TELEVISION / Statistics : The Word
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.Eldorado (right) is back in the BBC1 Top 30. Two weeks ago, the soap entered the Top 30 for the first time since July on the back of a story-line that peaked with the death of the character Javier. Its re-entry at number 29 comes with no such peak. Egg on the face of Alan Yentob, the BBC1 controller, who pulled the plug on the show? 'I'll be pleased to see the programme go out in style,' he says.
A large audience - 14.52 million - was drawn to the first episode of A Year in Provence (Sun BBC1), 2.55 million fewer watched the following week. Its ITV opponent, The Darling Buds of May, progressed from 13.81 million to 14.31 million. Lipstick On Your Collar (Sun C4), has had successive slumps: it started on 5.57 million, fell to 4.79 million and then to 3.86 million.
