The One Show host Alex Jones was joined on the famous couch by Aidan Turner and Jenna Coleman as they discussed their new play. The pair take the lead roles as a couple in Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons, a rom-com about "what we say, how we say it, and what happens when we can’t say anything anymore."
As the pair were interviewed by Alex about the show, and were later joined by comedian and actor Ben Miller, some viewers thought they didn't appear happy, and they took to Twitter to comment. @FlopsyPickle asked: "Jenna Coleman doesn’t seem particularly happy to be there does she, actually nor does Aiden which is odd because he’s normally good in interviews.
They added: "Poor Ben Miller is trying to boost the mood." @dajohnson25 said: "Aidan Turner looks knackered and like he doesn't want to be there." And @AustinMansMan said: "Feeling for Alex during that interview."

Alex told viewers that Jenna, star of Doctor Who and Netflix drama The Sandman, and Poldark heart-throb Aidan hadn't started working together on the play yet. Asking Aidan to sum it up in three words, he replied "not enough words."
And she turned to him to explain what the unusual love story is about. "I'm going to give you the job of explaining," said Alex. "How many words, how many words?" he asked.
"You choose," she insisted. "Let me see how many I can do it in," he replied. He then told how it's about a couple called Oliver and Bernadette who live together when a 'hush law' is passed where they're only allowed to have 140 words per day.
"It's about how we communicate. The things we say to each other, who would we talk to," he said. The show opens in London's West End at the Harold Pinter Theatre in January before travelling to Manchester in March.
It will run at the Opera House from Tuesday, March 21 until Saturday, March 25, which Jenna is pleased about because Manchester is close to her heart. "I'm from Blackpool orginally. So Manchester is for me, when I was growing up, I used to go to the theatre all the time in Manchester."
Other viewers were delighted to see their TV favourites on their screens on Tuesday tea time. @xpinkpixiedollx said: "Jenna Coleman is just beautiful she's definitely one of my all time favourite actresses and a really lovely lady as well absolutely love her."
@_chloegeorgina echoed: "Jenna Coleman just made my day." @MelMelwing12 gasped: "#TheOneShow omg hard day at work, home to #AidanTurner wow, yum and drool." And @paulafoosp said: "Aiden Turner on tv. Always a bonus!"
