Game of Thrones season 6 in numbers: Episode costs, locations and Kit Harington's salary

Game of Thrones season six has been nothing short of exciting and revolutionary for the hit HBO fantasy series. But as it draws to a close this weekend (26 June), we'll find ourselves a little lost on Sunday nights and finally forced to tackle the ironing pile.

The newest season of GoT could not possibly top the last, but this one has gone and done just that. We've witnessed Sansa Stark's escape – threatening her husband Ramsay Bolton's status as heir to the North – before she lets him be devoured by his own dogs at the sensational Battle of the Bastards.

Prior to that, Melisandre successfully resurrected Jon Snow after performing a bizarre ritual on him, and Daenerys Targaryen is brought to Vaes Dothrak to live out her days with the Dosh Khaleen having been captured by the khalasar. Jaime Lannister returned to King's Landing with Myrcella Baratheon's corpse and Bran Stark made good use out of his time travelling skills, amongst many other highlights throughout the season.
