HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 дек 2023
- Watch as these Grandparents from Tennessee watch “Dinner for One” - originally written by Lauri Wylie in the 1920s. The sketch was first performed live in the 1940s and was later adapted for television. We are watching the most famous version of the sketch, performed by Freddie Frinton and May Warden in 1963. The sketch has become a New Year’s Eve tradition in Germany and other parts of Europe. It is also known as “Der 90. Geburtstag” (The 90th Birthday).
Grandpa Ricky and Grandma Wanda are enjoying trying out new music and being introduced to new artists and movies, and exploring musical artists from all around the world.

Not a New Years Eve without this show! Happy New Year from Sweden!🇸🇪 😆
Thank you. Happy New Year to you as well.
Sverige also? 🙂
@@Kivas_Fajo yep

I'm 45 and I hardly remember a New Years Eve without "Dinner for one". After all this years I'm still enjoying it, even though I know what happens. I read the comments and realized all the different european countries who also watch this play. Always thought it's a "german thing" but I'm glad that we're not the only ones. 😄 I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year! 😘
Thank you so much! Happy New Year
In Sweden, apparently, they watch the Swiss recording of this masterpiece.
Edit 1: the only country that doesn't watch it is the UK, where it was originally made.
@@petergaskin1811 That's interesting.
@@petergaskin1811This is true. I live in the UK and never heard of it (or saw it) until two friends, one German and one Dane, started quoting it at me and expected me to know it. They were surprised I didn't know of it as it is apparently such a big New Year thing for them.
@@finncullen tbf, it is a german production, that will explain why you haven't heard about it 😉
The show turned 60 this year. And there is no New Year's Eve without that show. I always watched it and always will. :)
Fun fact: There even is a recolored version of this show but it drove the real fans mad. We prefer the black and white version. 😊
Thank you for sharing this information.
Hi from Denmark, we watch this at New Years Eve. And we have since 1971.
This is as we say in DK, a Classic!
Happy new Year to everybody!🇩🇰🥂🍀
Thank you for this information. Happy New Year!
@@grandparentsreact Same with the song you got playing in the background for the intro, Auld Lang Syne, we have that in a Danish version.
We sing it at a lot of social gatherings.

@@Tommysimonsen That's really cool. Thank you for sharing.
Except 1985. Our national television thought "people must be tired of it by now" but it caused a national outrawr and it's been on every year since then. 😂
@@imajinallthepurple Well, that's a fun fact. LOL.
Happy New Year from Germany! :)
I watched "Dinner for One" a million times! Okay, not a million times, but it's tradition to watch it in Germany. We even had this play at school (english class), learned about the background story and so on. I do know every line of this funny play! Btw.: "Dinner for One" runs multiple times on german television on eight different channels, so you can't miss it, when the tv is on. It runs over 30 times from 3 pm until 5 past midnight. In the evening like in a loop ... 5'35 on WDR, 5'40 on NDR, 5'55 on SWR and so on.
Frohes neues Jahr
Happy New Year 🥂
Thank you for watching and for sharing all this cool information.
Happy new year!
This is watched in many european countries, including Sweden. It's not really watched much anymore but before the internet TV played a much bigger role. So I still remember it being part of tradition to watch this.
Thank you for sharing this cool info with us.
I'm nearly 40, and I have watched it most of my life. My mother and father already watched for years before I was born and I'm from Denmark.
Thank you so much for watching.
I've been watching this for years since my Danish friends introduced me to it, never fails to amuse
We certainly enjoyed it
It's played in Australia every New Year's Eve before the evening news on SBS. It's been going for decades. A must watch.
Thank you for sharing that with us, and for watching with us.
Happy New Year from Germany! Late, but from the heart.
Thank you so much. Happy new year to you as well.
Greetings from Germany. Watching you guys reacting to it was a blast. 🤘🏻
So glad you watched it with us. It was a lot of fun.
That was nice! It’s British humoristic history, but this sketch became a piece of German culture too… it’s on many channels on new years eve for decades! Thanks and greetings!
Thank you for watching with us and sharing this information.
The video is filmed by a German tv-channel studio, with English actors.
It’s a German production
The play was performed in a small theater in London at the end of the 1950s. At some point, the head of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) ended up in the play. He was so enthusiastic that he hired the play and the troupe for the station. But that was not so easy. Freddie Frinton didn't want to go to Germany. He hated it. It was shortly after the Second World War and the mood was not so good. But it worked out (money?). The play was then recorded at the NDR broadcasting center. As it had to be done very quickly, the station's employees were sent away as spectators. What luck, they had a lot of fun, as you can hear. Then the recording was shown for the first time on New Year's Eve on NDR television. And again the next few years. At some point, the other broadcasters realized that "Dinner for One" was a hit and showed it on New Year's Eve too. Over the years, more and more foreign broadcasters joined in. But the cradle of the show is NDR and it has been a cult show in northern Germany ever since. No New Year's Eve without "Dinner", no matter where I am in the world. ♥😎☯☮
Thank you so much for sharing all this great information.

