Go behind the scenes of the Battle Of The Bastards

Surely one of the most epic medieval battles ever committed to screen?.

*SPOILERS...OBVS*

The penultimate episode of each Game Of Thrones season has beheld many incredible moments for the almost six season-old TV show. In fact I would argue it's what keeps us watching throughout each season a show which at times spins its wheels to an almost painful degree.

I wonder if people will ever tire of it though. Anyway, I digress. Last night's bastard versus bastard battle lived up to the build-up, in what was surely one of the most epic medieval battles ever committed to screen - be it cinema or television.
