7 questions people still have about Aiden Gillen's accent on Game of Thrones

No spoilers.

SEASON FIVE, EPISODE two of Game of Thrones, and there’s still one question on everybody’s lips.

What the blazes is going on with Aidan Gillen’s accent?

Is Littlefinger Irish now? Is he doing it deliberately to wind us all up? Is it some kind of elaborate plot point?

These and more questions we need answers to…

Is he taking the piss?

Right, Game of Thrones. You're taking the piss now. We're up to season five and Littlefinger still hasn't settled on an accent. Sort it out

Is it Irish or Indian?

Whoops!

It’s Irish, right?

So, Littlefinger seems to have finally decided that he might as well actually be Irish. #GameofThrones

Or maybe Dutch?

At this rate I fully expect LittleFinger to have a strong Dutch/Jamaican accent by the end of this season.

Could this be it?

Is it just me or is #AidanGillen using the same accent in @GameOfThrones as he did for #Haughey? #GameofThrones
