Peter Hilton (Matthew Beard) falls out severely with Alan Turing because of the effect his actions could have on Hilton's brother, serving in action. In the documentary about Bletchley Park, Station X (1999), the real Peter Hilton (by then a professor of mathematics) pays the following tribute to Alan Turing: "Alan Turing...was a genius...and there's all the difference between a very intelligent person and a genius. With very intelligent people...they come out with an idea, and you say to yourself...'I could have had that idea.' You never had this feeling with Turing at all. He constantly surprised you with the originality of his thinking; it was marvellous."
