The Hollywood writers' strike began three weeks ago but yesterday saw talks resume between the writers and the major film and TV studios. Officially the only progress from the first day was an agreement to continue discussions today.
Reuters reports that representatives of the Writers' Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers met at "an undisclosed, neutral location in Los Angeles" and that "in a departure from the public rancour that has marked the labour talks since July, the two sides adhered to a strict media blackout."
In the meantime, shows continue to be affected with the significant series finales of Scrubs, Battlestar Galactica and more endangered. The latest show to be affected is Journeyman, currently airing in the UK on Sky One, where an episode remains uncompleted.
