Actress Judi Dench has opened up about her deteriorating eyesight, saying she could no longer read scripts.

The British star, 88, who revealed this on BBC chat show The Graham Norton Show last Friday, said: “It has become impossible and 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.”