I was introduced to this film a few years ago (I'm English and live in England) by some Danish friends. What is strange - and they hardly believed me - is that this film is virtually unknown in the UK and has never been part of our New Year's Eve tradition. Perhaps we've never watched it because we see in it too much of what us Brits are really like!!
That's funny. Other people have been surprised to find out it is a tradition in countries other than their own. Never heard of it before here in the USA either.
I heard that from my British friends, too.Hardly could believe it, because it is such a strong tradition here in Germany. No New Years Eve without Diner For One. As well as 'Der Sylvesterpunsch' from the 70s comedy series 'Ein Herz und eine Seele'. That is the law!
I'm from Germany and I grew up with "Dinner for one". Still love it and always will. :) It's so cool that you are reacting to it.
We really enjoyed it. Thank you for watching with us.
I wach it all years im 60 years old and is a big tratition in my family ...happy new year ...greetings from germany Bavaria (munic)🫂👍
Happy new year!
The funny thing is that this was produced
in germany
in english
with english actors
in the early 1960s when very few people even spoke english in germany
and its almost unknown in the UK
That's what other viewers have been telling us. That is so interesting. Thank you for watching with us.
" I now declare this bazar open!"
That's great! Thank you for watching.
A must every New Year's Eve in Sweden. We have had it on state television since 1976 and it has been televised every New Year's Eve since then. I was 13 years old the first time and now 60 years old. Haven't missed it in a single year! ;) ;) :)
That's great. Thank you for watching with us.
I think I have watched this once almost every year for my whole life lol
I really like it and find it charming, but I have people around me who will laugh just as much every year😅
(Im in Norway)
Thank you so much for sharing this with us and for watching.
Ich liebe dieses Stück...wunderbar, danke.
It was our pleasure.
Hi Middle Franconia, Germany here. Great reaction!. Much better than some of the others I've seen.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Your reaction was like watching with family. I might subsitute the real thing on New Year with your video (since I don't have nay family left ot watch it with)@@grandparentsreact
Just read that back, sorry, sounds more depressing than it actually is. But spending New Year with friends is just not the same as watching Dinner for One with family.
@@tangawarra Well, we would welcome you watching with us every year. Thank you for your kind words.
Happy new year! Tank you for reacting to this screen play, which is a tradition in Scandinavia in addition to Germany. In Norway we started in 1980 watching it on the night before Christmas instead of New Year's Eve, but it did evolve to a New Year's Eve event as well.
Thank you for sharing this cool info. Happy new year!
Happy New Year! Greetings from Ostrobothnia region in Finland 🇫🇮 And yes, I'm also looking at Dinner for one at new years eve!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
Dinner for one was produced by the entertainer and comedian Peter Frankenfeld for German television NDR. And now you can't think of New Year's Eve without it! It's part of it, like tinsel at Christmas. To the history. Miss Sophie always enjoyed celebrating her birthday with her 4 friends. But little by little they all died so that they all survived! Now, the butler took over the role.
Thank you for watching and for sharing this information with us.
It was a sketch by Freddie Frinton, who performed it in seashore baths in Britain, but then german television asked him to do a recording of it for television. They put it on at Sylvester ... and from then on became a tradition due to its popularity.
Thank you for sharing this information with us.
I'm 34 atm and I literally grew up with this show, every year as far as I can remember, no matter in what capacity my family was celebrating, but we always watched dinner for one. And even later when I went on to go out with friends, we would for sure watch dinner for one.... even when I was abroad one year, I would make sure to have 20 minutes to myself to watch this segment!!!
