OM (1978) update 3: Hopperi och hoppsansa

Another one, from the Swedish channel Introkungarna. It's also from the serie OM but not titled with it. 1984 episode. Mainly 2 brief scenes at the end sitting, cross legged. Previously also walking, starting in the middle. 

There's a shorter clip from someone else, missing these scenes (and OM title).

Boy is even younger than appears, maybe 6 yo. And very few (good) scenes.

So rating ~4-5.

Main post f/m currently rating 5-(6), I hope to find more.

Update 12: Tom Turbo (1993)

There weren't any bibs scenes shown for a long time on the weekly 2 re-broadcasts. Last real bibs (boy in purple) were I think 1.5 years ago. Again girl Fanny in great bibs. Maybe this was her first appearance. Also grown-ups in silver shiny coveralls. Not sure about the order of broadcasts. Episode: Die UFO-Oma. Ep. 235 season 9 (2002). Aired last Sunday, available on the ORF Mediathek for 5 days. 

Also sitting (distance, garden chair), some brief rear views and sliding down a tube slide. Briefly checked. I have her in several other episodes (so no need for more pics), rating 7 (boys also rating up to 7). Fanny in updates 2, 4, 6, 7, best maybe in update 7.

Meanwhile the feature film Tom Turbo – Von 0 auf 111 is available on YouTube. I think no bibs. I also have to check for new books, but I think they are reprints of the OOP books. Related later book series is Fritz Fantom, there are now at least 4 books and other merchandise, but probably none of interest (I think no photos but drawings aimed at younger kids).

Main overview post f/m

Pojken i eken

 

Educational short film, 30 min.
Year: 1988
-Year in film: 1980s 
-Country: Sweden 
-Who in bibs: Malte 8 
-Available on DVD: no ?       
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium+    
-Rating:  6/10 ?     
-Rating: ******
-Comment: I think Richard Blom as 8 yo main character Malte in I think 2 different pairs. Some good scenes, climbing up a tree and some close ups. Or is this another boy?

Another great one from the recently found Swedish channel.

Title means Boy in Oak tree. Aka "Barn under samma himmel". Director and script by Åke Sandgren ("Kådisbellan" The Slingshot 1993), Producer Bert Sundberg ("Barnens detektivbyrå (1991)" girl rating 4). No entry on IMDb.

Shown on a not named festival with 30 movies. Few dialogues are inteded.  

Rating (5)-6. 

 

Webfinds/Book (VHS ?): In Touch


Recently, I found this 3 level ELT course, I think primary course from Pearson Longman, ca 2001. In the book "In Touch 2", there is this pic of a girl called Kim in shortalls on page 66 and a girl headshot on page 112 (different colored straps, girl Anita a bit older about Iceland). The same pics are I think in course Friends. At least for the latter one is a VHS Friends in London. Also check my ELT blog, but I haven't found much info about that VHS.

"The Londoners" is a subseries in the book (and maybe VHS) consisiting of 2 boys and 2 girls including Kim and Jenny pictured. All shown on page 6. Screenshots are usually used in the books, but not sure about this one. The VHS should be about 2 friends. Might be Kim and another girl Vicky. That is likely for several reasons. They are also on audio CD at least for level 3.

There is also a combined CD pack for both courses, probably audio CD and not CD-ROM. Terms are usually confusing; DVDs are usually DVD-ROMs. And often there are additional online clips and pics (at least for more recent courses). The courses here are OOP and replaced with Wider World, girls rating 5. I have some more courses here and on my other blog. Best is GoGetter (teen boy rating 5).

OM (1978) update 2

 

Educational pre-school series 
Year: 1967-1985 ?
-Year in film: 1978 
-Country: Sweden 
-Who in bibs: girl ~8 ?, others
-Available on DVD: no ?       
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium - *    
-Rating:  5/10 ?     
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Yesterday, I did some research for about 1 hour but haven't found much. IMDb has an entry (1978-1985). But they only have 2 episodes one from 1978 and one from 1985. Utbildningsradion maybe started in 1978, but I found confirmed earlier episodes by TRU, as mentioned before. At least since 1973. TRU was founded in 1967, and I assume that they did OM right from the beginning (in b&w). 

To find the exact date, amount of episodes etc, it would require extensive research online and offline and knowledge of Swedish. (Can anybody help?) But I usually take the IMDb date anyway (although wrong) to better find that entry.

Pic from the announced clip Informationsprogram om vårens OM-program 1979. Originally from ep OM - jag skulle ta med nallen eller, aired Feb 1979. Plot is about a sleepover. Played by deaf kids and grown-ups. 

Ialso checked and updated all 5 episodes of  Hallå! Vadå?.

Main posts rating up to 5-(6)

Update: OM (f/m) rating 5-6

 

I have checked all episodes I found on this great Swedish channel by Introkungarna. OM means "about". Aka OM-program. And there's also a series "Om OM", which is an info or trailer 5 minutes. The earliest clip I found is from 1973 (b&w, another one in color, no bibs), the most recent one from the mid or late 80s. So a long running series (maybe still running I found some modern clips), and probably many old episodes still missing. Research is difficult with this title. Channel UR Utbildningsradion. There's always a "-" between OM and the episode title without space. There were books and or magazines (OM Tidningen). I haven't found it yet on either IMDb nor worldcat.

