Dinner for One: British comedy Germans have been laughing at for years (2018)


The 1960s TV sketch airs in the UK for the first time, decades after it became integral to New Year’s Eve for Europeans

Airing on Sky Arts on 31 December, the skit which holds the world record as the most repeated TV programme in history will finally be coming home. Germans have a stereotypical idea of British society divided by class, with an establishment of eccentric individuals “They are all here, Miss Sophie,” he says while serving mulligatawny and sherry, North Sea haddock and white wine, chicken with champagne, fruit and port. Frinton, a former fish filleter, was performing the sketch in a comedy club and Frankenfeld immediately invited him and Warden to Hamburg where they staged it in front of a live TV audience.
