Největší Čech

King Charles IV, the winner of the poll

Největší Čech (The Greatest Czech) is the Czech spin-off of the BBC Greatest Britons show;[1] a television poll of the populace to name the greatest Czech in history.[2] The series was broadcast by the national public-service broadcaster, Czech Television.[1] The presenter of the programme was Marek Eben,[3] who was also nominated to be in the Top 100; however, since he was presenting the show he was not eligible to be included in the final list.

The counting and ranking of the nomination votes took place during January 2005; the top 100 were announced on 5 May; and the final rankings were announced on 10 June 2005. The first round was won by the fictional genius Jára Cimrman, but he was disqualified.[4][5]

Jára Cimrman

The first round of official voting for Greatest Czech was won by the fictional character Jára Cimrman created by Czech humorists Jiří Šebánek, Zdeněk Svěrák (who himself took the 25th place) and Ladislav Smoljak (79th). The fact that he is not a real person disqualified him from taking the title, as the rules stated that "it is only possible to vote for someone who was either born on, lived on, or in any way acted on the soil of Bohemia, Moravia or Czech Silesia."[7]
