VIDEO Game of Thrones season 5 in 6 minutes

Game of Thrones is back for its sixth season next week, and if you can't quite remember what happened last April-May here's your recap.

Be warned, this is absolutely full of spoilers and also features some very fast talking. Get your listening cap on.

Ok, so we're all up to speed. This season will have material which doesn't have anything to do with George R.R. Martin's long delayed books, though the creatives have the full support of the author and have discussed a potential ending for the entire show.

It has been said recently that HBO plans to end the series after season 8, which would mean we're only going to get to spend three more seasons with this short lived lot. Pretty much everyone will be dead by then, surely?

Game of Thrones Season six kicks off in the States on the 24th of April, 2016 and is on Sky Atlantic in these waters on the 25th.
