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.Julie Andrews has been crowned the Queen of Christmas television in a new poll to find our festive favourites.
A survey found the average Brit has watched her in Mary Poppins eight times at Christmas - making it the most watched festive film.
The Disney classic, starring Andrews as the singing nanny, is a regular in the Christmas schedules and topped the poll to find the most watched shows over the holidays.
It was followed closely by another of her films, The Sound of Music, and Home Alone and The Wizard of Oz - all of which have been seen around seven times.
The poll of 2,000 people, carried out on behalf of TV company Freeview, found viewers had watched The Snowman six times and The Great Escape around five times.
Strictly Come Dancing star Denise Van Outen, who is fronting the Freeview+ Christmas campaign, said: "It's no surprise to hear that we'll be tuning in to our family favourites once again - for me Christmas just wouldn't be the same without Mary Poppins. Having missed so much TV recently with rehearsals, I'll definitely be taking charge of the remote control this Christmas."
