Notes
After the PROMO to The Day Before You Came was shown, ABBA gave an interview to host Noel Edmonds and introduced clips of their favourite ABBA songs.

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

Fan Kevin Munn got to meet them. At the end they performed a short but very live version of 'Thank You For The Music' which got cut off from the broadcast as the live programme was running late. However, in the studio, they finished 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.

   

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