Episode 1
In the first episode we visit Lyme Regis and experience the excitement and wonder of finding a 200-million-year-old fossil lying on the beach. We learn about how the area became so famous for its fossils, and why thousands flock here every year in search of their own piece of history. We meet renowned chef and restaurateur Mark Hix MBE and accompany him on a fishing trip to catch sea bass that will later feature on his menu.
We then travel inland to Mapperton House with its luscious Grade II* listed gardens, lovingly tended by Countess of Sandwich, Caroline Montague. Renowned for their design and varied planting, the gardens are among the most stunning in southern England. Beyond the gardens, some new residents have recently moved into the grounds in the form of beavers and wild Exmoor ponies. Both are part of an ambitious rewilding project designed to encourage a wider and more diverse range of species to flourish on the estate.
On the coast we visit the sought-after beach huts of Mudeford, transformed from the basic fishing sheds from 100 years ago into luxurious holiday homes. They may be small but they carry a hefty price tag, with sales of some reaching almost half a million pounds. Many of the beach huts have remained within families for generations and few of those lucky enough to own one would consider parting with it.
Dorset contains more thatched properties than any other county in the UK. We meet father and son thatchers Nick and Mike Farwell, whose skill and dedication to their craft are keeping the ancient art of thatching alive for generations to come.

Snapped
Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, profiles fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And if they did, why? Whether the motivation is revenge against a cheating husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff, or putting an end to years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder. These shocking but true stories turn common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder.
