"Germany" isn't the answer to any of those?

Dinner for One is an English sketch but never took of in the UK. A German managed to see it and brought the two actors over to Hamburg and they filmed it. It is filmed in black/white and is still shown in its original form.

I think for us Germans Dinner for One is just a huge tradition, I remember seeing it each New Year’s Eve, regardless what we did and withouton demand or recording it had to be timed properly. It’s like the Christmas Specials.
