(Game of Thrones theme music)
2
00:00:35,633 --> 00:00:37,734
(strumming guitar)
3
00:00:37,734 --> 00:00:39,842
There are Starks
and there are Lannisters
4
00:00:39,842 --> 00:00:41,726
and Kardashians in the --
5
00:00:41,726 --> 00:00:44,505
Whoa, "Targaryens." Do it again.
6
00:00:44,505 --> 00:00:48,979
-- and Targaryens, and of course there's
some unknowns
7
00:00:48,979 --> 00:00:53,928
Welcome to the crazy, wacky world of
Game of Thrones
8
00:00:53,928 --> 00:00:56,501
- Nice, I like it.
- Thanks man, cool.
9
00:00:56,501 --> 00:00:58,899
(male narrator)
In an exclusive Red Nose Day revelation,
10
00:00:58,899 --> 00:01:01,631
we've discovered that
the British band Cold Play
11
00:01:01,631 --> 00:01:06,700
are secretly working on a musical of TV
sensation, Game of Thrones.
12
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:08,896
This is the best idea we've ever had.
13
00:01:08,896 --> 00:01:10,747
(guitar and vocals)
Bom, bom, bom, baba babadum.

14
00:01:10,747 --> 00:01:12,662
(Chris Martin speaks while music
continues in background)
15
00:01:12,662 --> 00:01:15,292
It's just been the most amazing
creative outpouring.
16
00:01:15,292 --> 00:01:17,160
Bom, bom, bom, baba babadum
17
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,593
- Wait, wait, how many papadums?
- Babadums.
18
00:01:19,593 --> 00:01:22,070
(narrator)
The band had been long-time fans of the show.
19
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:25,317
and bearded drummer Will Champion actually
took time off at one point
20
00:01:25,317 --> 00:01:28,447
to act in the famous Red Wedding episode.
21
00:01:28,447 --> 00:01:29,917
(bell dings repeatedly)
22
00:01:29,917 --> 00:01:33,226
They've gathered in the Henson
recording studio in Los Angeles
23
00:01:33,226 --> 00:01:38,206
to work up the 16 songs required for a
full Broadway stage production.
24
00:01:38,206 --> 00:01:40,617
(keyboard)
25
00:01:40,617 --> 00:01:43,198
- Nice! Have you got any lyrics?
- Yeah.
26
00:01:43,198 --> 00:01:48,609
Around the world my heart had to roam

27
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:51,390
Well, when I first heard about it I was
a little bit skeptical,
28
00:01:51,390 --> 00:01:54,021
but now I'm completely convinced:
29
00:01:54,021 --> 00:01:56,787
it's a horrible idea.
30
00:01:56,787 --> 00:02:00,070
Closer to ho-o-ome
31
00:02:00,070 --> 00:02:03,484
It's the worst idea I've ever heard.
32
00:02:03,484 --> 00:02:06,361
A family tree ...
(music continues under female voiceover)
33
00:02:06,361 --> 00:02:08,982
One word that springs to mind when
I'm thinking about this project
34
00:02:08,982 --> 00:02:12,964
is "Titanic." But not in terms of the
successful movie -35
00:02:12,964 --> 00:02:15,790
in terms of the unsuccessful boat.
36
00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:23,202
Closer to home
(band plays)
37
00:02:24,742 --> 00:02:28,051
(piano music, narrator)
Finally, after months of writing and planning,
38
00:02:28,051 --> 00:02:31,905
Chris has invited along the entire cast
of Game of Thrones,
39
00:02:31,905 --> 00:02:34,663
to recruit them into
the live Broadway show.

40
00:02:34,663 --> 00:02:36,243
Fellows, how ya doin'?
41
00:02:36,243 --> 00:02:38,400
I had a moment of inspiration, it was
a flash of genius -42
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,158
get the whole cast to come in.
43
00:02:40,158 --> 00:02:42,127
Everyone thought it was a brilliant idea,
44
00:02:42,127 --> 00:02:45,285
so that's what's happening.
It's a big day, big day for us.
45
00:02:45,285 --> 00:02:47,072
(narrator)
All the actors are gathering
46
00:02:47,072 --> 00:02:50,068
to hear the songs performed
for the first time.
47
00:02:50,068 --> 00:02:52,706
Well, not all of them.
48
00:02:52,706 --> 00:02:55,547
More ... two.
49
00:02:55,547 --> 00:02:57,716
I was told Sean Bean was gonna be here.
50
00:02:57,716 --> 00:03:00,271
He owes me a fiver.
51
00:03:00,271 --> 00:03:02,689
Well, no, I don't think there's
quite as many of us
52
00:03:02,689 --> 00:03:05,742
as the band would have hoped, but ...
53
00:03:05,742 --> 00:03:07,940
still a very exciting day!

