On average an episode of The West Wing cost £4million ($6million) to produce, such was the huge expense placed on ensuring the show was of the highest standard.

To put that into perspective, the first series of "Game of Thrones" - the fantasy-drama adaptation of George RR Martin's "A Song Of Ice And Fire" books - cost just £40million ($60million) overall.

With 10 episodes in series one of Games of Thrones, that equates to £4million ($6million) an episode as well - meaning The West Wing cost the same amount, even though it didn't have all the fantasy elements to include.
