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.IN HIS career-defining role, Bob Hoskins (right) is dynamite as Harold, an East End gangland leader whose empire is under threat in The Long Good Friday (10pm FilmFour). John Mackenzie's very memorable contribution to FilmFour's "Hard Men" season also features Helen Mirren as Hoskins' partner. The scene where Harold kidnaps his rivals, hangs them upside down in a butcher's freezer and rants that his manor has become "like Belfast on a bad night" lingers long in the mind.
Fans of Seinfeld, the hugely successful US sitcom, might be interested in watching Michael Richards (Kramer in the TV show) in the satellite premiere of Trial and Error (9pm Sky Moviemax). In this comedy from Jonathan Lynn, Richards plays a resting actor who has to stand in for a lawyer friend (Jeff Daniels) in court.
