Björn was a guest on Eva Jinek's early evening show, Eva.
Identical twin ABBA fan sisters, Marja and Ellie, were also there and were able to chat with him.
On arrival in the studio, he got a standing ovation, apparently, never-heard of on Eva's programme.
Björn was in good form. He can be very funny! It wasn't particularly obvious what he was doing on the show - nothing was promoted exactly although a range of subjects was discussed: the secret to his youthful looks (song-writing); drinking 15-20 cups of coffee a day; his three marriages; being an inspiration or other artistes; which of his projects he's most proud of; of which part of the ABBA legacy he's protective.
They showed a clip of Noorderwind en Zuiderwind from The Hootenanny Singers in Holland and asked whether he could still sing it! They talked about his image as a pop star in 1974 and then talked about Eurovision.
An interesting question was whether he appreciated his fame and success at the time it happened and he regretted to say that he didn't.
