Naked Attraction

10pm, Channel 4

The full-frontal dating show that you can never quite believe you’re watching returns for a ninth series. Sex-toy tester Hayley – who lives with cerebral palsy and has only ever dated friends – is the first singleton to peruse some private parts. Then, tree surgeon Dmitri from Nottingham is in shock after he picks his date – but why? As always, Anna Richardson is on hand to handle things coolly, like it’s the most normal experience in the world. Hollie Richardson

Your Body Uncovered With Kate Garraway

8pm, BBC Two

Inspired by her family’s terrifying brush with Covid-19 (her husband Derek was in intensive care with the virus and still requires round-the-clock care), Kate Garraway is on a mission to help people understand their long-standing health conditions. It’s an upbeat and helpful series, with a focus on living better. This week: fibroids and frozen shoulder. HR

Kirstie and Phil’s Love It Or List It: Brilliant Builds

8pm, Channel 4

The property gurus are taking another trip down memory lane. This time, it’s a revisit to parents-of-three Carly and Phil, whom Kirstie once tried to talk into renovating their tight-squeeze home rather than move somewhere bigger. Did they take her advice? HR

Murdered at First Sight

9pm, Sky Crime

Sky’s grimly fascinating new series has an intriguing focus: stranger murders. These apparently motiveless crimes are committed by people the victims didn’t know, which can make them very difficult to solve. The first episode tells the chilling story of aspiring athlete Tashan Daniel, who was stabbed to death at a London tube station. Henry Wong

Frayed

10pm, Sky Max

The gleefully dark comedy continues to pile up the beautifully calibrated awkwardness. Tonight, the investigation into Terry’s disappearance takes a turn and Jean and Chris try to keep Bev quiet. At the heart of it all is Sammy (Sarah Kendall), an unstoppable hurricane of inventive swearing, bad faith and brutal one-liners. Phil Harrison

Zen Motoring

10.15pm, BBC Three

More from the strange but soothing series in which a beardy rapper offers his mellow worldview while narrating over wobbly dash-cam footage. Tonight begins as a search for urban ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) sounds but takes a left turn when an encounter with a pothole man gives Ogmios the opportunity to add new noises.

A Bigger Splash (Luca Guadagnino, 2015), 1.55am, Channel 4
Tilda Swinton reunited with director Luca Guadagnino after the exquisite I Am Love for this dark tale of passion under the Mediterranean sun – but it’s Ralph Fiennes who steals the film. His impetuous music producer, plus daughter (Dakota Johnson), turn up at the Italian island getaway of Swinton’s rock singer – who is recovering from vocal surgery – and her younger lover (Matthias Schoenaerts). The newcomers bring fun, energy and dangerous emotions. Simon Wardell