And although, I really know every second of it, it's such a joy to watch every year
Ricky and I were just talking, and wondering if some fans take a drink every time James does. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@grandparentsreactoh yeah, you can do so. It's quiet popular and if you're a pro you not only drink when he drinks, but also every time he stumbled over the tiger head 😉
@@juwen7908 That's hilarious!
@juwen7908 that's what I do....at some point friends wanted to be mean and said I had to drink twice when I drank or was about to even so he actually didn't trip 🤣
Edit: The following statement was aimed at a different reaction. I am sorry for any disturbances that I might have created. The video the Grandparents reacted to is the NDR version.
This is the version of Swiss Television. It is more frugal than the German version recorded in 1961 by the German station NDR. E.g., there is no table cloth, the butler James doesn't ring the gong to get Miss Sophie into the dining hall, James' acting is reduced with the character of Admiral von Schneider.
The German version itself is also more funny -- if you have seen this show several times. They had a lady in the audience, NDR employees and their spouses, who laughed rather loudly, annoying the sound engineer. Nowadays just her laughter contributes so much to the show. If you have seen it several times, you know when she is going to laugh.
On the Internet archive there is a version of it available. I can't give you the link, RUclips keeps deleting my comments.
Thank you for telling us about this.
Hey, ich dachte auch erst, das wäre wieder die komische Schweizer Version, aber die kommt ganz ohne Intro, welches hier ja nur geskippt wurde, und mit ner echt anstrengenden Kameraführung. Aber hier ist alles gut, Kameraführung, Tischdecke ist da und auch der Gong 😉
Aber die deutsche Version konnte ich tatsächlich auf YT nicht mehr finden, nur die schweizer 😟
@@juwen7908 Du hast Recht, ich hatte das mit einer anderen Version verwechselt und dort sollte der Kommentar hin...
@@grandparentsreact I must apologize. I answered to the wrong video. You have reacted to the original German recording.
@@McGhinch alles klar 😉
Every new year since 1969 this has shown on Swedish TV and I don’t think I missed more then a handful and still it is as funny year after year. I start to worry that I been brainwashed after all this years so now I will check out your reaction and hopefully you find it funny…or else I’m just gone insane 😂
Still funny. These grandparents declare you SANE. LOL. Thanks for watching and making us laugh.
@@grandparentsreact thank you, I was worried. It’s kind strange that we have watch this sketch 3 yers more the Germany…😳
Oh, interesting. I've known, that you guys in scandivia shared this tradition with us germans, but I never knew, that you do this for soo long. Must be one of the first german shows ever, which is shown in other countries, I guess. 🤔
Soo cool.
Wish you a Happy New Year or ein Gesundes Neues Jahr 🍾🎉
Since 1976 it has been on Swedish television every New Year’s Eve except for one year. And that was because it had been a big earthquake in Indian Ocean and it was a it was a fundraiser for those affected by the earthquake.
A little trivia about the show is that is was made in a German version and in a Swiss version. The Swiss version is only aired in Sweden, Norway and of course in Switzerland.
Thank you for watching with us, and for sharing all this information with us.
Grandparents, you are very lovely humans! Happy new year !!!❤❤❤😊🎉
Thank you for your kind words. Happy new year to you.
Nice reaction. Sonic liked it too 😉. Hello from Marburg/Germany
Ha ha. Took me a minute to realize where Sonic was. Yes, we all enjoyed it. Thank you for watching with us.
Fun fact: Ask a Brit about it today and they will have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. ^^
How about that. Times just keep changing, don't they? Thank you for watching.
i had need years to find out, that james have to do work, when he brings her upp to bed.... i was such a naive Kid LOL
