Remember Hercules, Xena: Warrior Princess and Dr QuinnMedicine Woman?Okay, well maybe not so much the last one. But those first two, they had some overwhelmingly corny opening credits - as did most 90s light entertainment fare (looking at you, The New Adventures of Superman).
In a way, the HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin's fantasy saga, A Song of Ice and Fire - Game of Thrones - shares a spiritual heart with those early programmes. But only like how the Dothraki share hearts. As in, cut them out of a horse and eat them for a baby shower.
It makes the following mock-up video both nostalgic and rather funny...a mid-90s reimagining of Game of Thrones' opening credits, VHS grain and all...
Game of Thrones Season 3 begins on HBO on March 31st in North America and Sky Atlantic on April 1st in the UK, starring Peter Dinklage, Michelle Fairley, Lena Heady, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Kit Harington, Iain Glen, Aidan Gillen, Charles Dance, Jack Gleeson, Mackenzie Crook, Paul Kaye and a whole load more.
