the question is do you ever feel like writing fiction in a moment where the non-fiction is so real in lives? do you ever feel out of place doing stuff like "the golden house"? >> you know, fiction is one of the great ways of telling the truth. if you think about "war and peace" as the most brilliant portrait of napolean's russian campaign, et cetera, so fiction itself is just another road to the truth. what i do think has happened, to me certainly, i can't speak for other writers but to me, is it has made me question and set aside some of the ways i was writing, you know, because i mean, i had been very associated with the kind of fantasy fabulist what is called magic realism. in fact, my previous november set in new york was a novel that had that. i thought what you were saying, i thought in a world where it is so much untruth out there, so much make-believe being propagated every day that maybe not fantasy, you know, maybe not hold the flank up. maybe there is a role for artists so at least i feel a role for an artist like me to start resteve nashi reestablishf the writer, and let's

non—fiction. you will come back. we will sit in a room this is spectacular and talk about it. dan brown, thank you for being on hardtalk. hello there. monday brought some of us something a little bit milder. that is not a sign of things to come. during tuesday, and indeed the rest of the week, we are back into this feed of northerly winds, all the way from the arctic. cold air sweeping southwards right across the country. quite a few showers, as well, and where the showers have been falling through the early part of the morning, there is certainly the risk of some icy stretches across parts of northern ireland and into scotland. take it easy on untreated roads and pavements. some of the showers across scotland will be wintry. some rain, some sleet, some hail, and some snow, the snow mostly over high ground at this stage. showers beginning to push into the east coast of england. but, through north—west england, down in the midlands, a cold and frosty start in places, with temperatures ofjust one or two degrees at 8:00

non—fiction. you will come back. when it is out there?will sit in a room this spectacular and talk about it. dan brown, we have to end it there, but thank you for being on hardtalk. hello once again. after a pretty chilly weekend quite widely across the british isles we are goign to see a change of weather tonight, albeit for a little while. it is thanks to an area of low pressure throws a great veil of cloud down across all parts of the british isles. first thing on monday there will be a wet and windy start to be had across the south. but not many of you will be scraping your cars first up. there will be other concerns, i suspect, if you are commuting across the southern counties of england and wales. in the first part of monday, simply because it is going to be really quite wet. even that little bit further north will have had rain overnight. quite windy too. so, tricky conditions. a lot of surface water and spray. into the northern half of the british isles, well, persistent rain in the very far north of scotland. elsewhere, a supply

non-fiction. you will come back.t it. dan brown, thank you for being on hardtalk. hello. a significant change on the way in our weather for the next few days. it will turn considerably colder, especially through the weekend. that said, the cold air is already moving into scotland and this morning there is a risk of some disruption, particular conditions on the road thanks to snow. radio scotland is a great place to keep up with conditions local to where you are. 25 centimetres of snow likely to lower levels this morning, 2—5 centimetres of snow likely to lower levels this morning, up to ten centimetres across highlands and the grampians. by windy start to the day and it goes without saying, a pretty chilly one as well. for northern ireland, early showers for the north—west england as well. further south, a quieter picture. still quite windy but some early morning sunshine was a bit of cloud and rain through east anglia in the south east quite quickly. a few more isolated showers for the south—west and wales. in the m

so right up our alley is scripts and so we'll be very strong in non-fiction.ost of content is about 10% of what the cost of content is with scripted, and we think we can compete pretty effectively with that, but i think one of the things that's misunderstood about our scripts deal is that in many ways we're buying i.p. and cable channels, but the other thing we're buying is free cash flow. so we will -- we will be a free cash flow machine and it will generate a lot of security for us over the next couple of years and flexibility to buy more things or to buy back a lot more of our stock over time. >> in terms of vertical integration what is the at&t acquisition of time warner do you think the doj win or will at&t win and get this deal through? >> i'm on the side lines on that what i can say, the real winner of the fact is that there is this significant consolidation is companies that earn great content. we look at at&t wanting to buy time warner and we say ka-ching. that's a real opportunity because around the world these -- the players that are in the pipe spa
