EUtopia (11.30 am, also 1.30, 3.30, 5.30, 7.30 BBC Knowledge). "The United States of Europe", an episode (already shown on BBC2) from the documentary series that seems to be intended as a kind of finale, exploring themes of national identity – from Basques, Cornishmen, a German learning Irish, a Somali-born Turin councillor, Greeks, Danes … too many for one 30-minute documentary.
Fantastic Tales (3.30 R4). Sheridan Le Fanu’s The Ghost and the Bonesetter , read by Sean Barrett.

» Equinox : The Science of Crime (9.00 C4). "Cybercops" – last in this trilogy is about how corporations are fighting computer fraud, etc. The fact that this is directed by Witold Starecki might suggest we’ll get a more stylish programme than usual.
