In order to get some footage for the show NHK's reporter actually visited the Norway-Japan Society's dinner event suiyokai in Ebisu earlier this year, and did interviews with some of our members. Although I haven't got footage of the whole show you can see the interview part below.

この間NHKでノルウェーの独特なTV番組「スローテレビ」について放送されました。

最近スローテレビはノルウェーを始め、他の国のメディアにも取り上げられ人気を集めています。NHKのテレビ番組のための収録が日本・ノルウェー協会の夕食会「水曜会」で行われ、協会のメンバー三人がインタビューに応じました。協会メンバーのインタビュー映像は以下でご覧になれます。

Interviewer: Why would you watch for as many as 8 hours!?

Lars: Because it is interesting! And the scenery is beautiful, isn't it? Isn't it?!

Anette: The program showing burning logs is also popular. These days the number of people who live in apartments rather than houses is increasing, and with apartments you won't always have space for a fireplace. Instead people can enjoy the atmosphere of the fireplace through watching their TV.

Ingrid: The truth is you don't really mean to watch that much of it, but then you somehow end up seeing the whole show! Since they're not doing anything in particular it is so realistic, it's like watching the real thing. That's what's so appealing about it.
