Notes After the PROMO to The Day Before You Came is shown, ABBA give an interview to host Noel Edmonds and introduce clips of their favourite videos.

Agnetha chooses "Fernando" and a clip from ABBA - The Movie is shown.
Frida chooses "Dancing Queen" and a clip from ABBA - Live in Concert is shown.
Benny chooses "Chiquitita" and a clip from UNICEF - A Gift Of Song is shown and
Björn chooses "The Winner Takes It All"' and a clip from the PROMO is shown.

Fan Kevin Munn gets to meet them. At the end they performa a short but very live version of 'Thank You For The Music' which gets cut off from the broadcast as they were running late.  They did finish the song which is shown on the full version kept on tape at the BBC. You see them taking applause from the audience and Agnetha talks to Noel Edmonds about the sound problems with the microphone and pulls a funny face.

It's hard to believe that this interview was actually rehearsed due to the tension, attitudes and the way the interview goes. It seems strange that they would sit together in the order that they have (ie. Benny and Frida together) and yet, it would appear that there was a rehearsal and that it was intentional that Benny and Frida sat together. Click here for pictures.

Watch Out For The tension between Frida and Benny which is quite strong.
