Additional information

Karussell was a 45-minute long information and service program, produced and broadcast by Switzerland's public channel SRF, between 5 April 1977 and 10 June 1988. 

The host for this episode was Kurt Schaad. It featured a report called BBC in Leysin and consisted of footage of ABBA's visit to Switzerland including their arrival, a promotional message for ABBA in Switzerland, the press conference, ski-ing and interviews. It also included rehearsals of Lovers (Live a Little Longer) and Kisses of Fire.

There was also footage of The Jacksons and Boney M who both also featured in the other programmes made at the same time - Disco in the Snow and ABBA Snowtime.

The press conference seemed to largely concentrate on Agnetha and Björn's recent divorce announcement.

The narration was in Swiss-German.
