Description
This black and white film of the Youth Fellowship Congregational Church hosting a formal dinner for its young people, has been edited to resemble a spoof satirical newsreel film, with voice over narration.
The young people dress up as lords, ladies, surgeons, judges and celebrities, with invented names such as 'Dr. Loving Payday', with the menu presented in a British comedic satire format. Additional close-ups of the menu lists the courses overlaid with spoken comic narration.
The Congregation's Minister and local Mayor of Sanderstead with members of the Congregational fraternity greet the guests as they are formally presented to them. The meal is served in a banquet style with silver service, followed by choreographed group formation dancing in a large room after the meal.
