Game Of Thrones fans express their dismay after spotting a takeaway COFFEE CUP in the Great Hall

Its cinematic range has revolutionised 21st century television, but a misplaced cup appeared to undermine the credibility of Game of Thrones on Sunday evening.

Fans stayed up late to watch an eventful episode four as the long-running fantasy drama, now in its eighth season, prepares for a bloody conclusion in little more than a fortnight’s time.

But they were spitting their cocoa after spotting what appeared to be a takeaway coffee cup in Winterfell’s Great Hall as Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow and the united army of Wildlings, Unsullied and Dothraki warriors basked in their victory over the Night King. 

One shot or two? Its cinematic range has revolutionised 21st century television, but a misplaced cup appeared to undermine the credibility of Game of Thrones on Sunday evening

But the gaffe was not lost on eagle-eyed viewers, who promptly expressed their disbelief on social media. 

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: ‘So this is where we’re at now! A Starbucks cup!’
