I think I'm obliged to share a personal discovery I made fairly recently. It has been a month now but I still need to get this out of my system...
When
Bingolotto appears in FÅ they are in fact using old footage from a real broadcast. This material all originates from a 2½ hour long live broadcast that aired on TV4 Saturday the 14th of March 1998. How do I know this? I was there at the studio and even on camera that day.
My entire family traveled to Gothenburg to appear on set and spin on one of the lottery wheels. You can hear the host Loket say my name. Of course I was still only a child back then.
So I was going through an old recording of this entire broadcast because I wanted to capture the parts where my family shows up and have it stored digitally on my computer. That stuff appears in the first half so I soon enough got what I wanted and was about to stop right in the middle of the recording and call it a day, but for some reason I continued watching even if it felt pointless.
When I then saw the later half of the tape I was literally shocked. I recognized all the bits I've previously been so used to seeing in FÅ! The feeling was indescribable because this all of a sudden meant that I have a personal tie to the film (albeit very indirect).
I made this very quick comparison video as a sort of proof:

Bingolotto in FÅ uses the same exact broadcast.)
You can't make this up! I never would've dared thinking that it would be true. No one in my family knew about this. The idea that these things could've coincided with each other has been tantalizing before but I mean, that game show aired almost every weekend. What would be the odds? And to think I would find this only weeks after joining this forum!
Fate I tell you! ;-)
