• Our review of a Channel 4 documentary (The Accused: National Treasures on Trial, 28 August, the New Review, p36), said Cliff Richard and Paul Gambaccini had faced sexual assault accusations during Operation Yewtree but incorrectly stated that “charges were dropped”. In fact, no charges were ever brought against either man.
• We neglected to credit the photographer Roger Alan Turner for the main image of Jackie Malton, which accompanied an interview with the former detective last week (The real Jane Tennison reveals the dark truth behind police TV fiction, 28 August, p36).
• On Lisa Batiashvili’s new album, Secret Love Letters, it is Giorgi Gigashvili at the piano for César Franck’s Sonata in A major, not Yannick Nézet-Séguin. The latter joins the violinist in Debussy’s Beau Soir and he also conducts (Home listening, 28 August, the New Review, p35).
• A graphic about the cost of living crisis (“How it all adds up”, 28 August, p4) said it would cost £1.82 a week to charge a mobile phone using a 5W charger for an hour a day, based on 52p per kWh. The calculation was adrift by two decimal places; it would cost just under 2p to charge.
• The law referred to in the title of Robert Harris’s new novel, Act of Oblivion, was passed by England’s parliament in 1660, not 1652, as a review said (On the run from a vengeful loyalist, 28 August, the New Review, p43). The full name of the edict was An Act of Free and General Pardon, Indemnity, and Oblivion.
