My heart is pounding after every episode.. Things are ratcheting up every week. I'm so excited!

Better than the first ep. 8.

My gf, who has never expressed any opinion on Stannis one way or the other, lol'd at Mance saying 'he'll be a better King than those sitting on the IT for the last hundred years.

Her actual words: "That's gotta be a top 5 all time 'I just met you, but...'

LMAO. Speaking of, they seemed to be having a bit of a "moment" in their scene together.

Patrick Malahide just turned up in Indian Summers (episode 4). I only just spotted that Indira Varma is listed as an executive producer on this too.

The actress that played Selyse, plays The king's mom on the show. The actress that played Roslin Frey, plays the queen on the show too.

Anton Lesser was in an episode in the first series as well.

Liam Cunningham will be in the next episode of The Musketeers. He has a terrible wig :(

How is his accent in that? ;) :D

Bit weird, but then the RL politician had a very strange voice too ;)

Gemma Whelan will be in "Mapp and Lucia" on BBC1 starting on December 29th.

Mapp and Lucia was really good fun in general and Gemma had a great role. Now I'm prayer circling so hard that she'll be in S5. Damn my love for "lesser spotted GoT characters". Mark Gatiss is also one of the main actors in Mapp and Lucia btw.

Aidan Gillen is the lead in a 3 part mini series on Irish TV at the moment called Charlie, about one of our most notorious Prime Ministers. He is wearing a terrible wig (though the RL version had a ridiculous hairstyle anyway) and he's chewing the scenery. And I'm loving it. I'm not sure if the producers were going for comedy gold though..

Dolorous Ed in Nativity!

Ha I started watching that but switched on some episodes of Clocking Off that I'd recorded in the last week and he's in that as well!

Robert Pugh featured in an episode I was watching earlier on; he's playing a middle aged father of two who goes for a vasectomy only to find out he's been infertile all his life. Craster never had that problem :uhoh:

Started watching the new series of Ripper Street yesterday and one of the first characters to appear was played by Francis Magee (Yoren). Clive Russell plays a recurring character. I'm sure plenty of GoT actors will appear in future episodes as per the last two series.

Robert Pugh was in the new episode of Atlantis. He may have been in the first series as well. I don't really pay a lot of attention to this show. There was a lot of talk about him being sent into exile by the late King (played by Alexander Siddig). Joseph Altin also turned up later on. And of course Mark Addy is in the main cast.

/Continues to partake in GoT Cast Drinking Game and suffer from pickled liver.

Just spotted Noah Taylor in Peaky Blinders.

RIP Locke, you were taken from us much too soon :crying: :bawl:

I thought that was sweet about Pycelle.

That's so lovely :crying:

Iwan Rheon has been in "Our Girl" on BBC1 for the last month. I thought there was another episode but last night's one ended with a "to be continued..." rather than a "next time".

He's pretty good in it.

And Dontos Hollard in the S8 premiere.

And then Mace Tyrell was in the third episode :D

Ben Crompton (Dolorous Edd) had a very minor role in the most recent episode of Doctor Who, Into the Dalek.

Never seen the Parole Officer, which is funny because I'm in it as an extra. Stephen's role has been mentioned before and the pic of him and Lena has been posted.

GoT introduced me to Stephen, and the Tunnel revealed his range to me and increased my opinion of his acting. I loved the subtle performance of Clemence. I would like to see her in more stuff.

The Tunnel is one of my favourite Dillane performances, but then again it's one of the main times he's been the lead in something like that that. He was in a couple of TV series in 2013 (Hunted and Secret State) but really only had bit parts.

He has been in some real rubbish (I've seen most of it) but I always feel he's more "into" theatre work and TV/movies just pay the bills. So his role in the The Tunnel was a revelation. And he even said he'd be willing to make a second series. The Scandinavian version took a while to make its second series so I'd imagine if The Tunnel 2 ever does happen it might not be for a couple of years.

I probably mentioned ages ago on this thread but Secret State is the best GoT Cast Drinking Game you will ever find. :stillsick: (Ripper Street is pretty good for that too but they don't tend to be in the same episodes)

If I'd known Michelle was in it, I'd have watched Common! It was also round my way.

Definitely worth a look if you can catch it on iPlayer or elsewhere. I didn't even realise it was a Jimmy McGovern thing until afterwards but then it all made sense!

Michelle Fairley and Robert Pugh were in a wonderful BBC1 drama on Sunday 6th of July called "Common" . It revolved around the legal issue of "Joint Enterprise", which was the basis for another really good BBC drama last year starring Joe Dempsie and Stephen Dillane, called "Murder: Joint Enterprise"
