Actually the BBC strike should be good fun, especially if BECTU achieve their aim of “making screens go blank.” Jeremy Paxman has already said he won’t cross picket lines to do Monday's edition of Newsnight, and I can't wait to see what an apologetic BBC2 will offer up in it's place.
Anyway, prepare yourself for next week's fun & games by reading up on TV Cream's great round-up of broadcasting strikes, including the 1979 ITV strike which took the entire network off the air for three months.
