Taskmaster star refuses to apologise over BBC blunder
Taskmaster star Victoria Coren Mitchell has refused to apologise for a Stranger Things blunder during the BBC's game show Only Connect.
During an episode of the show hosted by Coren Mitchell, contestants were asked to identify four groups of four words connected by a common thread in a segment known as the "connecting wall".
Four words referred to the last names of four cast members of Netflix's sci-fi teen dramedy: Sadie Sink, Cara Buono, Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard.
But Finn's surname was misspelled as 'Wolfhart', a mistake that fans were quick to notice on social media.

In the wake of the blunder, Coren Mitchell took to Twitter/X to acknowledging the misspelling, but insisted on not apologising for the oversight.
"Ooh, it seems we had a spelling mistake on the connecting wall last night! Wolfhard was written as Wolfhart. BUT I WON'T APOLOGIZE," she wrote.
"I think it's important to have an error in the Third Place Play-Off, like the deliberate flaw in a Persian carpet, lest God be offended."

For their part, fans of the show couldn't help but point out the mistake, with one person writing on Twitter/X: "So @OnlyConnectQuiz are ok with putting a clue on the board that's spelt wrong? Finn WolfharD is in Stranger things, but I don't know of a Finn Wolfhart. #onlyconnect."
Another jokingly said: "Absolutely incandescent about #OnlyConnect misspelling Finn Wolfhard's name, cancelling my subscription, putting my foot through the TV screen, sending them the bill etc."
"Only Connect spelling finn wolfhard's name wrong has caused outrage in my house," said another comment.
Only Connect airs on Monday at 8pm on BBC Two.
