20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Game Of Thrones

12. Mockingbird Is The Most Viewed Episode...

Game Of Thrones is one of those shows that has only grown in popularity as time's gone by, with a marked increased in viewership from season to season. The first settled on about 2.5 million per episode, but by the fourth that had almost trebled to an average of almost 7 million. The height of this (and thus the whole show), was Mockingbird, the seventh episode of the season. It's a strange one to get the highest ratings - compared to The Laws Of Gods And Men (Tyrion's trial by jury) and The Mountain And The Viper (Tyrion's trial by combat) either side of it, it's a rather slow-moving hour. Clearly the tense ending of the previous episode ("I demand a trial by combat") got a lot of people involved.
