Pick of the Day: Satellite and Cable
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.WHILE NOT to all tastes, there is no denying the popularity of the long-running sitcom Red Dwarf (from 9pm UK Gold). Soon to return for another series on BBC2, it is responsible for giving us such words as "smeg". Fans of the sci-fi comedy created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor have been known to attend conventions wearing an H on their foreheads in homage to the hologram character, Rimmer (played by Chris Barrie, right). Those aficionados are in for a treat tonight with a screening of six episodes back to back.
After the success of The Full Monty, Robert Carlyle became a mega-star, able to snap up such prime roles as the baddie in the new Bond movie. However, he started out in relatively low- budget projects such as Riff Raff (10pm FilmFour), Ken Loach's affecting picture about an ex-con builder.
