Quoting:
"You are write..."
"So I am greatful"...

Ron, that must have been SOME party!! ;-)

There is yet another Platt version of "Dinner for One", this one a stage
version which is set in Mecklenburg. In this one, the lady is a tad less
refined... it's a different translation altogether. We taped it from TV
three years ago, but I don't know whether there's a transcript to be found
on the Internet. We were a little disappointed because, although it was
broadcast on a local station from Mecklenburg, the characters still speak
watered-down "Platt", and very slowly, just to make sure that every
"regular" German speaker can understand it. This makes the whole thing a bit
long-winded, and it sounds somewhat clumsy. Also, of course, no one could
possibly even get close to Freddie Frinton's performance.

Cheers,
Gabriele

Leiwe Lowlanders, ik wünsch ink en gued Niijaor!

There is also a tv version of Dinner for one in Low Saxon.
I have it on video cassette.
That's what the NDR (North German Television) has to say
about it:
"Zur Jahrtausendwende ließ der NDR allerdings eine colorierte Fassung
erstellen.
Im gleichen Jahr entstand "Dinner for One" up Platt. Das Stück wurde an der
Fritz-Reuter-Bühne in Schwerin aufgezeichnet."

The text is not as much different from the original as the radio version
below, but
still a little altered. And the setting is a northern German Gutshoff again.

Holt ink wacker!
