On July 30 at 10PM Pacific Time (1AM Eastern Time), they will be airing and live streaming "Breaking the Code" Starring Simon Templeman
In Hugh Whitemore's play, Simon Templeman stars as brilliant mathematician Alan Turing, the man who cracked the German Enigma code and enabled the Allies to win World War II. But Turing was to find that the country he saved cared less about his genius and more about his sexual orientation.
Featuring Simon Templeman, Sheelagh Cullen, Kenneth Danziger, Peter Dennis, Samantha Robson, Orlando Seale, W. Morgan Sheppard, and Andrew Sogliuzzo. Directed by Rosalind Ayres.
Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in July of 2003.

Are you talking about Zygalski sheets [wikipedia.org]? The Polish invented them, but the British manufactured their own, some of which were taken by Turing to the Polish cryptanalysts in France after Poland was conquered.
The Polish were reading Enigma messages and shared their techniques with the British and French. The British used that knowledge to design and build their own decryption machine, but it wasn't a mere clone of the Polish machine (bomba kryptologiczna).
