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.MANY OF the recent obituaries of Oliver Reed (right) seemed to concentrate largely on his off-screen drinking exploits. But his magnetism as an actor should not be overlooked. In films such as Women In Love, Oliver! and I'll Never Forget What's 'is Name (11.50pm Sky Cinema), he exuded a rare screen presence. In this sparky social satire he plays an advertising hotshot being wooed by a tycoon (Orson Welles). Ignore Michael Winner's frenetic "look at me" direction - very 1967 - and focus rather on Reed's compelling performance.
There is much more to Placido Domingo than being one third of the Three Tenors. He stars as the lovelorn poet in John Schlesinger's Royal Opera House production of The Tales of Hoffmann (8pm Performance). He is supported by a strong line-up featuring Agnes Baltsa, Sir Geraint Evans and Robert Tear.
