Antikrundan is the Swedish version of the original BBC format Antiques Roadshow. The show visits different locations in Sweden and lets people bring their antiques to be valued by experts. It remains popular and often has more than two million viewers. The 29th season will be shown in summer 2018. Most of the experts have been with the programme since the start. Jesper Aspegren was the original host. He left in 2000 to become CEO of an auction house.[1] He was succeeded by Anne Lundberg.
Antikrundan started out as a coproduction between SVT Malmö and the BBC where the Antiques Roadshow would visit Scandinavia for two programmes. Antikrundan premiered in August 1989 on TV2 and has since been shown on SVT every year. The original british Antiques Roadshow has been broadcast to Sweden on various channels over the years, including SVT, BBC Lifestyle and TV8.
