- Oh, terrific. Thank you. - And I love that I can come in and say that. - Me too. Thank you very much. - And genuinely mean it, so much. And I want everyone to love it (1) ………….. much (2) ………….. I did and I want everyone to see it. Oh good. Well, get out there and tell them. Well, this is where I need your help. Okay, come on. What would you say to a young audience who aren't (3) ………….. familiar with the story to make them go and see it? I mean, it's funny. It's really thrilling, it's war thriller. It's also about an extraordinary human being who is really important to our modern lives. If you have an iPhone, if you use social media, if you understand what it is to connect through technology, if you feel (4) ………….. you've ever been an outsider or you've been bullied or people see you (5) ………….. being something other than the conservative of idea of the norm, normal - whatever that means – then this is a hero for you. This is a man that you should understand and know the story of moment, so it's not a history lesson; it's something that's, sadly, incredibly relatable to today. Very relevant, very current. You do learn a lot from it (6) ………….. well. You do, but I think it's very easy on the kind of, 'And now we're doing the science bit.' It's not (7) ………….. that, it's a really fast-paced, thrilling, intelligent but smart and funny kind of film to introduce bigger ideas to and we know that we're telling this to an audience that we want to have a wider understanding of this matter. Of course, for experts there are better jumping off points to go to after the film, through Andrew Hodges amazing biography and amazing amounts, reams are written about cryptography and everything that Alan Turing did, both with that but also he was involved in biology; if you have any interest in science (8) …………..a kid, this is fascinating but even if you don't it's just alarmingly brilliant how diverse this man's talents were. Yeah, you may think that you've got nothing to offer the world but actually you really do just because you are who you are and that's a hugely important message in the film. Are there any other quotes (9) ………….. that in the film that inspired you? That's a big one. God, many. I mean yeah, there's one I try to hold on to a little bit, and I'm being lazy because I've said this before but my brain is- I've got very odd quotes from Richard III swilling round my mind which are not good things to hold on to, but amazing. I would say there's one by Desuso which my fans know, so forgive me those of you who are watching, but it's 'Dance (10) ………….. no-one's watching. Sing (11) ………….. though no-one can hear you' No, yeah, sing (12) ………….. in no-on can hear you, erm, 'Love (13) ………….. though you've never been hurt. And live life (14) ………….. though heaven is on Earth.' I think that's quite a good motto to hold on to. Yeah, it is.
