A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - Cast


dpratt posted a month ago

No one was credited as guest stars or co-stars. At least not in the USA where this was produced. Can you explain your reasoning for adding all but two of the cast members as guest and co-stars? The default should be main cast as that's all that's mentioned. At very least everyone in this press release should be credited as Main Cast.

Hi, dpratt! Thanks for reaching out!

Neither the press release nor the on-screen credits use terms like "Starring" or "Guest Stars" or "Co-Stars". Our policy dictates that data shown on screen take precedence over data in a press release. The on-screen credits have the cast and crew separated as follows:

1) first we have "Directed by", "Written for Television by", "Created by" and "Based on 'The Hedge Knight' by"

2) this is followed by the names of the two protagonists, Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell, who play Dunk and Egg respectively

3) then we have the names of seven members of the crew, each credited as "Executive Producer" or "Produced by"

4) this is followed by the names of six actors: Daniel Ings, Shaun Thomas, Tanzyn Crawford, Danny Webb, Henry Ashton, and Daniel Monks

5) then we have the names of several crew members credited as "Co-Executive Producer", "Co-Producer", "Production Designer", "Director of Photography", "Editor", "Music by" and "Casting by"

6) this is followed by the names of the remaining eleven actors collectively listed as "Cast (in order of appearance)"

7) and finally we have the names of the rest of the crew members.

As you can see, the actors are separated into three distinct groups in the on-screen credits. This translates into "Starring", "Guest Stars" and "Co-Stars", even though the actual terms are not used. Grouping the actors any other way would go against the on-screen credits.

If the credits in the second episode list the actors in a different manner, then we can revisit the issue. But for now we have to respect the credits and our policy.

Thanks again for reaching out and for being civil in your query.

Take care! :)

The Snippet Section in News Articles


LadyShelley posted a year ago

Hello, CostaDax, Tom brought to my attention that you are only adding a period in the 'snippet' section of news items. While that does not show up on desktops, it does show up on mobile devices. The snippet is like a TL:DR. It's meant to be a quick oneliner about the information in the 'body' of the article. The news items you add are great otherwise, so in future, please add something pertinent to the article in the snippet section. If you have questions about this, please let me know. 

Thanks.

Hello Costa,

Just a ShareTV refugee here...have you heard or read anything about the continuation of the series "Flipping Bangers"? Thanks.

Hi, Mike! Welcome to TVmaze!

I'm not familiar with the show. I did a quick search and here's what strange. We do list a Series 3 on TVmaze supposedly aired on Blaze in 2022 (which is also listed on IMDb with no dates and on TheTVDB with dates), but Series 3 is not listed on the show's official page on Blaze! The show's pages on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have not been updated since 2020 or 2021, and they only mention Series 3: TBC! Amazon Prime Video also only lists 2 seasons. So, I'm not sure whether Series 3 was actually released (aired or streamed) or where it was released. Perhaps you do? Have you watched Series 3? As for Series 4, I haven't been able to find any official announcement about the renewal or cancellation of the show, but things are muddled and do not bode well for the series. In any case, I'll keep looking. If I find anything new, I'll let you know.

Take care! :)

The Company You Keep

Didn't realize you were working on this show when I added to it. Hate when people do that to me - so accept my humblest apologies!!! Have a good one Costa.


CostaDax posted 2 years ago

Hi, Rose! No worries. It has happened to me too. When I realize that someone else is working on the same episode at the same time with me, I always stop, no matter who made the first edit. With so many contributors on TVmaze, these things are bound to happen. It's really no big deal. But I really appreciate you reaching out to me. Have a good one too! 🙂

Picard?

PandaRed posted 2 years ago

What do you think of changelings in Picard? Odo would be having kittens I think!


CostaDax posted 2 years ago

Hi, Panda! (or do you prefer Red?)

My apologies for the belated response. I'm dealing with a lot of things at home. Your question deserves a proper answer and I have a lot to say. I'll get back to you when I can, hopefully sooner than later. In the meantime, have fun! 🙂

PandaRed posted 2 years ago

I'm good with Panda, Red, or PR, as long as you don't call me late for dinner! ;)

Is no worries, hope things worked out for you, sorry that they're so hectic!
