Episode lists: 79-91 (Pat a Mat na venkově)

When word first appeared of another Pat & Mat series in the making, it was via an announcement of the Zlín Film Festival's screening of the first episode, Postele. That was back in 2010. Another announcement came a year later, when Papírový servis was shown at the same festival a year late.

Further news did not appear online before a whole batch of eight episodes was released to TV in 2013, notably to Dutch VPRO, where they premiered on 9 June 2013. At that time these episodes were not listed anywhere (not even on the studio's official website), so I was left to make my own list. I made sure that Postele and Papírový servis were first and second due to their festival appearances, while the order of the rest of the 2011 and 2012 episodes was just a guess. I posted that list to Wikipedia hoping someone will eventually correct my wrong guesses, but nobody did. The official website of the studio lists the episodes in alphabetical order, the DVDs following them. As such, the episode listings of 2011 and 2012 available online are almost surely wrong.

Starting from 2014, Patmat film published regular updates from the studio when a new episode started production, so the last five episodes were indeed listed correctly.

UPDATE: Some time after writing this post, I noticed that the first eight episodes of this series were released on the Czech DVD Pat & Mat 9 while the series was still in production.

The DVD featured the episodes in chronological order, so I updated my list to reflect that order of episodes.
