Whilst we may only be two episodes into the new season of Game Of Thrones, the director of the super successful HBO drama has already teased the final episode of the season, declaring that it will be "the episode to end all episodes."
Speaking to Deadline ahead of the Purple Wedding episode that aired in the US on Sunday night and saw King Joffrey taking his last breath, director Alex Graves said:
"Episode 10 of the season is, you know, as David and Dan will tell you, it's the first true finale they've ever done and it's really the episode to end all episodes. It's the largest episode they've ever made."
He also made the revelation that viewers will see a confrontation between father and son duo Tywin and Tyrion.

The director also clarified that the fantasy drama is still based on the books, amid the claims that the drama is catching up with George R R Martin's books.
"First of all the show is still in the books and it won't be out of the books here for another season and hopefully by then the first of the last book will be done. But I can only say that David and Dan and George have it all very well in hand."
Meanwhile, George R R Martin recently admitted to Entertainment Weekly that he feels guilty for Jack Gleeson having had to play Joffrey who was such a hated character.
He said: "He's very perceptive and he played this loathsome character and somehow made him more loathsome. He created someone that everybody hates, and loves to hate, and that's a considerable feat of acting.
"I feel a little guilty that he's quitting acting now. I hope that playing Joffrey didn't help make him want to retire from the profession because he does have quite a gift for it and could have a major career as an actor."
