Andrew Scott, who won best supporting actor for Pride, said the real people who the film is about "said that it was their fear that this story would go to their graves".

"Everything in Pride is true. The fact that the story is out there is just a bonus. People across the country are clapping at the end of this film."

Quizzed on his recently announced role in next year's James Bond film, Scott said he was used to keeping plot lines under wraps after working on Sherlock.

"I'm quite used to keeping secrets - you just learn to nod and smile. I'd think it would be so weird to start giving the plot away," he said.
