In which we find out that just like his character, Kit Harington truly knows nothing.

1. Not having read the books because they're too big, Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) was told his character was going to die by a fan.
2. Dance also appeared in the Ali G movie, Ali G Indahouse, in which he wore a red PVC skirt and a leopard print top. Lovely.
3. Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Snow) made it down to the last two when auditioning for the role of Jon Snow, but lost out to Kit Harington.
4. But Rheon really struggles with some of the scenes he has to film because of how cruel his character is.
5. Emilia Clarke and Michelle Fairley didn't play Daenerys Targaryen and Catelyn Stark in the pilot.
6. While on the subject of the mother of dragons, Clarke was once covered in so much fake blood that she got glued to a toilet seat. As you do.
7. Rory McCann (The Hound) broke an arm, a wrist, and both ankles and fractured his skull in a rock-climbing accident in 1990.
8. And back when The Hound was still hanging out with the Lannisters, punk legend Wilko Johnson (Ilyn Payne) would give McCann guitar-playing advice between takes.
