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.BRUCE ROBINSON'S deliciously decadent, semi-autobiographical directorial debut Withnail and I (10.30pm FilmFour) has a strong cult following. It's an unrivalled portrait of two resting actors (Richard E Grant, right, and Paul McGann) on a bender in a run-down Lake District cottage owned by Withnail's odd uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) during the fag end of the 1960s.
How often have you been trapped at parties by Withnail bores reciting great screeds of the dialogue at you? Students still indulge in the Withnail drinking game, where they have to match the characters in the film drink for drink; they rarely last for more than half an hour. In the preceding Withnail and Us (10pm FilmFour), the film's enduring appeal is examined by Robinson, Grant, McGann, Ralph Brown and long-standing fans, Adam and Joe.
