PICK OF THE DAY

EUROPE: THEM OR US, 9PM, BBC2

FOR decades, we have tussled with the question of whether Europe means ‘them’ or ‘us’. Now, ahead of June’s referendum, when the British public finally get to decide once and for all whether we want to be partners or spectators,s Nick Robinson (pictured) presents a two-part guide to our troubled h history with Europe, exploring the past and the present in the hope of helping us to make a decision about the future. With the help of a host of heavyweight interviewees, he starts by examining why Britain ended up begging to join the Common Market it originally spurned. Authoritative, impartial, informative yet also surprisingly witty, this is public-service broadcasting at its best.
