A For ABBA

Filmed	1993
Location	Stockholm, Sweden
Broadcast	20th July 1993, BBC, UK
Notes	Presented by UK DJ John Peel (who would NEVER have presented a programme about ABBA while they were around!), this is a UK documentary telling the story of ABBA from the beginning to the and featuring the ABBA revival. There are fantastic short clips of ABBA TV appearances throughout including a snippet from ABBA in Japan of them performing "The Name Of The Game" which wasn't broadcast anywhere else (seemingly). There are also contributions throughout from the music business (Sir Tim Rice; Ian McCullough from Echo & The Bunnymen; Pete Waterman (he knows Stig very well; Eddi Reader from Fairground Attraction; Elvis Costello; Ray Davies from The Kinks; Roy Wood from Wizzard; Philip Hauenstein ) and others like the then Fashion Editor of the London Evening Standard Lowri Turner who talked out of her backside (and who now presents DIY programmes on TV). NB: John Peel died October 2004 NO CONTRIBUTION BY ABBA MEMBERS ESPECIALLY FOR THIS PROGRAMME
