Season 2, Episode ?
Pierre Salinger (former Press Secretary to President John F Kennedy) interviewed Stig Anderson in Stockholm and we saw ABBA at sound checks/rehearsals, in make-up and in concert on their 1979 tour.
ABBA were also briefly interviewed back at Polar Music Studios and sang a little bit of Thank You For The Music live at the end but it's pretty half-hearted.
The producer was Nola Safro.
