Not that I’m suggesting that this week after Christmas is all about lying around watching TV all day (ahem), but I thought I’d follow up on Karen’s instructions to watch out for Titanic-related trailers on your gogglebox on Christmas Day…

(By the way, in case you missed it, the trailer for the new Titanic series is here.  Whaddaya think – looks a bit cheesy…?! But maybe in a good way?)

So I thought you’d also like some updates on Game of Thrones, the fabulous big fantasy series that is now becoming the mainstay of the Titanic Quarter’s Paint Hall studios.  (Which, handily enough, allows for star-struck encounters between your humble Chaplain and TV royalty – I have Arya’s autograph!)

This Behind-The-Scenes report on the filming of Series Two popped up online a few days ago – and even if you’re not interested in the programme, have a look at this to see just about every member of the cast and crew wax lyrical about Northern Ireland and their fantastic experiences of shooting in Belfast:

Exciting eh – we’re being talked up by the people making (pretty much) the most critically-acclaimed show in the planet right now!

And if that video has whetted your appetite for Game Of Thrones itself, check out this trailer for Series Two.  All filmed here, y’know!

And staying with a vaguely media-related theme, if any of you (hi Mum!) are avidly following my adventures as your Thought For The Day on Wednesday mornings on Radio Ulster, you get a lie-in tomorrow – I’m not on until about 8:45! Such luxury…
