TV tonight: Oscar winner Thomas Vinterberg's Danish climate crisis drama gets apocalyptic
Another double bill of Oscar winner Thomas Vinterberg's Danish climate crisis drama, which follows the evacuation of Denmark after the news that rising water levels will submerge the country. In episode three, the nation gathers for a church service that marks the official end of the state of Denmark. Then, people get desperate for payments, while others depart on dangerous journeys – and some face the grave consequences of their actions. Hollie Richardson
It's crunch time in this fun, Squid Game-adjacent gameshow. With £25,000 to be won by one of the final eight players, it all comes down to a couple of unlikely questions: who will be able to stack the most boxes? And who will be able to sharpen the most pencils? Phil Harrison
In a series that has been pointedly political but also more introspective than most previous Whos, the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda (Varada Sethu) land in Lagos, Nigeria, where mysterious authority figure the Barber (Ariyon Bakare) apparently reigns supreme. A story about the power of stories. Jack Seale
It is surely undeniable that 1988 was one of the great pop years. Bros ruled the charts, but bubbling under were the likes of Neneh Cherry, Yazz, S'Express and Bomb the Bass. The BBC's repurposing of its music archive continues with this evening of year-specific nostalgia, which also includes the documentary Top of the Pops: The Story of 1988. PH
Lee Mack hosts another round of the show that says: 'Facts: who needs them?' To ace this one, and bag up to £100,000, the contestants, increasingly whittled down from 100, need to employ 'common sense' instead, to answer a question just 1% of the UK can get right. Ali Catterall
There are so many bright red flags in Birdie and dodgy Joe's new relationship that it is enough to make you scream 'Run!' at the screen. But maybe that's the point of this moreish Aussie thriller: the lies we tell ourselves (not just others) in the hope of love working out. Still, perhaps Birdie should do a background check after all.

Speed (Jan De Bont, 1994), 11.10pm, ITV1
There is a bomb on a Los Angeles bus that will detonate if it drops below 50mph. Enter Keanu Reeves. His Swat team officer Jack jumps on board to help passenger turned driver Annie (Sandra Bullock) thwart the extortionist (Dennis Hopper at his unhinged best) who put the device on there. Reeves's potential as an action hero had been unearthed in Point Break a few years earlier and is enhanced in Jan de Bont's brilliantly tense thriller, aided by his great chemistry with Bullock. Top-notch stunt work rounds out a perfect popcorn flick. Simon Wardell

But Sky bosses have remained tight-lipped about the changes. And now The Mail have sensationally claimed that Kemp, 32, is in line for a shock hosting role on a new footie show at Sky. The son of former Spandau Ballet star Martin, Kemp is a presenter on BBC flagship programme The One Show.

The Mail reports that Sky have entered discussions with Kemp as part of their ongoing bid to attract new audiences.
