Judi Dench has opened up about the challenges her eyesight condition has brought on, revealing that it’s become “impossible” for her to read scripts.
Years ago, the award-winning actor revealed she had Amd (age-related macular degeneration), a common condition that usually occurs in people’s fifties and sixties and affects vision.
Amd doesn’t cause total blindness, but can make reading and recognising faces difficult, according to the NHS website.
Last October, the 88-year-old Belfast star said the condition was “bad enough”, admitting she “can’t see”.
Now, during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Dench said “it has become impossible” for her to read scripts (via Entertainment Tonight).
“Because I have a photographic memory, I need to find a machine that not only teaches me my lines but also tells me where they appear on the page,” she explained.
“I used to find it very easy to learn lines and remember them.

South Park tore into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the latest episode of the series.
The adult animation didn’t hold back when depicting the couple, with viewers branding the episode “brutal”.
While they didn’t specifically use their names, the male character is a red-headed prince and his wife wears the exact same outfit Meghan once wore in 2018.
In the episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour”, the prince is promoting a book named Waaaagh, which is a seeming reference to Harry’s controversial memoir, Spare, which was released last month.
The couple are shown around South Park, with the Meghan character stating: “If we moved here, people would think we’re really serious about wanting to be normal.”
Their arrival in South Park annoys the show’s characters, with Kyle saying: “They have this huge jet parked in front of my house and they keep on wanting me to buy their book.

The Last of Us makers are being called “pretetnious” after it was revealed they “banned” a certain word from being spoken on set.
Last month, the HBO videogame adaptation, from Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, was released to acclaim, with particular praise being heaped upon lead stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
The series is set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by an outbreak that sees heat=adsapted fungus cordyceps reduce humans to an infected state.
Many viewers unfamiliar with the games might assume that the infected are, in fact, zombies – but this is actually a point of contention among fans who get frustrated when people refer to them as such.
It turns out the word “zombie” was actually banned from being spoken on set. Cinematographer Even Bolten, who worked on four episodes of the season, made the revelation in a new interview.
“We weren’t allowed to say the Z word on set,...

Jeremy Clarkson is in hot water again, following a terse exchange on his show Clarkson’s Farm, in which he told a dyslexic barrister to “learn to spell”.
Charles Streeten said that the former Top Gear host’s mocking comments about his spelling during an episode of the Amazon Prime show had forced him to relive his difficult childhood.
Streeten was representing the local council against Clarkson over planning permission to extend his farm in Oxfordshire in the second series of the programme.
During the episode, while walking out of the planning meeting, Clarkson told Streeten he should “learn to spell”.
Streeten subsequently published an open letter to Clarkson, revealing his learning difficulties and explaining they had not affected his career as a barrister, later adding that he had not expected the remark to be televised.
In a statement shared with The Times, Clarkson said: “It’s great that Mr Streeten...

Frank Skinner has explained why he longer wishes to be on TV.
The comedian, who had his own BBC One chat show in the 1990s, which moved to ITV from 1999 to 2005, said he thinks “radio and podcasts is the place for me” during a new interview.
Skinner was responding to a question that asked him whetherhe was happiest “on stage, radio or telly”.
“I’m 66 now,” he told Metro.co.uk. “I think the human face gets quite hard to look at when you get to about 60 onwards. So I think probably radio and podcasts is the place for me.”
He continued: “Plus, I like not having to shave.”
Skinner has been a fixture on TV screens for three decades now, with appearances on comedy shows, Room 101, Have I Got News For You and Taskmaster.
In 2014, he appeared alongside Peter Capaldi in an episode of Doctor Who.
