British chatshows are set to feature more homegrown stars in the wake of the US actors’ strike that has halted filming on Hollywood blockbusters and TV dramas.

Producers on some of TV’s biggest talk and daily magazine shows face a headache as actors follow in the footsteps of the cast of Oppenheimer, who walked out of its premiere when the strike began earlier this month.
