The Four Seasons

The decades-long friendship between three married couples is tested when one divorces, complicating their tradition of quarterly weekend getaways.

Six old friends head for a relaxing weekend away only to learn that one couple in the group is about to split up.

Western Cape Highway Patrol 2

A show that highlights how Western Cape Traffic Officers keep us safe 24/7.

The Western Cape Highway Patrol series follows provincial traffic officers as they perform their duties on our roads, revealing the dangers and difficulties they face as they strive day and night to ensure that Western Cape road users get safely home.

Road crashes are one of the most common causes of death, injury and disability in our province.

In addition to the burden and pain of lives lost or changed forever, the cost of crashes is a massive drain on the economy of the Western Cape, estimated at around R9.5-billion last year.

Traffic officers are playing an important role in making our communities safe for all who live in the Western Cape.

The officers will continue to execute multiple joint integrated operations and visibility strategies throughout the province to ensure the safety of motorists and other road users.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Dealing with Difficult, Confused and/or Drunk Drivers": Senior Provincial Inspector Swanepoel delivers a master class on keeping calm and professional while taking abuse from self-righteous rule breakers.

Swamp People 15

Swamp People is the story of the American spirit, of the lost art of doing things the right way and of the unyielding desire to preserve a dying way of life from the encroaching modern world.

Deep in southern Louisiana, there are nearly one million acres of flooded forest, marshland and bayous - the Atchafalaya Swamp - which is unlike any place else in the United States.

It's a hidden world, a place where nature still rules - one of the least-known territories in the United States.

But a hardy breed of "Swamp People" know the secrets of this dangerous mysterious territory.

Most are Cajun descendants of French-speaking settlers who came from Canada in the 1700s - and their way of life has been fundamentally the same for generations.

They are America's forgotten pioneers.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Cruel Summer": Mother Nature levels the playing field this alligator season, unleashing a host of challenges that push hunters to new limits.

Water levels have plummeted to unprecedented lows, as temperatures soar to scorching new heights.

In response, the hunters try new strategies.

King of the Swamp Troy Landry launches a daring plan to bag a hundred gators on the first day.

Ashley "Deadeye" Jones returns for her second season as Captain, armed with a hit-list and an unbeatable strategy.

Ronnie and Timmy try to defy the odds, by returning to locations that delivered last season.

And Leron and Porkchop try for a personal best, vying to break their record for most gators nabbed in one day.

Beat Bobby Flay 19

Two talented cooks go head-to-head in an epic cooking battle, with the winner then taking on celebrity chef and restauranteur Bobby Flay in this culinary competition series.

Each episode, the contestants must impress the guest judges with their cooking, and the one who does the best gets the opportunity to face the master, Bobby Flay.

To give them a fighting chance against such an experienced and successful chef, the contestant chooses what recipe they and Bobby make, before the judges decide whose was best.

In the Season 19 premiere, "Getting Nutty": Michael Voltaggio and Laura Vitale join forces to teach Bobby a thing or two.

They bring along University of Houston chef Alex Brugger and Miami-born Tatiana Rosana to school Bobby on a lesson in defeat.

In the second episode of the weekday double bill, "Don't Drop the Beat (Bobby)!": Iron Chef Michael Symon and actress Brooke Shields band together to take Bobby down.

With Italian chef and restaurateur Carla Pellegrino and Atlanta's Idris Muhammad on their side, Bobby will be singing a different tune.
