The power of the Iron Throne

The season 7 finale of Game of Thrones continued it's record of breaking viewership records for HBO. The episode was watched by 16 million viewers. The figures are impressive when it is considered that live TV viewing is considered unfashionable in these days of streaming. HBO will be hoping that the final season will be ready to air sometime next year. One thing that is not in doubt is that Game of Thrones has cemented it's place as the TV programme of the decade.
