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.Steve Coogan remains an enigma.
Offscreen he has cultivated, unwittingly or not, the reputation as a difficult character. Yet his entire career has been built on taking potentially unpleasant comic creations and giving them a soul. His success with Alan Partridge, and numerous others, has seen him become one of the finest comic talents the UK has produced in the past 20 years. The box set comprises 14 discs with material ranging from his first appearances as Paul and Pauline Calf on Saturday Zoo to Saxondale, the curmudgeonly ex-roadie whose second series aired last year. There are obviously dips, but in all it is a joy. Recommended.
