has been dubbed one of the greatest tv series of all time. it is a dark comedy which looks into a wealthy family dynasty who ran a media company. critics have called it perfect and beautiful. earlier i spoke to one of the people behind it and i asked her if she ever expected it to be so successful. tia. and i asked her if she ever expected it to be so successful.— it to be so successful. no, you never do. _ it to be so successful. no, you never do. you _ it to be so successful. no, you never do, you never— it to be so successful. no, you never do, you never think - it to be so successful. no, you never do, you never think it i it to be so successful. no, you - never do, you never think it would be a hit, and we were a ragtag group of writers in a room in london, half british, half american, and we felt quite far away from hollywood and la and the action of that. the first season took time to find an audience, which often happens on hbo, but they believed in it and

that helped and it grew over time. talk to us about the concept of the writers room because many people will not appreciate the work that goes into it and many will think there is a single writer who sits at home and writes it. so there is a single writer who sits at home and writes it.— there is a single writer who sits at home and writes it. so much more than that — home and writes it. so much more than that. sometimes _ home and writes it. so much more than that. sometimes one - home and writes it. so much more than that. sometimes one writer l home and writes it. so much more - than that. sometimes one writer does work on a budget, but for a show like this that is as big and as long and is detailed and it is run by a guy called jesse and there are normally ten writers in the room for months on end coming up with the stories of the season together and then going back and going through each episode individually and coming up each episode individually and coming up with all the beats for each episode and then we go away individually and right episodes with jesse being in charge and during the final polish. jesse being in charge and during the final olish. , ., ., final polish. sometimes i have to watch it with _ final polish. sometimes i have to watch it with the _ final polish. sometimes i have to watch it with the subtitles - final polish. sometimes i have to watch it with the subtitles on - watch it with the subtitles on because it moves at quite a pace and

deeply about and i have great sympathy for what brian says because part of what you are doing, the episode in which the character leaves, it is an episode from the point of view of the children, it is their experience of how it happens, and their experience is that it is totally shocking and surprising and thatis totally shocking and surprising and that is really important for them in their story, that they feel confused and guilty about that, and do something to be shocking and surprising and out of the blue it needs to be too soon, is the definition, and a lot of people have had experiences like that in the last four years, i'm thinking of the pandemic, and where your contact with relatives and people became quite electronic and far—away and sometimes the experience was devastating and surprising and shocking and yet far away and that is what we were trying to convey. time is tight, but i'm fascinated by the idea of all the ad—libbing done on site, the act is going rogue with your permission —— the actors.

because we've got that north—easterly breeze. it's still quite breezy in the south east of england as well. 0vernight, some of that cloud will come back in across some eastern areas of england, and we'll see some patchy cloud in the north of scotland. 0therwise, skies will be clear. it's going to be pretty chilly out there as well. colder than it was last night in england and wales, 11—5 celsius, perhaps even lower than that in north—east england and south—east scotland. there'll be some cloud around from overnight first thing, it'll burn off again and we'll see lengthy spells of sunshine, bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up over the high ground in scotland and across some southern parts of england as well. but a fine day, temperatures may be a little bit higher widely, up to 20 to 22 degrees. again, cooler around some of those north sea coasts, but a pleasant day nonetheless. and sunshine far and wide, and it's high uv levels as well. we've still got high pressure in charge right the way through the weekend. there it is centred to the north—west of the uk. there's a lot of cloud in that, and that cloud is going to run across northern scotland and then push back down across the north sea into some

eastern areas of england overnight into sunday morning. so a bit more cloud around. it will retreat back to those north sea coasts, but it could stay cloudy in a few more places. otherwise, a lot of sunshine around. dry day as well. warmest out towards the west. temperatures reaching 23 or 2a degrees, but a lovely weekend for many parts of the country, and high pressure isn't going anywhere really at all next week. still got some blustery winds through the english channel and the south—east of england. otherwise, the winds will be light. this cloud that we start with across the midlands and eastern england, burning back to some of those north sea coasts. sunshine developing across more of the country, and those temperatures climbing up to 23 or 2a degrees or so. so this weather pattern is still with us and it's not changing at all through next week. high pressure will be dominant, staying dry. there will be some areas of cloud around. west is going to be best in terms of sunshine and also the highest temperatures.
