Abba at the BBC
Abba at the BBC
A collection of memorable performances by the group. Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad were thrust into the limelight in 1974 when Waterloo triumphed at the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton, marking the start of their rise to fame. Various outings were captured by BBC cameras over the next few years and several are featured here alongside their Top of the Pops debut, archive interviews and footage featuring hits including Waterloo, Dancing Queen, Does Your Mother Know, Thank You for the Music, SOS, Fernando and Chiquitita. There is also a chance to see the foursome on a 1982 edition of Noel Edmonds' Late, Late Breakfast Show, which was Abba's last televised appearance in the UK
Abba at the BBC airs on BBC Two HD at 11:10 PM, Saturday 10 October. (Subtitles, repeat.)
