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.STEPHEN FRY (right) has always done aristocrats well - as numerous sketches in the BBC series A Bit of Fry and Laurie proved. What is surprising about his performance in the title role of Wilde (8.30pm Sky Premier), Brian Gilbert's biopic, is the unsettling pathos that he brings to the role of the doomed writer. This witty, yet ultimately tragic satellite premiere boasts a fine cast, including Jennifer Ehle as Wilde's long-suffering wife, and Tom Wilkinson as his sadistic tormentor. But Jude Law stands out, investing with the requisite sense of haughtiness the part of Wilde's heartless lover, Lord Alfred Douglas.
Prince Philip (9pm History Channel) has not always impressed with his diplomatic skills or tact - as many Chinese people could no doubt remind us. His life is profiled in this documentary tonight.
