The Aeronauts (2019 Tom Harper & co-scr)

Jack Thorne's the other writer. Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones are a terrific couple, and their journey to 35,000 feet is the whole film. It's an exciting voyage, with flashbacks, rather gorgeously photographed by George Steel (The Honorable Woman, War and Peace, Peaky Blinders Season 1).

Exciting. The other people are Himesh Patel, Tom Courtenay, Phoebe Fox, Robert Glenister, Tim McInnerney, Anne Reid and Rebecca Front.

Jones' character is the hero of the hour, which is rather refreshing.

I felt for those pigeons, though, being so high up. And - butterflies? In Africa? Oh, sorry - that's another film.

I do though have to say that the line 'And so it begins' should never be written.
