Lorry (TV series)
Encyclopedia
Lorry was a TV series that premiered on Swedish TV in 1989, broadcasted from restaurant Lorry in Sundbyberg. In the ensamble was Peter Dalle
, Johan Ulveson
, Claes Månsson, Lena Endre
, Gunnel Fred, Gunilla Röör, Suzanne Reuter, Ulla Skoog, Evamaria Björkström-Roos and Stefan Sauk
(sometimes known together as the Lorry gang, Swedish: Lorrygänget). They have also done a show on the Tyrol in 1991 and the movie Yrrol
in 1994.
The series was said to turn to a "divorced and mature youth", which was also the explanation for having the same title as a dancehall in Sundbyberg. Peter Dalle
was the central figure behind Lorry. He wrote the most part of the material and also directed the fourth and last season (the three first seasons were directed by Kjell Sundvall). Carsten Palmaer, Sven-Hugo Persson and Rolf Börjlind also contributed to the script. The Lorry gang became famous for their sharp, offensive and politically incorrect
humor, which even led to pressed charges to the broadcasting commission.
The TV-serie's opening credits song was Earth, Wind & Fire
hit "In the stone".
The Lorry gang returned in a variety show at the Oscar theather in Stockholm and it became a huge hit with the audience in 2001–2002. Parts of the show were sketches taken from the tv-series.
