The fourth TV show: #77 Dinner For One

There's a bunch of television traditions around the world, with plenty of Christmas specials and specific programming. The most common (outside of, it seems, English speaking countries) is the broadcast of Dinner For One, a roughly 18 minute long British sketch that was recorded for German television and spread around the globe - landing it the record for most repeated broadcast.

Is it funny? Sure. The repetition doesn't get old and escalates nicely. The performances are good and the story is set up well. I could see myself watching it a second time at some point. But it doesn't seem like something I'd make a tradition out of (although I'm not one to stick to traditions anyway). Remarkable, I suppose, more for its view of theater and its longevity than its comedy value.
