• A first-person feature by Leah McLaren (‘I longed for my mother’s attention’, 24 July, Magazine, p16) meant to say she was in her early teens in the late 80s, not the late 90s. Also, the therapist Salvador Minuchin was from Argentina, not El Salvador, and while Antoine Artaud’s birth name was used, the writer is better know as Antonin Artaud.
• An item at the end of a column (One more thing... 10 July, Magazine, p5) quoted from an article on the Refinery 29 website, which said, “the transphobic lobby is currently attempting to sue a rape crisis centre in Sussex [a provider of women-only spaces] for including a trans woman in their women’s support group: £61,000 has been raised towards the centre’s legal fees for this case”. To clarify: the case is being brought by a user of the centre and the money has been raised in support of her challenge, not towards the centre’s legal fees.
• We mistakenly said Keeley Hawes would play Barbara Stonehouse, the “surviving widow” of John Stonehouse, in a new ITV drama. The couple were divorced and John had remarried before his death in 1988 (Fraud scandal MP’s family in plea over new TV drama, 24 July, p5).
• The Australian drama series The Sullivans was made by Crawford Productions, not Grundy Television (Last night for the Poms: Ten ways that Neighbours left its mark on Britain, 24 July, p34).
