Just over 50 years ago, a journalist called Nancy Friday wrote a book, my secret garden, all about women � s Sexual Fantasies. It was a best seller. And a revelation. Now actor Gillian Anderson known for playing a Sex Therapist in Netflix Series Sex education fantasies, called want. Our Culture Editor Katie razzall has been talking to her. I found it so difficult to understand what truly my own fantasies are. So much of what is played out in pawn is geared towards men, and so many expectations set on us as women. Gillian anderson, reading from her new book, want. A Collection Of womens Sexual Fantasies sent to her from across the world. Why dont you start by telling me how you feel . Viewers of Sex Education will be used to Gillian Anderson talking about sex in her role as a Sex Therapist. The new book is a modern take on a Cult Classic that put womens sexual Fantasies Centre Stage back in 1973. I wonder whether you came to any conclusions about how our attitudes to sex and women and sex have changed in the 50 years, 50 odd years since Nancy Friday . I think one of the things that surprised me was that there is still so much shame. Women still struggle to talk about it, struggle to share even, you know, in the Western World where we have access to it all the time. I wonder how you view it. Has pawn changed our Sex Lives and perception of sex, particularly amongst younger people . I think the book would probably be quite a good read for youth of today, because there are so many different versions of how sex can be that is outside what one might see, handed to them by the pawn industry. Theres a lot of tenderness and women really wanting to be seen for themselves and who they are. Actually, im looking forward to working with you. Its 30 years since anderson shot to fame as Dana Scully in the x files. Shes played powerful and interesting women ever since miss havisham in great expectations, real Life Journalist Emily Maitlis in scoop. Many of the fantasies are from older women. They have insight, they have appreciate their emotional maturity. So the ageing process, im glad to hear it as im very much ageing, does have its benefits. But as an actor in the public eye, i wonder how you deal with it and how you approach ageing. Ive certainly gone through periods where its struck me quite harshly that i too am ageing, and one needs to go through a mourning of, you know, Mourning Youth at various stages. But being on camera, there are certainly times where i see the final product and thinking, oh my god, is that really. Is that really what i look like . And going through some feelings around that, but then also realising that thats, you know, going to be the youngest that i look like from here on out. So id better, you know, embrace it. I just want to go back to your book, want. Yes, please. The fantasies are anonymous. Yes. And as you said, one of the fantasies is yours, and i have to ask any clues, which one . Yeah, well, i thought actually, today i might, um, let you know which one it was. No shut up. Whats great is that theyre anonymous. I dont think we would have gotten the Honesty And Breadth of what we got had it not been anonymous. And so mine will stay anonymous. Thank you so much for talking to us, Gillian Anderson. Thank you for having me. Katie razzall there speaking to Gillian Anderson. Stay with us here on bbc news. Hello there. A real mix of weather around this afternoon. We could have a few Flooding Problems to come across southern parts of england, but for Northern Ireland and West Scotland, the skies look like this. No chance of flooding here. Its a beautiful, warm and sunny day. Its across the south of england that weve already seen some rain, and The Rain is set to get a lot heavier over the next few hours because this area of rain thats been across northern france, thats brought 24mm of rain in just the space of one hour. And that intense zone of rain is rotating in now across southern england. So coastal parts of sussex, isle of wight, hampshire, into parts of wiltshire, somerset and perhaps gloucestershire as well these areas are most concerned about, with that torrential rain potentially bringing some localised flash flooding, where we see that very intense rain over the space of a few hours. So there could be some problems this afternoon. Now there will be some rain across southern parts of wales too, further northwest for West Scotland and Northern Ireland, it stays beautiful, fine, settled and sunny, probably seeing the weather brighten up across East Anglia for a few as we go through the afternoon. But underneath that rain in the south for some temperatures just around 1a or 15 this afternoon. Overnight tonight more rain is forecast across these southern areas. Elsewhere it will turn quite humid. That humidity will build in some areas of low cloud. Bit of drizzle, some Mist And Fog patches. So for some for East Scotland and eastern areas of england could be quite a murky start to the day tomorrow. Slow improvements as well. Eventually most of us will see some warm spells of sunshine, but not in the south. Here weve got further outbreaks of rain and again, that rain is set to be heavy and potentially thundery away from the far south, though overall its a much warmer day tomorrow. Temperatures quite widely between around 22 and 27 c. The weekend same area of low pressure still on our weather charts. The system is weakening somewhat, so rather than the persistent rain, we are looking at showers. The showers could be heavy and thundery and wontjust be affecting southern portions of the uk. The risk extends across the midlands, North Wales and into northern england, to the North West of scotland and Northern Ireland, probably having the driest and the brightest of the weather both through saturday and sunday. But that said, most of us, i think, will see at least some sunshine at times, but still hefty downpours around for england and wales into sunday. The main risk, though, over the next few hours. Watch out for that very heavy rain in the south. I have live from london. This is bbc news. Tributes and angeras this is bbc news.
