I got the golden ticket: Natalie Dormer on her time on 'Game of Thrones'

Actor Natalie Dormer, who played Margaery Tyrell on "Game of Thrones", says her character on HBO epic fantasy series enjoyed "perfect length of time".

Dormer's Margaery entered series infamous for suddenly killing off its characters in second season and literally went out in season six finale with a blast, thanks to a scheming Cersei Lannister (Lena Hey).

British actor said she knew about fate of her character a year in vance.

"I was ever so grateful that I was with Jonathan (Pryce who played High Sparrow). To have such a partner for my last scene was really a gift," she told Variety.

"I got golden ticket, perfect length of time. I watched season one as a fan, came in second season, did a good solid five years just as show h this incredible explosion, and n I got out in time to watch end and sit on couch again," Dormer ded.

Talking about finale of show, which ended last May, 38-year-old actor said showrunners Dan B Weiss and David Benioff h an "almost impossible task" in wrapping up.

showrunners were severely criticised for below par script writing and poor portrayal of women in eighth and final season of HBO series, based on author George RR Martin's book series "A Song of Ice and Fire".

Dormer said it was always going to be difficult for writers to satisfy everyone.

"By very nature of sheer quantity of storylines and characters, y h to start wrapping up around season six, which y did with Tyrells and or beloved characters.

"It was almost going to be impossible task, I think, regardless of what y h done, to satisfy a third act for everyone in time that y h," she said.

actor is currently seen in Showtime's "Penny Dreful: City of Angels".
