[edit] History
Arne Weise was the first host but was replaced after just 4 episodes by Gunnar Oldin. In 1963 Nils-Petter Sundgren took over and would remain host for 28 years.
In 1991 Sundgren was replaced by the duo of Ulrika Knutson and Sven Hugo Pehrsson. A year later the show was dropped, but it was revived in 1994 with Gunnar Rehlin as host. He was replaced in 1998 by John Carlsson and a trio of female critics including Helena von Zweibergk, Jannike Åhlund, and Ulrika Knutson. In 2000 the faces of the show changed again, with Sara Wennerblom as host and Fredrik Sahlin as the main critic. In 2003 Orvar Säfström took over as host and sole critic. He was later joined by co-host/critic Emma Gray in 2004.
