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.Australian soap opera "Neighbours", consistently more popular in Britain than in its homeland, is giving UK viewers the chance to audition for a cameo role, broadcaster Five said Monday.
The show, which launched the careers of Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Guy Pearce, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and is offering female British fans the chance to appear as a character for a month in the serial.
Aspiring actresses can download the audition script and then upload their audition tapes on to video-sharing website YouTube.
A panel will pick the top five, with the top two decided by public vote. They will fly to Melbourne, where the show is filmed, before producers make the final decision.
"Neighbours is loved and watched by millions in the UK," Five's channel controller Richard Woolfe said.
"I'm thrilled we have the opportunity to find a brand new star and hand them the international stage Neighbours provides."
