About Strike
Based on the best-selling novels by Robert Galbraith (aka J. K. Rowling), Tom Burke ("The Musketeers") stars as private detective Cormoran Strike, a former war veteran now working out of a cramped London office. Together with his assistant, Robin Ellacott, Cormoran tackles cases that have, so far, baffled the police. Though struggling with the psychological and physical toll that combat have wrought on him, Cormoran is well-equipped to delve into complex conundrums thanks to his background as a Special Investigation Branch investigator.

Senior doctors back strike action in England
NHS consultants in England have voted in favour of Strike Action in their fight to get more pay.
Some 86% of British Medical Association members backed walkouts over what The Union described as repeated pay cuts.
The Union had already announced a 48-hour walkout on 20 and 21 July would take place if Doctors backed Action .
It Follows a five-day Strike by junior Doctors - The Combination of which is likely to lead to huge disruption to services and cancelled treatments.
The walkout by junior Doctors across all services ends of 18 July.
Consultants will be providing what is being described as Christmas Day cover during their own Strike - so emergency care will be provided along with a very limited amount of routine work.
Consultant pay has fallen by 27% since 2008 once RPI inflation is taken into account, but The BMA said once changes to tax and pension contributions were factored in The Cut to take-home pay was 35%.
A major factor in this is The fact Income Tax thresholds have been frozen and The introduction of The additional 45% tax rate for The highest earners.
During 2022, average NHS earnings exceeded £126,000 for consultants - this includes extra pay for additional hours and performance.
Unlike The junior Doctors , who will be involved in The third walkout of their pay dispute next week, consultants are not asking for full pay restoration in one go.
Instead, they want to see The government to start at least giving pay rises that match inflation.
Last Year they received a 4. 5% pay increase - Less than half The rate of RPI inflation in The 12 Months to March.
Meanwhile, a ballot by The Royal College of Nursing failed to achieve a high enough turnout to give The Union a mandate to continue its Strike Action .
- also announced on Tuesday - means The long-running dispute with nurses now comes to an end.
