In the Eye of the Storm: Chasers
Channel: Discovery Channel (DStv 121)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Nature, Docu-Reality
Discovery's series In the Eye of the Storm documented extraordinary survival stories of people caught in the crosshairs of nature's wrath.
Now, Discovery Channel expands the franchise with a spinoff series In the Eye of the Storm: Chasers, a heart-pounding ride into nature at its most extreme.
The series follows 12 teams of certified weather spotters and professional storm chasers as they self-shoot their close encounters with dangerous tornadoes.
With no producers or camera crews, each team ventures into America's Tornado Alley, risking everything to spot tornados, warn people in harm's way and help save lives when disaster strikes.
The six-part series captures raw, harrowing encounters as storm chasers, outfitted with their own camera rigs and advanced weather tech, race into the American Midwest during one of the most active tornado seasons in decades.
These men and women risk their lives while redefining storm chasing for a new generation.
In the series premiere, "Twister Shapeshifter": Veteran chasers and a new generation of storm spotters and weather streamers compete for position during one of the season's most volatile tornado outbreaks.
As a photogenic twister approaches the small town of Gary, South Dakota, each chaser angles to get ahead of the storm.
But when extreme meteorologist Reed Timmer arrives with his high-tech armoured vehicle, called "the Dominator," an unexpected fender bender disrupts the chase.
Back on course, the chasers catch up with the fast-moving twister, but as it intensifies to EF-3 strength, it takes a terrifying turn.
Realising the tornado is about to destroy a farmhouse, chasers Brandon Copic and Will Vollman shift from storm chasers to first responders, launching a search-and-rescue mission inside the wreckage with the tornado still in sight.
Later this season, Tanner Charles heads further into Tornado Alley for a multi-day outbreak, Freddy McKinney captures stunning footage of a historic EF-5 in Enderlin, North Dakota, and chasers track explosive storm systems across South Dakota and Minnesota.
Others push into unfamiliar terrain in Canada, endure punishing giant hail in Nebraska and undertake multiple high-risk missions as they capture nature's destructive power firsthand.
For veteran chasers including Reed Timmer, Randy Hicks and Brandon Copic it's a return to familiar ground, while a new generation - Tanner Charles, Freddy McKinney, Sarah Kassabian and Connor Croff - step out of the shadows of their heroes to make a mark of their own.

Sister Boniface Mysteries
Channel: BBC UKTV (DStv 134)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Period Drama, Mystery
First there was Father Brown. Now, say hello to Sister Boniface.
This clever, moped-riding nun is the police's secret weapon for solving murders in this divine Father Brown spin-off.
Lorna Watson is back in the habit as Sister Boniface and countryside criminals should start saying their Hail Marys, as her faith in forensics is only rivalled by her passion for investigation.
In rural Warwickshire in the 1960's, police forensics is rudimentary by today's standards.
DNA is yet to be discovered. Blood testing can take days. The notion of trace evidence is in its infancy and the preservation of crime scenes is shockingly hit and miss.
Fortunately the Great Slaughter Constabulary has a secret weapon in its fight against crime.
Hidden deep in the countryside is St Vincent's Convent, a small community of wine making nuns where ensconced in a laboratory is Sister Boniface.
An IQ of 156 and a PHD in forensic science, plus an addiction to popular detective fiction and a fully equipped crime laboratory make Boniface an invaluable aid to police investigations.
Mud, blood, stains, hairs and fibres. If there is evidence to be found Boniface will find it.
Poisons, trace evidence, blood stains, etymology. She's more up to speed on the latest forensic techniques than the police.
In her role as official Police Scientific Advisor, Boniface works alongside the dashing Detective Inspector Sam Gillespie and Felix Livingstone, a high-flying Bermudian Detective Sergeant.
Felix was supposed to be on secondment to the Metropolitan Police but an administrative error lands him in Great Slaughter.
A cast of eccentric local characters combined with his boss's reliance on a nun leave him reeling.
Although as Sam points out, that "Nun" ensures they have the highest clean-up rate in the county.
