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.The full Top Gear line-up has been announced, with the likes of Eddie Jordan, Sabine Schmitz, Rory Read, Chris Harris joining Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc and - of course - The Stig.
Along with the official announcement, each presenter had a little something to say about their appointments.
Most of them explained how excited they were to be part of the iconic BBC show, yet the Helmet Head didn’t have too much to say except:
"-.-. .... . .— .. . —..— / .— . .——. .-. . / .... —- — . .-.-.-"
In case you were wondering, that’s morse code, and it actually translates into a fun little Star Wars reference from the latest film, The Force Awakens.
The phrase is in the trailer below, if you fancy having a go at figuring it out before we reveal all.
Top Gear returns to BBC Two this May with an exact air date yet to be announced. You can read all about the new line-up here.
