Synopsis: Alan Partridge, the splendidly insensitive alter ego of Steve Coogan, used Knowing Me, Knowing You as the title of his shambolic chat show, a series Björn has watched and enjoyed. Benny would like to see Rowan Atkinson and co's famous 'Super Duper' spoof from Not The Nine O'clock News ('One of us is ugly/One of us is cute/One of us you'd like to see in her birthday suit'). There is an agreeable lack of pomposity about these two Swedes; they wear their fame lightly and have an ability to laugh at both themselves and the ABBA years. But they are also fiercely protective of what they achieved as songwriters, producers, performers and musicians - which is why to hear them talk about their music is something special.
