Expect a vacancy soon for a proofreader to work on Freeview’s EPG (Electronic Programme Guide), which is where I found this little howler.
Aside from the obvious question of how many BBC committee meetings it must have required in order to brainstorm the fantastically inventive title, The One Show (half a minute/back of a fag packet is my guess), one has to wonder if this is a genuine typo or a Freudian slip from one who is, perhaps not a fan of either The One Show or Louise Minchin. Well, I dunno. Maybe the EPG titlers are overworked and underpaid, as well as sometimes being poor judges of character; maybe the Minchin isn’t as lousie as you think.
Who’s that bloke on the left though? I’m sure I’ve seen him somewhere before.
