Review

Huw Fullerton

Nearly seven years after Game of Thrones ended, we’re back in Westeros for our second spin-off (following prequel House of the Dragon, which returns later this year). But this tale, adapted from short stories written by Thrones author George RR Martin, is a less grand affair than its predecessors.

The series focuses on Dunk, a working-class chap who’s become a knight — albeit a poor one — known as Ser Duncan the Tall. When his master dies, Dunk decides to risk everything at a local tournament. He’s so down-at-heel he doesn’t even have a squire, so when a mysterious bald lad named Egg offers to help, he’s not too choosy.

Westeros is still bleak and violent, but Dunk and Egg are more optimistic heroes than we’ve come to expect, brought to life winningly by two relative newcomers, former rugby player Peter Claffey and 11-year-old Dexter Sol Ansell. Together, they’re a little-and-large double act you just hope doesn’t get crushed by the ruthless nobles around them.
