Game of Thrones has cash influence

Two of the countries Game of Thrones has been filmed in have told Newsbeat the TV show is having a positive effect on their economies.

Iceland's tourist board says it's seen an increase in the number of people wanting to go on tours of locations where the show was shot.

While, the film industry in Northern Ireland says it's helped increase employment in the area.

But it's also helped spread the country's cinematic reputation around the world.

Newsbeat's entertainment reporter Chi Chi Izundu has been finding out more.

Game of Thrones series three is released on DVD on Wednesday, while series four starts on Sky Atlantic on 7 April
