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.Fleabag and Normal People joined forces for a special TV crossover event, in aid of RTE’s Comic Relief in Ireland.
In the video, characters Marianne and Connell are seen taking part in separate confessions to the “Hot Priest” (Andrew Scott) from Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s hit show.
Eventually it transpires that Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) has stolen Connell’s (Connell Mescal) infamous chain after they fell out.
The couple then realise they are on either side of the priest’s confessional booth and begin to engage in a long-winded conversation about their relationship.
Filming took place at a social distance due to current lockdown rules.
Sharing the sketch on Twitter, Mescal urged people to donate to the charity.
Mescal and Edgar-Jones had previously performed a sketch that imagined Connell and Marianne’s life together, 40 years into the future.
Normal People was adapted from author Sally Rooney's novel of the same name, and received widespread critical acclaim – particuarly for the performances of its two stars.
Both Normal People and Fleabag are available now on BBC iPlayer.
