Björn was interviewed tonight on UK television. ITV's current affairs programme 'On Assignment' visited him at the ABBA museum to discuss his advocacy of Sweden's trailblazing progression towards a cashless society. It was an interesting and balanced look at the pros and cons of the gradual demise of cash transactions. Highlights included seeing the Stockholm equivalent of a Big Issue seller accepting card payments, as well as Björn's admission that 'Money Money Money' would no longer work as a song title! Here's an article about the edition which contains a short clip of Björn's interview:

Whether by accident or design, the programme was followed by an advert which began to the strains of Dancing Queen. It was a preview of this Thursday's 'The Nation's Favourite 70s Number One' special. The programme runs from 8.30 - 10pm on ITV, though it's a countdown chart format so expect ABBA to feature mainly at the business end of the show.
