Bletchley Park was the secret home to Britain's top codebreakers during World War II. The base is now home to the fledgling National Museum of Computing, which features a rebuild of the world's first electronic codebreaking computer - Colossus.
In the first of this exclusive video series, silicon.com takes you behind the scenes at the museum for a look at the evolution of the modern computer, starting with Colossus and a demonstration by the man who rebuilt it - computer expert and former spy Tony Sale.
