It starts promisingly - Mr. Novák (Karel Augusta) criticizes the tired dramaturgy of TV programs, then Marta Skarlandtová speaks to him from the screen, asking if perhaps he could do it better... And they switch roles. The newsreader is suddenly sitting on Novák's sofa, Novák is inside the TV and can start creating an entertainment program to his liking. Why the big band with Karel Hala and Milan Chladil appeared in Novák's apartment remains a mystery, but it doesn't really matter. Classic Czechoslovak TV revue things start happening on the TV - every singer sings every song, Novák interferes with them at first... And it's still fun. For example, the parody of Hospital at the End of the City is good - Viktor "hockey player" Preiss is lying on a surgical bed and the surgeon Pavel Bobek approaches him with his song "Lásko, mně ubývá sil" with a hand drill. There's also a great clip to Ivan Mládek's butcher song, a stunningly sexy Lenka Filipová, the never-failing Waldo and Olga Matuška together with KTO... It's just a pity that the whole frantic section doesn't make sense. Blaming it on the character of Mr Novák, who is not familiar with the dramaturgy of the programs, seems to me like an ugly alibi. At least the three-quarters of an hour, which is unbearable in the final 15 minutes (among other things because only Helena Vondráčková, Jitka Zelenková and Karel Černoch appear in it again and again), should have some kind of thread. Thanks, however, for the nice and funny point. Cut it down to 30 minutes and organize it a bit… Then it would be fine.