All children should be naive to such things. LOL. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Greetings from finland. Great reagtion 😂. We looked this every year in here, it is so hilarious! I laugh every time. Happy this year to you🎉😊
Thank you so much. Happy new year!
It spread from Germany through the world,you're welcome!
It was very entertaining
Our family had three movies we would watch during the holiday family gathering: The Prisoner of Zenda (with Peter Sellars), Start the Revolution Without Me, and The Muppet Movie.
Love it! We have a Christmas time tradition to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" each year.
I had to extend my Christmas season so I could watch IAWL year round. Ditto for the Alistair Sim Scrooge.😅
Okay, i‘ve never seen you before, but I‘m 19 seconds in and already wanna hug you. You give out such cute and friendly vibes.
Wow! Thank you so much. So glad you found our channel.
It's so funny it's a tradition in some countries like Germany, I watch it every year as a count down for the new year, it's showing on all the 3rd channels at different times, so if you miss one you catch it on the another, I have never seen this in England, only after moving to Germany in 1982, its still good for a giggle 😅
Thank you for sharing this information and for watching with us.
Correction...
The sketch premiered on SVT in 1969. It was supposed to be shown that year, but was stopped because the board of SVT (Swedish state public service) thought the program contained too much alcohol. On March 3, 1969, however, they dared to show it. Since 1976, the sketch has aired every year on New Year's Eve, with the exception of 2004 when the program was canceled due to the Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26 of that year
Thank you for sharing all this interesting information with us.
This was an English Comedy Sketch. Freddie Frinton always took as a drunk!
Thank you for watching with us, and for commenting.
😂best Xmas or New year movie, I reckon
That was a lot of fun
I didn't know it was so popular in Sweden too.
This sketch was recorded in Hamburg / Germany in 1962 (?).
Freddie Frinton was an anti-alcoholic and hated Germanic languages.
That's why this sketch is also shown in English on German TV
This sketch is part of New Year's Eve in Germany like the Christmas tree is part of Christmas
I love this sketch.
I hope everyone understood the last scene.
Someone said they grew up watching this every year, but as a child, they didn't get the last scene. Of course, that is a good thing. LOL
Every New Years Eve on the nation Swedish Telelvision. Same p. as last year.
LOL. Same procedure as every year. Happy new year to you.
This would've been the first holiday season of not seeing this scene, but no, you made sure I didn't haha 😂 Seen this in the Netherlands my wole life 🍾🎇👍
Glad we could help. LOL. Thank you for watching with us.
Oh boy, I have never watched "Dinner For One" this early on New Years Eve! glad you enjoyed it, and given how many copyright edits you had to do, I guess that´s why the original play is so hard to find. If I remember correctly, I once found it here n RUclips, but it was geoblocked. No problem to find the other, less good/popular version of it, for whatever reason...
Funny enough, this play is pretty much unknown outside of Germany, even in Great Britain, where Freddie Frinton was a popular actor, so I am always happy if it gets some attention from people outside of Germany!
Thank you for the suggestion, Ossborn. We truly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it took many hours of constant edits to get past multiple video and music copyright restrictions. Even the little tune in the background at the beginning and end was going to cause it to be blocked in many regions. Of course, the full reaction is available on Patreon.
It also runs every year in Scandinavia and Italy
actually we have watch it in Denmark for years on New Years Eve 11.45 PM
In Austria we have this on TV right before the sound of Vienna's huge church bell ringing at midnight. Then we dance into the new year to the Blue Danube waltz.
@@fairgreen42 That sounds like so much fun. Thank you for sharing this with us.

