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.

The child stars from Outnumbered have reunited for a photo, prompting a joyous response from fans.

Tyger Drew-Honey, who played Jake in the BBC sitcom, shared the snap on his Instagram page.

In it, he stands smiling next to the actors who played his on-screen siblings, Ramona Marquez (Karen) and Daniel Roche (Ben).

The image was taken this weekend, with Drew-Honey captioning it: “Family. #grateful.”

“I love that you all still hang out so long after the show ended!” one fan wrote in response to the photo.

“Look how grown up they all are,” another added.

Outnumbered ran for six series from 2007 until 2014, lead by actors Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner, with the family reuniting for a one-off Christmas special in 2016.

Creator Andy Hamilton also hinted that same year that the show would likely return for intermittent specials moving forward.

“Our plan is to pop in every couple of years and see how the family is getting on,” he told The Telegraph.

“You learn not to think too far ahead, but who knows? Many years down the line there’ll be an episode where Karen becomes a grandmother.”

The series is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
