ABBA Snowtime

ABBA open the show with "Chiquitita" (filmed during the same visit to Leysin as for ABBA in Switzerland). The programme was hosted by Dame Edna Everage. 

Agnetha is wearing the same black Australian VFL (Victorian Football League) jersey-top for Carlton Football Club she was seen wearing during ABBA - The Movie.  VFL is now known as AFL (Australian Football League) and both girls, and probably Benny and Björn too, received these shirts in 1977.  She may have been wearing it during the Switzerland filming as Channel 10 Australia was one of the many TV stations co-funding the whole project.
