>>Julian Fellowes: I've been involved in the Talking Book service for a long time,
since I was just starting out as an actor.
I suppose what draws me to it is that my whole life
has been based around the word, you know as an actor
and then a screen writer and a novelist and everything else,
and the thought of being deprived of the word, is terrifying to me.
But also what is really crucial to the Talking Books service
is it makes blind people autonomous.
You want to get back some of the pleasures that you [had] before
and one that can come back 100 per cent, unqualified, is reading a book.
And that is because of the Talking Book service.
>>Narrator: 39,000 people already know how amazing the Talking Book service can be.
But that's just a fraction of the people who could benefit.
