The Man With a Penis on His Arm
10.05pm, Channel 4
“The worst thing is when you cuddle your nan at Christmas and it hits her in the eye.” Malcolm can make light of the fact he has had a phalloplasty penis growing on his arm for the past six years, but the story behind it is hard to hear. While homeless and using drugs, his penis “fell off” in his hands because of blood poisoning. This extraordinary film follows his story, along with those of two other men with similar experiences, and asks how not having a penis has affected their relationships with masculinity.

Jay Blades: No Place Like Home
9pm, Channel 5
The Repair Shop supremo proudly shows the cameras around his childhood neighbourhood in Hackney, east London. Historical events, such as the Zeppelin air raids in the first world war and the Kray twins’ reign of terror in the 60s, are covered, but what is particularly interesting is Blades’ take on the closeness of the people who used to live in the area – and how gentrification has changed all that.

Julia
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Even when not much is happening by way of a plot, Sarah Lancashire’s charming turn as Julia Child is an addictively soothing watch. Tonight, Julia faces feminist criticism for the first time. Meanwhile, David Hyde Pierce is a hoot as her husband, Paul, presenting with a self-pitying case of man flu. HR
Life After Life
9pm, BBC Two
In a particularly heavy episode, Ursula suffers more abuse – this time at the hands of her new husband. When she is reborn (once again), she grows up managing to avoid the harmful men from her previous life. But this also means that she lives long enough to encounter another war. HR
Noughts + Crosses
10.40pm, BBC One
Amid political instability and firebombs, Callum and Sephy consider their dwindling choices. Sephy seeks out her relentlessly spiky father, while Callum is lured back into the militia as a way forward. Quieter moments – such as Cara’s perspective on raising a mixed-race child – draw out this drama’s complexity. Henry Wong
