All language subtitles for Game of Thrones - Greatest Moments (2018).720p.HDTV.x264-PLUTONiUM.English.orig.Addic7ed.com

The best thing I've ever seen on
television.

It's time to unleash the greatest
moments of Game Of Thrones...

The best thing I've ever seen on
television.

...as chosen by you.

A crown for a king.

From a treasure trove of epic
scenes...

I got goose bumps, actually.
..across seven explosive seasons.

My TV is coming alive.

Of feuding families...
The Lannisters send their regards.

...and cataclysmic vengeance.

These women are much more powerful
than the men.

Everybody has a motivation
to kill.

Villain or hero...
Characters...

...very quickly are taken out.

Death comes for all.

You're dead, you're dead, you're
dead.

It's perfect poetic justice.

As ice and fire unite...

Wow! That is an intense scene.

...the end game is in sight.

She's hardcore.
Who will claim the throne?

It's about survival. It's about
power. It's about revenge.

The results have landed.

So don't even blink...

I didn't see that coming.

...as we reveal
your greatest moments.

I love this show.

I was watching thinking, like,
the fire's burning, candlelight...

I was thinking this is good.

At No.25, it's Melisandre's
big bedtime reveal.

That was one of the best twists.

I did not expect that.
I didn't expect it at all.

The Red Priestess has been hot
property in Westeros.

For the night is dark
and full of terrors.

I truly believe that she believes
in the Lord of Light.

She's 100%,
she's got this blind faith

and that's why we like her...
that's why I like her.

She's enticed the powerful to reach
out and touch faith.

She's always used her sexuality

to manipulate men.

Stannis was so bewitched, he
sanctioned a terrible sacrifice.

Mother, don't, please!

The stuff that she's doing is
grim-Bo. Like, nasty.

Now, in this moment,
we see the beauty is facade,

but the magic is ancient and very
real.

She takes off the red dress and
we're thinking,

"okay,
where are we going with this?"

Then she takes off the necklace...

...and you see her reflection change
in the mirror.

What happened to the beautiful,
red-headed Melisandre?

She's got this young figure but,
behind that,

she's actually a very old woman

that's been alive for many, many
years believing in this god.

However, I feel like
that scene kind of showed us

she was starting to lose faith.

Not being, of course, obviously,
old people should have sex,

but it makes you wonder.

Like, all... She's getting sexy
with all these young men.

They can't seem to resist her,
can they?

Erm, apart from Jon Snow.

Undoubtedly a more powerful
character with that aspect,

erm, that she can manipulate what
she looks like

and how she appears to people.

She has, like, a huge wealth of
experience

and so much magic that she can make
herself incredibly beautiful.

That's very powerful.

You don't know what she'd do with
someone else and that's terrifying

cos she can have that power over
anyone.

You felt quite scared. You felt,
like, "What happened here?"

And cheated. Cheated of the glory
moment we were all hoping to see.

Bran is a fire-lighter
who started the raging fire.

Next up, at 24,

is Bran Stark's downfall.

Climbed that tower against his
mother's wishes.

He was this happy-go-lucky kid

who just liked sort of
living around the castle

and being outdoors.

Everything went pear-shaped after
that.

It's beautifully paced

in that you know he's going to find
something at the top of this tower.

Eventually, he comes across this
scene

that a young man should not see.

Being a ten-year-old boy, I don't
know if I quite grasped, perhaps,

the intensity of the scene back
then.

You can see that Jaime's having sex
with somebody,

but then you kind of think that it
must just be some wench

that he's picked up
from Winterfell.

Then, eventually, her-her face is
shown

and it's his sister.

And the strange thing about it,
he's this sugary character,

but he's sleeping wi' his sister.

At least I didn't see any of it
while we were filming. Stop. Stop.

Yeah, you certainly got that
these were strange people.

Are you completely mad?

He saw us.

Yes, all right. It's all right.
It's all right. He saw us!

I heard you the first time.

You know, Game Of Thrones, incest,
violence, whatever,

it's sort of... not normal,

but it's sort of, you know, the
language of the program now.

At the time, certainly, it was
hugely shocking.

We were steaming right ahead into
all those taboos

and we completely shatter them

and dance on them.

Quite the little climber,
aren't you?

How old are you, boy? Ten.

Ten.

Jaime is trying to please his
sister.

She's in a complete panic,
the fact that Bran has seen him,

cos she knows what it means, but he
knows what it means too.

He knows that if the incest is
discovered,

not only will he and his sister be
put to death,

but their three children may very
well, too.

It's a measure of the lengths the
Lannisters are prepared to go to

to achieve their goals

which, you know,
they'll do whatever it takes.

I think it's a fantastic moment

because it sets up the tone of
Game Of Thrones so well.

In a conventional drama, Jaime
might cuff Bran round the ear

and say, "Go away.
Don't tell anyone about this."

But no, what he does is far more
shocking.

And he does it almost with a punch
line.

The things I do for love.

There's no remorse, you know.

There's just this relish.

A sinner comes before you.

Cersei, of House Lannister...

It was schadenfreude, wasn't it?

Cersei and the Walk of Shame.

And what an awful haircut.

At 23, it's Cersei's great comedown

as she fights to hold on to her son.

She lost Tommen to Margaery.

Take her. No.

Hell-bent on destroying Margaery,

Cersei empowers High Sparrow and his
religious fanatics to help.

I am the Queen. Tommen! Tommen!

In order to get Tommen back,

she wanted to pretty much destroy
Margaery.

But she is sealing her own fate too.
Take your hands off me!

It's like Downton Abbey on acid.

Bad choice. Very bad choice.
Bad deal.

Terrible move. It was a really,
really bad gamble.

What will we find...

...when we strip away your finery?

And because she's dealing with
people of faith,

then they can't be bought.

And now comes a greater foe than
Margaery,

as they bring out the big nuns

to make Cersei confess to affairs
out of wedlock.

The Walk of Atonement
took four days in total

in Dubrovnik Old Town.

To demonstrate her repentance, she
will cast aside all pride.

Who would've have thought we
would've felt sorry for Cersei

until the Walk of Shame?
Which was heart-wrenching.

It was very, very tough for her.

Very few women could've done what
she did,

complete that walk.

I felt complete sympathy for her

and thought...

I felt absolutely zero satisfaction
in her Walk of Shame.

It's such a... such
a sexualized form of humiliation,

one that, you know, would really
bother Cersei the most of all.

Ultimately, to watch Cersei's
downfall...

...I mean,
talk about moving and shocking.

Shame.

It was really, really, an
extraordinary piece of television.

Shame. Shame.

Shame.

You really did feel for her there.

Absolute power at the beginning

to, you know, being really fragile
and humbled on the streets.

Shame. Her subjects,
the people in the city

that she completely despises,
has no respect for,

get their own back. Fuck off!

Shame. Bitch! Whore!

I hadn't expected to find it so
harrowing.

Bitch! Shame.

And people coming out of nowhere,
chucking themselves at you...

Shame.

Whore! Shame. Whore!

And, of course, we had to do every
section twice,

because we had Lena acting it

and then we had a girl called
Rebecca who was her body-double.

Bless her.

It has to go on and on and on.

This is not a short punishment.

Whore! Fuck off!

They just had pots and pots of
horrific bodily fluids.

Slut! You just thought that really
looks real.

Are you sure that hasn't been
contributed to in some way?

I think one of the reasons it makes
it such a standout scene

is because it is
utterly relentless.

Not the typical violence, you know,

a different kind of emotional
violence

against a character that
we've gotten used to loathing.

Then, suddenly, we wanna save her
from that.

You see her trying to maintain this
regal presence,

but she can't.

Shame. She's bruised.

She's cut. She's covered in spit
and fruit and shit.

It's a proper, proper destroying of
a character.

Shame.

When we reached the Red Keep
and I'm stopped and she carries on,

you can feel...

I just thought she was brilliant,
the way she played it,

that they were so tight in on her.

And the way you just see her
finally breaking down,

breaking down, as she reaches that
door.

It's good to have you back.

And then boom!

The twist at the end.

In comes mega Mountain zombie man.

I felt complete satisfaction

when she was swept up into the arms
of my own killer.

Cersei Lannister has been, for a
long time,

my favourite character on
Game Of Thrones.

I don't judge it by whether the
character's a goodie or a baddie.

I judge it by... I can't wait to
see that character on screen again.

What's in there?

Fuck off.

Charming!

And we'll have more great moments from
the Seven Kingdoms after the break.

That's when you realise nobody is
safe.

Welcome back to Game Of Thrones:
Greatest Moments

as voted for by you, the fans.

At No.22, it's the moment that
redefined TV drama

and stunned us all.

It was at that moment

you realised what Game Of Thrones
was really about

and what risks the show was willing
to take

to kind of entertain and torment
their audience.

Wrongly accused of treason

and aware that Sansa has struck
a deal to save his life,

Ned for once puts honour aside

and throws himself
on the mercy of the King.

My mother wishes me to let Lord
Eddard join the Night's Watch.

Stripped of all titles and powers,

he would serve the realm in
permanent exile.

And my Lady Sansa...

...has begged mercy for her father.

He does do
what has been suggested to him,

and that is that he does confess to
treason.

Although it sticks in his craw,
obviously, but he does do it.

Because he's been given reason
to believe that, if he does that,

okay, he may end up in the war,
but he may not be killed.

But then he didn't reckon with
Joffrey.

