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.It is 1996. England were good at football. New Labour was nothing more than the ramblings of a wild-eyed loner. Reef were a thing (Reef!). And Chris Evans and Danny Baker were rapidly reinventing British television.
Before TFI Friday the only light entertainment on offer was Bruce Forsyth in a tux, gurning at frightened families who only wanted a nice day out and maybe a new VCR. TFI Friday was ever so slightly different.
19 years on from its first airing, can Evans and co recreate the old magic? I am excited yet very, very frightened. Will the Jeremy Clarkson interview be illuminating or merely media mates slapping backs? What’s Ian Broudie doing there? Who are Years and Years? How in great actual earth has Kirstie Allsopp got herself involved? Will we finally get to see the Incredibly Tall Old Woman?
Most importantly, will it be as good as we remember?
