Stories From Norway - musical comedy TV series

If you like to check out musical TV series, this one might be worth keeping an eye out for. I don't think it's very widely distributed worldwide right now, but will probably show up sooner or later. It's airing on Australian TV currently.

It's a bit like Drunk History crossed with Flight of the Conchords. In each episode, a miscellaneous real-life event with some connection to Norway, is reenacted via musical numbers sung in English, interspersed with factual interview clips featuring  (I assume) real-life participants and commentators. Silliness ensues.

These clips musicalise the Norwegian rocket incident (why is it that embedding videos here hardly ever works for me):

Obviously not to be confused with that classic musical film, SONG OF NORWAY!

Now there's an Australian remake in the works, 'Stories from Oz'.
