Dinner for One

 

Dinner for One, starring Freddie Frinton and May Warden, is a short black-and-white comedy sketch recorded for German television in 1963, which has become a tradition on television not only in Germany but all around Europe where it is watched by millions every New Year's Eve.

To the Germans, 'Same procedure as last year?' is what 'Don't mention the war' in Fawlty Towers is to the British. Perhaps there should be some kind of cultural hostage exchange? Now even GOOGLE acknowledges it:

Go to google.com, type in DINNER FOR ONE, and when you see the display below ...

... click on the tigerhead in the top-right and watch what happens!

'Same procedure as last year?' Of course! After all, it's that time again.
