One the best I have seen there.

Har har har.
And people say the Germans have no sense of humour.

Then you haven't seen the fabled "Dinner for One"

This is an ages old (40 years or so) sketch with Freddie Frinton and
May Warden, with him as the butler and her as a forgetful old lady who
insists on a certain pantomime of invisible people for her birthday
dinner each year.

It was filmed by Norddeutscher Rundfunk in the 60s as being the
archetypal British class-based slapstick humour.

It's shown on New Year's Eve every year on almost all TV channels, not
only in Germany but over much of the rest of Europe outside the UK.

Germans tend to be quite shocked that most people in the UK have
neither seen nor heard of it.


I managed to watch it three times on new years eve from three different
channels

.... got the book somewhere
