The broadcaster Greg James has apologised after being criticised over a promotional video for his followup to the Roald Dahl novel The Twits, in which it was suggested giving one of the principal characters a glass eye would make her disgusting.
In the video, James appeared with his colleague Chris Smith and the illustrator Emily Jones, as she rendered the characters the other two have written about. They listed several traits they felt would make them more unpleasant, including the addition of the glass eye, which Mrs Twit had in the original novel.
