"Game of Thrones" Prequel Delves into Chivalry and Power Politics Tonight
The medieval world of Westeros comes alive on Sky Atlantic as "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," a prequel to the hit series, premieres tonight. The show, which takes place in the 12th century, is set against the backdrop of chivalric tournaments and royal politics. At its center is Ser Duncan, a former Irish rugby player turned squire, who seeks a knighthood in order to participate in the upcoming tourney.
As the Targaryens arrive on the scene, Duncan seizes the opportunity to ask for their help, setting off a chain reaction that could alter the course of events. Will the dragonfire dynasty's presence be enough to upset the balance of power in the Seven Kingdoms? Tonight's episode promises to deliver the action and intrigue fans have come to expect from "Game of Thrones."
In contrast, BBC Two's "Clive Myrie's African Adventure" takes a more laid-back approach, following Clive Myrie as he explores the vibrant city of Soweto, South Africa. The show's mix of local culture, politics, and sports makes for an engaging watch.
Tonight, the BBC delivers two thought-provoking documentaries: "Panorama: Post Office – Who's to Blame?" and "Lynley." Both shows tackle complex issues that have left many wondering about accountability in the wake of the Post Office scandal. Will tonight's episodes shed new light on these pressing questions?
"Industry," meanwhile, continues its exploration of the cutthroat world of talent management, with Harper launching a fund to support former Pierpont colleagues. The show's witty dialogue and well-developed characters make for an entertaining watch.
Finally, BBC Three airs "Election," a 1999 film that satirizes the cutthroat world of high school politics. The movie follows Jim McAllister, a history teacher played by Matthew Broderick, as he tries to sabotage the campaign of over-achieving student Tracy Flick. Reese Witherspoon shines in this career-defining role, bringing depth and nuance to a character that could have easily been one-dimensional.
Tonight's lineup offers something for everyone: action-packed "Game of Thrones" adventure, engaging documentaries, and a dose of satire with "Election."

i've been waiting for like forever to see more of the medieval world of westeros! ser duncan sounds like such an interesting main character i hope he gets a lot of screen time. and can we talk about clive myrie's african adventure? i've always wanted to visit soweto, south africa it looks like such a vibrant and fascinating place 
- just another knight trying to make a name for himself in the land of the lords... how trite
looks so epic! 
i love how it's got knights, dragons, and power struggles 
also loving the vibe of "Clive Myrie's African Adventure" 
bbc two always delivers some great documentaries tonight 
gotta tune in to see what all the fuss is about about the post office scandal 
. The medieval setting is already getting me hyped, and Ser Duncan's story seems intriguing. On a completely different note, have you seen the BBC's documentary on the Post Office scandal? It's been stuck in my head for ages 
. And, yeah, Reese Witherspoon is a total boss in "Election" - that movie never gets old 
. Can't wait to dive into all these shows tonight!
! But, what's with the lack of representation from other houses? Like, we need more perspectives, you know? 
And btw, who's playing Ser Duncan? 
. On a more serious note, though, I'm kinda curious to see how this prequel explores the world of chivalry and power politics. Will it hold up to the original? Only time (and 6 episodes) will tell 
. It's like they're giving us a much-needed dose of reality TV, but without all the drama and cheese 
. And hey, if you're feeling nostalgic for high school politics, "Election" is always a great choice 
. So grab some snacks, get comfy, and let's dive into these shows! 
And don't even get me started on Election - who doesn't love a good satire? Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon are legends in my book! 
. And yeah, documentaries about the Post Office scandal are long overdue, so fingers crossed tonight's episodes bring some closure 
.
it's always so entertaining to see harper's character come into play. and finally, reese witherspoon in "election"... can't wait to watch her bring tracy flick to life 
gotta catch up on some industry drama too 
Watching knights jousting at actual tournaments (yes, they still happen!). There's something about seeing those guys in action that just can't be replicated with CGI.
Still, I love a good underdog story like Ser Duncan's quest for knighthood. Maybe they'll get some dragons involved? 
I love shows like that, where the characters are always scheming and backstabbing each other. It's like a real-life soap opera!
