Ada Lovelace was a most unlikely computer pioneer. In this film, Dr Hannah Fry tells the story of Adas 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 an enthralling tale of how a life infused with brilliance, but blighted by illness and gambling addiction, helped give rise to the modern era of computing.
