarke was sugary. Quiet, apparently, rather than confrontational, but she can't have been shrinking; she was Deputy Head of Hut 8 by 1944. She wasn't shocked to learn of Turing's sexuality. The mistake they both made was in thinking for half a year that it wouldn't make a difference to their marriage.

O my. That Morcom has an excellent face.

Their young Turing isn't bad, either: softer face, but the hair is right. I am . . . weirdly endeared by his Twitter.
