Saxons and Danes renew hostilities as the epic historical drama returns.

‘Game of Thrones is the number-one show in the world right now, so it’s a compliment,’ smiles Alexander Dreymon, who stars as wandering warrior Uhtred, as he talks to TV&Satellite Week on location in Hungary, where the historical drama is filmed.
