Game of Thrones has broken a new record... well, kind of.

The HBO show has nabbed the top spot from, well, itself, for the most people ever set on fire by an entertainment production – which sounds about right considering it stars three massive dragons.

"In one battle scene we set more stuntmen on fire than have ever been simultaneously set on fire," showrunner David Benioff told EW. "Our stunt coordinator really wanted to get in the Guinness World Records for this."

(Unfortunately, Guinness doesn't actually track productions setting people on fire.)

Opening up about the scenes, Thrones' stunt coordinator Rowley Irlam continued: "One sequence has 73 fire burns and that itself is a record.

"No film or TV show has ever done that in a whole show, let alone in one sequence. We also set 20 people on fire at one time, which is also a record.

"I think in Saving Private Ryan they had 13 on a beach, and on Braveheart they had 18 partial burns. Because of the nature of our attacking animals, we had the liberty to expand on that."

He continued: "It's totally different from going underwater in your bathtub and counting the seconds in your head. If somebody bumps you and you breathe in by accident you will breathe in flame.

"The most dangerous thing is re-ignition. There's a good minute of everybody staying down afterward as you're still very flammable at this point."

Meanwhile, the Mother of Dragons herself (Emilia Clarke) has admitted that it will be a battle for Daenerys to reach the Iron Throne in King's Landing in the upcoming seventh season.
