Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Married, Single, Other certainly has the potential to stand on its own two, er, feet. Penned by debutant writer Peter Souter, a former ad-man, the series gives a flavour of three couples at different stages of their relationships.
Lillie (Davis), who works in a women's refuge, and Eddie (Dooley), a caring ambulanceman, are a rock-solid couple who have been together 16 years. Babs (Abbington) and Dickie (Kelly) are in a far less happy place. Fed up with his internet gambling and failed money-making schemes, she is on the verge of walking out. Meanwhile, Dickie's brother Clint (Little) and model Abbey (Raison) are at the start of their relationship and he is trying to convince her that he has kicked his lothario habit and is now the settling kind.
So, the new Cold Feet? Maybe. "Of course, you never know what people will like," 30-year-old Raison cautions. "It could be that everyone will tune into some celebrity show instead."
'Married, Single, Other' begins on ITV1 on 22 February
