The actress said she had a "fantastic time" on the show, which she had to juggle with school and, later, studying at Oxford University.

She told Today she thought a big screen version of The Archers was a "fantastic suggestion", and that Meryl Streep could play Ruth.

French cartoonist Albert Uderzo is the latest illustator to express his solidarity with the victims of the attack on Charlie Hebdo.

The co-creator of the Asterix series drew a new image of his Gallic hero, with a fresh take on the "Je Suis Charlie" quote.

"Charlie and Asterix have nothing to do with each other obviously," the 87-year-old was quoted as saying in Le Figaro, external.

"I simply want to express my affection for those designers who have paid with their lives."

Stephen Fry told us earlier that he is going to Paris later today to take part in a march on Sunday following the tragic events in Paris.

"I'm going just as an act of solidarity really, it's a meaningless act I know but it's the best I can do," he said.

"I wouldn't normally use such language, but for me the act was a blasphemy about everything I hold sacred - not that I would ever use that word normally. It's a sacrilegious thing to attack free speech in the world of the enlightenment. Of course we don't use words like sin, holy, blasphemy and sacrilege, but they are the equivalent for us. They're the deepest offence imaginable to kill to try to suppress free speech.

"Some people say [the cartoons] aren't very good - they're a bit vulgar - yes they may well be, but that's not the point. You have to understand that the real importance of this - it is fundamental to everything we are.

"Certain values must be protected. I've had my quarrels with journalism in the past and Britain has had a very loud debate with itself about the values of journalistic ethics of its main newspapers and so on. But all of that falls apart when compared to this horror that's been perpetrated at the Charlie Hebdo offices.

"We must take it as a rallying point."

BBC Radio 5 live

A schoolboy is waiting to hear whether a picture he was given by a stranger is a Banksy original.

Ben Azarya, 14, was on a train in Cumbria when he helped a stranger pick up his paints after they fell out of his bag.

Ben told 5 live: "He dropped a few of his paints. After I helped pick them up, he pulled out a piece of paper and he said 'do you know who Robin Banks is?'

"I said no, then he signed the paper Banksy in some weird symbols. He was like 'this is worth 20 grand, have a good life brother.'"

More nominees have given their reaction to their Bafta nods.

James Marsh - director, The Theory of Everything

"For a British film-maker with a film that engages with the lives of British characters who have lived such extraordinary and exemplary lives, the nominations from Bafta are one of the most thrilling and valuable honours I could hope for. So it's a great day for me and for the film and all the many people who worked with me on it."

Anthony McCarten - screenwriter, The Theory of Everything

"My thanks to Bafta, to the team who helped make this film, and again and again to Jane and Stephen for their trust and living example. Humanity may be the stuff of stardust and atomic waste but it would count for little without the power of human reason and of love."

Harvey Weinstein - producer, The Imitation Game and Big Eyes

On The Imitation Game:

"I am thrilled and so thankful for all of the support for The Imitation Game. It's been an honour to work with this tremendously talented cast in bringing Alan Turing's story, which is not widely known outside of the UK, to audiences around the world. He was a hero, an innovator and a pioneer. The film was made on just $14m and I am so happy that all the hard work and passion for the film has come together and been recognised by so many."

On Big Eyes:

"I am honoured and grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Tim Burton, Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz on Big Eyes. It was an extraordinary moment and I am so thrilled for the amazing cast and team who helped to bring the story behind Margaret Keane's art work to light and give her the recognition she deserved for so many years."

Wes Anderson, Steven Rales, Scott Rudin, Jeremy Dawson - producers, The Grand Budapest Hotel

The Guardian

Peter Bradshaw comments, external the lack of recognition for Mr Turner and Martin Luther King biopic Selma "leave a strange taste".

He concludes: "It is Cumberbatch and Redmayne who are cantering ahead of everyone else - so far - in this year's Bafta field, with [Rosamund] Pike alongside them. But perhaps [JK] Simmons's bullish shaven-headed jazz supremo will join them in the winner's enclosure or perhaps everyone will be crowded out by the exotic exquisites of The Grand Budapest Hotel. It's a very open race - but very sad not to see Mr Turner there."
