Hes a loyal follower, and a rare thing in Westeros a man concerned with doing the right thing.

Heres why he thinks we should all #bemoreDavos.

Warning: fruity language ahead.

(Well, once a smuggler…)

Does Davos share any of your personality?

Listen, I wish I was as brave as Davos.

and he went not really and its not because hes depressed.

Do you enjoy his status as a fan-favourite?

When he came on screen youre going you fucking bastard!

but you loved watching him.

[laughs] I mean, are you fucking mad, shes a serial killer, people!

Thats how clever the writing is on this.

Are you able to enjoy the show as a fan?

Like shes ruined it!

I think were all a bit like that because you watch yourself very critically.

Ive certainly not sensed any difference from the books because I havent read them!

It may be Zombie Land after the Night King has finished so somethings got to be done.

I think that was relatively obvious from the end of season six.

It doesnt take a genius to realise whathasto be done.

Whats the atmosphere like on set?

We dont have lunch, we run around with polystyrene boxes eating lunch and getting on with it.

How did it feel to move around between locations and join different groups of characters?

That was very strange.

Which particular scenes do you have the fondest memories of filming?

The most recent one, Battle of the Bastards was an extraordinary thing to be involved with.

and I said a fucking sense of humour.

There wasdrudgeryinvolved, but we knew going in.

We sat down and had the chats and said this is going to be a pain in the arse.

There were no surprises but we knew it was going to be a marathon.

It was worth it though.

Did you worry whether or not Davos would die in the Battle of the Bastards?

Is there a competitive urge to see it right through to the end?

Its nothing to do with competition, its because Im loving the show so much.

If the gods of George R.R.

But theres not an actor on the show that doesnt want to be in the last episode.

Its a benchmark in television.

Did you have to lie about Kit Haringtons return as Jon Snow after the season five finale?

Yeah, I had to do a little bit of lying.

[laughter] They want to know but they dont want to know.

It tore Kits soul apart having to keep quiet about it.

He couldnt tell her!

He couldnt tell her!

He said that was the worst part of it.

and he said no and I said Fuck off!

Or Go fuck yourself, because I knew he was coming back, there was no way he wasnt.

Liam Cunningham, thank you very much!
