HBO's Game of Thrones Season 1

Me neither !!!  Hubby refuses to pay for TV (other than the licence fee)

At least you'll be able to see the episodes after they air on sites that specialize in streaming telly shows, and for free.  Here in the US we have Hulu.com and Casttv.com and a few other sites where you can watch aired episodes of nearly all the telly shows, some for all the seasons they have been on.  I've come across some UK sites like those but they aren't viewable for me here in the US.

LORD of the Rings star Sean Bean will bring a touch of Hollywood gravitas to Belfast this weekend when he attends a special performance of the new musical celebrating the life of one of Northern Ireland's greatest sporting icons.
Bean is among the long list of well-known sporting personalities and celebrities set to attend the George Best Foundation Charity Gala Night performance of Dancing Shoes -- The George Best Story this Saturday at the Baby Grand Opera House.




Quote
It is understood that during a break from filming, the 51-year- old approached some members of the cast of Dancing Shoes in the Crown Bar and asked if he could get tickets for the show.

Charles Dance has been cast as nobleman Tywin Lannister in HBO's upcoming epic "Game of Thrones."

A wealthy lord and head of one of the most powerful clans in the realm, Tywin is one of the most memorable characters in the series of George R.R. Martin novels that begins with "Game of Thrones." Tywin is father of the despised Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) and the calculating twins Jaime

At HBO’s summer Television Critics Association presentation the Game of Thrones teaser was shown and the execs talked briefly about the series. Most importantly, HBO reaffirmed their desire to launch the series in Spring 2011. Possibly as early as March!

 Owen Teale replaces Derek Halligan as Alliser Thorne

HBO has confirmed that Owen Teale will be taking over the role of Alliser Thorne, previously held by Derek Halligan. Teale is, as we reported, already in Northern Ireland and has begun filming his scenes. No reason has been given for the recast

On this topic, I just saw a spy report over at another forum that mentioned that Mark Addy and Aiden Gillen are being rather friendly on set (interacting), whereas Sean Bean is very serious and just paces.

But what does this tell us? Is Sean Bean just arrogant and unfriendly? I don’t get that impression from the interviews I’ve seen, etc. Rather, my impression is that Sean Bean gets very into character, and prefers to stay that way on set. To me that’s professionalism rather than rudeness.  Lex
