Documentary in which Dr Hannah Fry tells the story of unlikely computer pioneer Ada Lovelace's remarkable life. Born in the early 19th century Ada was a countess of the realm, a scandalous socialite and an 'enchantress of numbers'. The film is a tale of how a life infused with brilliance, but blighted by illness and gambling addiction, helped give rise to the modern era of computing.
