Celebrate Red Nose Day by watching Peter Dinklage sing about Game of Thrones

21 May 2015 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Red Nose Day may be so old now in the UK that I was a ‘child or young person’ when it started, but in the US, it’s all new and exciting – the very first one starts tonight on NBC, in fact. As with Red Nose Day in the UK, there’s lots of pre-recorded sketches from celebrities, and if you Google about, you can find Anna Kendrick remaking Raiders of the Lost Ark, for example.

But for our purposes, I think Peter Dinklage singing about everyone who’s died in Game of Thrones is the most interesting of them all.

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
