A German reworking of a 1960s British comedy sketch has become an internet hit.
The original Dinner for One is already cult viewing on New Year’s Eve in Germany and many Scandinavian countries.
In the new version,
renamed “the 90th Euro Rescue Summit or Euros for No-one,” the heads of
Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel have been superimposed on the
18-minute film’s two characters.
Merkel plays the original 90-year-old Miss Sophie in assuming her
friends are there but talks of the former Greek and Spanish prime
ministers. She also reprimands an absent British prime minister saying
that German would be spoken at the table.
And true to the original, Sarkozy the butler ends up worse for wear
having drunk for all his mistress’ guests, and then he is warned by
Merkel to think about his credit rating!
