We will very likely be fixated upon Paralympic exploits for the next week or so, and willing Team GB on to further super-human endeavour and medal glory.
In and around the sport, there are plenty of streaming options on LOVEFiLM Instant at the moment, and you could do a lot worse than starting with our wide variety of instant TV series.
Of these, the top 5 below are proving most popular at the moment, but equally fine stuff like Lie To Me (starring Tim Roth), old faves like Spooks and Only Fools & Horses, and the entirely more recent Sons of Anarchy (from the makers of The Sopranos and The Shield) are hard on their heels.
We’ve got the original Danish version of The Killing too, if you like your telly dark and enthralling.
And if you need something a little less murdery for the kids (probably wise), there’s plenty of family entertainment to be had, especially with new Aardman stuff coming in like Shaun The Sheep, Timmy Time and dear old Wallace & Gromit. Plus Pingu, Thomas, Bob and many more.
Film wise, action is top of the pops right now, with sword & fortarama Centurion smashing allcomers (probably due to Dominic West and the Fass factor), all – that is – except Diane Kruger’s Special Forces.
Get Him To The Greek and The Waterboy are flying the comedy flag, and perennial faves The Dark Knight and I Am Legend continue to play well too.
Best place to start having a root around for great movies would be the LOVEFiLM Instant page, which has loads of great suggestions, Most Popular and Highest Rated collections, as well as some Hidden Gems. And stacks of other ways to search our range besides.
Fill your boots, and come on Team GB…!
