Station X

Prof. Peter Hilton:
Alan Turing was unique, and he was a genius. And what you realise when you get to know a genius well, is that there's all the difference between a very intelligent person and a genius. With very intelligent people you talk to them, they come out with an idea, and you say to yourself, if not to them, '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.
