We like to open a season with a bit of industrial action and this season is no exception. At the time of recording, Equity UK was awaiting the results of an indicative ballot on strike action. Would performers be prepared to refuse to be scanned on set?

The outcome on 18th December 2025 was a landslide. Turnout was high (over 75%) with a staggering 99% agreeing to strike if negotiations failed with PACT, the UK trade body which represents the majority of Film & TV companies.

So, what might that mean going forward?
