Ricky Gervais Says Late Fame Kept Him 'Grounded'
Gervais said the BBC cut the clip to 30 seconds without swearing, and he joked viewers saw only half of it.
- On Friday, Ricky Gervais appeared on The One Show to promote his new Netflix animated series, Alley Cats, where producers selected a specific clip after finding only "30 seconds without swearing."
- Alley Cats is a six-episode adult animated series written, directed, and starring Gervais as Gus, a stray cat navigating a derelict London rowhouse with his foul-mouthed companions.
- Unlike typical animation where actors record solo, the cast recorded in the same room simultaneously, creating a "podcast feel" that captured natural, discursive banter between ensemble members.
- Gervais defended the show's frequent swearing, describing it as "for teenagers upwards," and noted viewers had only seen "half a clip" during the broadcast.
- The series aims to make viewers "love the cats" despite their existential angst, exploring mortality and companionship as characters navigate random side quests across sub-20-minute episodes.