Sir Ilyn!

Bring me his head!

The title of it should be: 'Don't
get too fond of anybody.'

Nobody knew - not even Cersei...

knew what Joffrey was going to do
there

and that's the power of drama,
basically.

Now Joffrey's in power,

you see a whole shift in
this game of thrones.

This is the person now in control
and he doesn't have mercy

and even his mum can't control him.

When he actually says,
"Give me his head!",

that's when his mother goes potty.

That's when he really revels in the
discomfort

that he has caused every other
single person in that square.

And no-one is more distraught than
Ned's youngest daughter Arya

who bears witness to the horrific
scene from agonisingly close by.

She's very brave. She does wanna
look.

Her sister Sansa's crying, but she
is just staring at her dad,

willing it not to be.

Her desire to save her father with
direct action,

you know, is really part of her
character.

And of course defines her at least
in that moment

from her sister who had also tried
to save her father

but by negotiation.

The children are trying
to stop this happening

and it's not gonna stop.

It just brings a much more human
aspect

to a very barbaric scenario.

Once you've got Ilyn Payne walking
up the steps towards you,

that's it. Stop!

You think, well, there's gonna be
something.

Someone will shout something.

Arya's gonna get there. There'll be
something definitely.

Stop it! Stop!

Stop it!

Stop! This is not a, you know,
Robin Hood movie here,

where three guys are gonna swing
over the fence

and beat the 37 guardsmen who are surrounding
the Merry Man who's about to be hung.

I try to be a little more realistic
than that.

That's when you realise nobody is
safe in this world at all.

It's very brave, you know.

They're not afraid of killing off
some of the best characters.

The birds take to the air and,

you know, just the way it was
filmed.

It was tremendously powerful.

That was the only scene that really
has brought a tear to my eye.

That was the worst TV experience...
..of my life

up to that point,

and Game Of Thrones has given me at
least three or four more of those.

What's in there?

Fuck off.

The whole setup in the Dragonpit

was so very, very well executed.

It was absolutely wonderful.

What I really liked about it was,
right before the summit,

when all the characters reunited.

At 21, Cersei's foes come
en masse to meet her.

All these amazing, disparate
characters

and this is the first time they're
all brought together.

I've not seen you for ages.
I'm glad you're still alive.

I never thought I'd see you again,
My Lord. Supporting the enemy.

It's nice to see people who had
tried to kill people

and people who had other people try
to kill people...

'I know about you. You tried to
kill... We'll talk about it later.'

My favourite moments were the
Hound and Brienne meeting.

I thought you were dead. Not yet.

Two warriors kind of acknowledging
each other.

She's alive, Arya.

And having a lovely, little shared
moment about their murder baby.

The one that needs protecting is
the one that gets in your way.

She's doing fine. Still murdering,
yeah. Proud of her.

Every moment is full of tension.

You don't know what's gonna happen.

You're waiting for the ambush by
Cersei.

You have all these reunions from
different sides.

Good ones. Bad ones.

It was just so well set up.

Brienne of Tarth
and Jaime Lannister,

that was another nice moment.

I love it when Brienne of Tarth

and Jaime share a look.

I am firmly on

Team Braime.

The Hound meeting the Mountain.

Remember me? Yeah, you do.

I liked how he went up to his
brother and he immediately knew,

'Yeah, you're uglier than me now,
aren't you?'

What did they do to you?

Yeah, you're gonna get it.

Where is she? She'll be here soon.

Cersei and Daenerys coming
face to face for the first time,

that's, you know,
the clash of titans.

She was late. Everyone's expecting
her to come in a different way,

but she gets on one of her dragons
and she swans in on the dragon

as if to say, "Hey! I'm here.
Look at me," you know.

"I am the Queen."

You can tell she really hates it
when Dany comes in on the dragon,

she's like...

She looks like
it's a little bit tacky.

She was always gonna turn up on a
dragon.

If you have a pet dragon, you're
gonna drive it in to the pit.

We've been here for some time.

And she makes Daenerys apologise to
her.

Nice opening move.

My apologies.

It was gonna be difficult when
Daenerys and Cersei got together.

But acidic greetings are swiftly
forgotten

when the Allies play their
show-stopping hand,

presenting Cersei with hard evidence
of the true peril,

asking her to join them
to help fight it.

I didn't expect it A: To be there

or it to still be alive.

Then, when the Hound kicked the
box...

...and it just started
running out, that was wicked.

It is the visceral payoff
that we've all been waiting for.

I mean, she remains fairly cool,
considering

the zombie looked like it was about
to eat her.

The Hound,
who is this huge arsehole

who's not scared of anyone...
..didn't wanna go near it.

The Hound throws the White Walker
out, chops the White Walker in half.

Then Jon Snow comes out and gives,
like, a White Walker TED Talk.

He's like,
"We can destroy 'em with flames!"

He just gave this nice, little
demonstration

of how to take out these Whites...

We can destroy them
with dragonglass.

...while this one is like Terminator,
like, half its body on the floor...

Case proved...

...now it's over to Cersei.

Even when she stares face to face
with an undead creature,

can that be enough to get her to
move off her own personal agenda?

There's only one war that matters.

The Great War.

And it is here.

At...

...it's the moment fans have been
waiting for

since the birth of those little
fire-breathers.

Daenerys finally takes to
the skies on Drogon Airways.

On the back of a dragon has always
been the symbol

of the Targaryens coming
to claim their power.

Ever since those eggs hatched,
we just knew that one day

she was gonna get on the back of a
dragon and fly off and cause havoc.

Throughout Game Of Thrones,

there is one love story that has
gripped us all.

One girl and her dragons.

They both start as... innocents,
really

and then they inevitably get bigger
and scarier and bolder and braver

and... you wouldn't wanna cross
either of them.

Drogon.

She, of course, who thinks that
Drogon is beyond her control now,

suddenly they're reunited, which is
an incredibly powerful moment.

And Drogon doesn't let her down when
she's facing almost certain death

during a civil rebellion in Meereen.

And you think, "She's done for."

...but there's a little bit of you
going,

"But she does have a dragon
somewhere."

And woof! In he comes!

I think every viewer would've been
waiting for that,

to see those dragons used
to their full force.

Classic kind of... from the jaws of
defeat.

Daenerys has had these dragons for
quite some time now.

But that moment she gets
onto Drogon

and rides him for the first time,

that is, more than anything we've
seen her do so far,

that's her claiming her birthright.

Who doesn't get chills
when they see that moment?

All of a sudden, she's flying off.

Ha! Yeah, it's classic.

Who wouldn't want to fly off on a
dragon? Let's be honest.

The dragon riders are what the
Targaryens are all about.

That is how they wielded their
power.

She's come into her own, this
powerful woman.

She gets on one of her dragons and
she's a ruler.

Queen of the dragons.

She's a dragon rider.

She became true to her name.

She was a fully-fledged Targaryen
at that point.

It was brilliant to watch and
it was just exciting to think,

"Is she gonna get to King's Landing
with these dragons

and just, like, wreak havoc?"

This was the showdown to end all
showdowns.

In Westeros, you can't get family
therapy, can you?

The purest form of conflict
resolution is to kill your dad.

At No.19,
it's the nerve-jangling showdown

between Tyrion and his father

who not only sentenced him to death
for a crime he didn't commit,

he also slept with the woman he
loved.

Tyrion...

...put down the crossbow.

I think it's very significant,
that he's on the toilet.

It sums up that he's trapped and
he's vulnerable.

No guards in the loo.

Not when you're sitting having a
crap, there's no guards around.

It's very humiliating for him as
well. It's a private moment.

This is how
you want to speak to me, hm?

Shaming your father has always
given you pleasure, hasn't it?

All my life, you've wanted me dead.

Yes and you refuse to die.

I respect that.

He lives with a conundrum all the
time,

does Tywin.

I'd never let them execute you.
Is that what you fear?

Because it's very apparent that, of
his three children...

...Tyrion is the most compassionate,

the most humane and the most
intelligent.

You're a Lannister.

You're my son.

It's so tightly wound, this scene,

cos Tyrion's obviously...
he's at the end of his rope.

What's brilliant about him, he's so
well portrayed,

you can see yourself doing this.

I loved her.

Who?

Shae.

Oh, Tyrion...

...put down that crossbow.
I murdered her...

...with my own hands.

Doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter?

She was a whore.

And Tywin was like, "Who?
The whore?!"

And, you know, still insulting him.

You know, doesn't respect him and
his love.

We'll go back to my chambers and
speak with some dignity.

I can't go back there. She's in
there.

Are you afraid of a dead whore?

Tywin really has had it coming to
him.

The audience is expecting some kind
of payback.

You shot me!

And the fact that that payback
is at the hands of Tyrion

with a crossbow,
it's kind of right and proper.

I think Tyrion's sitting on years
and years and years and years

of anger and frustration and
resentment.

And then, after he's been shot by
the first arrow,

Tywin's true colours come out.

You're no son of mine.

I am your son.

I have always been your son.

When he releases that arrow,
he releases everything into him.

It's really so silent, so powerful.

Whilst sitting on the lavatory.
What a way to go!

It's a great death scene,
I have to say.

Coming up: The quest for power
reaches boiling point.

Viserys has to be the most
deluded, arrogant character

in the history of TV. Dany, please!

Welcome back to our countdown of the
25 Greatest Moments Of Game Of Thrones

as decreed by your good selves.

