Sixty Minutes was the short-lived replacement to Nationwide, an early-evening week-night current affairs programme.

In the Entertainment section of the programme hosted by Sally Magnusson, Frida and BA Robertson (The Beast) were very briefly interviewed about ABBAcadabra and we saw a scene from rehearsals featuring Michael Praed (Aladdin), Sylvestor McCoy (Pinocchio) and Finola Hughes (Cinderella).
