Author, film critic and broadcaster, Alan Frank's latest book on cinema, OVER THERE - HOLLYWOOD IN BRITAIN,is published this week by Bearmanor Media. It's available in hardcover or paperback editions from the Bearmanormedia.com website and ebook via Amazon and all good on-line bookstores.

It provides a fascinating and unique record and discussion of significant – and otherwise – British second features boosted by Hollywood stars and filmmakers who were then seeking post-WW2 cinema careers rather than being forgotten or, possibly even more depressingly, ending up stuck in routine made-for-television programmes.

SOON GONE: A WINDRUSH CHRONICLE
4-star review in The Guardian - WRITER: CARMEN HARRIS
18 February 2019
A wonderful 4-star review in The Guardian for SOON GONE: A WINDRUSH CHRONICLE which premiered last night with the opening episode, "Eunice 1949", by Carmen Harris. "...beautiful and epic family drama - 4 out of 5 stars." "So much is packed into each tight episode; these complex stories of intertwined lives offer tantalising snapshots of an epic family drama. The characters are so brilliant, the writing so good, these brief segments are not enough; I was left wanting to watch more. The BBC should commission the writers to develop this into a full-length series."
