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?

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.
