Germaine Bloody Greer
9pm, BBC Two
Perhaps the presence of this in the TV schedules can explain Greer’s controversy-courting recent behaviour (such as telling the Hay festival that most rape is just “bad sex”)? But only partially, because as Clare Beavan’s rather worshipful documentary makes clear, controversy is both profession and pleasure for Greer. She has been a feminist icon since publishing The Female Eunuch in 1970; now this film (part of the BBC’s suffrage anniversary-marking Hear Her season) attempts to get to grips with her ever-shifting reputation. Ellen E Jones
The River Wye with Will Millard
5.30pm, BBC Two
New series in which the explorer and angler follows the Wye to the Severn estuary. In this first episode, Millard pinpoints the river’s source in the Cambrian mountains and meets some of the locals, including a sheep farmer who has traded some of the pastoral serenity for the custom of petrolheads. Andrew Mueller
Hidden
9pm, BBC Four
From the makers of Hinterland and covering similar ground, this Welsh thriller looks promising. It centres on an investigation led by DI Cadi John (Sian Reese-Williams: excellent) into what happened to troubled Mali Pryce, found dead years after going missing. Other stories swirl around this central narrative. Jonathan Wright
Come Together: The Rise of the Festival
9pm, Sky Arts
As the 2018 festival season clicks into gear (albeit this year without Somerset’s daddy of them all), this documentary explores the evolution of these gatherings. How did subversive countercultural bacchanalia mutate into middle-class family-friendly fun in a field? Phil Harrison
Extreme Football Russia
9pm, National Geographic
Nothing to do with hooliganism, this; rather, it’s an arresting travelogue, exploring Russia and examining some of the unique ways the country expresses its obsession with football. These include “motoball” – football on motorbikes – and games in Siberia with balls made of reindeer skin. David Stubbs
Girl’s Guide to TV
10pm, BBC Two
Rachel Parris takes a grimly funny look back at attitudes to women from the 1960s onward, via the social sounding board of telly. Cue a smörgåsbord of clips and newsreaders discussing “nubile young ladies” (which, as Parris points out, has the same number of syllables as “hardworking women”). Ali Catterall
Film choice
An American Werewolf in London 11.20pm, Film4
Two young Americans hiking on a bleak British moor are turfed out of the unfriendly Slaughtered Lamb pub and attacked by a werewolf. Jenny Agutter shines as toothsome nurse Alex in John Landis’s grisly, funny Hammer horror pastiche, and the soundtrack of relevant songs is terrific. Paul Howlett
