Bernard Cornwell: ‘Game of Thrones’ dull

Cornwell’s historical Saxon novels have been turned into eight-part BBC2 series The Last Kingdom and have drawn comparisons with the hit HBO drama based on George RR Martin’s books.
He told Radio Times: “So many characters. So many strands. You have to have large sections where the plot is explained, just have to sit there and be told what’s going on. This is very, very dull. So they put a lot of naked women behind it all.
