Artist in Residence: The Sex Clinic

10.10pm, Channel 4
The work of performance artist Bryony Kimmings (pictured) deals in “things people don’t like talking about”. Accordingly, the chance to spend time with those passing through a sexual health clinic, and to get them to discuss sex in order to find artistic inspiration, is too good to miss. But it soon becomes clear – via Kimmings’s meetings with autistic and newly single Trevor, fun-seeking millennial Salome, and sex workers Jodi and Tina –that the subject isn’t so much sex as our need for intimacy. Jonathan Wright

Poldark

9pm, BBC1
In Mayfair, the vile George Warleggan cannot disguise his delight at the prospect of an heir, but his happiness is soon punctured by the antics of adopted son Geoffrey Charles. Elsewhere, Ross loses control when Capt Adderley becomes “hungry as a cannibal” for an unreceptive Demelza, with a duel between the two men in the offing. Mike Bradley

Unforgotten

9pm, ITV
After identifying the remains of the teenager found in the M1 central reservation, Cassie and Sunny visit the victim’s parents and identical twin. They also meet a retired detective who provides valuable information about the original investigation, revealing that a former boyfriend was their prime suspect but for suspicious reasons was never charged. MB

The Handmaid’s Tale

9pm, Channel 4
The world of Gilead doesn’t get any lighter and tonight’s episode is doubly harrowing, featuring strong paralells with Trump’s policy of separating migrant families. Serena Joy takes appalling action when June’s labour stalls, while the “ceremony” involving Emily and the Commander is brought to a shocking halt. David Stubbs

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD

9pm, E4
The patchy superhero spinoff began with the resurrection of heroic SHIELD agent Phil Coulson and five long seasons later he is back at death’s door. With Chicago under attack, his loyal team must choose between saving the world or their beloved boss in a finale suffused with dread and desperation. Graeme Virtue

Imagine: Rose Wylie – This Rose Is Blooming

10.30pm, BBC1
A recent discovery at 83 years old, English painter Rose Wylie is currently the talk of the art world and tonight Alan Yentob gets in on the act, visiting her at her Kent home and watching her create huge primal works best described as a marriage of Davids Hockney and Shrigley. MB
