Somehow I had basically missed the existence of Oliver Reed until this thread. Watched the Carson clip with Shelley Winters last night. Wow, what a piece of work.

I remember watching this at the time and, along with a lot of other people it seems, finding myself rushing to stuff a video in the VCR to try to record it.

― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 4 February 2017 07:14 (seven years ago) link
It's not obvious that the question-asker is female? Also I think there's some normalisation here - the 1970s were just a different world.

I'm not sure Benny Hill would address another man as "dear heart"

Benny Hill probably would use "dear heart" with either sex, it's a (possibly affected) local dialect thing.

I think, having spent far too much time on this, I like Tim Nicholls' answer the best. All I can find on him are several videos of the BBC1 signoffs from the eighties.
