Whenever Sveriges Television makes a new programme series presented by Fredrik Lindström, Undercurrent is glued to the screen. As the series on Swedish dialects showed, it’s still possible to create engaging, playful television – auteur TV. The new series is about Sweden – “The world’s most modern country – but the world’s most insecure people?”, and the first of seven programmes aired last night. Both the programmes and supplementary material, Lindström time travelling into the recent Swedish past, are available from the website. Broadcasters are improving: There’s also an RSS feed.