54
00:03:07,940 --> 00:03:10,310
This is called "Rastafarian Targaryen."
55
00:03:10,310 --> 00:03:14,501
(reggae music)
Yi-yi-yi-yi
56
00:03:14,501 --> 00:03:17,666
I'm a Rastafarian Targaryen
57
00:03:17,666 --> 00:03:20,592
I got some dragons and they're
pretty scary-in'
58
00:03:20,592 --> 00:03:23,210
(interviewer)
So Chris, how do you think it's going?
59
00:03:23,210 --> 00:03:25,739
Stunning. Stunning.
People are literally stunned.
60
00:03:25,739 --> 00:03:29,034
(interviewer)
And what if some of them can't sing?
61
00:03:29,034 --> 00:03:31,445
Well, the funny thing is, they <i>can</i> sing.
62
00:03:31,445 --> 00:03:33,242
Bom, bom, bom baba babadum
63
00:03:33,242 --> 00:03:35,391
(piano, Chris Martin)
Okay, three, four ...
64
00:03:35,391 --> 00:03:40,002
(overlapping voices) ... Red Wedding ...
lots of stabbing and a bit of beheading ...
65
00:03:40,002 --> 00:03:42,991
Nonono. Two, three, four ...
66
00:03:42,991 --> 00:03:45,046
(piano)
Bom, bom, bom, baba babadum

67
00:03:45,046 --> 00:03:47,261
(Chris Martin)
Robert! Robert! Snappy! Come on.
68
00:03:47,261 --> 00:03:51,369
No, no, sorry, sorry.
69
00:03:51,369 --> 00:03:53,633
(Iwan Rheon)
I'm sure he'll come back.
70
00:03:53,633 --> 00:03:55,981
Well, with these things
it's always step by step.
71
00:03:55,981 --> 00:03:59,909
Um, 50 percent of the cast seem
really into it, so, um ...
72
00:03:59,909 --> 00:04:03,315
I think we're onto something
really special.
73
00:04:03,315 --> 00:04:05,060
(piano)
74
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:10,407
(narrator)
It's been a slightly disappointing day.
75
00:04:13,180 --> 00:04:15,463
But then ...
76
00:04:15,463 --> 00:04:18,600
Hey Chris.
77
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,900
I'm sorry I'm late.
78
00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:25,818
Oh my god. Jon Snow.
79
00:04:25,818 --> 00:04:27,347
I knew you'd come.
80

00:04:27,347 --> 00:04:28,842

I'd never let you down, man.
81
00:04:28,842 --> 00:04:30,175
Thank you, Jon Snow.
82
00:04:30,175 --> 00:04:31,586
It's Kit.
83
00:04:31,586 --> 00:04:33,578
(whispers)
Thank you, Kit Snow.
84
00:04:33,578 --> 00:04:35,634
Right. What we got, man?
85
00:04:35,784 --> 00:04:41,291
(music)
More volume, please, more volume.
86
00:04:41,291 --> 00:04:43,202
(narrator)
It's day two of the workshop,
87
00:04:43,202 --> 00:04:47,636
(music in background)
and suddenly things take a turn for the better.
88
00:04:47,636 --> 00:04:52,089
With a phone call from Jon Snow,
and the offer of free food,
89
00:04:52,089 --> 00:04:57,904
a huge chunk of the cast have arrived.
90
00:05:10,736 --> 00:05:15,022
- Hey man! Good to see you, man!
- Hi, how ya doin'? You too.
91
00:05:15,022 --> 00:05:17,979
- Love your shirt, man.
- You look great.
92
00:05:17,979 --> 00:05:23,109
(music, clapping)
93
00:05:23,109 --> 00:05:26,744

(narrator)
It's been a very emotional morning.
94
00:05:27,404 --> 00:05:29,367
I'll have the nuggets, please.
95
00:05:29,367 --> 00:05:30,992
- Yep, there's one left.
- Oh, lovely!
96
00:05:30,994 --> 00:05:36,600
Ahh ... I sense this choice will not
end well for you.
97
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,290
I would suggest the drumsticks.
98
00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:45,596
Oh. Oh, well, drumsticks it is,
then, apparently.
99
00:05:45,596 --> 00:05:48,435
Cheers.
100
00:05:48,435 --> 00:05:51,351
I'll have the nuggets, please.
Thank you.
101
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:58,010
(band plays "Wild Thing")
102
00:06:02,410 --> 00:06:06,275
Wildling
103
00:06:06,275 --> 00:06:11,221
You make my heart sing
104
00:06:11,221 --> 00:06:14,610
You pull your bowstring
105
00:06:14,610 --> 00:06:16,805
and shoot me
106
00:06:16,805 --> 00:06:19,978
Wildling
107

