På spåret = On the trail

På spåret is a popular Swedish TV game show series broadcast on SVT since 5 September 1987. The show, which is intended to be humorous yet educational, has remained one of the most popular TV shows in Sweden, attracting an average of 2,150,000 viewers during the 2007 season. The all-time record was set in March 1990, when 3.7 million people tuned in to see the show. This means that nearly half of all Swedes saw the game show.

Two teams of well-known Swedes compete against each other. Participants are shown filmed journeys and the objective is for each team to identify the destination of the journey, using visual clues from the video, and additional clues from the host. The clues, which often include puns and far-fetched word play, get progressively easier as the train approaches its destination, and the number of points awarded for a correct answer accordingly declines. After the journey both teams answer questions related to the destination city, and collect more points.

The programme is presented by Kristian Luuk with judge Fredrik Lindström.

Hur ska jag släppa taget om dig
Utan att det lämnar spår
Jag har redan svårt att andas
Se dig när du går
Du är den som känner hela mig

Hur ska man släppa taget om nåt
Som hösten gör varje år
Vi har delat skratt och tårar
Kan bara vinka när du går
Och jag ville tro
Att jag känner hela dig

Titta på mig nu
Jag är på en öppen plats
Bara att jag fått älska nån
Är det bästa som jag haft

Titta på mig nu
Det finns ingen chans
Att du kommer tillbaks
Jag kan bara va glad
För det vi haft
Titta på mig nu

Jag vill inte få dig att vända om
Om du känner att du måste gå
Men det finns mycket kvar att säga
Som vi borde prata om
Men man kanske inte alltid kan förstå

Titta på mig nu
Jag är på en öppen plats
Bara att jag fått älska nån
Är det bästa som jag haft

Titta på mig nu
Det finns ingen chans
Att du kommer tillbaks
Jag kan bara va glad
För det vi haft

Titta på mig nu
