100 Vaginas
10pm, Channel 4

The artist Laura Dodsworth certainly knows how to start a conversation. Previous photography series on breasts and penises have caused a stir and now she’s tackling the last taboo. Her new icebreaker, “Let’s talk about your vagina”, leads to chat both frivolous and fraught, with survivors of sexual assault and religious repression, reluctant menstruators and enthusiastic masturbators. Photographing 100 female bodies was the impetus, but this project is much more besides. Ellen E Jones

My Million Pound Menu
8pm, BBC Two

By offering hopeful foodies an injection of tasty capital from angel investors, this reality show is essentially Lardons Den. In the final episode of season two, urbane but steely First Dates maître d’ Fred Sirieix, best known for his pearls of romantic wisdom on Channel 4, walks three more hopeful businesses, including a zero-waste food stall, through the high-pressure process. Graeme Virtue

How the Other Kids Live
8pm, Channel 4

The series in which families arrange playdates in an effort to bridge cultural, ethnic and economic divides travels to Sheffield, where nine-year-old bike-rider Syd and her mum Jodie host a get-together with Muslim “girly-girl” Alisha, and Daisy, who comes from a “blended family”. Can the girls find some common ground? Mike Bradley

Shetland
9pm, BBC One

“Have we got two homicidal maniacs running around Shetland?” gasps normally unflappable DI Jimmy Perez as the body count begins to mount. All the signs point to Jamie’s involvement in the murder of his parents, but Perez doesn’t buy it and thinks there’s more than one killer on the loose. Consistently well-paced drama. MB

Escape at Dannemora
9pm, Sky Atlantic

The final episode of this sad tale of justice served. Matt and Sweat are trying to make it across difficult terrain to Canada but Matt is hampering the younger man and the “whirlybird” rotorblades overhead are getting louder. Meanwhile, Joyce has been arrested and is struggling to retain her family’s faith in her. David Stubbs

Abused By My Girlfriend
10.45pm, BBC One

Niamh Kennedy’s riveting film tells of how the Bedford football coach Alex Skeel endured five years of psychological and physical abuse from his partner Jordan Worth. It led to police securing the UK’s first conviction for coercive control involving a female offender. Truly shocking. MB

The Impossible (Juan Antonio Bayona, 2013) 9pm, More4

Juan Antonio Bayona’s gripping, thoroughly convincing film captures the horror and emotion of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, which killed 230,000 people in south-east Asia. It’s based on the true story of a Spanish family trying to reunite in the aftermath; Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts are excellent. Paul Howlett
