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.

I remember seeing this at the time and was really excited because I was seeing ABBA that night at Wembley Arena.  I remember being really disappointed the girls weren't there and thinking to myself, "I'm going to see them later!"

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)!
