Television production under threat
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) today warned that television production is under threat after the start of a "de facto" strike by actors.
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) is demanding more money for actors from Internet download and DVDs of their work. The existing actors contract expired at midnight today, with movie production already said to be at a standstill.
Production of TV shows such as The Big Bang Theory is likely to continue, but could be affected in the event of a full blown official strike.

Actors to strike?
One strike in a year is bad luck, but two? A scary prospect which will put fear in the heart of studio execs. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG), and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers (AMPTP), look like they will not reach agreement on a pay-deal before the deadline next Tuesday.
A strike would disrupt production of movies & television shows, such as The Big Bang Theory. The previous season was heavily interrupted by the Writers' Strike.
DVD to be released in UK?
Amazon.co.uk has posted details of The Big Bang Theory: Season 1 which seems to show that the DVD will be released in the United Kingdom.
It is not certain at this point, some of the details listed there are direct copies of the US release which are probably not going to be true in the UK. The release on a Tuesday is not usual in the UK so September 2nd doesn't look like it will be the release day.
View DVD at Amazon.co.uk, not available for pre-order yet.
