There are secrets and there are secrets. And there were none more secret than the work done during World War II at Bletchley Park.

Station X, as it was known, was so efficient it could read coded messages from German generals on the battlefield before they were even seen by Hitler in Berlin. And the Germans never suspected a thing - which was not surprising, given that they had invented the most complicated encoding machine the world had ever seen.

The Victorian mansion in Buckinghamshire was so secret the people who worked there didn't talk about it even to their parents, let alone their husbands and wives. Some took the secret to their graves.

Winston Churchill called the place his "goose that laid the golden egg and never cackled". The "golden egg" was nothing less than the ability to decode the secrets of the German war machine.

One of those decoders was Rozanne Colchester. Howard Bentham went and had tea with Rozanne at her home in Bloxham and found out about the most secret work in British war history, whether Alan Turing was a good dancer, and her work at Bletchley Park.
