Wonderful to see an interview with the great man himself.

Apparently, Mr. Bestall was not used to wearing his false teeth but, because of his Edwardian etiquette he probably only put it in when visitors were coming
aka his dentures are rattling and inhibiting his speech

Mr. Bestall had a stammer, this is what rattled his teeth and inhibited him so
