Mary Beard’s Shock of the Nude (BBC2, 9pm)

THE classicist looks at an eclectic range of works to show how artists have challenged the idea of “the body beautiful”, and explores how artistic nudes can provoke viewers to consider fundamental questions about being human. Beard reflects on Marc Quinn’s sculpture of artist Alison Lapper, Sally Mann’s images of her own children in the 1990s and the controversy that surrounded their exhibition, and examines society’s shifting perception of gender, from the binary of male and female to a more fluid concept.

Car SOS (More4, 9pm)

THE Lotus Elise is a two-seat, rear-wheel drive vehicle which was conceived in early 1994. By September 1996 it was unveiled to the masses, and the mix of fibreglass body and aluminium chassis soon won over many a petrolhead. But how will mechanic Fuzz Townshend and parts-blagging expert Tim Shaw get on when they attempt to restore a 1997 version of this adored vehicle?

Inside No 9 (BBC2, 10pm)

SOME fans of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith’s comedy anthology series may have wondered what they could possibly do to top last year’s ingenious live episode. But the new series is proving that they’re a long way from being out of ideas. In this episode Jenna Coleman stars as Beattie who, along with her partner Sam (Kadiff Kirwan of Timewasters and This Way Up) is desperate to get on the property ladder. But the only flat they can afford has a sinister past that is threatening to intrude on the present. Would they have been better off renting?
