Sally is so lovely.

[@user-ck9lm6xi1o]

rikzz0r She's insanely cute

[@Hamish..]

Ahaaaaaaaaahh

[@RuudJH]

She's one that you fall in love with at school

[@I_Don_t_want_a_handle]

Back off. She's mine.

Slowly but surely this channel is uploading entire episodes and as someone from a region that has no legal access to this show I deeply appreciate it

[@TheLinkoln18]

Possibly with the exception of North Korea, you can legally access the show from anywhere in the world. It is a commercial program, broadcast on a commercial channel in the UK, so watch away.

But WHERE IS IT? I’ve spent very little time looking but I’m easily frustrated as an American. Help me

[@MichaelCook84]

Sally always has the most amazing smile.

[@jaydee4697]

Did you know that it's UK law for everyone to refer to Sally Phillips as "lovely"?

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Scandinavians and the Dutch quite often speak amazing English, fully comprehending most of the nuance and the jokes, however subtle. It is very impressive and not a little shaming

[@Widdekuu91]

Thankyooouuu If we're blowing smoke anyway, can I add that the Dutch often speak German too, just so that they can communicate with their East-neighbours (who seem to know they have an awesome language and therefore don't bother learning Dutch in return.)

[@filipzawistowski4390]

I suppose if you think about it, these are Germanic languages (although English is heavily influenced by French), it's actually quite easy for a speaker of one language to learn very well another language from the same family. So for example it's not a huge leap for an Italian to learn Spanish (Romance family), or a Pole to learn Russian (Slavic family), or a Swedish speaker to learn English (Germanic family). The problem is it usually doesn't work the other way for native English speakers, because there is very, VERY little motivation for native English speakers to learn another language. English is already the global language, and everyone is desperate to learn it. So an English speaker learning Swedish or Dutch to a high level would be relatively easy, but go to the Netherlands or Sweden and try to practice and people will see you struggling and just speak English back to you. So being a native English speaker is a double edged sword, on the one hand you speak naturally and perfectly the most useful language in the world, on the other you feel like a tit when you see Germans, Dutch people and Swedes etc speaking English better than you 🤣 Sorry for that essay.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

@@filipzawistowski4390 Essays are ok. No apology required. I take your point about the similarities and differences between languages and their roots, and the fact that English has become the world lingua franca and agree that many, perhaps most, English people will not learn other languages. My point was really more about national characteristics perhaps. I do not accept that any European speaks the language "better" than me (🤣) but I recognise in the Dutch and Scandinavians an ability to fully engage with the nuances that allow them to enjoy and make quite subtle linguistic 'jokes'. In terms of derivation other languages feel closer and yet their speakers don't seem so idiomatically comfortable. I have known and worked with Swedes, Germans and Dutch and have had relationships with French folk and never feel that the Germans or French are as comfortable in English as the others. I worked 25 years for a Japanese company and some Japanese speak English extraordinarily well but only one that I have met ever really got inside the language. It's a conditioning thing and a national attitude thing. That was my point I think.

[@filipzawistowski4390]

@@PaulMcCaffreyfmac I agree :)

[@joonamato]

It's because we don't dub movies or TV in the nordic countries, and we start english classes at age 7 (at least in finland :))

sally is crazy and i love it

[@living4ward2it]

I'm loving this in direct proportion to how little you're enjoying it ha ha

[@mobiusenthusiast]

I have never wanted to kiss Sally as badly as I did when she started singing on that stage

[@Diegesis]

Sally is a treasure

[@user-ck9lm6xi1o]

This may sound strange, but I really wish these two starred in a pretty serious romdram. Directed by Sofia Coppola.

[@thelonelyelephant]

this already feels like one of the most romantic movies i’ve ever seen

[@p.art4705]

That does sound lovely.

[@eiveive]

you are so correct

[@dantean]

Have to love how the mannequins at the ABBA Museum are yet more lifelike than the four they were modeled after. A LOT more.

[@razzan532]

Sally is adorable.

What a great duo

"The thought of dropping down to our death is making the sight-seeing more vibrant!!!" LOL

[@cascooter]

The Finnish WILF!! I love her.

[@per-olamjomark7452]

Stockholm is lovely. But I must say that all travel shows seem to be using the same researcher to create the same dull routine. A rooftop walk, some overpriced drinks at the Ice bar, a pricy visit to Meatballs for the People, and finally a trip to the Abba museum. There is more to see in this town :)

[@williamb4652]

I think the deliberately light hearted and shallow nature of the program guides them towards some of the more clichéd attractions the city has to offer.

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

Yeah, I cringe at the tourist traps ...

[@limerence8365]

When I went to Stockholm I liked the museum with the giant ship that sank as soon as it set sail.

