Sky’s growing number of original shows and ever-expanding catalogue of blockbusters is handy for keeping your days and nights occupied, but before you break open new box sets or devour some blockbusting films, don’t miss your chance to catch some modern gems before their rights expire and they depart.

That means taking care not to miss out some of Sky’s exclusives, such as Big Little Lies and Avenue 5. Or, if you’ve got Sky Cinema, Le Mans 66, Taxi Driver and Joker.

This is your last chance to stream the following:

 

TV

Breeders – 28th August

Martin Freeman plays impressively against type in this darkly funny exploration of parenting and toxic masculinity.

Avenue 5: Season 1 – 31st August

Incompetence is the final frontier in Armando Iannucci’s laugh-out-loud space sitcom.

Big Little Lies: Season 1 and 2 – 31st August

Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon star in HBO’s excellent miniseries about three mothers whose apparently perfect lives unravel to the point of murder. Written by David E. Kelley and directed by Dallas Buyers Club helmer Jean-Marc Vallée, this is a gripping showcase for an ensemble complex female characters.

Just as another summer opens up to a world of fun, Mike begins falling for his new protégé’s captivating sister. Despite the mutual attraction, Mike might miss his chance when his lifestyle gets in the way.

Panic Room – 31st August

Love Actually – 3rd September

For all its cliches, it’s hard to resist Richard Curtis going full Richard Curtis in this rambling, uneven seasonal anthology.

Le Mans 66 – 8th September

Top turns from Christian Bale and Matt Damon make this slick, fast-paced drama a rollicking ride whether you’re a racing fan or not.

Jojo Rabbit – 10th September

Taika Waititi’s WWII comedy is a misjudged attempt at satire.

Joker – 11th September

Joaquin Phoenix delivers a chillingly intense turn in this dark portrait of the comic book villain.
