BBC iPlayer:
Just watched One Night in 2012 - An Imagine Special
UK Olympics 2012 preparations & Broadcast, amazing behind the scenes footage.
Brought back some fantastic memories.
I have a copy of Olympic Ceremonies - London 2012 - Opening Ceremony, will watch this again before Rio Olympics
We are returning to the UK, so we can watch Rio Olympics on the BBC, for the duration.
We have also been invited to 4K UHD, HDR & 8K Super Hi-Vision demonstrations...
Really looking forwards to those, only seen 8K Super Hi-Vision in demo mode..... on a really big TV monitor.
Coverage provided by NBC OLYMPICS

There's a lot of coverage on the main BBC HD channels of the Rio Olympics from next weekend !!!!
As to be expected, plus loads of BBC Red Button Feeds.
Safest way to participate.... watch on TV in the UK.
Plus of course, BBC iPlayer...

I'd rather watch paint dry.
All medal winners are going to be suspect, and all Russian medal winners are going to be.......?

A bit of an understatement but it's off to a bad start.

Also beginning, the shifting of programme schedules to make room for what is most likely to be the worst games ever. Are the medals worth winning anymore in the shadow of those doping scandals and backhanders? We'll see of course but this long time and increasingly cynical old duffer will not be holding what breath he has left.

Looks like my TV will spend even longer in the 'off' condition for the next couple of weeks.

I think the various pundits will be working harder to conjurer up interest by the public in their respective sports.
Apologies have already been given for saturating the BBC with the Rio Olympics.

Ah the handyness of having my own stock of TV shows & films to watch on a server, aswell as a choice of millions of videos on youtube, and of course, there's outdoors where my barbecue lives, should be easy to avoid anything to do with the limpicks...

To be honest, most of the time I'm just listening to youtube (doing it right now actually), so could have the videos at potato quality and I'd not notice...