At No.18, it's Season 2's
epic battle of Blackwater.

And Tyrion's tactic of wiping out
the opposition in one fell swoop

has almost worked.

But with King's Landing
still under siege,

it's time for him to step up
and rally the beleaguered troops.

In that kind of world, as a man,

you have to be tall and strong
and powerful.

And he's powerful
but in a different way.

He's fighting with his mind...

...more than with his sword.

Prepare to land.

The dwarf has played
his little trick.

I think in Game Of Thrones it shows
that anything can happen.

You have handsome princes
who are the best swordsmen

get their hands cut off.

You have children thrown from
the top of towers.

And here you have Tyrion who is
always mocked,

finally have this heroic moment.

They say I'm half a man but what
does that make the lot of you?

He doesn't look like a warrior.
He doesn't look like a kingmaker.

There's no way he could assume
the position of Tywin.

But then Tyrion demonstrates
that he has enormous courage.

He was the best person to speak to
the people of Kings Landing

and to get them to protect
their city.

Because he knows what it's like
to fight.

He knows what it's like to have
your back against the wall.

The only way out is
through the gates.

And they're at the gates!

There's another way out.
I'm going to show you.

Come out behind them
and fuck them in their arses!

First of all it's incredibly brave.

He doesn't have to fight.

There's no expectation
because of his disability.

He steps forward and says, "I am but
half a man. But here I am beside you."

It's what I think a once-more-into-the-breach
speech would really be like.

They're not going to follow him
if he shows weakness.

And he wants to prove himself
as a strong man,

leading an army.

So he has to put on a good face
in order to lead the army.

He's good at talking, isn't he?

He could talk himself
out of any situation

and he could sell anything
to anybody.

Don't fight for your king
and don't fight for his kingdom.

He's always got an intelligent thing
to say to somebody.

Or a joke to make.

Don't fight for honour,
don't fight for glory.

Don't fight for riches because
you won't get anything.

We don't expect to see him the leader,
but making comments at the side.

But suddenly, "Wow, it's him."

If he gets in it will be
your houses he burns.

Your gold he steals.
Your women he will rape.

I was lucky enough to be right
next to him when he was doing it

and I don't know how many times we
shot it and re-shot it

but every time Peter did it
it was incredible.

When he says these words I wrote
for Tyrion,

it's just like I pictured them
in my head,

just like I heard them in my head
when I was writing them.

These are brave men knocking
at our door.

Let's go kill them!

When I saw that I was like, "Wow.
I wanna fight with him as well."

He was really good.

At No.17 it's a golden oldie
from Season 1.

As Viserys gets his reward
for trading his sister for an army

in order to reclaim the Iron Throne.

Go on. Feel the fabric.

He's basically pimped out
his sister.

And he's quite proud of that.

Daenerys was this innocent girl,

who was protected. But not.

Um... sold actually by her brother.

She's the only bargaining chip he
has.

He doesn't have any wealth any more.
No armies.

But he has HER, who he can trade
to this Horse Lord.

Khal Drogo's army. I would let
his whole tribe fuck you.

All 40,000 men and their horses too.

If that's what it took.

He was horrible to her
probably her entire life.

And she would never be...

She never would have turned into
who she did

unless he was dealt with.

Much to her brother's dismay, Daenerys
and Drogo end up getting on rather well,

and she becomes pregnant
with his son.

Jealous, desperate and drunk, Viserys
finally decides to call in his debt.

Daenerys!

Viserys has to be the most deluded,
arrogant character

in the history of TV.

Why would you start a fight with
Khal Drogo of all people?

The man is huge. And it's his tent
and his friends are around.

So you're never going to win.

Keep away from me.
Viserys, please.

Very often you get a scene like this

where you think, "It's all about to
go horribly wrong."

Normally when someone asks for
something they can't have,

and Viserys is asking for the thing he will
never be allowed to have, which is to be king.

Everybody wants the
power of rulership.

Um... of being a king or queen.

Tell him I want what was bargained
for or I'm taking you back.

And all the time we've been asked that
question - "Who would make a good ruler?"

You can keep the baby.

I'll cut it out
and leave it for him.

She's realizing and feeling
this inner strength inside of her.

He just completely underestimates
not only Dany but Khal Drogo.

What's he saying?

He says yes.

You shall have a golden crown...

...that men shall tremble to behold.

She's really beginning to find,
"This is my role.

This is where I'm going and Viserys
is not part of this journey."

This is when you realise that she's prepared
to sacrifice anything for the greater good.

There was nothing more satisfying
than seeing Khal Drogo

play along with him.

And just say, you know,
"Tell him he can have it."

Just to see Viserys' face.

That was all I wanted.

What was promised.

The stillness in him
and the knowing is petrifying.

He has all of the strength and he
knows exactly what he's going to do.

You don't exactly see it coming but you
know something bad is gonna happen.

It's probably the most gruesome death in the whole
of Game Of Thrones which is saying something.

Look away, Khaleesi. No.

Daenerys shows absolutely no
remorse.

She absolutely despises him.
And there is no love lost.

She watched him die... and I'm not going
to say she enjoyed it but he deserved it.

A crown for a king.

It's brutal.
Even the noise he makes as he lands.

I can hear it now.
I love that sound as well.

Dunk! When his head hits the floor.

It's so good!

It's almost been like, "The
Night Kings have planned this.

They have waited for the dragons
for this very moment."

And also, poor little dragon.

At No.16, it's a moment we thought
could never happen.

Daenerys and her precious dragons have
ventured beyond the Wall to rescue Jon Snow.

She wants to go and help him
and fight.

He and his band of men are surrounded by
the Night King and his Army of the Dead.

One of his generals hands him
like... almost this javelin.

It's like, "Cheers, mate,
for that spear."

The Night King's so calm.
This is why he's so scary.

We've learned to love those dragons
cos we've seen them from babies,

hanging out on Daenerys's shoulder.

And then she finally gets them
to these monsters.

You kind of think, "Who's going to
be able to kill a dragon?"

Don't kill the dragon!

It seemed really easy for him
to just kill the dragon.

He got that spear set up
and lined it up.

And that was it, gone.

I'm sure Daenerys's heart
just drops.

I thought it was amazing to see
and really sad.

It was horrendous.

You've seen the dragons since
they were really young.

And it was so sad

when you see them disappearing.

Just went down and you saw the eye
close.

And Daenerys who felt it.

It was heartbreaking. You really
feel for the dragon.

And you think,

"Right, well,
we won't see him again."

Oh, you do!

I didn't even think about him
turning the dragon.

It was only when the dragon was
being pulled out the ice I was like,

"Of course! Now he can turn it."

The Night King... killing this
dragon...

...and then bringing it back to life
in order to kill.

There was a lovely moment
where I looked at the Night King

and was like, "This guy's
a real problem."

This dragon has gone over
to the dead side.

When Viserion reveals a blue eye,

you kind of figure something's
going to happen.

I find the White Walkers very
interesting.

What do they want? Why have they
been dormant for such a long time

and suddenly they're starting
to come out of their zone?

You've got a wall that's been
standing for 8,000 years.

I still thought that there would be...
a battle to be had at the Wall.

No battle, just demolition.

Swift and icy.

And then you hear something.

For me it was obvious he'd be
riding and gets dibs on the dragon.

He didn't show much emotion but I
know deep down he was, "Awesome!

I hate horseback!

Ah, yeah! Whooo!"

That took that wall down fast.

Wow!

The dragons would appear to be
the ultimate weapon.

Oh, that's just changed
the whole ball game here.

When that happened you thought, "This takes
us on a whole different journey now."

Wow! And breathe.

And come back for more trial
and retribution after the break.

I almost cried.

You're watching Game Of Thrones
Greatest Moments,

as voted for by you, the fans.

It's the first time we really see
Dany take control.

You start to see like...
proper bad-ass Dany.

At 15, it's the mind-blowing moment Daenerys
completes her transformation from innocent girl

to warrior queen.

All by stepping into Khal Drogo's
funeral pyre

along with three dragon eggs.

She has just burnt one of her
enemies.

But it underlines Daenerys's
new-found ruthlessness.

And willingness to wield her power.

At the point at which she walks into
the fire she has no family left.

So she's lost her brother,
her husband. She's lost her child.

And she's made a decision.

It's almost her walking into
her... destiny, I guess.

She... In cold blood, really?

Strap the witch and
completely emotionless.

Watched her screaming.
Think she quite enjoyed it.

That showed she's a force
to be reckoned with.

Obviously walking into the fire,
it looks suicidal,

and in a way a part of her is dying,
her innocence is dying.

There's a possibility she's walking
to her death.

If you've watched the show closely
there are moments even from early on,

she's in really hot bath water where
she doesn't feel anything.

When she sees her brother die by
having molten gold poured on his head,

she's actually quite scornful.
He was no dragon.

Fire cannot kill a dragon.

Even though you suspect she might live, you
don't suspect dragons are going to come out.

I thought for a split second she was
going to turn into a dragon!

But of course she's going
to make it.

Thanks to the Targaryen dragon blood
running through her veins,

Daenerys survives the inferno.

And when she rises from the ashes,
she's not alone.

What was very important
when we were staging that scene

is that these creatures are
extraordinary creatures,

the likes of which have not
been seen in hundreds of years.

And so when they're born and
you see that look on lain Glen

who plays Mormont's face

that look of just astonishment.

