Critical reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "the performers are versatile and willing, but presentation lacks imagination and showmanship."[3]
Sight and Sound wrote: "A skit set in a restaurant, it features Sellers in a variety of roles. He impersonates Groucho Marx relatively well but is inspired as a French restaurant manager and is even better as a conceited young English diner called Cedric, pretending to speak French. ("Avez vous le meatloaf salad and deux cups of Ie tea?") Milligan is on form but it's Sellers' protean brilliance that makes this memorable."[4]