00:06:21,988 --> 00:06:26,210

Wildling, I think I love you
108
00:06:26,210 --> 00:06:30,261
but I wanna know for sure
109
00:06:30,261 --> 00:06:34,721
I wanna take you into that cave
and kiss you, baby, down there
110
00:06:34,721 --> 00:06:37,276
and I've never done it before
111
00:06:37,276 --> 00:06:40,414
Yeah!
112
00:06:43,903 --> 00:06:48,087
Wildling
113
00:06:48,087 --> 00:06:51,458
Woo!
114
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,752
Wildling
115
00:06:56,752 --> 00:07:01,176
(cheering, applause)
116
00:07:01,176 --> 00:07:03,316
Really, really, really, really good.
117
00:07:03,316 --> 00:07:05,331
Just, um, one tiny thing:
118
00:07:05,331 --> 00:07:09,034
on the "lings," just be careful,
you're going a little bit flat, so ...
119
00:07:09,034 --> 00:07:12,120
No he wasn't.
120
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,986
You know nothing, Chris Martin.
121
00:07:16,986 --> 00:07:21,271
If there's one thing Theon

might have taught you

122
00:07:21,271 --> 00:07:22,865
(one thing I taught you)
123
00:07:22,865 --> 00:07:24,502
is once I've caught you
124
00:07:24,502 --> 00:07:26,045
(once he's caught ya)
125
00:07:26,045 --> 00:07:27,652
there will be torture
126
00:07:27,652 --> 00:07:30,073
(there will be torture)
127
00:07:30,073 --> 00:07:31,250
(narrator)
Old wounds are healed
128
00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:32,637
as new songs are revealed.
129
00:07:32,637 --> 00:07:34,186
I'm a real bastard
130
00:07:34,186 --> 00:07:36,512
(he's a bit of a master)
131
00:07:36,512 --> 00:07:40,041
a little more mean
132
00:07:40,041 --> 00:07:42,678
(singing together, out of tune)
a little more mean ...
133
00:07:42,678 --> 00:07:44,404
than anyone you've ever seen
134
00:07:44,404 --> 00:07:50,302
(ever seen, anyone you've ever seen)
135
00:07:50,302 --> 00:07:55,272
OK, so, Red Wedding. We're all passionate
about this one, as you know.

136
00:07:55,272 --> 00:07:59,211
(piano)
It starts very serious.
137
00:07:59,211 --> 00:08:03,110
You don't mess around with Walder Frey
138
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:05,970
(You don't mess around with Walder Frey)
139
00:08:05,970 --> 00:08:10,753
don't mess around with Walder Frey
140
00:08:10,753 --> 00:08:11,992
(narrator)
Every style in the musical canon
141
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:14,841
is captured in one day of blazing glory.
142
00:08:14,841 --> 00:08:16,250
(song ends)
Beautiful. Nice,
143
00:08:16,250 --> 00:08:18,184
If you're here for the wedding
of Robbie Stark
144
00:08:18,184 --> 00:08:20,385
keep the car running,
there's no need to park |
145
00:08:20,385 --> 00:08:24,568
He's not going to make it
through the ni-i-ight
146
00:08:24,568 --> 00:08:26,420
Keep that wedding cake in the fridge
147
00:08:26,420 --> 00:08:28,460
He didn't pay me back
for using the bridge
148
00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:32,931
I'm afraid this wedding won't be whi-i-ite

149
00:08:32,931 --> 00:08:37,106
Bom, bom, bom, baba babadum
150
00:08:37,106 --> 00:08:39,170
Red Wedding, Red Wedding
151
00:08:39,170 --> 00:08:41,163
lots of stabbing and a bit of beheading
152
00:08:41,163 --> 00:08:45,357
The Rains of Castamere are here to stay
153
00:08:45,357 --> 00:08:47,075
Red Wedding, Dead Wedding
154
00:08:47,075 --> 00:08:49,081
a head-shredding, bloodshed wedding
155
00:08:49,081 --> 00:08:51,057
There will be no wedding bedding
156
00:08:51,057 --> 00:08:55,120
today ... you don't mess around
with Walder Frey
157
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,798
Bang -- curtains -- Tony award. Great.
158
00:08:58,798 --> 00:09:00,584
(cheering)
159
00:09:00,584 --> 00:09:02,124
(narrator)
News of the success of the workshop
160
00:09:02,124 --> 00:09:05,554
spreads like wildfire. Suddenly,
everyone is in.
161
00:09:05,554 --> 00:09:09,070
D'you know what, I've never been prouder
to be in anything.
162
00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:10,830
I always knew it was gonna be a triumph.

