 began their strike, Sag members have now followed suit. Yesterday, the cast of Oppenheimer left the UK premiere early in solidarity, as Christopher Nolan said they were 'off to write their picket signs'.

'It's a situation that could really get unpleasant and it could go on for quite some time,' he told Sky News. Brian thinks the strikes could go on for quite some time (Picture: Pablo Cuadra/Getty Images) Brian also recounted a recent situation where AI was attempted to be used and warned it's not a good replacement for actual writers if the strikes do continue. 'There was a whole lot of AI suggesting what I would do which was absolute nonsense. It was a kind of jokey thing anyway, but I found it really extraordinary that they made up this scenario that doesn't exist and has nothing to do with who I am,' he recalled. This came just before Brian appeared on Channel 4 show The Last Leg, who attempted to create a Succession scene using AI for the closing segment of yesterday's show. The scene wasn't quite the usual Succession standard (Picture: Channel 4) Adam Hills played Kendall Roy, and Rosie Jones was Shiv Roy, while Alex Brooker played an alien, who crashed the meeting in the random scene. A baffled Brian told Alex to 'Oh f**k off' – we're not sure if that part was written by AI. The dialogue was also criticised by Adam, 53, w){kind=link}
