Just curious - since there is a British AEA, is there also a British version of SAG-AFTRA, AGMA, other performers' unions?

This is from the British Equity website

"Equity is the only UK Trade Union to represent artists from across the entire spectrum of arts and entertainment. Formed in 1930 by a group of West End of London performers, Equity quickly spread to encompass the whole range of professional entertainment. Today our membership includes actors, singers, dancers, choreographers, stage managers, theatre directors and designers, variety and circus artists, television and radio presenters, walk-on and supporting artists, models, stunt performers and directors and theatre fight directors."

So it seems like they are pretty all-encompassing.
