BBC One evening show The One Show has had to apologise for mixing up two famous British actors. Last night, Tuesday, February 7, a clip of medical drama, Casualty, from the early 1990s was shown and hosts said Vigil and Peep Show star Paterson Joseph appeared in it, when it was actually longtime Casualty icon, Patrick Robinson. Before signing off for Wednesday evening, host Jemaine Jenas, who was joined by Welsh TV presenter Alex Jones on the green sofa, apologised for the mistake.
The clip, which was from 1992, was shown as actress Anne Reid was appearing on the sofa alongside new Casualty star, Nigel Harman. Reid, star of Wallace and Gromit, Last Tango in Halifax, and more, was guest starring in Casualty back in the day and they'd dug out a vintage clip.
The One Show frontwoman, Lauren Laverne, wrongly said actor Paterson Joseph featured in the clip when it was actually Patrick Robinson. Apologising on Wednesday, February 8, Jermaine said: "We are really very sorry for an error in last night's programme. We showed a scene from Casualty featuring Anne Reid and wrongly mentioned that Paterson Joseph was in the clip as well. It was of course Patrick Robinson who famously played Martin 'Ash' Ashford, Paterson played Mark Grace later in the 90s. Our apologies to Patrick."
