Game of Thrones<\/a>, this lighter, funnier new prequel is way more enjoyable than the dismal drama of House of the Dragon. Set 100 years before the events of GoT, the story is based on a George RR Martin novella, following the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), a sweet, courageous hedge knight (\u201clike a knight \u2026 but sadder\u201d) and his inquisitive young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). But it\u2019s not all fun and games \u2013 after all, what is Westeros without the cunning characters and grisly bits? As Duncan\u2019s journey begins, expect puppet dragons, projectile poo and a promise to win a jousting tourney. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\nPanorama: Maxed Out \u2013 The Credit Card Trap<\/p>\n
