This appearance of ABBA was filmed on 28 May 1979 in Roma Studios, Madrid. The presenters were well-known Spanish actress Paca Gabaldón and Kiko Ledgard. Running order of the show: cultural quiz (competition), cleverness quiz (competition), Triana (banda) – Una Historia, ABBA – I Have A Dream, Hollywood Stars ballet, ABBA – Does Your Mother Know, Hollywood Stars ballet, ABBA – Voulez Vous, Orchestra dirigent Augusto Algueró (performed Encuentros en la 3 Fase, Tema de amor de Superman, Guerra de las Galaxias), ABBA – Chiquitita (Spanish). This is the only time Frida and Agnetha ever wore their skin-tight purple and pink Voulez Vous PROMO outfits without the little shiny bolero jackets over them. The recording ended at 3pm after an early start so ABBA only had one hour for their lunch in a nearby restaurant where they had grilled steak and salad before their next appointment - on Aplauso. During 'Voulez vous' Frida kisses Benny and you can clearly see the lipstick on Benny's face. Frida whispering in Agnetha's ear then tripping up as she runs behind her during 'Voulez Vous'. Could this have been an impromptu decision on Frida's part to "swap partners" to ease Agnetha's possible discomfort perhaps? After all news of her divorce from Björn was still fresh.