In the Netherlands we also watch this. It's great.

I used to watch this every year after moving to Germany, it was simply tradition here. I haven’t seen it for a while now, so watching it again was really funny. My dad was from Manchester and hearing James’ Northern accent is always a reminder of him, he also always said “by gum”.
I got the impression, though, that grandad here maybe didn’t find it quite so funny, he hardly laughed. Even grandma didn’t laugh as much as I did, although I already knew it all off by heart.
We both enjoyed it very much and we found it very funny. We are glad that you watched it with us.

I'm 32 and we've been watching Dinner for One in the family every year for as long as I can remember. It's just a tradition and part of it. There are now several funny parodies of it. For example, Dinner For Döner (Kebab) by Erkan and Steffan (two German comedians) and also the Kölsche (Cologne dialect) version of Dinner For One with Annete Frier and Ralf Schmitz.
Thank you for these suggestions. We have added them to our list.

Also a tradition in Sweden and Finland
We have heard from viewers in a lot of different countries that have this tradition. So much fun. Thank you for watching with us.
It can't be more german 🤣! If Freddy Frinton knew. Beeing a soldier during WW2, he - well- didn't liked Germany or the Germans. Then a famous german Entertainer - Peter Frankenfeld - saw their Sketch in Brighton. In the original on stage May Wardon's daughter was the partner of Frinton, but she became ill. The rest is history. Except for the recording of the Show infront of life audience. The broadcasting station NDR couldn't manage so fast to get a "regular" audience, so they incorporated employees. In the background you can hear a shrill female laughing, one of them. NDR found it anoying and nearly stopped the recording. She really was told to be more quiet! Today her laughing is a part of Dinner for One that no one wants to miss. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR from Germany 🍾🥂🍀 alex
Thank you for sharing this information. Happy New Year!
in norway this is a tradition every little christmas eve 23december.
Thank you for watching with us and for this information
Oh jes its the Real german Version of that play. Its locks simple but very hart to play becouse every one now it.
So glad you watched with us.
Well, I've grown up hearing that Norway watches it around Christmas or Easter time, the UK wasn't aware for a minute that it became a German classic, but seemingly the information was a bit completely wrong and a lot of Western European countries have joined this as "31st / Sylvester tradition going on..!" for so long we only remember when we missed it bc we were sick or literally babies 😂 😂 In Germany there have been many re-interpretations of this and that including local dialects/old languages, but to be fair to them all "Nothing beats the original" and that's a tradition that will be going on as long as a screen is there to watch it on.
Thank you for sharing all this info, and for watching with us.
I think you two would enjoy Fawlty towers, an English comedy starring John Cleese from Monty python ,if not on your channel then on your own time. Black Adder with Rowan Atkinson(Mr.Bean) is also worth a look.🥴

Produced for the NDR, the north German broadcasting service in 1961 and first aired in March '63, it became a tradition to watch it at New years eve...
And if I may a suggestion, beside the rumors, that Germans have no sense of humor, I put a link on of a sketch called "Das Bild hängt schief"- The picture is crooked... from the early 1970's

Thanks for watching and commenting.
Btw. this show was banned in Sweden for six years because of the high consumption of alcohol.
I wonder if that is why it wasn't a tradition in the USA. Ricky and I had never heard of it before one of our Patrons recommended it.
This is a tradition on New Year in a lot of countries outside of Germany, so a lot of people know this, but the British puplic is not that familiar with it. I think that is sad.

My pleasure. I really enjoyed watching you guys
Watch it since it’s such a stable new years thing since I was a little child, i didn’t understand it back then but just watching it was and still is hilarious.
In Norway as well,every Christmas.My mom laughed sooo loud every single year,a bit annoying,but funny too.
Thank you for sharing this with us, and thanks for watching.
Grandpa is already dead -
That's a horrible joke - and yet we both laughed about it. LOL. Thank you for watching.
Hello, my dears,
I recently discovered your videos and I have to say they are quite beautiful and wonderful. It seems to me that you have a great interest in new knowledge. That's why I would like to recommend you my two best explanation Fado music videos.
Fado is a unique blend of classical and folk music that beautifully captures the romantic soul of Portugal. In these videos, I provide English translations for the lyrics and additional explanations for each phrase as the song progresses.
I hope you like them!
