Seven years ago I spent a week in Matera watching Bond, Madeleine and Primo do their thing. I also remember pitching Barbara Broccoli on the idea of Callum Turner as 007 and then seeing him at the No Time To Die premiere.

Given writer-director Andrew Patterson has a new film out soon — The Rivals of Amziah King — it's incredibly annoying that Amazon have made his terrific debut The Vast Of Night unavailable. Even more so when streaming it on Prime was the only way you could watch it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEiw...
