BBC viewers who tuned into the latest instalment of The One Show were quick to label the show “quite off-putting” as they were left distracted by the evident colour clash during the programme.
The evening programme was back on Wednesday (April 9) with Clara Amfo and Alex Scott at the helm. Joining them on the famous green sofa was Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker and actors Emma Corrin and Diego Luna.
Before Clara and Alex spoke to their guests, they joined presenter Nikki Fox for a Watchdog update but fans were quickly put off with the bright red background on their screens as well as Niki’s red dress that appeared to clash with the backdrop.
Heading over to X in their droves, one fan demanded the BBC show to do better and wrote: “#watchdog #bbcwatchdog #theoneshow finding #nikkifox wearing a red dress in front of a red screen quite offputting. Better planning please.”
Another penned: “All that background red is too much.”
A third asked: “What’s going on with the colour clashes?” While another remarked: “Who didn’t get the dress colour memo?”
When Clara and Alex returned to present from the normal background that fans are accustomed to, viewers were relieved, with one writing: “Thank goodness normal colour has resumed.”
Last week, The One Show had to pause to issue an apology after a guest accidentally used foul language during the episode. Actress Sally Phillips was chatting on the BBC talk show when she slipped up and swore before the watershed.
While reflecting on another actor’s impressive skills, Sally shared a moment when she told her co-star Ben Miller, “Oh s**t, he’s really good.”
In the moment, presenter Alex Jones laughed at the comment, but later, her co-host Lauren Laverne addressed the slip-up, apologising to viewers.
The show quickly moved on to a segment discussing the decrease in children’s reading habits since the pandemic, focusing on an event to help get kids reading again.
But once the segment had finished, Lauren said: “Now I think speaking of language, and the love of language, we should just apologise for any fruity language. Sorry.”
The One Show airs Mondays-Fridays at 7pm on BBC One
