The aristocrats were very well dressed in those days. I loved those clothes during the Chanel era.

@creolelady182 Glamour age! For those who could afford it...

Thank you, thank you! I do like the Tommy and Tuppence episodes - and aren't the clothes just too, too ma-valous!

Ah..the make up brings me back to those beautiful times...So perfect.....flawless....

Everyone seems quite spiffy and spirited, except Richards.

And 'tis much fun, though not at all fair, to hear the American accents. My ear certainly prefers the sounds of speech "in England's green and pleasant land".

Thank you, heroic and hardworking BaroqueJazzPlays. The more Agatha Christie, the better.

If and when you become more familiar with speech in England's green and pleasant land,

you will encounter some highly unpleasant "sounds of speech". Its not all posh, you know...... ;)

Yes, the diversity of speech patterns allows our now global society broad choices. And on occasion I select my vocabulary from cultures and classes I do not inhabit. Of course, my YouTube voice differs from my speaking voice.

I see and hear language as one of the arts. While disciplines apply, especially to the younger, motivated student and the business communicator, I live in a circumstance of age, full of verbal choices, dependent on good judgement.

Luxury is in the choice.

I heard no American accents, only hilarious parodies of American accents.

[sesanner]

@SetarehSilver

I completely agree. Hilarious parodies all around from my perspective.

Even with its on-screen linguistic artifice, perilously architectural hats, reshaped, madeup human faces, Agatha Christie's writing receives my respect and gratitude. But I seem willing to take only small doses of Tommy and Tuppence and their era on video.

This is comedic theatre approaching science fiction. Perhaps its genre is farce. Pleasant . . . farce.
