The premise
Here’s the bit.
A professor dressed as a waiter introduces a television language lesson built around a restaurant visit.

He then waits on a customer whose attempt to order ham, eggs and tea turns into a brisk phonetic puzzle. A waitress arrives with information that makes the carefully negotiated order fall apart.