163
00:09:10,830 --> 00:09:14,336
George R. R. Martin meets Chris Martin -what could go wrong?
164
00:09:14,336 --> 00:09:16,731
(reggae music)
165
00:09:16,731 --> 00:09:20,451
Game 'a what now?
Aye! Ay! Ay!
166
00:09:20,451 --> 00:09:23,852
Call me Daenerys Targaryen
when you wanna reach me
167
00:09:23,852 --> 00:09:26,907
and if you feel the love
then you can call me Khaleesi
168
00:09:26,907 --> 00:09:29,834
Got so many names,
I'm Queen of the Andals
169
00:09:29,834 --> 00:09:33,067
Queen of the Meereen, yeah,
you can kiss me sandals
170
00:09:33,067 --> 00:09:35,624
a branch of our own ...
171
00:09:35,624 --> 00:09:38,051
The funny -- I mean, it's, I know it's
like a musical,
172
00:09:38,051 --> 00:09:39,792
but I can also hear it like, I can hear it
173
00:09:39,792 --> 00:09:41,377
in the radio, I can hear it everywhere.
174
00:09:41,377 --> 00:09:45,089
- It's like, it's a hit!
- It's a big song. It's a big song.
175
00:09:45,089 --> 00:09:47,558
(narrator, over piano)
Raw emotion pours out from

176
00:09:47,558 --> 00:09:51,302
every corner of the globe.
177
00:09:51,302 --> 00:09:54,560
Are you thinking 'bout Joffrey?
178
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:59,395
Such a spirited lad
179
00:09:59,395 --> 00:10:01,378
I was his uncle
180
00:10:01,378 --> 00:10:04,937
I was also his dad
181
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:06,777
(narrator)
It's the first romantic ballad
182
00:10:06,777 --> 00:10:09,183
about incest in Cold Play's career.
183
00:10:09,183 --> 00:10:12,314
... heart had to roam
184
00:10:12,314 --> 00:10:15,796
Now I'm looking for something
185
00:10:15,796 --> 00:10:19,658
a little closer to home
186
00:10:19,658 --> 00:10:26,466
Closer to ho-o-ome, closer to ho-o-ome
187
00:10:26,466 --> 00:10:33,441
A family tree, with a branch of our own
188
00:10:33,441 --> 00:10:37,021
(narrator with band in background)
The greatest rock opera of all time
189
00:10:37,021 --> 00:10:40,015
is coming together.
190

00:10:40,015 --> 00:10:44,014

Still goin' strong
(He's still goin' strong)
191
00:10:44,014 --> 00:10:49,433
Yeah, yeah
(He's still goin' strong)
192
00:10:49,433 --> 00:10:53,220
Remember Ned Stark, he was a lot of fun
(so fun)
193
00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:57,412
but he didn't make it past Season One
(oh oh)
194
00:10:57,412 --> 00:11:01,610
Some people's parts just ain't very long
195
00:11:01,610 --> 00:11:04,956
but not me ...
(not me, not me)
196
00:11:04,956 --> 00:11:09,831
I'm still goin' strong
(He's still goin' strong)
197
00:11:09,831 --> 00:11:11,946
I can't believe it.
It's a dream come true.
198
00:11:11,946 --> 00:11:14,591
Everything's coming together,
everyone's on board,
199
00:11:14,591 --> 00:11:17,314
we just need
George R. R. Martin's permission,
200
00:11:17,314 --> 00:11:20,386
and then we're off.
He's gonna go absolutely crazy.
201
00:11:20,386 --> 00:11:21,875
(narrator)
And Chris was right.
202
00:11:21,875 --> 00:11:25,316

George R. R. Martin did go absolutely crazy.

203
00:11:25,316 --> 00:11:28,040
(crash)
204
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,335
It's a setback, but, uh ...
205
00:11:30,335 --> 00:11:32,027
little bit o' this, little bit o' that,
206
00:11:32,027 --> 00:11:36,160
change some words around ...
I've got plenty of other brilliant ideas.
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,401
Bom, bom, bom, baba babadum
208
00:11:45,601 --> 00:11:48,496
Uh. That's not bad, actually.
209
00:11:48,496 --> 00:11:50,852
Well, I'd better get my skates on, then!
210
00:11:50,852 --> 00:11:55,528
(Game of Thrones theme music)
211
00:11:55,528 --> 00:11:57,340
Thank you so much for tuning in.
212
00:11:57,340 --> 00:11:59,221
If you enjoyed that at all,
213
00:11:59,221 --> 00:12:01,749
and you feel like making a donation
214
00:12:01,749 --> 00:12:04,561
at rednoseday.org, and you're in the U.S.,
215
00:12:04,561 --> 00:12:06,897
that would be ever so wonderful.
216
00:12:06,897 --> 00:12:10,716
Good day!
