Additional information

Mainly Björn, but also Benny, took part in various press interviews to promote the release of ABBA's first studio album in 39 years - ABBA Voyage.

The following interviews appear to have taken place on the same day - based on the clothes they are wearing!   Björn wore a light blue suit (although looks light grey in some of the videos) with a black shirt.  Benny seemingly joined him that day for the BBC interview.  Although they may have been filmed/recorded on the same day, they were then broadcast at various times.

  1. BBC News (Benny & Björn)
    Colin Paterson interviewed Benny & Björn in their only UK interview.  They strolled along the area between Mono Music and RMV Studios and were interviewed in the studio.

  2. Sky Radio Christmas Station (Björn)
    Björn offiically declared Dutch Sky Radio's Christmas season open in an interview with Santa.  The radio station was renamed The Christmas Station for the month before Christmas. Björn said how he had always enjoyed Christmas and that now he had eight grandchildren, it got better and better. His four children would decide where a gathering would be held and they'd have a buffet.  He announced a brand new song, Little Things, and he was asked what his favourite Christmas song was and he said White Christmas by Bing Crosby and Phil Spector's Christmas album. He was also asked who he would like to spend Christmas with and he responded that it would be interesting to spend it with Frank Sinatra and gave the same answer to who he'd like to record a Christmas song with. He then declared the Christmas Station open and wished everyone a Merry Christmas.