As if dinosaurs were roaming
Earth again.

As if you and I saw a Tyrannosaurus
Rex just right there.

That's what this is.
It drops hints all the way along

that the dragons are where
the real power lies.

So when they emerge you know this is
going to change everything for ever.

I was on set for some of the scenes
we filmed in Malta.

It's all done with
computer animation

so I'm seeing Emilia acting out
these scenes

with like a green tennis ball
on a stick.

But seeing him when the CGI wizards got
hold of him crawling over her shoulder...

It was perfect. Yeah.

Blood of my blood.

They're frolicking on
her naked body.

Three of them clearly her children.

You couldn't get
a more powerful emblem

of the strength of this woman

and that's why all the men
bow down in front of her.

You don't see if she's naked or not.

Because you just see the power
and the pride in her eyes.

Such a powerful thing to see her
standing there, clothes burnt away.

She's completely unharmed.
Her beautiful baby dragons.

It was a powerful moment.

You see this adult woman in
the most vulnerable position

but with this growing strength
from the inside.

And everything's been left behind.
It's been burned away.

They worship her. When she's with the
dragons she IS the mother of dragons.

And a pretty scary one.

It was just as powerful watching it in the
flesh as it was seeing it back on screen.

It's such a difficult scene to watch
because I loved Tyrion.

He was one of the good guys.
He IS the good guy!

It was so emotional.

We all of us should feel guilty

what we have done
and what we are doing to him.

It's the trial of the century.

Tyrion Lannister,
wrongly accused of regicide,

is about to take a deal which would save his life
but see him living out his days at the Wall.

But then the prosecution wheels out
its star witness.

I almost cried. Really.

I didn't want to do it.

This man stands accused of murdering
King Joffrey.

What do you know of this?

I know that he's guilty.

He and Sansa planned it together.

Silence!

It's completely unjust of course.

You know. None of the audience
believed for a minute

that Tyrion is responsible
for Joffrey's death.

I talked to the producers
and I said,

"Please could you just change it
somehow?"

She really loved Tyrion.

And now she's there and lying.

I was his whore.

I beg your pardon.

You said you were his...

His whore.

I cried in that scene.
I get emotional thinking about it.

Seeing her come in and betray him
like that

and calling herself a whore

when you know she's so much more
than that to him is so difficult.

Shae.

Please don't.

I am a whore. Remember?

For Tyrion, his lover's betrayal
is too much to bear.

It triggers an outburst which leaves
the court - and us - reeling.

Do you admit you poisoned the king?
No.

Of that I'm innocent.

I'm guilty of
a far more monstrous crime.

I'm guilty of being a dwarf.

You're not on trial
for being a dwarf.

Oh? Yes, I am.

I've been on trial for that
my entire life!

He's absolutely right.
That is what it's about.

He finally has an opportunity
and an audience to address

what everyone has been thinking
about him his whole life.

And... here's a man who...

...risked his life...
for these people.

Who's always fought against the
prejudice he faces from his family,

probably from everybody
that he meets.

And he's innocent.

I did not do it.

I did not kill Joffrey

but I wish that I had.

Watching your vicious bastard die
gave me more relief

than 1,000 lying whores.

Seeing him at last
saying what he really thought,

which we know he must have been
thinking for the whole of his life.

And to hear him doing that at that
scene was almost orgasmic to watch.

I wish I was the monster
you think I am.

I wish I had enough poison
for the whole pack of you.

I would gladly give my life
to watch you all swallow it.

It's so moving and it's so powerful.

It just sort of pours out
of... Peter's heart.

And it's an amazing, moving scene.

At No.13, it's the moment that had
fans obsessing for a year

over the fate of one of
Westeros's greatest heroes.

Jon Snow's one of my favourite
characters. He's the dude.

He's the ultimate good guy.

The guy who's fought so much.

Who's loved and lost. Who has
maintained his honour. His dignity.

A lot of people watch it
for Jon Snow's stories.

He's one of the most likeable
characters in the show.

He's most likely for a teenage girl
to have as a poster.

He's the One Direction of Westeros!

I feel like he is a good leader.

And that everyone should listen
to what he says.

But not only did they
NOT listen to him,

they turned on him for making
a deal with the Wildlings.

The fact he's done that and gone
against all the Night's Watchmen

that have died over the years
defending the Wall.

The core of them are hurt by that

and wanted to see him suffer.

They see him as a traitor
which you see.

If it was the 50th episode of
Game Of Thrones

we should have known better than to
think Jon Snow was safe.

When I saw the cross with "traitor"
written on it I thought,

"Oh, no. This isn't going to happen,
is it? They're not gonna kill him."

And then he just gets stabbed.

Who saw that coming?

Shocked.

They stabbed him six times
in the heart.

Horrible horrible people.

Even though they were calling him
a traitor,

actually they were being traitors
by what THEY did to him.

I was very upset by that.

I mean... that was dark.
I found it really upsetting.

He wasn't allowed a brave death.
It was a tragic betrayal.

He gave his life to
the Night's Watch.

And they repaid him...
by killing him.

Why, Night's Watch?
Why did you kill him?!

That really hurt me as it did with
most fans of the show.

As Jon's watch ended, fans anguished
over whether or not he would return,

eagerly anticipating the start of
Season 6.

That for me, as an actor
and as a person,

was the hardest secret I've ever had
to keep for an entire year.

I love how they left it on
a cliffhanger from Season 5,

to wait a year to find out.
That was great how they did that.

It's about the Lord Commander.

The former Lord Commander.
Does he have to be?

It was possible to bring people back but we
don't know if Melisandre can do it or anyone

that's in close proximity to
Jon Snow is able to do that.

I never had his gift.

Have you ever tried?

You can see it in her face. This God
she's believed in for many years,

she's starting to kind of
disbelieve in.

And so it's a conflicted Melisandre that
carries the hopes and dreams of everyone.

To see his naked body laid out with
cuts and bruises.

It was really a lot to take in.
A lot to take in.

I think she's starting to question
everything she's ever believed in.

Please. But when her attempt fails,

the viewers' agony is prolonged.

That little moment of defeat that
Melisandre has. You see the defeat

travel down from thought into hand.

As she thinks, "No, I haven't been
able to do this.

It's lost."

The brilliance of the whole sequence
of everybody leaving. It is over.

It's failed.

And you're thinking, "That was
a waste of time, wasn't it?"

John being there, it was a nice
kind of reassuring moment.

The fact that he's their guardian,
guarding his master. Even in death.

We finally realise it's going to
work when the wolf goes... Hello?

And that brilliant
overhead shot of him.

You just sit there hoping it's going to happen but
I did not believe he would come back to life.

And then it's that moment of...

And he draws breath and you're...
Yes!

And he goes, "What the fuck
am I doing alive?"

There he was. Jon Snow has returned.

There's nothing we like more than
saviours coming back from the dead.

When he made his vows to the Night's
Watch he was theirs until he died.

And now that he's died he's free
of those vows

and he can support whoever he wants
to and fight for whoever he needs to.

Coming up after the break...
a dragon and a wolf,

a snake in the grass...

...and one man and his dog.

Good doggie.

We've already seen some corkers.

And there's plenty more to come.

At No.12, it's decision time for
Sansa.

The Stark family reunion
threatens to turn sour.

Have my sister brought to the great
hall.

The Starks are
finally back together.

But you feel they're about to get
torn apart by Littlefinger.

He's been whispering in ears and
very clearly plotting something.

Where did you get this?

Littlefinger gave it to me.

Littlefinger is so evil.

You'd see him in the shadows
with his little moustache.

He'd be... Hmmm.

He pretty much set in motion

everything that's happening in the
Seven Kingdoms.

He thrives on chaos.

I think it's been his
strongest tool in a way.

And he used to own a whorehouse.

And his latest scheme is to turn the
Stark women against each other.

I thought it had worked when Sansa
called Arya into the courtroom.

They sowed enough doubt about
Littlefinger splitting the sisters.

You do believe that Arya may be in
trouble at that point.

They've been at each other's throats
since they got back.

Are you sure you want to do this?

It's not what I want. It's what
honour demands.

Don't let this happen. They've only just
got back together. Are you kidding me?

You stand accused of murder.

You stand accused of treason.

How do you answer these charges?

Lord Baelish.

What?! Yes!

Ha!

A great moment where, for once,
he's at a loss for words.

I couldn't... He couldn't believe it
either.

They pulled the wool over HIS eyes!

Oh, they had him!

We've seen him lie and betray and
accuse.

And suddenly, the spotlight is
turned on him.

There's nowhere for him to run.

Oh, Littlefinger!

They're confused.

Which charges confuse you?

That was so well set up, so well
executed.

And came as a complete and total
surprise.

You murdered our aunt, Lysa Arryn.

You pushed her through the Moon Door
and watched her fall.

Do you deny it?

Sansa lays it out
ruthlessly and clearly.

The conflict between the Starks and the Lannisters,
it was you who started it. Do you deny it?

It is thrilling to see a character

who's been put upon the whole way
through start to take control.

I deny it.

None of you were there to see what
happened.

None of you knows the truth.

My favourite moment in the trial of
Baelish

was when Bran gave his testimony.

You held a knife to his throat.

We see that shock and surprise play
out on his face.

That's the nail in the coffin for him.
There's no way he can escape now.

You said 'I did warn you not to
trust me.'

