A nonjudgemental look at looksmaxxing and male insecurity. Plus, what’s really happening in the lives of Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash? Here’s what to watch this evening

Is penis enhancement surgery beyond the pale or simply the next inevitable phase in the looksmaxxing trend? This documentary remains admirably nonjudgmental as it introduces Dallas businessman Bill Moore, who is attempting to bring such procedures into the mainstream. But is he offering solutions to male insecurity or simply leeching off it? PH

8pm, BBC One “Despite what the press say,” confirms Stacey Solomon, “we’re still together.” This latest run of the amiable fly-on-the-wall series comes in the aftermath of various rumours about Solomon’s marriage to Joe Swash – and, in a remarkable coincidence, a paparazzo photographer appears while Solomon is walking in a field.

8pm, Sky Arts It is rare to see this level of analysis on TV, but the new series deconstructing five symphonies is thoroughly refreshing.

This time: farting child actors, a pensioner hijacks Ant and Dec, and an extra vagina on Countdown. Ali Catterall

9pm, Channel 5 The sensitive documentary following crime scene investigators and police detectives relocates from Yorkshire to south Wales. In an opening double bill, the body of 89-year-old Sylvia Phillips is found in disturbing circumstances in Porthcawl three years after her death, with suspicion falling on her son Christopher. Hannah J Davies

10.40pm, BBC One This breezy thriller continues to showcase the talents of leads Ella Lily Hyland and Casey Walsh who are, respectively, shrewd and goofy as robbers Bridget and Paul. This time, they realise the danger of crossing Grinner (Aidan Gillen), however keen they are to get their hands on his gold. But they’re in too deep now … PH
