Hollywood is on strike.

Around eleven thousand screenwriters have put down their pens and picked up a placard instead, after negotiations between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers over a new contract broke down.

As writers take to the streets, the strike is set to impact most film and TV shows over the coming weeks, and potentially months as it drags on

So what do the writers want – and are the big film studios likely to give in to their demands?

Today, New York Times entertainment reporter Brooks Barnes joins Damien from Los Angeles to explain what this strike means for your favourite show.
