Thinking about downloading from Sky On Demand. Any recommendations. I like reading that kind of stuff, so should be up my street.

i'm not one for anything on tv that lasts more than 30 mins but i watched all 30 of these in 2 weeks

Please excuse the stupidity here , but is sky on demand free with sky + box? . Also whats it downloaded to - the box or a memory card ? Blush   Looks like something I will watch non stop also - Enjoying the Vikings season 1 at the moment , anybody else seen it ?

On Demand is free, but you can only watch content for channels that you subscribe too. So if your package includes Sky Atlantic, you will be able to watch GOT.

It is absolutely superb, a triumph of TV. Home grown too. Much of the early episodes in Winterfell were filmed in Ireland.

Series 4 starts on April 7. I can't wait.

And yes, it's downloaded to your box. Is yours a Sky HD or just a Sky+?

Watched Series 1 Episode 1 just now. Promising start, plenty bloodthirsty, lots of 'how's your father' etc and a good cast.

As good as anything on TV.  Not quite true to the books - which are great but occasionally rambling.  It would be irritating if he died before resolving issues.  He's fat and 'indulges' so that's a possibility.  We should worry we worry about total fiction.  Still much of the world's talent is dedicated to amusing us (for a price).  Got to go.  The dog wants a biscuit.

Both the series and the books are excellent imo.

For some reason I've set myself the challenge of reading all the books in Spanish. I am, consequently, pleased to announce that my knowledge of medieval weaponry Spanish has advanced beyond even that of the average Spanish person.

Seriously, test me. Dagger? No problem, it's a daga. Breastplate? Are you having a laugh? It's a peto. Quiver? Well, that would be a carcaj, or alternatively an aljaba.

the series is tip tipperty top.
my wife wouldnt watch it though .. she must have some hang up about me enjoying something. (babe, the wire is ace you gotta watch ... no.. babe the killing (danish) is ace you gotta watch ... no)
liked watching the red wedding reactions on youtube. They dont mess around knocking off main characters.

I have this weird thing for that giant knight woman... she's strangely hot. I must have strong women issues.

GOT is brilliant.

But the best has to be Breaking Bad !
Report Shrewd_dude • March 24, 2014 8:18 PM GMT
Got fed up with it in series 3 when they were trudging around in the snow for ages.  One of those series which something always threatens to happen but never does and has so many characters that theres too much jumping about from place to place meaning the plot doesn't progress much each episode.

Can watch it all here without the annoying 10 ad breaks on Sky Atlantic.

The most frustratingly slow programme I have ever watched.  Watched the first two seasons when they came out. Always just building up to something which finally transpires in a very good finale to end of second 2 and really looked forward to the 3rd season. Gave up on 3rd season after 2 episodes when it originally came out. Then a second time 6 months later and now watched half the season which I could sum up the significant events in about a 5 sentence paragraph.

I'm only on Series 2, Episode 2 and just discovered that all the older series have been removed from On Demand. Cry
Report treble • June 29, 2014 5:05 PM BST
JOCI,

My official advice to you is not to torrent, but to get a free 1 month trial of Amazon Prime. They are on the instant video service which is included. Just make sure you cancel within the month or you will be billed 70 notes.

If you've had a free trial already, you can just sign up to the video service for £5.99 a month until you have finished watching them. Great other stuff on there too. I've just started watching Deadwood and Ripper Street.

i think its well worth watching the throne cast programme that follows each episode on sky Atlantic it explains things

that happen in the episode or bits about the characters I don't know if its on demand though
Report colupaul • June 29, 2014 7:43 PM BST
I give up on Thrones about 3 episodes into the latest series... there's been some great stuff in the earlier series... it's just too slow for me... that blond bird has been marching round the desert for eons... and all the new factions that have come in to it... where did that little **** of a king's younger brother come from???  The whole things gonna last for another few years yet... could well be brown bread just as the last series comes out... what a waste of time it would of all been!

Bit gutted series 6 of Sons of Anarchy has not come out over here... the only other thing I'm watching is Hannibal... totally unbelievable but compulsive viewing just the same...

Have loads of things on the go, and rotate them...

Braquo
Those Who Kill
Hannibal
24
Banshee
Utopia

etc etc

Only really tend to watch one episode / programme each evening.
