Calling all Game of Thrones fans! It could be time for cowardly King Joffrey to get his comeuppance if our trailer for Season 4 is anything to go by. There are warnings galore as the plotting and murdering are set to continue. "The war's not won," Joffrey is told by Jaime Lannister. Meanwhile Daenerys Targaryen, whose ambitions include world-domination, says: "They have a choice. They can live in my world or they can die in their old one." Tyrion Lannister is seen being marched down an aisle in handcuffs and Jon Snow warns, "If the Wildlings breach the wall, they'll roll over everyone and everything."

Meanwhile, if you are missing the dulcet tones of Charles Dance, keep your eyes peeled for the BBC's Winter Oympics trailer, which is very Game of Thrones-esque. And staying with snow and ice, catch Melinda Messenger coming a cropper as she trains on an artificial ski slope for the new Channel 4 challenge show, The Jump.

For more laughs watch Bruce Springsteen join Jimmy Fallon on Late Night for a new version of Born to Run dedicated to Governor Chris Christie's "Fort Lee, New Jersey traffic jam." Christie is a massive Springsteen fan, even riffing with Fallon on Born to Run during their Slow Jam the News session last summer, but he may not be such a big fan after this performance.

Talking of showstoppers, we've got a very romantic interruption to the panto Peter Pan in Glasgow, and a devil baby who terrifies everyone he encounters. We've also got a quirky Lego clip about David Bowie and his plans for a stage character called Cobbler Bob. Finally, we remember the much-loved actor Roger Lloyd Pack with a classic clip of Trigger in Only Fools and Horses.
