    The two handymen got their names Pat and Mat in 1989, when production was resumed for Krátký film Prague. Before that time, the characters had remained nameless. Their names then also became the name of the show. The second season featured 6 episodes and ran from 1989–1990. As a result of its lack of dialogue, the show was syndicated around the world, being broadcast in more than 80 countries by the 1990s.