[@astroboirap]

no there isn't , it's a pile of crap

[@joealtmaier9271]

The English nation dish is Chicken Tikka Masala. For real! And as Weird Al wrote, You can't buy happiness; I guess I'll have to rent it!

[@Missfavourites]

I love ABBA!! - I have to see that museum hopefully I will get the chance :) Most people will probably think and say that Fish and Chips is the English national dish :D, or even Bangers and Mash, Shepherd's Pie etc. Yorkshire pudding is very famous although I get that is more national to the Yorkshire area :D ?

[@hin_hale]

I live in Stockholm and I had no idea you can take a tour on the rooftops! Where do I sign up?

[@stewrmo]

Contact the seagulls, they run the tours.

[@rebeccahagin3313]

I just want Sally Phillips to tell me constantly how masculine I am.

[@akumaplantstudios8869]

I'm not Sally Phillips but, crikey. You're looking pretty masculine today.

[@JafferManiar]

@5:01 According to James May (and Oz Clarke), the English national dish is "curry" and a good cuppa tea, the uniting drink.

[@joansmith69]

I'm glad Richard stood up for Norway towards that rude swede! ABBA?! More like, ABBADTIMETOHAVEEARS, am i right???

3:27 "with her entire blood supply no in here BONCE" omg that made me laugh so hard which also means a lot. When laughing unlike in other uses of English hard also means a lot. Or I guess the word penis comes to mind...But Im digressing!

They didn't finish their dishes at the restaurant and their drinks at the ice bar 😟

[@justincoleman3805]

It’s allowed.

[@Lones555]

Richard has never finished a dish on this show, I am beginning to think it is a running joke...

[@akumaplantstudios8869]

Always annoys me too.

[@tariaurora9276]

There have been times that he has finished the food. It could be I guess several reasons he doesn’t, either doesn’t like it, not hungry or not enough time. I would say it’s more of a time restriction, I can’t imagine every time they sit down to eat the crew has to wait around for them to finish their meals before they go on to film something else.

[@williamb4652]

TWO Insanely funny people , frozen Pee , off the tray , lovely wicked lady , practical Richard would have left it on the tray , for easy clean up . That, s a man thing .

[@jonas_gustafsson]

As a swede i can say that that Roof Tour guide is wrong. Norwegians, Swedes, Finnish and Danes are completely different and hate each others on a primal level. Swedes even has a saying that "With plutonium we shall bring the Danes to their knees". Everyone loves Icelandic people.

[@p.art4705]

'Is the princess Australien?' As a Dane, this really offended me!!!

[@faintsignal]

7:09 No Sally, you leave the frozen pee in the tray. The beauty of the prank is it has melted by the time it's discovered, and it's impossible to pick up without spilling piss.

[@adamhaycock7982]

I would say it’s harder to pick up piss soaked into carpet than piss in a tray

[@williamb4652]

That doesn’t sound right. If it’s still in the tray you could carefully mop it up.

[@HerHollyness]

Better, surely, would be to freeze your piss into some sort of letterbox sized Tupperware, then put that through the letterbox? People don’t really have doors you can slide things under any more.

53 SQUID to climb on a roof?! You couldn't make it up! It's literally FREE. I've been doing it all me life.

[@MrExEssex]

3:10 All you people (some below) who keep telling Scandinavians how good they are at English only encourage them to write signs like this one themselves. There are four glaring errors in five short lines of text displayed in a very public location. Stop telling the buggers they're good at English and then perhaps they might ask somebody who knows what they're doing. (And don't get me started on all the mistakes and misconceptions in Abba lyrics!)

[@henkearn1132]

im am sweedish and i mom tells i good on english thank you :DD he he ,,,,,,,,,

[@Bjorneization]

ja man dat grammar were very rubbish i agrees /Gritings from Svidän

[@grisflyt]

It should be "at," but "ABBA are" is correct English. Just as it is correct English to say "The Police are" and "Volvo are." "Is" would be correct if you speak Jamaican, but then you aren't speaking English at all, but (duh) Jamaican. More correctly Jamaican Patois, or Patwa or Patwah. You know there is a thing called levels? You have native speakers, then everybody else. A Swede is not likely to have any problem with an English SAT, but may stumble on prepositions. You stand on an island, but are in Australia. Not all prepositions are as intuitive. The ABBA lyrics were written in the 1970s. But lets dwell in the past when talking about the now. I would love to go to Bourbon Street in New Orleans, but I can't support their "peculiar institution." I just don't want my hard earned money to end up in the hands of slavers. It's a principle of mine. "Can you handle me the way I are?" is by an American artist from 2006. Or another American from 2009, "Concrete jungle where dreams are made of."

[@justincoleman3805]

It’s the melodies we remember. Not the lyrics.

[@joealtmaier9271]

So what does your sign in Danish look like? Have some humility.
