The former Pointless presenter tells how the Thursday Murder Club got it wrong in Tunbridge Wells.
Author and presenter Richard Osman has explained why he mistakenly placed a Waitrose in Tunbridge Wells in one of his Kent-based books, leaving residents "furious".
Mr Osman said neither he nor his publishers fact-checked the assertion because they assumed the affluent town would have a branch of the supermarket. The former Pointless presenter, who grew up in Haywards Heath, told The Graham Norton Show in 2021 that people were "furious" with him over the mistake.
He said: "Even a copy editor who was able to say to me: 'Oh, by the way, Tuesday 15 July, 1973 is not a Tuesday, it's a Wednesday', even that person is like: 'Oh I don't need to check if there's a Waitrose in Tunbridge Wells'."Richard Osman on the set of The Thursday Murder Club with cast Sir Ben Kingsley, Pierce Brosnan, Dame Helen Mirren and Celia Imrie
