The One Show viewers rip into ’embarrassing’ David Harbour interview

THE One Show viewers have questioned the amount of time dedicated to interviewing David Harbour and Bill Pullman.

Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas welcomed two Hollywood stars onto Monday’s episode as David Harbour and Bill Pullman discussed starring in Theresa Rebeck’s Mad House.

However, BBC viewers took to Twitter to complain the show had not allocated enough time to the interview.

Stranger Things actor David and Bill joined Alex and Jermaine in the studio from the beginning of the instalment.

However, it wasn’t until later on in the programme that the presenters quizzed the actors on their new West End show.

Alongside an array of shocked-faced emojis, one person tweeted: “The One Show spent way too much time on the boring Commonwealth Games than the amazing guests they had in the studio. What a wasted opportunity.”

Echoing their comments, someone else said: “What’s the point of having guests on, but not even talking to them?”

While a third remarked: “Two A-Listers sitting 20 minutes in the studio and being interviewed by Jermaine Jenas. So embarrassing.”

During the interview, Jermaine joked that the viewers “would kill him” if he didn’t ask David about Strangers Things. 

The One Show presenter asked: “Did you expect it to be such a huge success?”

“Not at all,” the Hollywood star candidly admitted.

“I remember when we were doing the first season, we were down in Atlanta, Netflix had given us a budget of about $20 and halfway through I remember my hair person going up to me when we were shooting episode four and she said, ‘I don’t think it’s going to work.’

“So by the time we wrapped I didn’t think we’d get a second season. 

“I thought we’d be the first Netflix show to never get a second season, we thought no one would watch it, it was going to be a disaster.”
