In "It's in the walls" the building antiquarian Erika Åberg and Rickard Thunér, known from "Antique Round", go home to families and tell the story of their house.

In the latest season, SVT has chosen to bet on a celebrity system. Among other things, the celebrity photographer Bingo Rimér has learned more about his vicarage in Jämtland and the actor couple Julia Dufvenius and Christopher Wollter have learned about the history of their Stockholm home.

This has made Sverker Olofsson react negatively. On Facebook, the long-time host of the consumer magazine "Plus" writes that the program's strength has just been the unknown people who have learned about their house's history. The post has received over 400 likes.

I think it's so ridiculous with this necessity that a celebrity must be involved. What the hell is a celebrity anyway?! I think it's a shame and I also think it detracts from the program quality, says Olofsson to Aftonbladet.

SVT has declined to comment on Sverker Olofsson's views in Aftonbladet.
