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 Ship (8pm C4) New six-part fly-on-the-wall series charting the fortunes of Tyneside's Swan Hunter shipyard, saved by Dutch company THC. Irene Cockcroft's documentary proves an eye-opener about the post- Thatcherite landscape. Most of Newcastle's young labour force has moved elsewhere - and no one wants to be nominated as a shop steward because they know it can affect employment and promotion prospects.
Classic Plant (8.30pm C4) As in plant machinery, kicking off with bulldozers and diggers. John Peel waxes lyrical about the "navvy" as these mechanical earth-movers were once known.
Heroes of Comedy (9pm C4) The recently deceased John Wells, and Peter Cook's widow Lin Cook, speaking on TV for the first time about her dead husband, join the usual suspects for this retrospective about the revered, much-missed, world-weary comedian, who died in 1995.