Bran's ability to see into the past
becomes crucial.

Baelish is like 'Oh, I didn't
know...

I didn't know you could do that.
That's awkward.

Agh! Please help me!'

Sansa, I beg you!

He immediately went to begging.

Just goes on his knees. 'No!'

'Please!' Right at the back of the
throat begging.

'Please!' This has to work.

Littlefinger, even when he is doing
that,

you still feel like he's trying to
work an angle.

I love you.

More than anyone!

He's entranced by her.

Maybe love is too strong a word for
Littlefinger.

But he's certainly obsessed with
her.

And this whole fancy Sansa's mother

and now fancying Sansa.

Come on. Dude!

But Sansa is finally ready to cut herself
free from her abusive protector.

Sansa and Littlefinger has been
enigmatic. And frequently disturbing.

She was listening, taking all that
on board.

She knows how to play a few tricks
and games of her own now.

The pupil becomes the master.

Thank you for all your many lessons,
Lord Baelish.

I will never forget them.

Sansa!

That must have felt so good.

Arya's got pretty ruthless now.

It's a shocking death. She slashes his
throat and he's still trying to talk.

All that blood is coming out onto
the floor. Horrific.

I...

She watched her dad being executed.

Now she's an executioner.

A scary circle completed there.

Ah, gosh!

He's finally not going to be
whispering in any ears any more.

At No.11, we celebrate the unlikely
and whirlwind courtship

of two great leaders.

Jon Snow and Daenerys, it had to
happen.

Good people, both doing things for
the right reasons.

They make a good power couple.

But it's going to be interesting to
see who is really going to rule.

I was born to rule the Seven
Kingdoms.

And I will.

You'll be ruling over a graveyard

if we don't defeat the Night King.

It began with a power struggle.

They're all so good, aren't they?

They seem to be sort of... They're
the good guys.

You want them to come together

and to rule the world.

But they can't!

It would be too perfect.

Little did we know the sparks were
going to fly

and they would find themselves
attracted to each other.

And after she supported his quest to
fight the Dead with great sacrifice,

Jon was smitten.

She lost the Dragon for him.

Now his heart is involved.

But this is a love story with a
sting.

It's typical of the show

that you've been wanting them to
become lovers

and you get the loving moment as
you're totally given the information

that you're watching incest right
now.

A brilliant twist.

It's so wonderful to see the two of
them come together.

And then you've got this revelation

that they're related.

The sex scene was intercut
with the story being unearthed.

What a fantastic reveal it was.

Through Bran as the medium.

Bran turns love detective.

And reveals to us that Jon is actually
the son of Rhaegar Targaeryn.

The older brother of Daenerys.

Okay, what's happening here?

Hang on a minute. Oh, no!

Of course, yeah. Incest again.

You're sleeping with your nephew,
girlfriend!

It gets even sexier. He's having sex with his
auntie and his little brother's watching.

The whole thing was weird.

How will Daenerys react when she
finds out?

She's got a nephew! She's got a
fucking nephew. You know what I mean?

The interesting thing is we, the viewers,
have discovered this via Bran.

But Jon doesn't know it yet.

And the fact that Jon Snow is actually
legitimately in line for the throne now.

'He's never been a bastard.

He's the heir to the Iron Throne.'

There might be a lawyer present for
that sit-down.

That's awkward for her.
'Yeah, by the way... Mm...

It's me.'

It does have certain implications,

possible implications,

on control of Daenerys's dragons.

Actually, you should be humbling
yourself to him.

Because he's the king.

Oh, and by the way, he's your
nephew.

It is one of the best moments of
Game Of Thrones.

It is one of the best moments.

I think a lot of cheers went up
around the globe.

At No.10, it's the glorious moment

that Sansa plays judge, jury,

and executioner.

Sansa.

Ramsay Bolton, the stuff he did to
Sansa,

he took psychotic nature
to another level.

Though defeated in battle,

Ramsay is still
cocky, still goading.

Is this where I'll be staying now?

He's got a brilliant survival
instinct.

Trying right until the very end.

And he says some really horrible
things to her.

Absolutely still trying to get into
her head.

You can't kill me.

I am part of you now.

He had such belief in his power

over her, that he thought
that she wouldn't be able to.

But Sansa's done with
being damsel in distress.

She has the most incredible
character arc.

She starts as an innocent girl.

She gets taken as a captive.

The fairytale has been beaten from
her by successive tormentors.

Sansa has learned some painful
lessons along the way.

Things aren't like she's been told

in songs and stories that meant so
much to her as a kid growing up.

She escaped Joffrey and the
Lannisters

only to be duped into marriage
with a greater monster.

It's horrible what happens to her.
Brutal.

Some pretty awful stuff
at the hands of Ramsay.

And finally, she and we get our
revenge on him.

Now Ramsay's time is up.

Finally, she got control.

And she was able to say

'I'm a strong woman. This is what
you've done to me.

It ends here. It ends here.'

Your words will disappear.

Your house will disappear.

She really has suffered a lot.

And I think her core now
is as hard as stone.

All memory of you will disappear.

There was only one way to kill him

and Sansa found the right way to do
it.

That is sweet. That is sweet.

It shows a lot about how Ramsay's
mind works.

My hounds will never harm me.

He has this weird arrogance

that he feels invincible,
he doesn't think he can die.

'They're not going to eat me.
They're my dogs.'

They are loyal beasts.

They were.

Now they're starving.

The dogs come in and you can hear
the panting and the sniffing.

That was beautiful.

I've still got that image in my
mind.

Very fitting, I thought.

Down!

Down!

He could have turned into a whining
coward.

It was better that he wasn't. Gave
him a bit of nobility.

Down!

Down!

It's a pretty sweet moment when the
dog takes a chunk.

Aaagh!

Ned Stark told her 'You're not allowed
to turn your head.' She's ruthless.

She's her mother's daughter and her
father's daughter.

A Stark through and through.

And her strength is
finally coming to the fore.

It's her being a Stark, but it's
also her saying power is muddy.

His best friends consumed him.

People all over the world,

it's like...

Good doggy. Not long enough. Not
long enough.

Personally, I would have liked

to see the dogs get down
to the bone maybe.

Or from above. In a wide shot.

She's a character that
will surprise people.

She's not what she seemed.

She's hardcore.

She's going to do some damage.

Because she's had a nightmare.

Boom! Yes, Sansa, it's your time.

Let's take a break to refill our
goblets

and toast our enemies' demise.

But do hurry back for some
out and out carnage.

The characters, you're dead,
you're dead, you're dead.

From seven tumultuous seasons.

Sansa...

A glimpse of these creatures

is where it all began in season one.

We see them before the titles
in the very first episode.

And people talk about them as if
they're just mythical creatures.

But we've had to wait
until season five

to see the White Walkers
unleash their full might.

At No.9, it's a big moment
for the Night King.

It starts oh, so quietly.

Jon Snow has ventured north
beyond the Wall to Hardhome

to urge Wildlings to join him.

Jon Snow is trying to get all the
Wildlings out of there.

And then we come.

Shut the gates!

There's no way that shutting
the gate is going to keep us out.

From zero to a hundred miles an hour

in the space of a second or two.

Yaah!

The battle scenes were so vicious
and real.

It was quite savage.

Aaagh!

During the attack, the Night King
is up high on a ridge,

watching it with some of his
commanders.

Not fighting, of course.

He wouldn't need to, not with his
best soldiers down there.

And it's now that our hero finally
comes face to icy face

with the enemy he fears
above all others.

It's the battle that we've all been
waiting for.

There's this amazing fight between
the pair of them.

It's his stillness. How rigid
he was as he jumped down.

I thought, oh, my God! He's
terrifying!

They're bursting through doors and
walls. And end up outside.

It's very rare we see a scene

on anything, movie or TV,

where we really don't know what's
going to happen next moment.

Every moment is completely
unexpected.

It's that moment of
realization the viewers have

at exactly the same time
as Jon Snow has.

Longclaw, his sword, the Valeryan
steel, can kill White Walkers.

Yaah!

That is a monumental moment
in Game Of Thrones

because that changes everything.

The Night King sees Jon
kill one of his best men.

He's observing what's going on.

I think it's with a look of
curiosity.

There's a curiosity and intrigue
with who this Jon Snow character is.

But it is a fleeting victory.

Jon Snow is about to witness the
full might of his enemy's arsenal.

They're not just wandering around
killing.

They really are battling. They're
fighters.

They pile over the cliff.

There's this absolute avalanche of
bodies.

The Undead pouring
over the cliff face.

You think, this is it for everybody.

Or they're going to put up
a hell of a fight.

There's real horror in that. But
what a spectacle it was too.

All of a sudden...

They're crucial to the White
Walkers.

Terrifying. An army that will do
anything.

Has no fear, even of death,
obviously.

Cos they're dead.

I watched it four
or five times in a week.

I held my breath every time.

Heavily outnumbered,

Wun Wun the giant smashes a path for
Jon and the Wildlings to escape.

He picked up the biggest flaming
log he could and started using it.

Hitting whatever he could as fast
and as hard as he could.

Then, as Jon is forced to beat a
retreat,

Ol' Blue Eyes ventures down
for his curtain call.

That great moment at the end
where I raise my arms.

When I read that in the script, it
gave me goosebumps.

It's a great moment.

One of the greatest moments I think
I've ever been involved with.

He very deliberately is looking at
Jon Snow when he does this.

