Nowadays, it is not part of Kjell Andersson's duties within the police to keep track of what happens to Gävlebocken.
But thirty years ago he was given a different assignment.
- Colin Nutley improvised a lot.
We were here to monitor traffic and such when the scenes were made and he asked if we could line up and act, says police Kjell Andersson.
Dance band life is depicted
Neither the goat nor the Gävle police play any major role in the film.
Instead, it is the life around a dance band in a Swedish small town that is at the center of the action.
- I think the film is good.
It shows a little of what it was like when you went around and danced.
I myself went around in different places in Gästrikland and Hälsingland, says Kjell Andersson.
And - of course, the movie goat burns in the end.
Which meant that SVT and other media got the chance to take the opportunity to document the usually elusive images.
