► Jodie Whittaker was among 386 new members, including The Witchfinders’ Siobhan Finneran and writer Sarah Dollard, inducted into BAFTA in 2018. Jodie read Ada Twist, Scientist for CBeebies’ Bedtime Stories on 7 December (a follow-up is expected) and was seen as the star guest on Channel 4’s Jamie and Jimmy’s Friday Night Feast the same day. She attended the Starlight Children’s Foundation Christmas party at 11 Downing Street on 10 December and provided a video message, played on New York’s One Times Square giant screen, for four deserving children flown there by British Airways as part of the BA Magic 100 Project (tinyurl.com/JodieFairytale). Jodie was also the subject of Radio 2’s Jo Whiley Meets… on Christmas Day.
