3/ I’ll write more soon about a couple of specific scenes. A great sense of unfairness pervades the whole story. Plus – a really nice screenplay was replaced by a big, clunking behemoth of a script and deserves to be re-discovered.

2/ Profound hurt - professional (in my opinion) and personal (definitely) - caused by Richard Curtis seemingly claiming that he only took the idea of a world in which one person remembers The Beatles, and wrote everything else from scratch.

1/ Difficult to summarise (for legal reasons!) In a nutshell: high concept, seems clearly to be Jack’s (in my opinion). Best bits of Yesterday, informed by Jack’s screenplay (in my opinion – it’s all subjective, isn’t it?) Jack has no argument with credits, fee etc but….

We’re publishing a lost 19th C classic: ‘Shameless Wayne’ by Halliwell Sutcliffe. With feuding farmers and the ghost-dog Barguest, it also contains some of the most beautiful descriptions of the #Yorkshire landscape we’ve ever read. amzn.eu/d/7V4GyDX
