Lets face it, if you attended a Live 8 event you're probably pooped enough for a night on the sofa to be exactly what you need, and if you watched the whole thing on TV then you're probably still bonded to the fabric of the settee due to all the excitement.
Whichever, we've got the picks of the picks for tonight's TV, from this week's Guide and today's Guardian, for all your couch potatoing needs...
Nigella 1.30pm, ITV1 Having wowed evening audiences with her domestic goddess persona, Nigella Lawson attempts to mix "an intelligent look at modern-day life" with elements of the daytime magazine format. Springer with smarts and cookery advice? It sounds like a potentially egg-on-face exercise if it doesn't work, but at least reportedly hefty appearance fees appear to have helped garner an impressive list of guests, kicking off with Val Kilmer.

Elephant Diaries 7pm, BBC1 How do you return orphan elephants raised in captivity to the wild? That's the challenge facing staff of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. In the first of five shows to be broadcast this week, a motherless young elephant is rescued when it is aggressively rejected by its herd in Samburu National Reserve. It's touch and go whether the youngster, now named Naserian, will survive this traumatic experience.

The Bush Interview: Tonight with Trevor McDonald 8pm, ITV1 George W Bush is under pressure both at home and abroad. On the eve of the G8 summit, the president talks exclusively to Sir Trevor McDonald about such contentious issues as climate change, Africa, trade and the USA's continuing involvement in Iraq.

Escape to the Legion 9pm, Channel 4 Bear Grylls is a man's man, an explorer and former soldier. He's also fascinated by the French Foreign Legion, so much so that he finds a team of volunteers to join him in enduring a recreation of the the break-them-to-make-them training meted out by the elite force. It's not pretty, as individual mistakes are greeted with collective punishment, such as climbing up near-vertical Sahara sand dunes in blistering heat or marching across the desert. And there's certainly no sympathy from the unrelenting ex-Legion man, Sergeant Glenn, with his "pain is weakness leaving the body" mantra.

Well, that's my revelation of the day - discovering that there's someone out there called 'Bear Grylls'. What's more, according to the biography on his official site Bear lives "on a boat on the Thames and also on a small Welsh island", as well as occasionally living up mountains, temporarily living in the Foriegn Legion, and generally seeming to live somewhere in the 19th century.
Inky Fingers: The Story Of The NME 9pm, BBC4 With the 3000th issue due in August, this is a chance to celebrate the world's oldest music magazine, with Chrissie Hynde, the Kaiser Chiefs, Nick Kent, Charles Shaar Murray, Tony Parsons, Paul Morley, Danny Baker and Steve Lamacq on hand to look back, blow out candles, marvel at the fact it's still around etc.

Amish In The City 11.30pm, Trouble More interesting premise than most of these shows, this Real World set-up (house full of obnoxious young people) gets a religious twist. Amish twentysomethings on Rumspringa (a reprieve from their strict Amish rules while they decide whether to join the church forever or not) get to live with some "normal" (ie spoilt, self-centred, and superficial) LA kids. It's not long before the smocks and bonnets come off in favour of bikinis and hot pants, but there's still a huge rift between the two groups. Most interesting though is seeing the Amish in sensory overload as LA assaults them with its riches. Clare Birchall
And that should fill the whole evening nicely.
And the day, if you're lucky enough to be able to mooch around enjoying daytime programming. And if you are able to, you could have a look at 'Baby House' (ITV, 2.15pm), and tell us whether anything exciting happens. This is either going to be an incredible domino effect of birth-giving, or two weeks of enormously pregnant women sitting around getting more uncomfortable by the second and talking about hemorrhoids.
Still, if one reality show happens to be feasting on another this week, we can always hope for half a dozen children called Bear.
