Satellite and Cable: 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.DESPITE THE success of the recent Scream films, Wes Craven's greatest contribution to the schlock-horror genre remains the monstrous Freddy Krueger (right), the appalling child-killer played with relish by Robert Englund. With this macabre figure, Craven showed that horror could be funny as well as scary. After some weak Nightmare on Elm Street films, the fiend hit top form again in Wes Craven's New Nightmare (10pm FilmFour), a 1994 update in which Freddy steps out of the horror film and into "real" life.
The Romans left us some amazing buildings. "Ancient Rome and its Mysterious Cities", this week's Ancient Mysteries (6pm History Channel), looks at how these monuments, built more than 2,000 years ago, have endured so well, despite the ravages of wars and natural disasters.
