Digital, Cable and Satellite Television: 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.BOB HOSKINS (right), who is currently filming the role of Mr Micawber for the BBC's starry version of David Copperfield, has had many high-profile film outings (Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Mona Lisa). But it is debatable whether he has ever surpassed The Long Good Friday (10.10pm FilmFour), his film debut as a lead. In John Mackenzie's memorable 1979 thriller, he simply dominates the screen as Harold Shand, the charismatic East End gangster whose empire comes under threat from mysterious terrorists. The scene where he hangs all his rivals upside down on meat- hooks to try to get to the bottom of the attacks on his manor lingers in the mind.
Many neutrals like the look of David O'Leary's young Elland Road outfit. They will be tested in tonight's clash, Leeds United vs Liverpool (7pm Sky Sports 1)
