Beloved Freddie Frinton skit to air on UK TV for first time

Swedes are shocked when I tell them that their beloved piece of British culture is next to completely unknown in its native land.

i just watched this as per tradition, and wondered if if someone ever thought to post the video on hackernews only to find this article.

i knew this was a german production, but i had no idea that it it actually originated in the UK and yet was never played on UK TV before.

I count only thirteen broadcasts in German TV this year! Surely I'm mistaken?

it is worth noting that there actually exist multiple versions of it, as it apparently has been played and recorded multiple times
