HBO look like they mean to make Game of Thrones and make it well. Good news for our American readers. Over here in the United Kingdom we’re still waiting to discover whether anyone will air this. HBO and Sky are closely alied. Hopefully Sky will pick it up. Even though it may break your heart […]
Game of Thrones trailers, teasers and pictures
In America HBO teased audiences with a look at future productions before their True Blood finale. Game of Thrones was among them. C’mon Sky. Bring it to the UK! They’ve released some videos; a behind-the-scenes look at the production with George R. R. Martin himself, David Benioff and one Sean Bean. There’s a new trailer […]
Song of Fire and Ice: Game of Thrones will air in the UK
This is great news for all George RR Martin fans in the UK. Sky, that TV giant, has bought the rights to air all of HBO‘s programs. The Guardian has the story. So what? Big Sky gets bigger? I mean; they doubled their profits this year. I’ll tell you what! This means that a Game […]

HBO has announced one more geek language. Now we can enjoy Dothraki. Dothraki is spoken by […]
Leaked pictures from Game of Thrones set
Two pictures taken just before shooting began for a Games of Throne scene have surfaced on Winter is Coming’s Facebook Fanpage. These photographs came from Doune Castle. I assume that’s the Doune Castle in Stirling – not a million miles from this Scottish blogger.
Game of Thrones promo pictures
I’m not sure how I missed this – but this is the first promo picture from the (greenlit) Game of Thrones production. It’s nearly two weeks old! I agree; it looks like a scene from the pilot. The image comes via of Winter is Coming and was surfaced by Google Reader Play. This means Winter […]
