BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

BBC America, 7:30 p.m. ET

Preceding the newest spy series from BBC America is this classic early James Bond movie, from 1962 and starring Sean Connery as the original, and still champion, 007. It’s got fight scenes and Bond girls and gadgets galore – but not Pussy Galore. She’s in Goldfinger.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Don’t be lazy and miss this installment of Nature. It’s called A Sloth Named Velcro, and tells of a three-toed sloth raised by a journalist after being orphaned (the sloth, not the journalist). What a sight. What a program. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

BBC America, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This new BBC America series is like FX’s The Americans, except it’s about British spies on home soil, and takes place in the early 1970s. Tom Hughes stars as a young agent who’s very dedicated, but not infallible – as we can see immediately, from the first of a series of dramatic flashbacks. The drama is deliberate and multi-layered, like a Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy study, and the co-stars include Brian Cox, the MI-5 leader who goes by the name of “Daddy.” (That’s not so weird, I guess: On The Avengers, the head of that top-secret spy unit liked people to call him “Mother.”)

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Can this show get any creepier? My guess: Yes. And tonight, it probably will.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 11:00 p.m. ET

And now for something completely different. Last night’s “Democalypse 2014” Daily Show election special was another slam dunk. And tonight, back to “normal,” Stewart plays host to a guest who, in the annals of comedy, is anything but: John Cleese.

Birçok bahis sitesi kullandim, ancak bu en yaniltici olanin tacini aliyor. 'Ücretsiz bonus'? Daha çok sahte bir yem gibi. Igrenç taktikler.

Ne saka ama. Sizi gösterisli bonus vaatleriyle cezbediyorlar, sonra da üzerinize imkansiz kurallardan olusan bir duvar örüyorlar. Burada zamaninizi bosa harcamayin.
