Then you haven't seen the fabled "Dinner for One"
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 saw it once, must have been mid-80s. Our teacher at the Goethe
Institut was, as you say, quite shocked to discover that we not only had
never heard of it but watched in puzzled silence.
