The Bletchley Circle ITV Drama
Written by Guy Burt, this unique drama is the tale of four courageous women with extraordinary puzzle solving skills that were utilised at Bletchley during World War II, reunited 9 years later, coming together to help solve another mystery.
Set in 1952, Susan, Millie, Lucy and Jean have returned to their normal lives, modestly setting aside the part they played in producing crucial intelligence, which helped the Allies to victory and shortened the war. Normal lives, aided of course, by the political ties that bind women to a certain lifestyle, alongside the Official Secrets Act 1911.
When Susan discovers a hidden code behind an unsolved murder she is met by skepticism from the police. She quickly realises she can only begin to crack the murders and bring the culprit to justice with her former friends.
The Bletchley Circle paints a vivid portrait of post-war Britain in this fictional tale of unsung heroes.
