From a daring first season set in a vast fantasy setting rife with political intrigue, HBO’s Game of Thrones went from strength to strength. It became the biggest and most talked-about show in the world by what would prove to be its midway point.
We know now that the soaring, gargantuan TV would not just fail to stick the landing, but skid out of control on the runway and crash into the airport. Even so, its earlier seasons are still revered by millions and years after that calamitous conclusion, people are still intrigued by the show, watch it, and follow its star cast.
Clearly, the actors were fully committed throughout, which meant that those marked for some of the epic set-piece action scenes needed to get in shape and keep fit. For some, this wasn’t a tricky switch, with their experience in combat sports ready to back them up.
