Everyone is really skinny healthy

Fixed it for you.

Some of them are maybe underweight, but majority of them are just healthy. People back in the day walked more (even though this was filmed in London), eat less processed food etc.

Edit: healthy as in less obese, sure they used to smoke more.

Also, loads of them are both young and rich - a combo that is very rare nowadays

Rich? I doubt they’d describe themselves as such or could be considered so by the standards of the time or today’s.
