The Two Faces of Benny from ABBA

Episode 2 of 4

Finding out who tried to frame him for the death of the councillor, leads Angstrom to Benny from Abba. Stars Matthew Holness.

Matthew Holness stars as Knut 脜ngstr枚m, a brooding, alcoholic, maverick Swedish detective from the tough streets of Oslo.

Scandinavian detective yarn adapted from the bestselling 脜ngstr枚m trilogy by Martin English (writing as Bjorgen Swedenssonsson).

Following the death of his wife, 脜ngstr枚m is posted to the Njalsland peninsula where he becomes embroiled in a labyrinthine murder (or possibly not-murder) case which bears an eerie similarity to the Askeladden killings - a case from his distant past.

脜ngstr枚m and Mina try to find out who tried to frame him for the death of Councillor Birgid Lundstrom.

It's a trail which leads them straight to the door of Benny from ABBA.

But when that door opens, why is Benny from ABBA now Mexican?

Written by Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley.
