As Anne Hathaway's new film One Day opens, how does a beautiful woman play a plain one? Plus: Miriam O'Reilly on ageism in TV; Esther Rantzen on being lonely; why babies are getting bigger; training or GCSEs - would some teenagers be better off leaving school at 14?; jazz singer Tammy Weis on the memories of her mother that inspire her songs; and Cook the Perfect...Gazpacho soup.

Recipe - serves four:

1kg/2.2lbs very ripe tomatoes, diced

1 ripe red pepper and 1 green pepper, deseeded and diced, plus 1/2 a ripe red pepper, cut into fine dice, to garnish

1 large cucumber, 3/4 peeled and diced, 1/4 washed and cut into fine dice, to garnish

2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed

150ml/5fl oz extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve

100g/4oz slightly stale crusty white bread, soaked in cold water for 20 minutes

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

Small bunch of mint, leaves finely chopped, to garnish

Method:

1. Mix the diced tomatoes, peppers and cucumber with the crushed garlic and olive oil in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Squeeze out the bread, tear it roughly into chunks, and add to the bowl. Blend until smooth.

2. Pass the mixture through a sieve, pushing through as much as possible, then cover and refrigerate until well chilled. You will need to do this in batches.

3. Add salt, pepper and vinegar to taste, and stir well.

4. Spoon the chilled soup into bowls. Put a teaspoon of finely diced cucumber and red pepper, and a teaspoon of chopped mint in the centre of the soup and circle with olive oil.
