Digital, Cable and Satellite Television: Pick of the Day
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.EVER SINCE Yes, Minister, Nigel Hawthorne (right) has been a big star over here, but The Madness of King George (10pm FilmFour), Nicholas Hytner's reading of the hit stage-play by Alan Bennett, launched the sixtysomething actor into worldwide stardom. He delivers a marvellous performance as the monarch whose grip on his mental health and crown declines alarmingly. Good support comes from Ian Holm and Helen Mirren.
Robert Redford is one of the most famous actors in the world, but he has also established a strong reputation for himself on the other side of the camera. In his accomplished film, Quiz Show (9.50pm UK Arena), Ralph Fiennes delivers a convincing performance as an all-American boy who becomes engulfed in a national scandal when he is caught cheating on the most popular TV quiz show of the day.
