European New Year's Eve TV staple Dinner for One to get prequel ... (The Guardian)

Based on a British variety sketch, comedy is traditionally shown at new year across swathes of mainland Europe.

“Of course, it would be a dream to produce a New Year’s Eve classic for the entire family.” Even without the support of a prequel, Dinner for One’s success as a cultural export continues unabated, its catchphrase “same procedure as every year” now received as much as a comment on its own ritualised function as Miss Sophie’s birthday traditions. Butler James (Freddie Frinton) rises to the challenge of raising a toast on behalf of each of Miss Sophie’s departed friends, impersonating them with increasing gusto as the alcohol flows over several courses.

He flew to India for New Year's Eve and met the love of his life (CNN)

Nikhil, from the US, and Hirva, from India, were two twentysomethings who met by chance in a crowded beach club in Goa, India one New Year's Eve.

"But it always does make me sort of pause and think, was this something that was meant to be? But it's hard to sort of put all the circumstances together and think otherwise." "He has a very intense personality, and that might have something to do with the fact that he lost his father at a young age. "But what stood out right from the start is that we were just really comfortable with each other, it was a lot of ease." "It certainly has significance," says Hirva of December 31. "It was typical club music," says Hirva of the songs playing in Tito's. Today, Hirva and Nikhil live happily together in a suburb in the midwestern US with their three kids. "She actually was very curt with me on the phone," says Nikhil. Hirva had never visited the US, and while Nikhil had been to India on vacation and to see family, he'd never lived there. And so I was trying to not share my phone number with him," says Hirva. "We agreed to do that and help them out," says Hirva. Nikhil, then in his 20s, and his brother, who are Indian American, traveled from their home in the US to western India to scatter some of their father's ashes.

Viva la New Year's revolution! (The Sydney Morning Herald)

I will not eat unless I go to the markets and ask for food in the local tongue; I will have no communication with anyone unless I am attempting to sound like Javier Bardem (with a little swagger in my hips); and when a tourist asks me for direction I sneer in perfectly accented Spanish that I don’t speak English and why don’t you try learn un poquito Espanol yourself. I am going to stick a picture of Rottnest on the top corner of my computer screen and make the channel swim my goal. A quick two-week course in martial arts will ensure I am not intimated by motorists. “Yo soy idiota,” is all I can say. And when I next come across some poor bugger broken down at the lights I won’t just look the other way or give them a “But what can I do?” gesture and drive on. Of course, fomenting revolution in the kitchen will just be the start. I will be prepared. I will demand a quick course in mechanics before handing over two grand. It was so limpid, so absurdly simple, so lacking in the kind of grand gesture that transform men and women into immortals I easily let it drop. Something beyond a mere resolution: I need a revolution. “No problem,” I said. I recomposed myself, looked up at the supermodel-cum-scientist and, a split second before opening my trap, lost my nerve.
