Last Day Of The Year: Dinner For One

Today is the last day of the year!
This is a very special day, for one can say: I will take care of 'this or that' next year and in fact means tomorrow. Moreover, one can set new personal goals for the upcoming year. Or one can watch Dinner For One - a very popular short movie (18 minutes) shown every year on New Years Eve (in Germany)...

Dinner for One, also known as The 90th Birthday, or by its corresponding German title, Der 90. Geburtstag, is a comedy sketch written by British author Lauri Wylie for the theatre in the 1920s. German television station Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) recorded a performance of the piece in 1963, in its original English language. This short comical play subsequently went on to become the most frequently repeated TV programme ever (according to the Guinness Book of Records, 1988-1995 eds.; later editions no longer have the category).
