This programme takes viewers on a journey through ABBA’s remarkable career, showcasing their best performances and offering a mix of classic hits and exciting new content.
The show delves into the BBC archives, featuring appearances from Top of the Pops, Wogan, The Late Late Breakfast Show, and The Mike Yarwood Christmas Show. Viewers will be treated to ABBA’s timeless classics, including Waterloo, Dancing Queen, Thank You for the Music, and many more.
