    My Dad was a codebreaker at Bletchley Park and worked on Enigma, the Ultra Secret, during WWII. He was one of 13 cryptographers sent from US, at Churchill’s request.

    My Dad was also in hut 6. After the war he could never leave the country again or speak of his service in England.

    A nice BSA bicycle... you know what they say, the next step up is a nice BSA motorcycle... I can only imagine what tales this bike can tell... for all we knew, Adam Turing may have borrowed this bike for a bit...

    This show is an example of perfect tv and what it can do to ALL the senses, a lesson should be learned from this by the whole of the so called reality dross.

    Read The Ultra Secret, and Enigma, there is a movie, Jude Frazier, my pop was a hero, I miss him so he passed before we knew about his contribution at Bletchley and work on breaking the Nazi code. He could never talk about it. I imagine he could have known yer Mum. His name was Stuart Frazier. Maybe their paths crossed.

    It was going so well until they insisted, for TV purposes, that he must wear a helmet for riding at walking speed for 50 yards. Did they also insist that he wear a 'walking helmet' when he walked back to his car?

    It wouldn't function 1/2 mile with that sprocket! What's he supposed to do? Build the worn areas of the sprocket teeth back up with a welder and dress the profile with an angle grinder! How original would that have looked. The saddle collapsing over the seatpost would be unwanted drama! The basket is self explanatory!
