Davina McCall’s Pill Revolution
9pm, Channel 4
Kudos to any woman who is up for being filmed while getting her coil changed in the name of education. Davina McCall is the woman of the hour in this brilliant documentary that investigates women’s ongoing problems with contraception – one says she is “likely infertile” after symptoms caused by taking the pill masked endometriosis. Would more research have already been done if men used it? Of course. But McCall does a great job of calling for change. Hollie Richardson

Who Do You Think You Are?

Having played Anne Boleyn in Wolf Hall and Elizabeth II in The Crown, Claire Foy is no stranger to historical research and she is clearly jazzed to be uncovering the lives of her great-great-grandparents.

Forced Out
9pm, Sky Documentaries
It is staggering to think that it remained illegal to be gay in the British armed forces until 2000. This documentary tells the frequently enraging stories of some of the men and women who were dishonourably discharged, lost service medals and pensions and even faced prison as a result of their sexual orientation. Thankfully, it also tracks the fight for justice. Phil Harrison
Man Like Mobeen
10pm, BBC Three
Guz Khan’s Birmingham-set comedy-drama is back for a fourth series, with Mobeen nearing the end of his prison sentence. There is potential undercover police work on offer, attempts to bring inter-inmate peace “through the power of bars”, and plenty of great banter. “I’m an average height in Pakistan!” quips one guard. “Yeah, for an 83-year-old auntie!” Alexi Duggins
