The Guardian newspaper has published its latest corrections and clarifications column, addressing several factual errors that appeared in recent editions across various sections of the publication.
Educational and Career History Corrections
In a significant correction regarding comedian and actress Ronni Ancona's background, the newspaper clarified that she studied at Central Saint Martins and University College London, not at Edinburgh College of Art as previously stated. This error appeared in the Flashback section of the Saturday magazine on 15 November.
The publication also corrected information about Ancona's sketch show Big Impression, confirming that the programme ran until 2004, not 2003 as originally published. The error was attributed to an editing mistake during the production process.
Film and Television Production Updates
Regarding the BBC drama Prisoner 951, based on Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and her husband's book, the Guardian clarified that Zaghari-Ratcliffe was not a producer of the programme. This correction addresses information that appeared in the What's on preview section on 22 November.
Another film-related correction concerns Chris Foggin's festive film This Is Christmas. The newspaper acknowledged that the film was released in 2022, not last year as stated in a feature scheduled for the pre-printed What's on section on 29 November. The publication noted this particular error appeared in print versions only.
