Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin’s surrealist sketch-comedy returns for another series.

From dramatic gift receipts to hot dog car crashes, I Think You Should Leave mines laughs and cringes from the most mundane of scenarios to the downright bizarre.

England vs Denmark

ITV, 6.30pm

The nation holds its breath for a semi-final against the neutrals’ favourite, Denmark.

But after a shaky start, Denmark are proving to be no pushover having won three games in a row to reach this stage.

Now just one game away from their first major final since 1966, Gareth Southgate and his England side have their best chance in years to make history.
