Norwegian Television Video
A video from Norwegian Television has been found by fans showing Ben arriving at the fair and taking part in a mock contest with a female 'sheriff'.
Screen captures from the video are shown here
Ben arrived being chased by a 'sheriff'
A stand off ensues
Looks like Erik Bye stops the gunfight and recommends different types of 'shoot out'.
