Ricky Gervais mocks 'fragile' people in sweary rant amid Roald Dahl editing debate

Ricky Gervais teased that he's been "pondering" whether his comedy material will be amended after his death, amid the debate over planned changes to Roald Dahl 's books.

It was reported recently that new editions of children's books written by the late author are being edited to remove language that may be deemed offensive or inappropriate.

The changes - understood to be the result of a review into such books - are said to affect references to weight, mental health, violence, gender, and race. The word "fat," for example, has reportedly been removed from all of Roald's books.
