Saturday Night Live UK<\/p>\n
10pm, Sky One<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, pretty much everybody expected this US late-night import to fail. But it turned out to be such a hoot (mostly thanks to Jack Shep\u2019s golden Princess Diana impression) that its return is a welcome relief to autumn nights. The comedy names that made it such a success are back \u2013 along with newbie Freddie Meredith \u2013 and they\u2019re joined by the first celebrity host, Jeff Goldblum. HR<\/p>\n
Last Night of the Proms<\/p>\n
7.10pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n
The biggest night of the Proms and a bittersweet end to the season. Katie Derham and Nick Mohammed host the classical bonanza, ranging from Bernstein\u2019s dazzling Overture to Candide to Holst\u2019s buoyant Jupiter and hits from Guys and Dolls. As per tradition, Land of Hope and Glory et al marks the big end and can be seen on BBC One from 9pm. HR<\/p>\n
The Celebrity Inner Circle<\/p>\n
8.15pm, BBC One<\/p>\n
With Britain\u2019s Got Talent not returning until next year, Amanda Holden\u2019s reign of Saturday night telly continues with season two of this QI-meets-The Traitors quiz show. Six contestants including a standup and a \u201cretired granny\u201d are paired with celebrities, as they outsmart each other until one of them goes home with \u00a318k. Priya Elan<\/p>\n
The Box<\/p>\n
8.15pm, ITV1<\/p>\n
Gary Lineker\u2019s bafflingly contrived celebrity gameshow continues, randomly. After a witless debating task at the Oxford Union, Brighton beach at least offers the appearance of physical peril as the contestants swim in the murky sea. But if you can identify the point of any of what\u2019s going on, you ought to win a cash prize. Jack Seale<\/p>\n
Beck<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC Four<\/p>\n
Another chewy case for venerable cop Martin Beck (Peter Haber) and the Stockholm homicide squad. Their attempts to solve the gang-related murder of a 17-year-old girl are disrupted by a shotgun-wielding vigilante with street justice on his mind. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n
Chaka Khan: Radio 2 in the Park 2026<\/p>\n
10pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n
You can catch highlights of the vintage pop festival at 9pm, featuring Lulu, Texas and Emeli Sand\u00e9. Then stick around for this full set from the queen of funk, Chaka Khan, with all the hits to sing along to, from Ain\u2019t Nobody to I Feel For You and, of course, I\u2019m Every Woman. HR<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a conspicuous absence of cockneys in this new action thriller \u2013 but otherwise it\u2019s your typical Guy Ritchie joint, elevated by the presence of Jake Gyllenhaal as Bronco Beauregard, one half of a glorified, globe-trotting debt-collecting duo with Henry Cavill as his more reticent other half, Sid. Eiza Gonz\u00e1lez is on \u2013 effectively \u2013 Miss Moneypenny duties as Rachel Wild, a lawyer who employs Bronco and Sid to do her dirty work (ie all the cool stunts), on account of their absolute willingness to operate in the legal-moral grey zone of the title.

The History of Sound, 7.50am, 2.50pm, Sky Cinema Premiere<\/p>\n
Feted young actors Paul Mescal and Josh O\u2019Connor have teamed up for this melancholy romance about music and missed connection. Mescal plays Lionel, a gifted musician who meets a more scholarly academic, David (O\u2019Connor), while studying at the New England Conservatory of Music, in the midst of the first world war. Reunited after armistice, the two travel around rural Maine together, recording their folk music on the new-fangled \u201cwax cylinders\u201d and \u2013 ultimately, fleetingly \u2013 falling in love. Director Oliver Hermanus\u2019s previous work includes Living, the Bill Nighy-starring re-imagining of Kurosawa\u2019s 50s classic Ikiru, and this is a similar symphony of longing and decade-spanning desire.

If you\u2019ve never seen Powell and Pressburger\u2019s 1948 meta-dance-thriller, you\u2019ve never seen the colour red. It\u2019s that serious. Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s gruesome fairytale, it revolves round aspiring ballerina Victoria Page (a resplendent Moira Shearer) and her toxic relationship with the world-renowned impresario Boris Lermontov (Anton Walbrook). Boris forces her to choose between her art and her love for composer Julian Craster (Marius Goring). But the story is near-irrelevant when the cinematography and choreography are this spectacular.
