Previously Sky had indicated that they saw Saturday nights as their main slot for drama, leading to speculation that Sky would show the series a week after the UK. Perhaps realising this would lead to lots of illegal downloading, they've decided to air the series as close to US transmission as possible, even making it a selling point in their advertising for the series.

As much as I would love to watch this series, sadly it isn't a compellign enough reason to sign up to cable or sky. It may be a long wait for Freeview/DVD.
So are you actually excited? Or is it true that you're a robot? I bet you can't wait to analyse it and write critical reviews!!!!!!! =)
Cautiously optimistic. Glad to see it happening, concerned they might balls it up. Last time I felt like this was for FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING ten (!) years ago :-)
@ JamesY: Keep an eye on Sky 3 on Freeview. They've been showing the first couple of episodes of each series Sky Atlantic have been showing as a free taster for each series, so THRONES will likely be on there (if only the first 1-2 episodes) in late April or early May.
I think the showings of Boardwalk Empire on Sky 3 were part of their free weekend pass they did. If it is a regular thing they intend doing then great!!
Someone asked Sky on Twitter and they said they may very well do it on a regular basis for some of their shows, and to keep an eye out to see if GoT was going to be one of them.
