Sun, 9pm, Fringe, Sky1
All those campaigns to get you using public transport instead of your car are going to go down the spout after this episode, as a busload of folk are permanently encased in a mysterious crystallized material released by a fellow passenger. The case leads Olivia and co to a chap who has had premonitions of the recent inexplicable attacks, giving Walter the perfect excuse to dig out his brain-reading device – another gadget which appears to be straight from the pages of JJ Abrams’ childhood sketchbook.
Sun, 9pm, Burn Notice, FX
Apologies for any confusion caused last week – we forgot that the show started with a two-hour special in the States, so last week’s FX episode was the second bit of that and not episode two. D’oh! Anyway, this week Michael really is drafted in to help when his mum’s friend is beaten up and scammed and, amid all the espionage, there’s a nice reference during one of Fi and Sam’s terse exchanges to Sharon Gless’s role in Cagney and Lacey.
