Default Beloved Freddie Frinton skit to air on UK TV for first time

Quote:
It is the most repeated, and possibly the most beloved, British comedy sketch in history, and yet most Britons have never heard of it.

Dinner for One, a 15-minute skit recorded in 1963 by Grimsby comedian Freddie Frinton, is a national institution in Germany, where it is screened every New Year’s Eve, and is also wildly popular in Scandinavia and the Baltics. [B]But while it holds the Guinness world record as the most repeated TV programme in history, perhaps remarkably, it has never before been broadcast on British TV.

Until now. Fifty-five years after Frinton recorded his sketch for the German broadcaster NDR, British TV viewers will have an opportunity to see it for the first time when Sky Arts broadcasts it on New Year’s Eve.

I started off watching this bored but by the end I was CRYING laughing
