BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

BBC America, 9:00 p.m. ET

Sarah takes to the road, with Felix and Mrs. S., in search of the Castor Original. Meanwhile, on the home front, Cosima is in trouble for hiding secrets, while Helena finds herself defending her clone sister’s suburban illicit drug-dealing storefront business.

AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD TO STEVE MARTIN

TBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

I still laugh whenever I think of the time Steve Martin, when introducing a tribute to Mike Nichols and Elaine May at the Aspen Comedy Festival 15 years ago, told the crowd he could go on and on extolling the comic gifts and importance of Nichols & May as a comic duo – “but somehow, this seems neither the time nor place.” Well, I could go on and on about Steve Martin’s contributions to TV, film and stage comedy, as the American Film Institute does tonight. But somehow…

RACE FOR THE SKIES

BBC World News, 10:10 p.m. ET

This news special, on Chinese architect Zhang Yue, presents the sort of tell-me-more story you usually see on 60 Minutes. This late-to-architecture entrepreneur has made a fortune, and lots of waves, with his brazen approach to constructing environmentally friendly high-rises. He builds them of steel and glass in pre-fab form, with construction taking place so quickly that his Mini Sky City showpiece, a 57-story office and residential building housing 4,000 people and 800 apartments, was built from foundation to roof in a total of 19 days. What’s wrong with that? And what’s right? This BBC World News special asks those questions, and more.

JEFF ROSS ROASTS CRIMINALS: LIVE AT BEZOS COUNTY JAIL

Comedy Central, 11:00 p.m. ET

At least at this show, taped at a Texas prison, the audience members who think Ross has gone too far won’t be able to walk out. Not without some advance planning – and some power tools.

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW

BBC America, 11:15 p.m. ET

I’ve said it before, and here I am saying it again: BBC America is doing itself, and Graham Norton, a disservice by delaying the Saturday telecasts of his talk show outside of prime time. Tonight, with the launch of its new Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell series, BBC America is pushing back the start of The Graham Norton Show until 11:15 p.m. ET. And that’s a shame, because the guests this week include, on the same couch, Amy Schumer, Stephen Merchant and Samuel L. Jackson. And Schumer tells a story about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, and her encounter with them at a red-carpet event, that is positively priceless…
