The new series is based on author George RR Martin's novellas of the same name, which are known by fans as The Tales of Dunk and Egg, in reference to the central characters – knight Ser Duncan the Tall, aka Dunk, and his squire Egg.
Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com, Ansell, spoke about filming one particularly dramatic scene, for which he received praise from Martin himself.
"And no one was doing that. We were all just actually playing a proper game of tug-of-war, and our side was losing. So, my own decision, I put my feet onto the rope and dangled on for my life. And it was really good. And then we won the tug-of-war, so Dunk threw me up in the air, back and forth for a few takes.
"And this one take threw me so high that when I went down, I smashed my eye into his nose. And the funny thing is, they used that take, but they cut off when I went high."
"So, I go over, I go over to him, and he says, 'Wow, you're so good, and you look and you act like you've really just jumped out the books'. And that's amazing to hear from the creator of my character."
Ansell said of his character that he's "brave, cheeky, mysterious" and that he's got secrets that even the actor himself doesn't know.
As well as Ansell and Claffey, the new series also stars Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Tanzyn Crawford, Daniel Ings, Sam Spruell, Ross Anderson and Edward Ashley.
