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.Vic Reeves first appeared on The Tube in the late Eighties, but was soon given a series of his own. Independent reviewer Stephen Pope recognised his star potential in this preview of the first episode, dating from 25 May 1990.
VIC REEVES BIG NIGHT OUT (10.30pm C4) opens and closes with the worst sub-Sinatra (or is it Monkhouse?) vocal rendition you'll ever hear. In between are some meaningless variety spoofs and dreadful Light Ent double-acts, topped with host Reeves's incomprehensible Geordie smarm. But against the odds, it's the funniest cabaret circuit TV transfer yet.
Reeves and Mortimer's `Shooting Stars' began a 41-date national tour yesterday (1 Nov) and runs until 19 December.