'Come at me, bro' kind of moment
where he raises his hands.

It was... amazing. Absolutely
amazing.

What more terrifying thing can you
see

than a whole new army suddenly come
from the bunch you just killed?

It's a challenge to Jon.
'Look what I can do.'

How do you fight that?

He's seen the real enemy and there's
a lot of them. And they're coming.

You don't have a chance.

If you're going to deal with Cersei,
you've got to take her out.

High Sparrow wanted to have this
trial to get her to be judged.

That's just not happening. Not
happening.

You saw her walk of shame.

At No.8 comes the Exocet payback.

You make her walk naked through
the street, you watch your back.

Be prepared for her to strike back.

Cersei is meant to go to her trial.

You see Tommen looking really
nervous.

Margaery getting ready.

It's so elegant

and so intelligently structured.

They are the bells of doom.

It's like a heartbeat...

...banging.

It's daunting.

Gathered in the High Sept to the
Tyrell family and High Sparrow.

In fact,
all who have crossed Cersei.

Then the no-shows begin.

Tommen wanting to leave.

I'm late for the trial.

The iron giant. 'No, not going,
kid.'

Even he must have known at that
point that something was up.

And there's only one person
who could construct something

and that would be his mother.

Once the Queen Mother's trial is
concluded,

brother Loras is free to leave.

Where is the Queen Mother?

High Sparrow obviously didn't know
who he was dealing with.

Show her the way.

That moment when
Lancel spots the kid.

The score, as it gets sort of
operatic.

The creepy kids.

Killing Pycelle, I was just riveted.

I was riveted by every aspect.

Beautiful. That whole moment was
beautiful.

That quiet menace that she had.

Love her. Love her.

Hate her. Love her.

But also, everyone in the Sept

as they gradually started to
realise.

There's something wrong.

Margaery knows what's up in an
instant.

Cersei is very clever.

She was always going
to have a way out.

We all need to leave.

That was when my stomach was like,

oh, man!

She always was going to have some
sort of dastardly plan.

Because we're told, we accept it.

The flame is green.

It's another brilliant invention.

There's fire.

But there's wild fire.

And wild fire is just worse.

I got goosebumps actually.

The moment they wouldn't let her
leave,

that's when she was 'Oh, here we
go.'

Oh, man.

This is going to go down!

That was brilliant.

The Lannisters, they do revenge
in a big way.

It's revenge plus.

Bravo. Bravo.

Pure victory, isn't it?

Pure victory.

I think maybe after that,
she thinks she's unstoppable.

But her victory has
a terrible price.

She thinks Tommen's still safe
up in his bedroom.

She's wiped out pretty much all of
her enemies in King's Landing.

She loves it. She's just drinking
wine.

Big smirk on her face.

She's a bad mother.

She's a bad mum.

Oh! I didn't... I didn't see that
coming.

I didn't see that coming.

The king is dead. But now it's long
live the queen.

She accepts very swiftly her fate.

Once she loses her final child.

Absolutely gutted about Joffrey.

Like, inconsolable.

Then really, really upset about her
daughter.

Was a bit like
'Oh, well. Now I'm queen.'

It doesn't matter the nature of the
behaviour.

The fact that a woman has managed
to achieve that position

and get that much power against all
the odds.

If Tywin had been around,

he would probably have
been... reluctantly proud.

You best buy a new hat.

Because after the break,
it's wedding season in Westeros.

A royal wedding is not an amusement.

Welcome back to our
celebration

of death and destruction across the
Seven Kingdoms.

As we count down your 25 greatest
moments.

One of the ongoing themes
in Game Of Thrones

is you're happy to see somebody's
comeuppance,

but at the same time, nobody would
wish that on their worst enemy.

I think everybody who watches
Game Of Thrones

was hoping this day would come.

There must have been great cheering
across the realm

the day that Joffrey died.

At No.7, it's the wedding,
which is everybody's happiest day.

Except for the bridegroom.

He won't make it to the last course.

Very good, very good, off you go!

I love the people that you hate.

He was so good at what he did, he
made you despise him so hard.

I've never hated anyone as much as
I've hated Joffrey.

A gold dragon to whoever knocks my
fool's hat off!

I hate you so much,

I want you to live
and do more stuff.

So I can hate you for longer.

Probably one of, if not the, greatest
television villain of all time.

He is a bully. He's a miserable kid
with absolute power.

Everyone, silence!

Just when you think that it can't
get any more ridiculous

and he can't be any more rude and
awful,

he brings on his dwarf show.

I give you...

...King Joffrey!

It's awful because you're watching
him

being a total arse.

And nasty.

The theatre play that
he puts on beforehand.

Yes!

Margaery is playing that game with
Joffrey.

She's playing up to it. 'I love it
when you kill loads of things

or when you do your weird stuff.'

Uncle, you can be my cup bearer.

Seeing as you're too cowardly to
fight.

Your Grace does me a great honour.

It's not meant as an honour.

The way he treats Tyrion
is totally despicable.

He sees it as an opportunity

to wield his power because he can.

'Be my cup bearer. Pick that up.'

The way he treats Tyrion and
everybody at that table,

he's just hideous.

I said kneel!

The kind of evil that Joffrey...

And the kind of pain that he'd
inflicted

on everyone, on Tyrion, on all...

People in his family. The whole lot.

He needed to be punished.

After three and a bit seasons of
Joffrey's evil antics,

his chickens, or in this case
pigeons,

have finally come home to roost.

My hero!

He was pushing it far too far.

But then you realise why.

It's because they're setting it up

for this wonderful moment

where he begins to choke.

It's nothing.

He's choking! Help the poor boy!

When I saw it, I saw how brilliant
it was.

It wasn't a slashing of the throat.

He didn't have his hand cut off or
anything like that.

It was a very, very painful
45 seconds for him.

The death of Joffrey was really
exciting.

Help him!

I thought it was absolutely
magnificent.

It obviously really hurt.

Jack Gleeson did an incredible
job with that scene.

The look in his eyes,

it gave the scene a poignance.

I was like, why wasn't he punished
longer?

Why was it so short?

Maybe we weren't meant to be
satisfied by his face turning purple

and Cersei weeping over the corpse
of her dead son.

My son! It wasn't enough!

It wasn't enough.

Personally, I would have liked his death
to have been slightly more drawn out.

It must have been painful, and he
did bleed from the eyes.

But you could have given me another full
minute of Joffrey choking on his own blood.

I would have been happy with that.

At No.6, it's the moment

where Daenerys throws a surprise
barbecue for the Lannisters.

It just reminded you of why you
really want dragons.

After sacking Highgarden
and stealing all its gold,

the Lannister loot train
is homeward bound,

ready to pay their debts.

It starts off so sort of slow

and peaceful with Jamie
and Bronn chatting.

Listen.

Bronn first hears the noise of the
Dothraki.

And the horses come over the hill
with the Dothraki

and you think, oh wow.

You see Jamie going 'Oh, shit.'

Get back to King's Landing.
I'm not abandoning my army.

You're the commander, not a damn
infantryman.

It's the moment where
you go 'I told you so.'

Only a fool would take on the
Dothraki on an open field.

The screaming hordes of Dothraki.

Spears up!

Those poor Lannisters, I really
wanted to feel for them.

I wanted you to know that they were
the best kind of Roman army.

They were organized and they were
strong.

Then those Dothraki come.

It's alarming.

That lot comes over the hillside,

hundreds of them, whooping and
yelling.

They're coming at tremendous speed.

Slaughtering everything in their
path.

And that's just the Dothraki.

That's without a dragon.

Over the top of a hill comes this
bloody dragon.

Oh, my God!

What is this?!

Wow.

That is an intense scene.

It was so bad, I actually started to
feel sorry for the Lannister soldiers.

I don't think they were aware that
there was going to be a dragon.

It's a one-two punch that
these poor guys can't take.

They're running
but there's nowhere to hide.

Because the dragon is slaying them
with all his fire.

Daenerys attacking the train

shows her cunning and her strategy.

It's a brilliant move.

But it also takes her into danger.

Shoot!

I love Daenerys.

She's one of my favourite
characters.

It's almost like the further
people are pushed,

the more they stop thinking about the
individual consequences of their actions.

They start going 'Maybe we're going
to have to kill all these people

to get where we need to get to.'

When I saw Daenerys, I'm like,
that's my girl!

Everything, literally, going up in
smoke.

It's like bringing in an F-16
to a World War One battle.

It's true, it's a weapon of the
future.

This is one of the first times

we're down there in the middle of battle
when there's dragon fire everywhere.

But the Lannisters have a special
weapon of their own.

Qyburn's scorpion is over there.
Go and get it, then.

I can't shoot with one hand.

Tell you who the MVP was. Bronn.

Bronn was the star of the show.

Bronn gets on the scorpion.

Which looked like it should have been
manned by maybe ten people, it was so big.

I don't want Bronn to die.
It's real edge of your seat stuff.

Come on, you fucker!

You care about members
of both sides in that battle.

Boom! Daenerys's dragons are not
invulnerable.

They didn't kill him.

But they bloody nearly did.

When Tyrion arrives mid battle and looks
out on this incredible scene of carnage...

...he's all of us at home watching.

He wants to root for his queen, but
then his brother's down there too.

I don't think Tyrion has been in a more
difficult position in his entire story

than watching Jaime during this
battle.

