Traffi cking Sex 9pm, BBC2
In the second of his grim but
wholly watchable series, Theroux
looks at sex traffi cking. He
travels to Houston, Texas, where
prostitution is especially rife. He
interviews, among others, Nikki,
a sex worker who refers to her
pimp as “Daddy” but is terrifi ed
when she realises she has mislaid
her previous night’s takings.
He also talks to an unrepentant
pimp imprisoned for traffi cking a
15-year-old. Theroux’s avuncular
manner is sorely tested. DS
Electric Dreams: Real Life 9pm,
Channel 4
Is futuristic policewoman “Sarah”
(Anna Paquin) actually grieving
widower George (Terrence
Howard), escaping into a character
via a VR headset? (Who wouldn’t
want to be “a lesbian supercop
with a fl ying car”?) Or is “George”
just a masochistic fantasy for
Sarah – who unconsciously wants
to be punished? Loosely adapted
from Philip K Dick’s short Exhibit
Piece, another woozy, Borgesian
investigation into the nature of
reality and identity. AJCSnowfall 10pm, BBC2
London-born Damson Idris is the
latest I-can’t-believe-he’s-a-Brit
actor in American television.
He plays up-and-coming South
Central dealer Franklin Saint in
this crack-cocaine origin story
from Boyz N the Hood’s John
Singleton. What gets high must
come down, and this week
Franklin sees the darker side
of his lucrative new venture.
Snowfall is an undeniable
fl urry of historical detail, but
character development can get
lost in the storm. EEJChannel 4 Channel 5 BBC4
