Rare MMDown Under Posted December 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Edinburgh Military Tattoo, this year featuring War Horse, with its most magnificent horse puppet. Always very moving. Highlights marching, dancing (red white and blue), violinist, and flute, bagpipes, gaelic singer, choir, solo singers, the finale with the lone piper always makes me cry. i attended one year without a ticket, so had to listen from a park below the Castle. "Dinner for One"1963 brilliant comedy where the butler plays all guests, who have passed, for 90 year old's birthday party. SBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted December 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2023 We'll be watching Dinner for One. Unless we've been on a cruise or at a NYE party we've watched it every year for more than ten years. So funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2023 My dad loves dinner for one. What time is it on SBS? DH and his brothers saw the Military Tattoo when they came to Sydney. Very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted December 30, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I am not a big fan of tattoos and am definitely against compulsory tattoos. They have done that in gge past and it wasn't good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it in Sydney a few years ago and also in 1997 when we did a big coach tour of British Isles, ticket to the tattoo were included. I always watch it on TV. A highlights version over the years was on TV last night, it was good. Edited December 30, 2023 by NSWP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mareblu Posted December 31, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 31, 2023 We watched it, Les, and it was, as always, enthralling. The precision drills are riveting, and the skirl of the pipes carry me to a far land, especially if the pipes and drums break into “Highland Cathedral” or “ Flower of Scotland”. The Lone Piper? So deeply moving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBS I thought the Tattoo was on earlier in the week but is available on iView. I saw the War Horse puppet last night when there was a program looking back at the history of the Tattoo. It is probably available on iView as well. The live ABC concert is always a total waste of time watching IMO. Dinner for One is always hysterical, especially as we know what it coming.

SBS "Compulsory viewing" wasn't meant to be a directive, but recommendation for quality viewing and a qood laugh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mareblu Posted January 2 #16 Share Posted January 2 I concur with all opinions here re Dinner for One. Watched it last night before another two riveting episodes of Vigil (Series 2). Dinner was indeed hilarious. It reminded me of the drunken waiter in Peter Sellers' equally hilarious movie, The Party. We have enjoyed that iconic piece of entertainment many times over the years. I don't know where you'd find it, but please watch it if you can dig it up. If you enjoyed Dinner for One, you'll love The Party. For a really gripping thriller, I can't recommend Vigil highly enough, but for character placement, start with Series 1. Available on Binge (Foxtel home page). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
