Wonderful Times (Czech: Vyprávěj, literally Narrate) is a Czech retro television series. It was produced by Dramedy Productions, whose producers Filip Bobiňski and Petr Šizling created the series with screenwriter Rudolf Merkner.[2] The plot takes place in Czechoslovakia (later in the Czech Republic) and is set in real historical events that influence the stories of individual characters. Authors wanted to evoke atmosphere of the time with excerpts from Czechoslovak film weeklies of the time with original comments, by new historicizing commentary narrated by Vladimír Fišer, or by period music. The story is accompanied by the voice of the narrator, who was lent to the project by the actor Vojtěch Kotek and then by Matěj Hádek. The series was a large success and is considered one of the most successful projects of Czech Television.[3]
