For the first time in 42 series of See Hear, the programme is removing its dubbed voices to more authentically represent deaf people, as well as normalise the natural deaf voice.

Episode 2
Lucy Clark meets renowned portrait artist Richard Stone, who developed his artistic skills after an accident as a child left him with a fractured skull and permanent deafness in his right ear.

Richard has been painting the royal family for more than four decades, as well as other notable faces such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.
Yvonne and Radha meet Katie Littlejohns, a mum campaigning for free BSL courses for parents and guardians of deaf children. With 90 per cent of deaf children born to hearing parents with little or no knowledge of sign language, Katie shares her experience of parenting a deaf child and the importance of having access to learn sign language.
Kori Kaur talks to young deaf people about their struggles with mental health issues and highlights the issues with accessing specialist services.

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?
