From Artificial Intelligence to open-source culture, computer science is transforming how we live, work and play and levelling the playing field when it comes to equality of opportunity. But how did all this come about?
Join Professor Sue Black and her tech pioneer guests as they take us on a rollicking tour of the 100 moments that rocked both computer science - and the world around us. From the creation of the first search engine to the technology that sparked the work from home revolution, hear the true stories behind the inventions, advances and collaborations that made it all possible.
Featuring industry legends including Dame Stephanie Shirley, Alan Emtage, Jacky Wright, Dermot Turing, Anne-Marie Imafidon and Jimmy Wales, plus insights from Professor Gordon Love and Durham students Kaal Sahele and Quentin O'Brien.

With the recent launch of the new £50 note featuring Alan Turing – what better time for us to be joined by his nephew, Sir Dermot Turing as he talks to Professor Sue Black OBE - who led the campaign to save Bletchley Park!
Dermot provides a truly insightful background into his uncle’s computational model that created a brand new branch of mathematics and had such a lasting impact on computer science. He also discusses Turing’s remarkable code-breaking work at Bletchley Park in WW2 which helped to fundamentally shift the outcome of the conflict.
Also in this episode, the team reveal how the Turing machine was the blueprint for the digital computer we all know and rely on so much today.
