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.Animated star Morph is to make a return to children's TV, 35 years after he made his debut.
The orange modelling clay figure and his mischievous sidekick Chas will appear in a new show for CBBC.
Morph was an early success for animation studio Aardman when he appeared on the BBC art show Take Hart, presented by the late Tony Hart. He later landed his own spin-off show and continued to appear with Hart on later series such as Hartbeat.
Morph also appeared in short films for children's series SMart, and had a brief cameo in drama series Ashes To Ashes.
The animated duo are to make a comeback in Ricky's Radical Reinventions, which will be screened on CBBC on Monday. It features Aardman animator Ricky Martin, who makes everyday objects come to life with his inventions.
CBBC controller Damian Kavanagh said: "It's exciting to be able to introduce Morph and Chas to our audience for the very first time - and parents will no doubt enjoy seeing them return to our screens too."
