Dinner For One

For some inexplicable reason, on Sylvester (new year's eve) Germans watch this short sketch by Freddie Frinton, an English comedian from the old music hall days. On this day, you can't switch the channel without it being shown. The sketch is of a 90 year old woman - Miss Sophie - celebrating her birthday. Though all her invited friends have died, James, her butler, has to pretend that they are all there. 'Same procedure as last year?' he asks. 'Same procedure as every year, James', replies Miss Sophie. People can use the phrase 'same procedure as..' and everyone knows the reference. Enjoy!
