Bodyguardi is a comedy series by directors David Laňka and Martin Müller about two different bodyguards. Mikýřova hysteorie českých dějin offers an unconventional view of Czech history. Martin Mikyska, aka Mikýř, will guide the viewer through sites exceptional for Czech history. The documentary series Porno! shows the story of two Czech porn actors.
