I often stop by Stockholm City Hall on a whim as it is a good place for street photography. Got a bit lucky here as they were filming for the upcoming season of The Antiques Roadshow. Antikrundan in Swedish. Hosted since quite a few years by Anne Lundberg, she is the woman in the blue dress. She filmed a short sequence as I stopped and watched, and I think she did three takes here. In between all the waiting. The garden down by the Riddarfjärden bay was absolutely packed with people. And they all had something with them to be valuated by the experts. The queues went on forever. So I decided to go for a walk around the garden with my mirrorless Canon. The guy on his knees had brought with him a few old swords. You can also see one expert talking about a few knives. And much more. Oh, and when I left, I decided to bike over to a favorite lookout point and take a photo of City Hall. That is of course the last photo and if you have good eyes you can see all the people queuing in the garden.

Famous BBC program exported to a lot of countries. We have something like that called between Art and Kitsch but always inside a museum or castle.Perhaps the weather plays a role here.
Yes, filming outdoors weather permitting is the norm. Obviously they also shoot indoors, and if it rains they have to be ready for that. They filmed another show yesterday on Åland, the Finnish island.
I used to watch this show every Sunday years ago. It was very popular and was filmed inside a studio.
I wouldn't have the patience for those long lineups.
The antique evaluation event is a popular show I watch on Lifestyle. The people candid shots are quite nice.
A good photo opportunity.
