Cable and Satellite: Pick of the Day
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.THERE WAS a time in the mid 1980s when Bob Hoskins (right) scarcely put a foot wrong in his choice of films. In Mona Lisa (10.45pm FilmFour), perhaps his key film from that period, he plays George, a small-time crook who comes out of prison and takes a job minding a call-girl (Cathy Tyson). His problems begin when he finds himself falling for her and he gets mixed up with a distinctly unpleasant hood (Michael Caine). Directed by Neil Jordan, it is showing as part of FilmFour's "Cannes Festival Winners" season.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea (7pm Sky Sports 1), a crucial game in the contest for the Premiership title, should be a positive advertisement for the benefits of foreign imports. Players such as Spurs' David Ginola and Gianfranco Zola of Chelsea have added a great deal to British league football.
