You all had to talk 'like that' - where a dinner suit, evening dress - just not relaxed. Now - they are too relaxed - the elastics positively drooping !!
I agree they were OTT in the beginning but I'm not certain that standards have dropped

A little swearing in comedy can be very funny.
The drink and cigarette never bothered me, but I wasn't keen on comedians using innuendos. Williams, Horne and Murdoch etc., never found that funny.
