The Old Town of Stockholm has been threatened many times. The worst was when, in 1959, a large motorway was pulled through the heart of the city, a sword cut that split the Old Town in two. The Riddarholm church, where the Swedish regents are buried, is trapped by the traffic that roars forward a few meters away. Who in France would come up with the idea of building a motorway next to Nôtre Dame?
Lorry was a TV series that premiered on Swedish TV in 1989, broadcast from restaurant Lorry in Sundbyberg. In the ensemble were Peter Dalle, Johan Ulveson, Claes Månsson, Lena Endre, Gunnel Fred, Gunilla Röör, Suzanne Reuter, Ulla Skoog, Evamaria Björkström-Roos and Stefan Sauk. They have also done a show on the Tyrol in 1991 and the movie Yrrol in 1994. The series was said to turn to a "divorced and mature youth", which was also the explanation for having the same title as a dancehall in Sundbyberg. Peter Dalle was the central figure behind Lorry. He wrote the most part of the material and also directed the fourth and last season. Carsten Palmaer, Sven-Hugo Persson and Rolf Börjlind also contributed to the script. The Lorry gang became famous for their sharp, offensive and politically incorrect humor, which even led to pressed charges to the broadcasting commission. The TV series's opening credits song was Earth, Wind & Fire's hit "In the stone". The Lorry gang returned in a variety show at the Oscar Theater in Stockholm and it became a huge hit with the audience in 2001–2002. Parts of the show were sketches taken from the TV series.
Björnes magasin was a Swedish children's TV program broadcast by SVT 31 August 1987–2004. It was produced and created by Kerstin Hedberg and Anita Bäckström. This program is about the teddy bear Björne, played by Jörgen Lantz and Pontus Gustafsson. Other actors who have appeared as Björne's "guests" in the program are among Robert Gustafsson, Eva Funck, Vanna Rosenberg, Anders Linder, Carl-Einar Häckner, Johan Ulveson and Anders Lundin. Together they often watch children's TV programs, which allowed the main programme to also function as a frame story. In 2006 Björnes magasin and Hjärnkontoret were voted as the 2nd best children's TV program on Folktoppen.
