Svenska Sesam was the second Swedish version of Sesame Street. The series premiered on October 31, 1981[1] as a replacement for Sesam, the 1976 Swedish dub of the American version. 30 episodes were produced and aired from 1981 until 1982 over network SVT2 (Sveriges Television). The show took place behind the scenes of "Galateatern" (a theater) and had Swedish live actors, no puppet characters where used in those segments. The only puppets on the show were from the American sketches, that were dubbed in Swedish.
The show was written by Birgitta Götestam and Peter Flack, who also had minor roles on the show.
The show also featured two Swedish cartoon characters in inserts, Hansson (the parrot) and Fia Jansson (the hippopotamus), created by Owe Gustafson.
