A Dutch firm is hoping to cash in on the holiday season by selling lonely people a DVD featuring imaginary dinner guest.Single people and the bereaved will be able to liven up their holiday feasts with an assortment of scintillating dining companions,played by actors who eat and drink and converse according to a number of different scripts,from a romantic dinner to a heated discussion.The user can either set up a TV monitor at the dining room table or,as producer Chris Gribling suggests,simply "watch the DVD while sitting and eating in front of the television."
