Inside Europe: 10 Years of Turmoil
9pm, BBC Two

Instructive three-parter in which presidents, prime ministers and their top advisers reveal how they fought to stop the EU from being torn apart. It begins by documenting how the Tories’ fixation with Europe pushed David Cameron to call the referendum. Useful context but scant consolation. MB

Cold Feet
9pm, ITV

To a music festival, where young Adam is gigging with his band. While Jenny gets into the festival spirit, Pete wonders what she’s not telling him. Meanwhile, as the eighth series continues, Adam is still trying to chase the opposite sex/his youth, and finds a willing playmate in Karen, while David befriends a cookie seller. AC

Shipwrecked
9pm, E4

Possibly piggybacking on the popularity of the more polished Love Island, Channel 4 resurrects its beach-based survival series. Bear Grylls alternative Tom and self-titled “director of fun” Kush are among the contestants, but there are some twists when it comes to who ends up in the rival Shark and Tiger tribes. Continues all week. HJD

The Sex Clinic
10pm, E4

Tight foreskin or a lump between the labia? This helpful new taboo-busting series offers a refreshing (if at times eyewatering) alternative to all its prissy precursors. It sees experts offer a full sexual MOT to anyone aged 16 to 24, aided by specialists who advise on issues ranging from fetishes to safe sex. Long overdue. MB

10.45pm, BBC One

Alan Yentob enjoys the company of self-confessed “scruff-bag” Jo Brand as she discusses her career and why she is proud to be a lipstick feminist. An intimate encounter with a character summed up by fellow comic Mark Thomas as: “hard work, playful, compassionate, funny as fuck”. MB

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 7.25pm, ITV2

Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) arrives in prohibition-era New York with nothing but a battered suitcase. But, since this fantasy is directed by Potter stalwart David Yates and written by JK Rowling, it’s no surprise to learn that Newt is a wizard and his case contains a menagerie of fabulous creatures.
