The message before the National Anthem: “There is not an opportunity”

Per Andersson appeared on the Allsångsscenen as a drug-liberal librarian.
But SVT demanded that parts of the sketch must be deleted.
– They called and said “it was great fun, but there is absolutely no possibility that this can remain”, says Per Andersson.
The comedian Per Andersson49, was a secret guest in Tuesday’s premiere of “Allsång på Skansen” and came out on stage wearing a blonde wig. Turns out he was playing a drug liberal librarian. Among other things, the sketch was about the library having themed days about drugs and inviting pensioners to test drugs free of charge.
Among other things, the character mentioned that there was an activity called “ecstasy in the old days”. In addition, the librarian advised to bring the library card to “hack up the goods with it”.
Delete the crudest jokes
Per Andersson emphasizes afterwards that sketches should “hit a little in all directions”.
– I also think I had to delete some of the crudest jokes.
SVT did not react entirely positively when they got to see the intended sketch before the Allsång premiere.
– I played the sketch and they called and said “it was great fun, but there is absolutely no possibility that this can remain”. No, I said, I knew it.
“We save the smoking heroin jokes”
And he understands the decision.
– We save the smoking heroin jokes. They are in the show instead. It’s a kind show. But it’s fun with a librarian. You don’t think it’s going to happen, that it’s a drug-liberal librarian.
How much had to be ironed out?
– It is usually 30 minutes, so 98 percent… No, I won’t say that. It was a reasonable trifle.
