Notes

Recorded at same time as "Show Express" for later broadcast (you can recognise the background and their hair is the same - plus only Frida and Agnetha have changed outfits, but Benny and Björn have not).

An introduction for this French New Year's Eve programme was filmed with Frida answering a red telephone to the hosts (a group of comedians known as "les charlots" in France, now they have split and work separately but they were quite famous at the time). Then they all sign a Super Trouper postcard and Agnetha holds it up to the camera and they all say "Happy New Year" in French.

Then the same "Happy New Year" performance is shown as on Swedish TV.

When you say someone is "sur son 31", it means he’s wearing his Sunday’s best.
