Summary: Super Douper!!
Comment: For any ABBA fans - this is something you MUST add to your collection. It is hours of pure ABBA Bliss. It focuses around the time of the Mamma Mia 25th Anniversary when Benny, Bjorn, Frida and Agnetha were all invited to London to reunite and celebrate 25 years of ABBA. It shows Benny arriving...and Bjorn...then Frida turns up (sporting a new lovely blonde hair do) but will Agentha show...? The documentary captures the excitement of the event, shows Mamma Mia rehearsals, lots of ABBA footage and some lovely interviews with Bjorn and Frida. Frida, especially, makes a huge contribution to the dvd, giving a long full interview, answering many great questions about her ABBA days etc..and a few times showing that her great humour is still there along with that naughty laugh and mysteriousness she's always had. She is just radiant. The highlights of the dvd for me all surround Frida. Firstly when Frida is in her dressing room and she is combing her hair and then goes into her wardrobe and says "What will i wear tonight? Maybe this? Or maybe this....(and pulls out her Orange Waterloo costume and holds it up to her)...do you know when i last wore this? It was 1974 in Brighton when we won the Eurovison Song Contest with Waterloo...". It's just a lovely little scene. :-) Then when Mamma Mia are performing Dancing Queen on stage and back stage Pete Waterman talks a little about how Frida was his Dancing Queen and he's standing beside her etc and you can hear the Dancing Queen chorus and Frida can't help but sing along "Haaaaving the tiiime of youur liiife - oooohhhh" lol. It's just the most wonderful moment but she is loving it completely and says something about wishing it was them back out there and your heart just melts. The third higlight is just after this when Benny and Bjorn walk out on stage and thank everyone for coming and then say that there is a special lady they would like to introduce and how without her none of this would have ever been possible - FRIDA. And Frida is walked onot the stage with some guy from the cast and she gets her shoe heel caught in the stage floor!! lol It's so funny, she has to stop and pull it out the floor then walks out to stand beside Benny and Bjorn with the shoe in her hand before leaning on Bjorn and Benny helping her put her shoe back on!! It's a great laugh then she ever so sweetly says "As you can see i have not been on stage in a very long time - i even lose my shoe!" It's so sweet and lovely and you just kinda go "Awwwwww Frida!!" lol. :-) Must buy this dvd - even if it's just for that scene! :-)

Summary: The memory lives on!
Comment: Having watched this when it was televised on ITV recently I was delighted to be able to purchase the DVD too. There are an extra 30 minutes of extras on here including a great interview with Frida who more or less answered all the questions that I would have asked.
The main documentary itself shows alot about Abba from their early days as a group and as individuals, at their peak and right up to the 30th Anniversary of Abba which sees 3 of the original members reunite at the 5th Anniversary of the musical Mamma Mia (can you guess which member declined to attend?)
What made it more interesting was that there were some footage of Abba that I had not seen before, I especially like the b/w clip of Frida singing the Supremes hit 'Baby Love' in Swedish.Just watch her 2 backing singers behind her, really camping it up.
All in all this DVD is a must for every Abba Fan. It gave me a more indepth insight into my favourite member Frida who's english sounded the best i'd ever heard her speak.BUY THIS DVD! I swear you won't be disappointed. It's 2 hours of pure heaven.

Comment: Absolutely fantastic - I could watch this again and again and thoroughly recommend it for anyone with even a vague interest in Abba. Highly emotional and very enjoyable piece of programming - a perfect tribute to a perfect four. May they live on for another 30 years!
