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.THE STARS of Friends are never going to be cast in an Ingmar Bergman- type film, but they do their job well enough in lightweight comedies such as this. In Picture Perfect (8pm Sky Premier), Jennifer Aniston (right), plays a woman who in order to further her career asks boy-next-door Jay Mohr to pose as her boyfriend. Once this "partner" appears, she arouses the interest of a predatory colleague played by Kevin Bacon.
As his latest film, Mickey Blue Eyes, reminds us, Hugh Grant excels as an embarrassed Englishman. He adds another to his bulging portfolio of such roles in The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill, But Came Down a Mountain (6pm FilmFour). In Christopher Monger's light comedy, he and Ian McNeice play two surveyors sent to a Welsh village to ascertain whether they live by a hill or a mountain.
