==Different versions== {{More citations needed section|date=November 2018}} The NDR television channel recorded several other versions in 1963. Danish TV shows a version in which no audience is heard. A third, 11-minute version was recorded by [[Schweizer Fernsehen]] (Swiss Television) with less alcohol drunk. Both the 18-minute and 11-minute versions have been released on DVD in Germany. In 1977, the [[Dutch public broadcasting system]] created a Dutch language version starring [[Joop Doderer]], but this never achieved the same popularity. In 1999, the NDR released a [[film colorization|colourised]] version. In [[Denmark]], a parody of the sketch was filmed, subtitled "The 80th Birthday", in which Miss Sophie's friends are still at the table (though the NDR version mentions that the last of Miss Sophie's friends died 25 years ago). Other versions have been produced in different [[German dialects]], including one in [[Low German]] (this version, "Dinner for One Up Platt," is also aired on NDR in rotation annually along with the original), various re-enactments or parodies by different comedians, and a version featuring the German [[Glove puppetry|glove puppet]] character [[Bernd das Brot]] ("Bernd the Bread") named "dinner for brot".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkS4H5fLcq4&t=10s|title = Dinner fΓΌr Brot|website = [[YouTube]]}}</ref> In 1992 a color version was filmed in the Frankfurt festival hall with Bodo Maria and Macha Stein. The resulting VHS cassette/DVD was dedicated to the Frankfurt [[UFA GmbH]] star [[Camilla Horn]]. Camilla Horn had originally been meant to play the role of Miss Sophie. However, she had to withdraw due to illness. On 24 December 2011, a digitally edited satirical version entitled "The 90th Euro rescue summit, or, Euros for No One", produced by Udo Eling and German state broadcaster ARD, was uploaded to YouTube. It features German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]] as Miss Sophie and French President [[Nicolas Sarkozy]] as her servant and has new German (and some French) dialogue about the [[European debt crisis|Eurozone debt crisis]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/8985912/Nicolas-Sarkozy-becomes-Angela-Merkels-tipsy-butler-in-YouTube-satire.html |title=Nicolas Sarkozy becomes Angela Merkel's tipsy butler in YouTube satire |first=Allan |last=Hall |work=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|date=31 December 2011}}</ref> In 2016, [[Netflix]] made a parody in which the guests are replaced with characters from Netflix shows, specifically [[Saul Goodman]] from ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' and ''[[Better Call Saul]]'', [[Frank Underwood (House of Cards)|Frank Underwood]] from ''[[House of Cards (US TV series)|House of Cards]]'', [[Pablo Escobar]] from ''[[Narcos (TV series)|Narcos]]'', and [[Crazy Eyes (character)|Crazy Eyes]] from ''[[Orange is the New Black]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://phindie.com/17019-dinner-for-one-the-greatest-cult-film-youve-never-heard-of/|title=''Dinner for One'': The greatest cult film you've never heard of|last=Eger|first=Henrik|date=12 February 2018|website=Phindie|access-date=25 January 2018}}</ref>
