A New-Years-Eve tradition in Germany: an ancient British music hall sketch, starring Freddie Frinton and May Warden.
The sketch is virtually unknown in the English-speaking world:

Here is the version recorded by Swiss television (11 min):

And that's the version recorded by German television in 1963 (18 min). Frinton refused to play the sketch in German, therefore, at the time,
it was seen as necessary to present it with a German introduction.

Do you find it funny?
