Season 2 / Year 2017
Episodes
Stage 1
Coverage of stage 1, a 14km individual time trial on a fast circuit through the streets of Dusseldorf. World time trial champion Tony Martin, riding on home soil, will be one of the favourites to take the first yellow jersey of the 2017 Tour. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 2
Coverage of stage 2, from Dusseldorf to Liege in Belgium over a distance of 203.5km. It should be a day for the sprinters with a finishing straight nearly 3km long. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 3
Coverage of stage 3, from Verviers to Longwy, as the race moves from Belgium to France via Luxembourg on a hilly 200km route which could see the yellow jersey change hands. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 4
Coverage of stage 4, from Mondorf les Bains to Vittel. The race heads south towards the mountains but this flat 207.5km stage should suit the sprinters. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 5
Coverage of stage 5, from Vittel to la Planche des Belles Filles - the first mountain top finish of this year's race, where Chris Froome won in 2012. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 6
Coverage of stage 6, from Vesoul to Troyes. The sprinters are back in action on this 216 km flat stage. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 7
Coverage of stage 7, from Troyes to Nuits-Saint-Georges. It is a first-time finish in the wine-making town and the 213km route should suit the sprinters - but could a breakaway spoil their day? Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 8
Coverage of stage 8, from Dole to Station des Rousses. It is into the Jura for a hilly 187.5 km that could see a change in the race lead. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 9
Coverage of stage 9, from Nantua to Chambery. With three super category passes - Col de La Biche, Grand Colombier and the fearsomely steep Mont du Chat, followed by a technical descent to the finish in Chambery, it should be a wild ride. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Episode 10
The latest news from France as the Tour pauses on its first rest day. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 10
Coverage of stage 10, from Perigeux to Bergerac. This 178km stage through the Perigord countryside is another opportunity for the sprinters. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 11
Coverage of stage 11, from Eymet to Pau. A flat 203.5 km as the race heads south, and the last chance for the sprinters before the Pyrenees. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 12
Coverage of stage 12, from Pau to Peyragudes. The first of two Pyrenees stages - the riders face a testing 214.4 km with four tough climbs in the last 100 km. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 13
Coverage of stage 13, from Saint-Girons to Foix. A short but very mountainous stage of 101 km. The riders face three category one climbs en route to the finish in Foix. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 14
Coverage of stage 14 from Blagnac to Rodez. After two punishing days in the Pyrenees, this could be a stage for a breakaway to survive, but the short, steep climb to the line could also favour the puncheurs. Greg van Avermaet won here in 2015. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 15
Coverage of stage 15 from Laissac-Severac l'Eglise to le Puy-en-Velay. The rolling 189.5 km route could favour a breakaway, but it is also a stage where the favourites might try to steal a march on their rivals ahead of the second rest day. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Episode 17
The latest news from France as the Tour pauses on its second rest day ahead of the final stages. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 16
Coverage of stage 16 from le Puy-en-Velay to Romans-sur-Isere. This is a short stage of 165 km which should favour the sprinters. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 17
Coverage of stage 17 from la Mure to Serre-Chevalier. Three classic Alpine climbs on today's 183 km route - the Col de la Croix de Fer, the Col du Telegraphe and the Col du Galibier - with a descent to the line in Serre Chevalier. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 18
Coverage of stage 18 from Briancon to Izoard. This stage finishes at the top of the Izoard, and with double points on offer, it should decide the King of the Mountains title and could also be decisive for the overall victory. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 19
Coverage of stage 19 from Embrun to Salon de Provence. The longest stage of the race takes the riders away from the Alps towards the south coast where the sprinters will be eying up their chances. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.
Stage 20
Coverage of stage 20, a 22.5 km individual time trial in Marseille's Stade Velodrome, which will decide the overall winner of the Tour. Presented by Gary Imlach, with guest Chris Boardman, commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and reports from Daniel Friebe.

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.

As investigators dig into the "how" and "why" surrounding each crime, viewers are taken on an unpredictable journey and reminded that this could happen to anyone - in any home, in any neighborhood.

The Twelve
Twelve citizens are called for jury duty on a high-profile murder trial as traumatizing as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her sister's child.

Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice.
