5. SOUNDBITE (English) Joe Maddalena, Heritage Auctions Executive Vice President:
"The catalogue does have everything that's ever been used. So we've been working with HBO with their archives in Belfast, Ireland, for the past year to build this auction. And the idea started out like, What can HBO do for their fans? Like, what can they do to like something special? It's been five years since the show wrapped. They decided they're never going to go back into this particular world so it would be okay to sell these things. So we spent - my team was there for three months going through the archives, working with their teams to figure out what would be archive - because a huge portion went to the archives, there's a museum in Belfast, and then what we could sell. But the idea that I proposed to the studio was we need to tell the story. We need to tell all the seasons or bring you back to all the characters you loved, hated. And that's what's here. If there's a moment or a character or a scene or a particular thing that you loved, it's probably in this auction."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Isaac Hempstead Wright, actor - on not getting a souvenir from set:
"So, I suddenly realized on my last day on the show that I hadn't taken anything from from the set for my 10 years on 'Game of Thrones.' I thought, I've got to get something. I've got to have something to show for this. So I ran through the set I was on, you know, rushing to get in the car and I grabbed literally whatever I could find. So, the sum total of what I have from my time with 'Game of Thrones' is a wooden spoon and a straw bowl. So very practical, but perhaps not very glamorous."
8. Wide of exhibition
9. Various of Arya Stark's sword "Needle"
10. Medium of various helmets
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Joe Maddalena, Heritage Auctions Executive Vice President - on choosing from the hundreds of lots:
"I think it's what you're a fan of. If you want some dragon glass from behind the wall, we have that. If you want, you know, a Lannister guard, if you want it - like it's all here. And the thing I want to say for like the fans, which I am one of, it's very accessible. There are things that are going to be £300 or £400 or there are things that are going to be £30,000 or £40,000. Right? So I mean, there's something for everybody in this auction. If you're a fan, take a look because you might be tempted. The map markers from the tables, you know, when they were planning who was pledging fealty to which, you know, side of the board, whether you were going to the Lannisters of the Starks or the Daenerys, how all this is being manipulated, it's all there for you."
