Sky Atlantic - Monday 9pm
"Game of Thrones"
There is only one thing that unites the seven kingdoms, the Iron Throne at BDBTL. House McCabe and House Abdullah are locked in a deadly chess game, Mad King Madkins is a distant memory, loyal leaders Sir Chris of Wilder and Sir Alan of Knill have positioned the Blades army, led by noble Captain Billy Sharp, in the Premier League, without having to face the dreaded "Battle of Wembley", the first prize is already won. Lord Chancer of Pigsborough is biding his time, in the broken down ruins of The Sty. Lies, deceit, suspicion? It's all here, plenty of "he said", lots of "I don't remember saying that, but you said" with a touch of "what I meant is" thrown in for good measure.
The battlefield ahead is daunting, most do not last the course, can Sir Chris and Sir Alan do what Baron Warnock of Cornwall couldn't? Can they stand amongst the giants of Premier Land, and fight the good fight in the time honoured, traditional Battling Blades manner. And if they do, who will be sitting on the Iron Throne?
