Actor Jim Sarbh found Prince Daemon Targaryen, played by Matt Smith, interesting. He said: “The journey of Daemon would be pretty exciting to watch. The cast-out brother eventually contesting the decision for the battle of the throne sounds exciting.

New Delhi, Dec 9 (Ians) Indian comedian Varun Thakur says the comedy scene in the country has evolved with people treating the art as a legitimate profession.
"I started out in 2010, and to just map my individual journey out from then and reflect on what we had done versus what is happening right now -- It's been a huge jump," Varun told Ians.
"When we were doing comedy in 2010, like the first batch of comedians from Mumbai, we had no idea what to do. When I say that, it is in the sense that where do we go and perform. We would literally go to bars and ask them to just give us a stage and 'keep all the money, keep alcohol, keep the food, just let us perform'. That's what we were doing back then," he recalled.
Now, the comedian says there are "many venues for doing comedy".

"It has changed, but I don't think it has changed enough," Channa told Ians when asked about evolving comedy space.
"If I may be honest, I think that at least in Singapore I would say I'm the only fulltime female stand up comedian. There are a few more who are trying and we try to encourage as much as possible. I think it's a function of our culture, and a function of a lot of things that still need to be broken, and a lot of barriers to be broken. I think it's not a career that women look forward to," she added.
The comedian, whose roots trace back to India, continued: "In Asia, we have more female comedians coming up,...
