Of the Discovery shark titles, this is the one most likely to reward actual curiosity. Focusing on how great whites hunt their toughest prey gives the hour an ecological stakes-and-technique hook, which is far more interesting than simple attack sensationalism.
Tupac Shakur sets the stage for the current and continuing evolution of the hip-hop phenomenon.
After learning she had a twin, Claire starts receiving strange gifts signed with her sister's name.
After a slew of mauled marine life washes ashore, Dr. Craig O'Connell searches to find the culprit.

Jimmy Carr feels the wrath of Michael McIntyre, Fatiha El-Ghorri, Harry Hill, and more.
Most real-estate television blurs together; this one survives because it understands that eccentric American homes are really character studies. Jack McBrayer's comic timing keeps the tone light, and tonight's aviation-inspired house sounds exactly strange enough to justify tuning in fresh.
