Dinner for one

Yesterday I watched Dinner for One on Norwegian TV.
This very short sketch in English has become part of Christmas tradition in this country (in other European countries it is shown on New Year's Eve, I have read), and it has been broadcast every year since 1980!

Miss Sophie is celebrating her 90th birthday.
Her four invited friends were not lucky enough to reach that age, so her trusted butler James pretends they are there - Sir Toby, Admiral von Schneider, Mr. Pommeroy and Mr. Winterbottom.
