ABBA - Die ganze Geschichte

I like how this doco largely is narrated by ABBA themselves. It is slavishly even-handed and tries to be sympathetic to Agnetha, who at the height of their fame had two children but had to tour extensively. Oh, and go through a divorce.

I like the music they play, especially the unusual sessions like the TV special with Olivia Newton-John and Andy Gibb. The program exaggerates how tough ABBA had it - I mean, they got very rich and millions adored them. What more did they want? Still, it is quite touching when Anni-Frid and Agnetha are asked are they happy and they say life has ups and downs, and "some of the time".

I love the bit about them singing Chiquitita in Spanish.

This is very much a promotion, but it is entertaining.
