This video has become a New Year's tradition in parts of Europe. Apparently, though it is very, very English, it's never been aired on British television. I think the current status is that everyone in Austria knows it by heart, but no one in Britain has heard of it.

The sketch was originally performed in the 1920's in the British music halls.The 15 minute sketch is performed by Freddie Frinton and May Warden, and was filmed by NDR in Hamburg in 1963. In the early 1970's it became a regular part of the German New Years Eve celebrations.Over the years somehow, it has become a cult classic in Germany - to the extent that its shown on almost all the regional channels at some point during over New Year, and NDR shows it 6 or 7 times during New Year's Eve! Even one of the commercial stations will find a slot to show it in such is the popularity of the sketch. But its hardly known in the place it originated from - the UK.
Actually it would appear there is more than one version of this. At the address above there are some screen grabs. Look at the chairs in the video for the m&c link, and those in the 2nd and 3rd screen grab. They're different (plus the set looks a little different). However the actors are the same. Strange...
