Clare Balding presents live coverage of the 156th Boat Race. More than 250,000 spectators will be gathered on the banks of the River Thames to watch the rowing crews from Oxford and Cambridge Universities race each other over the four-and-a-quarter-mile distance from Putney to Mortlake. Andrew Cotter leads the commentary alongside former Oxford coach Dan Topolski and former Cambridge President Wayne Pommen. Oxford have won four of the last five races and will, once again, be looking to assert their authority over the light blues of Cambridge.
Four-time Olympic Gold medallist and 10-time World Rowing Champion Sir Matt Pinsent will be reporting on all the action on the day and more expert analysis comes from Olympic Silver medallist and double Boat Race winner Acer Nethercott.

Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram are back for the second instalment of the new series of the action-packed adventure game show. Twenty more brave Brits travel halfway round the globe to take on quite possibly the world's largest collection of oversized foam obstacles. The winner is crowned Total Wipeout champion and walks away with £10,000.
Yet more brand-new obstacles make their debut, including the Super Walk Of Shame, a collection of unfeasibly high podiums which the contestants must try to cross – wobble-free.
Health and Safety officer Bob bites off more than he can chew, while Justice of the Peace Victor earns the nickname The Funky Judge. Other characters making their mark this week include a cheerleading couple from Scotland and Des, an egg-themed super hero.
The Big Balls are back, this time with the addition of The Motivator – a giant foam hammer designed to gently coax the hesitant into action... Tonight The Motivator claims its first victim in spectacular style.
This week the 12 remaining contestants battle Crash Mountain – a mechanical monster which causes havoc in a fast and furious combination of slips, falls and concussion.
The five dazed Dizzy Dummies are faced with the badly named Tippy Table Maze and the Blueberries, which whittle the field to the final brave three who face the gob-smackingly hard all-new Wipeout Zone.

Stephanie Beacham checks into Holby City hospital playing a feisty feminist who's unlucky in love, in Casualty – Love Of A Good Man.
Fiercely independent Monica (Beacham) is rushed into the ED after sustaining an electric shock when changing a light fitting. She's happy to be treated by Ruth but is scathing of the young doctor's need for approval from her male superiors. Refusing help from her long-time admirer, Jerry – who also received an electric shock – Monica is reluctant to admit she's in pain. But is it too late for Monica to let Jerry know that she does appreciate him after all?
Elsewhere, Yuki is distraught over the botched intubation and not entirely sure he was to blame. He is anxious to get to the bottom of events. Overcome with guilt, May confesses to him that she was actually at fault. Shocked that she lied to him, Yuki nevertheless agrees to stand by her and sacrifice his career while she owns up to Jordan. May has to decide whether to confess all to the senior medic or sacrifice friendship for ambition once more.
Meanwhile, Jay's future is still on the line over the clinical trial incident. When the lost medical notes which could clear him finally turn up at the ED, Fairfax gets to them first and tells Ruth that the notes prove Jay is at fault and, for Jay's sake, it's best that he doesn't see them. A distracted Ruth concurs. At the incident review Henry says that, without the notes, the case is still inconclusive but Ruth's subsequent outburst is quashed by Fairfax. Highly suspicious, Jay vows to find out the truth...
Monica is played by Stephanie Beacham, Ruth by Georgia Taylor, Jerry by Stephen Boxer, Yuki by Will Sharpe, May by Laura Aikman, Jay by Ben Turner, Fairfax by Michael Maloney and Henry by Tom Chadbon.
