Tony Hawks looks at comedians' love of suits in this 1994 clip

Tony Hawks delves into the wardrobes of some of Britain's favourite comedians in this vintage clip from the BBC archive.

The item comes from a 1994 edition of The Clothes Show and features the likes of Vic Reeves, Alexei Sayle, Lee Evans, Felix Dexter and Jack Dee talking about their love of a suit.

Greg Proops says: 'I feel a little better having some shoulders, because otherwise I look just like an apostrophe on stage.'
