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.ANTHONY HOPKINS has excelled at playing repressed older men - think of his moving performance as the emotionally inarticulate butler in The Remains of the Day. Under the same director, James Ivory, he turns in another masterly study of a man unable to express his feelings in Howards End (4pm Sky Cinema, right), a loving reading of the novel by EM Forster. In this Oscar-winning film, scripted by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, he plays the well-to- do Henry Wilcox who discreetly starts to court the independent-minded Margaret Schlegel (Emma Thompson).
Receiving its satellite premiere tonight is Nightwatch (10pm Sky Moviemax), a thriller starring Ewan McGregor. He plays a student who works as a night watchman in a morgue, where he becomes implicated in a series of murders.
