'The Imitation Game' was also a TV play in the eighties, I think, in which a mathematically-gifted woman working at Bletchley Park during the war, in a position which does not fully utilise her talents, sleeps with the, ahem, fictional, brilliant, awkward mathematician behind Britain's code-breaking efforts. He leaves his notes lying around his rented accommodation, so of course she reads them and – worse – understands them. She is arrested and locked up forever by the security services. The end.

I enjoyed the play when I saw it, but I can see some flaws in the plot now....
