Juddering transmission - what could it be?

I have a 1.6-litre Renault Megane auto which is regularly serviced.

While out driving today, car started juddering as if being starved of petrol. First a warning that gearbox needed checking, followed by one saying there was an electronics problem .

The problem continued for the 1 mile to reach my home - at a low speed - car would not accelerate. What might the problem be?
