Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne
10pm, BBC Three
“I’m here to have an orgasm and donate it to science!” Supermodel turned presenter Cara Delevingne spends the next 15 minutes masturbating in a hospital room. She’s certainly a very game host in this six-part investigative series looking at all aspects of modern sex. Outraged at the orgasm gap (research shows that only 65% of women climax through sex, while 95% of straight men do every time), she speaks with experts and activists on a “cliteracy” mission. In the opening episode, she also goes to Japan – where it is illegal to show material with female genitalia on it – and meets the woman rebelling by paddling around in a yellow canoe modelled on her own vagina.

The English
9pm, BBC Two
Rewind: it’s 1875, and Thomas Trafford (Tom Hughes) arrives in Chalk River, Wyoming, to set up his cattle ranch, alongside accountant and aide David Melmont (Rafe Spall) and a local guide, Thin Kelly (Steve Wall). It’s both a prelude to a terrible massacre and the spur for Cornelia’s (Emily Blunt) own epic journey 15 years later.Ali Catterall

Tonight’s fascinating look into our everyday gadgets and modcons focuses on the electric car. Prof Hannah Fry uncovers the role that meat packing played in almost derailing the now-booming industry, and how camcorder batteries led to Tesla and Twitter-owner Elon Musk’s fortune. Sammy Gecsoyler

The Horne Section TV Show
10pm, Channel 4
For the last episode of his nicely loose meta-comedy, Alex Horne drafts in old pal and Taskmaster consultant Tim Key to play Ken, a shifty celebrity psychologist who helps fix the bad professional relationships that are making Horne’s fictional alter ego such a failure. As Ken makes it worse, it is again left to Thora (Desiree Burch) to be the only sane person in the room. Jack Seale
Film choice
Crank
11.10pm, ITV4
Crank, the exact scientific opposite of The Elephant Man, is the film in which Jason Statham has to stay alive by keeping his adrenaline topped up by any means possible. This means he must fight, take drugs, drive as erratically as he can and have sex in public places, all while giving one of the least self-conscious performances of his career. It’s an obnoxious film, this – gratuitous and leering and thoroughly empty. That said, it is an example of a perfectly realised concept. If you’re after edge-of-your-seat gonzo spectacle, this is the film for you. Stuart Heritage
