We can't say, 'Well, when we did Thrones, we did it this way…,' this is something else, and should be something else... Hopefully it will be seen as something else. But it will have to earn that. We'll be lucky if we ever come close to what the original show was, so we're just putting our heads down and getting on with it and hoping what we come up with is worthy of having a Game of Thrones title.
