The Big Bang - Ada Lovelace & Charles Babbage - Strange But True

Miss this show so much!! I wish the whole series was online

[@Tempiku]

Whose idea was it to portray Lovelace as a drunken, lisping baby? And she wasn't the "first woman to program a computer" she was the first PERSON to program a computer. God!

[@Corrie-gk4go]

Violet Berlin has a lisp. she isn't putting it on for her role as Ada

[@katekane6697]

Tempiku Yes, she was the first person to program a computer.

[@Dragonblaster1]

The Science Museum built a Babbage Difference Engine 2, an automated calculator rather than the fully featured computer that was the Analytical Engine. Nobody has ever built one, though I hope someone will some day with the aid of Kickstarter or whatever,

[@katekane6697]

You know Ada Lovelace was the first computer programmer ever.

[@GarethJonesTV]

Yep I have them all.....in a deep dark recess of my attic, err somewhere.

[@EdmondChhung]

That isn't the analytical engine btw its the difference engine. Its a machine which calculates logarithm values.

As a Computer Science Educator I cannot emphasise The Educational Potential Inherent Within This Outstanding Serioez

[@AdiPun]

Thank you Gareth! If you have any more clips please could you post them all, i loved big bang as a kid!

[@sumayyaal-amin2498]

I used to love this show so much! why is it so hard to search it up online though?! ( ; _ ; )

[@ciceromatrix]

this is very inspirational

[@tinnguyen2479]

Anyone know where I can buy or watch this series???

[@garciab006]

This show was awesome. It wasn't the same when you and Violet left the series and I can't seem to find many clips from Series 5/6. CZcams assumes I'm looking for a Korean Pop Band or the sitcom when I search 'The Big Bang'. -.-

[@pavelsydka6174]

It's funny how they don't mention babbages journal where in detailed description he accounts of a satanic ritual he performed using his own blood. Then he received a vision of how to create the computer. She was most likely a witch if she was hanging with him.
