How to access specific films or actors on Sky Q

I'm sure you used to be able to type in a film name or that of a specific actor on Sky.

I can't seem to access this.

Has it gone?

@Redtildead 

Use your voice remote and say something like "Tom Cruise film".

Working fine here with voice for all kinds of films and actors.

Voice commands here;

Many of the working phrases, like 'Houston, we have a problem' listed in that help article too.

Hi,

Thank you for the replies. I don't presently have a voice control but have just rang Sky to order one.
