My first thought was that he had suffered a stroke. I knew about the overdose of painkillers, though that was back in 1999. I know he hasn't done much telly in the last few years, but I think he's been on since then with no noticeable speech problems.

This is from Wikipedia:~
On 31st December 2008 Smith appeared on Celebrity Mastermind. He was noted to have an issue with his speech which sounded as though he had suffered a stroke. People linked this to his addiction to ibuprofen in 1999. However, Griff Rhys Jones had already stated in an earlier television appearance that Smith was suffering the effects of the early stages of Parkinson�s Disease
