The first names of actors Haley Bishop and Radina Drandova were misspelled in a piece about Host, a British horror film made during lockdown (“House of horror: the Zoom-call hit movie that has Hollywood quaking”, 16 August, page 10)
The Hague is around 2,000 miles from Beirut, not 4,000 as an article said (“How two devastating blasts 15 years apart drive Lebanese in their hunt for justice”, 16 August, page 26)
A travel guide to the best places for star-gazing and dark skies (“Starry Nights”, 16 August, Magazine, page 31) located Exmoor National Park in Devon; while around 30% of the park is in that county, the rest lies in Somerset where the Dunkery Beacon Country Hotel is also found. The same piece described Ongar in Essex as being “at the end of the Central Line”. That was true until 1994; it is now on a heritage line.
An article on the rising popularity of meal kits carried the wrong byline; it was written by Rebecca Smithers, not Jessica Rankin as stated (“Quesadillas or cashew stir-fry? Meal kits boom as UK seeks inspiration”, 16 August, page 47)
