by Jaroslav Hasek dramatised in five parts by Barry Campbell from the translation by Cecil Parrott
with Richard Griffiths as Svejk and

A new serialisation of the classic Czech satire of life in the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the First World War. It is the tale of the progress of Josef Svejk, a dog-seller from Prague, officially classified as an idiot but in fact a deeply intelligent and cunning man, through the frequently lunatic, often sadistic bureaucracy of the Austrian military machine. As Svejk says himself: A monarchy as chaotic as this ought not to exist at all.'
