Andy Serkis says he has been “blown away” by the response to his marathon reading of The Hobbit novel. The star, 56, best known for playing Gollum in The Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit films, is under way on a continuous, live reading of JRR Tolkien’s book for charity.

The fundraising target has now been increased to £250,000 after the initial aim of £100,000 was reached before Serkis had even began the performance, which is expected to last around 12 hours.
