Notes ABBA were interviewed by host Michel Drucker who dedicated half of his programme to the group and the release of "ABBA - The Movie" (entitled "Vive ABBA" in France).  At the beginning of the interview they speak one sentence in French each but the rest of it is in English and translated into French by the presenter. This is followed by "Money, Money, Money" from Abbadabbadoo (1976).

Benny, Björn and Frida only are then briefly interviewed before they all perform "Take A Chance On Me" in the studio with an acapella ending. They were wearing the red rabbit and green fox tunics.  However, it looks like they were seated through the whole performance which looks a bit weird!  Afterwards there's a further brief interview.

Agnetha sometimes appeared tired or angry and didn't smile a lot apart from during "Take A Chance On Me".

An "ABBA on TV" exclusive - these pictures are being shared for the first time since the original broadcast from what I can gather.

  

Duration just over 8 minutes
Watch Out For Agnetha appearing full length whilst also sitting down at the end of "Take A Chance On Me"!
Frida touching Benny's hand as she sings, "No I can't let go, 'cos I love you so"
