W1A’s bumbling head of BBC values is back – this time as head of integrity on the World Cup team. Plus: new thriller, The Copenhagen Test. Here’s what to watch this evening

10pm, BBC TwoIs the mood music around this summer’s World Cup compatible with a sitcom? After all, the main host nation is threatening to turn the event into an apocalyptic drama. Enter bumbling Ian Fletcher (Hugh Bonneville) in his new role as director of integrity for a (redacted) sporting body, whose relationship with the concept is already a punchline. While the tone is subtly different from that of W1A and Twenty Twelve – in those shows, no one really said anything; here, everyone shouts at once – the satirical intent is similar. David Tennant’s narration adds a satisfying extra layer of snark as issues of staging and environmental impact are tossed into the corporate meat grinder. Phil Harrison
