52 minutes, one restaurant, zero chill — British TV at its weirdest.
A waiter hurrying from table to table in a crowded Italian restaurant picks up titbits of conversation from the varied clientele.

Overlapping dialogue that'd make Altman jealous, compressed into 52 minutes.
Acting
Connie Booth's post-Fawlty glow in a tiny gem nobody's seen.
Director
David Cunliffe
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired on ITV's 'Playhouse' slot and promptly vanished — no home video release exists, making it pure archival luck if you find it.
Connie Booth filmed this right after divorcing John Cleese, quietly building a career separate from Fawlty Towers' shadow.
