Loto Parade

Sheila B Devotion was also a guest on the programme.  There is a picture of The Rubettes with ABBA but they are not listed in the French TV archives as being on the show so this picture is a bit of a mystery... perhaps they were recording another TV programme in the same or a next door studio?

Note that Guy Lux talks VERY quickly! 

He announces a surprise visit from the world-famous group ABBA and that Bjorn, Benny, Frida have come back from Midem and that Agnetha had stayed in Sweden because she has had a baby. He asks after Christian and Björn says he's fine.  Guy then asks after "The Daddy".  Björn says he's also fine.  "And Agnetha?"  Björn says, "fine I hope".  Guy questions why he says "I hope - hasn't he seen her for a long time?  and Björn says no. Then Guy Lux explains ABBA are releasing a film and ask for the title of the film in various languages but they all say ABBA - The Movie each time! Then he asks if it includes new or old songs. Frida answers new songs and old hits. Then he asks when is next ABBA tour. Bjorn answers no definitive plan but perhaps 1979. Then Guy Lux asks When do you come back on French TV. "Next invitation", says Bjorn and then he presents 'Take a chance on Me' and asks the group to give and translate the title in French.
