Frida performed Även en blomma and was interviewed by the programme host Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen, a well-known Danish TV personality.

They talked about a possible ABBA reunion and Frida answered that it wasn't impossible but that it would not be under the ABBA name but something else - if it were ever to happen. They talked in Danish/Swedish and Frida also said a few words in Norwegian. Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen also asked if she still liked the Norwegian "myseost" (special Norwegian cheese) as she'd grown up in Norway and Frida answered that she liked it back then.

This was a show focussing on AIDS. The whole programme was recorded live on an old ferry which, at the time, functioned as a restaurant.  

Även en blomma was recorded earlier on the car deck and was shown interspersed with poor Frida standing freezing outside the captain's deck which she was later invited into for the interview with Jarl. As a funny intro, Jarl said that Frida's warming up, opened a door and an operatic voice belts out behind it - was it Frida or not? Can't be sure!