Daenerys is there next to the dragon
and then Jaime thinks,

'Oh, this is my... This is the
moment.'

Flee, you idiot.

You can see the pain on Tyrion's
face here

as Jaime charges Daenerys...
and what he says to him.

You fucking idiot.

He's terrified and thinks he's going
to lose his brother.

He's there riding and Daenerys just
looks at him.

And the dragon's like, 'Not today!'

Phew! It was fantastic.

Jaime, what are you doing, mate?

I wouldn't have even done that if
you had two hands.

At number five, it's a cold-blooded
ambush of the great and the good.

I remember getting on the Tube.

The whole first page two and three
were pictures of the Red Wedding.

And everybody on the carriage was
reading about that. It was amazing.

I came out of the room and I walked
through.

Everyone said, 'What's wrong?' I said,
'I've just watched the Red Wedding.'

I watched it in my room and it was
pitch black.

I went outside cos I needed some light.
I needed daylight to cleanse me.

Having broken his pledge to
marry Walder Frey's daughter,

Robb Stark makes amends by offering his
Uncle Edmure to marry in his place.

Catelyn and Robb and his wife and all
the others... Nobody saw it coming.

It's almost like a seed of hope

within her heart at that point...

that possibly they have taken a turn
for the better.

The first moment that initiates the
change of thought for Catelyn

is when the band strikes up.

If she was an animal and she smelt
blood, this was the start of it.

What is going on here?

The tension is built so brilliantly
in that scene, it really is.

There's something not quite right.

I feel I've been...

remiss... in my duties.

The more bonhomie he exudes the
better

and the hospitality.

And underneath is bubbling this...
He can't wait for the moment.

He almost taunts Catelyn, doesn't
he?

He knows it's about to happen.

Roose gave her the weirdest like,

'Mmm-hm?!' Kind of like...

'Mmm?!'

And he's revelling in
that, actually.

So that's his cruel, sadistic side.

He knows all along, as he's chatting to
Catelyn before that, what's gonna happen.

Just casually glances down at this
sleeve

as if saying, 'I dare you. Go on.'
And she peels it back.

My king has married and I owe my new
queen a wedding gift.

Why would you wear chain
mail to your wedding?

What is the purpose of chain mail?
To prevent you getting killed.

Robb!

And it all kicks off.

I knew what to expect and yet I
watched it like...

I was screaming at the television.

Absolutely screaming at it.

Just that first move. Bosh. Loads of
times.

Argh!

Argh!

No-one's safe.

All the characters. You're dead,
you're dead.

Ugh! Arh!

It's insane.

Everything that we've come to expect
and love from Game of Thrones.

The whole goal there was for me to
build it up

to the point of the most jocular,
most happy, most powerful moment

and then pull rug out from under the
audience

and hit them in a way that they'd be
emotionally scarred. That was my goal.

It was a bit of, like, dinner-time
theatre for him.

It's the cruelty of it and the
relishing of it.

And it's the fight for survival
right up until the end.

There's still something honorable and
powerful and wonderful in that grief.

Lord Walder. Lord Walder, enough!

She's just visceral, isn't she?
She's wild.

For her, it's not even about her own
life at that point.

Let him go

or I will cut your wife's throat.

At every stage of this scene you think,
'There is going to be some kind of bargain.'

Maybe there's some hope or
redemption.

I'll find another.

It's as easy as that for him. Just
as simple as that.

He's just wonderfully heartless.

But it has a certain wit about it.

Mother.

The Lannisters send their regards.
Uh!

One of the most famous lines in the
whole show.

I'm gonna let you know this
information just before I kill you.

Um...
and it's swift and it's brutal.

And the only point that she goes,
'Fuck it'

is after she watches her son get
killed.

Arhhhh!

The horrible caterwaul that comes
out of her.

It just sticks with you.

I mean, it's very real.

Her resignation when she's standing
there.

It's just a beautiful stillness, a
peace. A sort of surrender.

Extraordinary TV.

So much loss, so much pain.

And we've got absolutely oodles more
for you after the break.

Arrhhh! It's anguish. Utter anguish.

Welcome back to the cruel world of
Westeros

and your greatest moments from seven
series.

At number four, it's Arya's face-off
with Walder Frey.

She's been waiting for such a long
time,

such a long time, for her revenge.

Walder's a big scalp on
the orphan's kill list

for hosting the Red Wedding
slaughter of the Stark family.

Walder Frey.

She's there. She's at the Red
Wedding. She's outside.

Powerless that night, it would take
three seasons of savage schooling

before she'd be back to play
assassin.

Arya was arriving when her family

were being murdered at the Red
Wedding.

Arya was on the back of the Hound's
horse

when she saw her brother's body...

...topped by a wolf's head.

She had to basically take this anger

and keep it.

And she had a lot of time

to think about how she was going to
do this.

The Faceless Man gave her the power
of disguise to ambush victims.

Arya's one of my favourite
characters.

She's gone on this mad journey

to becoming a bad-ass assassin.

She doesn't seem like a kid from
a...

...kind of royal family any more.

She's definitely been on a different
path.

And now Arya's cooked up something
extra special for Walder.

Revenge is a dish best taken cold.

And she did coldly and calmly and
coolly

and it wasn't like, 'I've been
waiting to do this.'

I thought she did it brilliantly.

Where are my damn moron sons?

Black Walder and Lothar
promised to be here by midday.

They're here, my lord.

You wonder if you're hearing it.
'Where are my sons?' 'They're here.'

To get Walder Frey back in the same
place,

you know, where the Red Wedding took
place,

and to feed him his sons in a pie,

that takes a lot of planning. That
takes a lot of time.

And that takes a lot of hatred.

It's very Shakespearean, as so many
of these things are.

They weren't easy to carve.

Especially Black Walder.

She feeds him his children

in the hall where her mother was
killed.

It was a fantastic twist and a bit of
Mission Impossible in there as well.

Yeah. And he couldn't believe it. He
was thrown, a doddery old man,

and he didn't know what hit him.

My name is Arya Stark. I want you to
know that.

The last thing you're ever going to
see

is a Stark smiling down at you as
you die.

Do it, Arya. Do it.

Uhh.

I was delighted

when Arya finally got to Walder.

I wasn't expecting it,

but it was like for like, there's no
doubt about that.

Uhh!

'I liked the fact that there was so
little dialogue.'

He didn't get to do a farewell
gurgling, ranting speech or anything.

The thing about Game of Thrones,
even the really good people

become quite twisted and psychotic.

'I literally cannot wait
now for her and Cersei to face off.'

I can't wait.

I'd never heard of 'trial by combat'. I didn't
know you could get people to fight for you.

Trial by combat - you can get
someone to fight for your honour.

So whether you're wrong or not, as long as
they win the fight, that's what matters.

At three, a masterclass in the perils
of taking your eye off the prize.

It's the Mountain and the Viper.

Tyrion is on trial for killing
Joffrey, which we know he didn't do.

Tyrion's life now rests in the hands
of his champion - Oberyn Martell.

He's the Red Viper, he's an amazing
killer.

I always drink before a fight. It could
get you killed. It could get me killed.

But, I mean, if I didn't drink I
wouldn't have been agile.

Today is not the day I die. Mm.

Ellaria has total faith
in the Red Viper...

her lover's powers as a fighter.

But the minute she sees the
Mountain, she doubts it.

You're going to fight that?

I'm going to kill that.

With the Mountain representing the crown,
the odds are stacked against Tyrion.

He was enormous!
Grrar!

I think she suddenly has a sort of flash
of what could happen, what might happen.

Don't leave me alone in this world.
Never.

Then you've got this great little
fight...

...against this little guy
who's a little bit too cocky

and this giant guy who's a little
bit too angry.

Have they told you who I am?
Some dead man. Rrarr!

Oberyn has a massive grudge against
the families.

I'm going to hear you confess before
you die.

You raped my sister. You murdered
her.

You killed her children.

Say it now and we can make this
quick.

Rrarrr!

The one thing that he's ever lived
for is to avenge his sister's death.

And he knows that now that the
opportunity is presenting itself

there's no question that he will get
what he wants.

And he does... kinda.

Rrrarr!

The way he moved like a snake.

Arghh!

The whole thing was very sexy and
also very terrifying.

You killed her children!

Rrarrrh!

And he wants to expose, you know,
these criminals publicly.

No, you can't die yet. You haven't
confessed.

That's far more important to him
than killed the Mountain.

Say her name - Elia Martell.

It was very much like
David and Goliath...

if David was overly cocky and didn't
just get the job done.

Who gave you the order?! Say her
name!

I know you're angry about what he's
done to your family,

but can you stop with the spins and
just kill him?

Say her name.

He just got cocky. In that last
minute he got cocky.

And I think the problem is is they
were cocky. They are cocky.

If this was nowadays he
would have had a selfie stick

and tried to take a selfie, 'Hey, I
beat him.' He was doing that stuff.

By this stage you know very much
what show you're watching.

So you're expecting it not to go
well for the Viper

cos he's talking too much.

So, from that point on, I thought, 'Just shut
up. Get him. Kill him. Please don't do it.'

Say it!

I'm like... I can't watch. I'm like
this.

'I can't believe it's gonna happen.'

Ah, yes, just... smashing
his head.

We all know what happens next. Oh,
God, it's awful.

Elia Martell. Arghhh!

For him to actually tell me what he did
to her right before he crushes my face...

I killed her children then I raped
her.

