| Filmed | 10 November 1979 |
|---|---|
| Location | BBC Television Centre, Wood Lane, London, England |
| Broadcast | LIVE, BBC1, 10 November 1979, UK May 2007 - during a programme about pop stars on children's TV on BBC 4 - "Children's TV On Trial". |
| Released | Most of this clip has been officially released on the Voulez Vous Deluxe edition |
| Notes | Series 4, Episode 7 Benny and Björn were interviewed by
Noel Edmonds on the day of their last concert at Wembley Arena.
They took phone calls from fans and
Keith Chegwin talked to fans waiting for
ABBA outside the BBC TV Centre. Björn sounds like he'd had a
really heavy night drinking - probably just five nights in a row in concert
taking their toll on his voice. Is there some footage of the girls jogging here (someone I know seems to think so!) ?? I contacted Noel Edmonds to ask if he could remember how many times ABBA appeared on the show. His response was, "Sorry, I really can't remember!" These clips are not great quality but they show the programme in full.
If you want the interview in great quality, then you should buy the
Voulez Vous Deluxe edition |
| Duration | About 10 minutes |
| Watch Out For | 'Posh Paws' - the stuffed toy dinosaur behind Björn's head (his name was an anagram of Swap Shop)! |
