This famous weekly series started broadcasting on 22 September 1970 and ended in 1988.

Frida answered three questions:

1. What does music mean in your life?
2. About stardom - what do you like the most and what do you consider the worst about being a pop star?
3. You've had so much success with ABBA, any form of success you've experienced and now as a solo artist, what's your next goal?  Is there anything to wish left?

She then performed To Turn The Stone. Apparently I Know There's Something Going On was also performed but this could just be a showing of the PROMO video.

The interviewer was Ad Visser.

Other guests featured in this episode included:

1. Charlene
2. Randy Crawford
3. Marvin Gaye
4. Eddy Grant
5. Julio Iglesias
6. Billy Preston
7. Paul Simon
8. Syreeta
9. J Geils Band
10. Kid Creole and the Coconuts
11. Roxy Music
12. Status Quo
13. Yazoo

Frida also recorded a link introducing "her friends" Agnetha and Tomas Ledin with a showing of the Never Again PROMO.

Saturday 16 October, AVRO, Netherlands - the whole thing

Ad Visser: Frida! Welcome. Question 1 - What does music mean in your life?
Frida:  Oh, without music I should suffer a lot.  It has meant a great deal all my life since I was a child.

AV:  2 - About stardom - what do you like the most and what do you consider the worst about being a pop star?
Frida: (laughs) er, what I like most is all the fans that like our music and my music so much that they do and really show it by writing letters and so on - and the worst thing ... I haven't experienced yet!
AV: Really?!
Frida: True!
AV: OK!

AV:  Last question - and that's about ... er, well ... you've had so much success with ABBA, any form of success you've experienced and now as a solo artist, what's your next goal?  Is there any ... anything to wish left?
Frida: (laughs) As time goes by, maybe you find something more to wish for, I don't know, but as it is right now I'm totally satisifed.  I take one day at a time.
