Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond.
Fights, betrayal, a splayed, headless corpse and so much breast and leg you’re getting sick of the sight of it. It’s Christmas all right. If you’re looking to escape the annual family massacre, find a quiet place and settle in for this festive Game of Thrones marathon.
For the next 12 days Sky Atlantic is showing the entire series up to the end of series four, with three or four episodes every night. It’s perfect for getting new viewers hooked, but longtime fans will also enjoy a refresher: from three dragons a-laying (waste to the countryside) and two siblings kissing to a red wedding ceremon-ee.
If you can’t wrest control of the TV from the kids (when you play the game of the remote, you win or you watch Shaun the Sheep for a fortnight) it’s all available online and on your phone afterwards. Lock the door to the bathroom, install yourself on the throne and have a very bloody Christmas.
