    One of the best shows made in the 80's

    I've seen this show many times as child. Four travelers in time have to retrieve a notebook containing notes crucial for saving of Earth. Despite the effort put in their study of 20th Century Earth, sometimes it is hard for the 24th Century people to stay inconspicuous, which leads to many, rather funny, situations. The show is with its idealistic vision of future Earth as peaceful place where the nations no longer fight each other best comparable to the Earth seen in American show "Star Trek". The reactions that heroes had to the 20th Century is similar to this that heroes of the old show "Galactica 1980" have when the Battlestar Galactica finally arrives to Earth. If you enjoyed the shows mentioned above, it is possible that you will enjoy this one as well. This show still remains to be the only sci-fi series made in the former Czechoslovakia and even in now-a-days Czech Republic.

    THE TV series for kids. And not only kids...

    This series, together with the Arabella, made by the same crew, are the most entertaining, funny, witty, you name it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen since anything that would equal these, not to say top them. Now, that I have access to all kinds of TV stations, all I can see are some absolutely dumb (mainly) american series. Stuff that I wouldn't let my kids watch for anything in the world. Maybe there are some worth watching, but I haven't seen or heard of them yet.

    Good Czech science fiction, full of fantasy and humor

    It is a wonderful example of what television can be, in the best tradition of the Czech TV series: this means fantasy, inventions, humor, good ideas; here, instead of fairy tales, we find science fiction. Director Ota Hofman and Jindrich Polak were provided with big means as for scenarios and special effects (big for that and today's time), but after all the value of their work lies not here. It is their direction itself, the good and cute actors, the rich screenplay, and the many original inventions scattered throughout the series. Everything is made more pleasant by the Czech sense of humor: this means that you are led to laughing not by someone who makes the fool of himself, by dirty jokes or by exaggerations of any kind. The humor is placed in the delicate double meaning - or absurdity - of some dialogs and situations. The main trigger of fun and laughing is the diversity between the visitors from the future and the people of 1984. Habits, conventional attitudes, laws, taboos, good manners are quiet different and often the visitors cannot help seeming strange and funny to the world of the past. Generally speaking, this is a further proof that vulgar jokes about sex are not at all necessary to make people laugh, and not the best means either. It is a good entertainment both for children and adults. Now that it is available on DVD there is the possibility of taking a chance, especially for those who were not enough lucky to see it on television (Czechoslovakians and Germans) when it was first broadcast. As in most Czech series and movies there is no political propaganda. There are only some hints to workers upheavals and protests in the Western World, but in a light way that one can forgive. The series was shot with great efforts between 1981 and 1983, and one can observe the changes in the aspect of the adult actors, and big changes in some children. Anyway, the seventies and the eighties were the best years for Czech television (and for other televisions too). Today's TV series should only blush of shame in front of this one. Furthermore, there is no sex whatsoever; though, there is some innocent erotics when the camera catches some shots of Dagmar Patrasova. In my opinion, she is one of the most beautiful women ever appeared on the screen. For male audiences it is almost impossible not to be amazed by her.

    The best series which was ever made in Czechoslovakia

    Hi, this series is the best what have been created in Czechoslovakia/Czech republic... Story, actors, music, atmosphere, humor... the best... There wasn't any better series than Navstevnici. The best actors, nice music (soundtrack). Todays series can't compare with this series. Hi, this series is the best what have been created in Czechoslovakia/Czech republic...

    Best children entertainment

    This series is one of the best examples of the very good Czech children entertainment tradition. Humorous, intelligent, exciting and imaginative.

    It is a pity, that this tradition got lost in late 80ies, and I hope it will grow up again someday - our children deserve better films than stupid violent "good-bad"-stories like "Sailormoon" or crap like that!

    • Trivia
      There was a real historian named Filip and his widow claimed the series was making fun of him, despite both writer and director claiming they never knew about his existence. The widow went to court and won. The production had to change the name of the character - in the series that had already been aired. For re-runs, they did it with blunt re-dubbing of every word "Filip" with "Richard", making it very obvious.