...it's that darkness that it sends
you to bed with at night.

That we all seem to love!

It culminates...

...in a piece of excessive violence,

you know.

I mean, a man's head being squashed
like a melon.

Then I smashed her head in
like this!

That's quite a lot of energy

to do that, that disgusting thing.

And then they messed it up. He
messed it up.

And that 'Arhhh!' - it's anguish,
utter anguish.

It was one of the fantastic
deaths, I have to say. I'm sorry.

You're hereby sentenced to death.

It wasn't the wine, it wasn't the
helmet, it was the 'blah, blah, blah.'

Grab a quick snack but come straight
back because we're about to reveal

the number one greatest moment

in the whole Seven Kingdoms.

That was the most cinematic thing
I've ever seen on Television.

Welcome back.
We're closing in on the top spot.

But, first, let's find out what you voted
the second greatest Game of Thrones moment.

At number two, dig deep for pain.

It's the big loss of a huge fan
favourite.

Hodor.

Hodor has been such a great, great
person.

He's been a great character, he's
been a great servant to Bran.

Game of Thrones is a world of hate
and fight and Hodor's just Hodor.

He's just all for the love. It's
great.

He's the only innocent character
there, I believe.

I believe. I think he had no agenda.

Hodor. It's all right, Hodor.

There's a character that is wholly
good

and deserved absolutely nothing of
what happened to him.

But Hodor wasn't always known as
Hodor.

Willis, come here.

Which we discover when Bran is taken back to
Winterfell of the past by the Three-Eyed Raven.

Hodor?

Not always a man of few words,
he was once the Stark's stable boy.

If there was any character that
needed

further delving into their
backstory, it was Hodor.

And what a backstory it was.

...and lowers it when he's
going to dodge, m'lady.

Hodor talks.

It was so compelling because we've been
tracking that relationship for so long

and those two have really been this
beautiful... allegiance.

But while Bran is enjoying his
history lesson,

the White Walkers have come for him
and have arrived en masse.

They have evolved and they are
getting bigger and stronger

and there are more of them against
us.

And it's terrifying.

Ooh, I don't like the Night King.

Does anyone like the Night King?
He's a bastard.

Um, yeah, he's an incredible
character. So scary.

Get Bran and run!

It's got action...

Arhh!

...it's got gore, it's got sadness.

It's got pretty much everything that we watch
Game of Thrones for in that one moment.

It is literally my favourite moment
of the whole show. It's wicked.

And it reveals a big secret.

You have to wake up. We need Hodor!
Hodor. Hodor.

Bran is unaware of what's going on.

Bran, we're all gonna die!
Bran, wake up!

That's just terrifying.

Skeletons falling from the ceiling. There's
White Walkers killing the Three-Eyed Raven.

Leave me.

One by one, Bran's companions lay their
lives on the line to protect him.

I felt sad for them, especially
Summer.

Summer's been with us right from the start.
She makes a huge sacrifice as well.

It's just madness. Madness.

Go!

Leaf was like, they're coming so
fast that she needs something.

She needs to do something to delay
the process.

She realizes that if it means that
he could survive I'll do it.

Everyone has basically just give
in... in order to give way for Bran.

But it is Hodor's final selfless act
to ensure Bran's survival...

Hodor, hurry! Argh!

...that leaves a gaping hole in the
viewers' hearts.

For a lot of people, especially the loyal fans
who've been following it from series one,

that payoff was a huge one.

I didn't realise what it was gonna
look like

and then when I saw it it kinda hit
me.

Hold the door!

I practically had to drag my jaw off the
floor because it was such a huge moment

and that was a real honour

to be the one who, indirectly, gives
Hodor his name.

With Bran simultaneously
straddling two timelines,

he unwittingly gives Willis
a glimpse of his own fate,

altering him immeasurably by
shattering his young mind.

The way it's shot and the way it
keeps cutting in to Bran

back with young Hodor...

Hold the door!

...it's really traumatic.

Hold the door!

Even though I knew what was going to
happen, I found it so sad.

It was a completely pure act of
protection.

His life becomes a circle at that
point,

which is an unbreakable loop in
time, which is tragic.

Hold the door! Hold the door!

Suddenly, it's like a jigsaw moment
that everything makes sense.

Brilliant symmetry.
Brilliant symmetry.

Hold the door!

'Hold the door.'

The bit where they sort of disappear
into the snow,

he realizes, I think, at that
moment, 'That's it.

They've gone. I've done my job.

But I'm still not gonna let go.'

Hold the door! Hold the door! Hold
the door!

It just showed, like, just pure
love.

Hold the door!

It was so heartbreaking, especially
because Bran's

really one of the one few good
innocent characters.

Hold door!

And then it turns out that, inadvertently,
he's caused his best friend's breakdown

and then his death.

Hold door. Hodor.

Hodor.

It doesn't get sadder than that.

And now - drumroll, please...

it's the moment you
voted number one.

The ultimate northern showdown.

Bastard v Bastard.

This is what Game of Thrones does.
It sucks you in.

It builds up. Because you knew this
moment was gonna come.

It's the classic good versus evil.

Jon Snow versus Ramsay Bolton.

They've always been after their
father's acceptance.

They've always been looked down at
as being a bastard.

So I think they really understand each
other and they've both risen very high

in the world

when, really, the odds were against
them being bastards.

You invested in Jon Snow. He's died
and he's come back to life.

Ramsay Bolton is a crazy, evil,
demented, wicked, wicked person.

He's the biggest bastard of all
time.

I hate the character. You know, his
presence

really does overcome you even just
watching it through a screen.

The thing is is that Ramsay's a lot
more cunning than Jon.

And Jon's instantly outmanoeuvred
with Ramsay's opening gambit,

setting the tone for the battle to
come.

Ramsay has his own way of doing
things, doesn't he?

Run to your brother.

But then that's the Boltons. They're
not physical fighters.

But they're in your mind.

They're absolutely in your mind.

He was deliberately missing the
first four or five arrows

to give the young kid and Jon Snow
some hope.

Zigzag! Dude's shooting arrows at you
and you're running in a straight line.

It cuts you off at the most
passionate point.

It was devastating. Really
devastating.

It was just great to be able to be a
part of something

that was obviously so filled with
passion and emotion.

With yet another Stark lost,

Jon realizes he's played right into
Ramsay's hands

and is stranded in no-man's land
without his army.

And then he's like, 'Well, you know
what? Fuck it.'

And I loved that moment. That moment
of realization.

Arhh!

I'm not normally a fan of action
sequences

but this was, hands down, my favourite
bit of TV that I think I've ever seen.

It gave you a really amazing sense
of what it's like

to be Jon in that battle.

They're ripping heads off, stabbing each
other. Horses are coming at Jon Snow.

That was the most cinematic thing
I've ever seen on Television.

You could really understand what
battle meant.

You read about big battles where the
bodies are piled up and piled up.

And it's just... For me, the idea of
being in a battle like that

is just a nightmare.

I'm sure a lot of people perished in
that way.

And then, terrifyingly, the Bolton
forces outflank Jon Snow's

and enact the crush.

When they surrounded them and then
they started crushing them,

I thought, 'This is it.'

How is this gonna end? This can't
end in any other way.

Epic. Epic TV.

They were being driven into the mud.

Jon Snow was being suffocated
under the bodies... of his own men.

Jon Snow is almost buried alive.
He's almost trampled.

And it's so fantastically shot.

I don't think I've ever seen a
battle done like that.

It was... it was totally intimate.

The suffocation of it. You couldn't
not engage with it emotionally.

The audience feels it with him. You
just feel utterly claustrophobic.

The mud. Covered in mud. And it was
all blurry.

I was like, 'It's over. I don't know
how he's supposed to get out of this.

I know that he should do, but I
don't know how.'

But when he does burst forth and
take that huge gasp of breath...

...just as he did when he was
resurrected,

it's a nice mirroring. It's him almost
being reborn for a second time.

And then, when all hope is lost,

the cavalry arrives to snatch
victory from Ramsay's clutches.

Sansa!

I think what was genius about that
finale

was that no-one saw it coming.

Jon Snow wouldn't have won the
Battle of the Bastards

without Sansa leading the Knights of the Vale,
along with Littlefinger, to Jon's rescue.

Defeated on the battlefield, Ramsay retreats
to Winterfell to cower behind the walls.

But he hadn't reckoned on the might
of Jon's battering ram.

Hodor was famous for holding the
door.

Wun Wun is famous for banging them
down.

He knew he wasn't gonna make it past
that battle.

Before if you're going to go out, go
out in a hail of arrows.

After all the loss, there is one
final satisfying moment,

as Jon gives Ramsay a stark reminder
of who rules the north.

Ramsay was eventually going to get his
comeuppance. He'd lost all credibility.

Still trying desperately to cling on
to some semblance of strength

in front of Jon Snow.

Jon Snow just flattens him, smashes
his face in.

It was a moment of
pure, unbridled joy,

not the kind of thing that Game of
Thrones delivers very often.

I thought that was it for him.

I thought he was gonna kill him
there and then.

He's still got that wry smile on his
face.

Which is so frustrating.

He was a bastard to the end.

Well, there you have it. The 25
greatest moments.

The good, the bad and the ugly,

just the way you voted for them.

Queens squared off,

whispers were silenced...

...and a dragon was lost.

And now, like all of Westeros,

we wait for the glorious coming of
Season 8.