Beeing a pre-school series, there are also some older kids. Maybe ladies and men as well.

Pic 1 from clip OM - Östra Station (1976) older girl with a belt, pic 2 from OM - Hur ska det gå? (1981) del 1 av 3 (bibs brand Lee in all 3 parts) also in white shiny Soccer shorts and shirtless in briefs in ep 2, pic 3 I mentioned before from OM - Jacobs tofflor (1978).

Unpictured: miniature teen girl (live-action) tan in Tänk OM (1985), girl in blue bibs in Informationsprogram om vårens OM-program 1979.

Previously rating 3-4, now at least 5-6. Still much more to check on this channel.

Hallå! Vadå?

 

Educational pre-school series, 5 ep 
Year: 1978
-Year in film: 1978 
-Country: Sweden 
-Who in bibs: boys ~8 ?
-Available on DVD: no ?       
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low    
-Rating:  5/10 ?     
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Uploader Introkungarna ("OM"). Novel by Karin van Dijk. Educational series from Utbildningsradion. I haven't found much info. Plot is about listening. Producer Ruth Anni Rabe (1934-1992), advisor Bengt Feldreich. 5x15 minutes. No entry on IMDb found.

Update: I have briefly checked all 5 ep. One boy, maybe the same at the end of ep 3, brief scene, walking and sitting on the shoulders of a man. Best is ep 4 as pictured. Maybe more scenes but with pullover and jackets.

Rating ~(4)-5, maybe rather 4. Much fewer scenes than assumed. But bibs are great. Simplified title: Halla! Vada? What means Hello! What?

OM - hur man bygger en kamera (series OM f/m)

Educational films/series, 20 minutes, 70s and 80s
Year: 1982
-Year in film: ~1982 
-Country: Sweden 
-Who in bibs: boy ~7 ?, others
-Available on DVD: no ?       
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium - *    
-Rating:  5/10 ?     
-Rating: *****
-Comment: A young blond boy (Jens Victor Palm) in long bibs. And snow coveralls.

During research for my ELT blog, I found a rare episode of the 1974 adventure series "Here We Come" (see my other blog but no bibs at least not in that episode). That uploader Introkungarna has some more vintage stuff from Swedish TV (channel UR Utbildningsradion). Different producers Berith Oxelbeck (this ep).

Clip is called  Hur man gör en kamera. Clip says OM-hur man bygger en kamera. OM is obviously a series, M maybe for magazine? He has several more episodes. Boy and girl or maybe 2 boys in ep OM - Hur man gör TV (1982) pic 2. Girl in orange bibs and man in blue in ep OM - Tripp, trapp, trä (1976). Maybe the best yet, pic 3. Later I found a kid, probably boy (Frans Berglund) sitting in blue and I think red in ep OM - Jacobs tofflor (1978).

He also has some more interesting 70s/80s stuff, but I haven't checked them all yet. Looks like a blonde girl at the end in Jakob Dunderskägg (1973).

Rating ~3-4 for this episode. Series/other episodes probably higher. I just have found this and needs more research. Prouduction company or original broadcaster or similar (of most episodes): TRU. Stands for Television och radio i utbildningen kommitten.

I found some more, even better episodes, previously rating 3-(4) for this episode and ~4 for the others shown, now at least rating 5-(6)

Fear (2025)

 

Prime thriller series, 3 ep
Year: 2025
-Year in film: 2020s ? 
-Country: UK
-Who in bibs: Fay ~6, Rebecca ~34  
-Available on DVD: yes       
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium- ??    
-Rating:  3/10 ?     
-Rating: ***
-Comment: At least a little girl (Evelyn Teixeira) in striped bibs and a lady (Anjli Mohindra *1990) in long bibs. Pics from the trailer. I haven't seen the full series.

Girl is too young, lady too old and has an open jacket. But there might be some good scenes(?).

Rating ~3 for now. 

 

Die WG (2009) season 22 (Die Jungs-WG)

 

There's a new season of Die Jungs-WG running on Kika called Pistengaudi im Pitztal. Season is still running. In ep 5 "Ski und Shopping" there's a teen boy in snow bibs and  teen boy Luke (half US American, the only boy of interest) in a costume with short green bibs. Also very young kids in ski pants, at least one are pants with suspenders, maybe some in coveralls or bibs.

Most of the 5 boys are quite old or looking older and most have foreign origins. The only season I like very much is season 3 of boys (now season 5) Ohne Eltern in den Schnee, Tyrol 2013.

Now called and combined boys and girls as "Die WG", I have season 7 Sommer. Sonne. Elternfrei. (boys rating 5) and re-uploaded that pic. 

I have 2 seasons of Die Mädchen-WG (teen girls) I think season 3 (season 6 of Die WG) and season 4 (season 8 of Die WG) rating up to 4, and die wohngemeinschaft 2018. Also related Das erste Mal ... (teen boy and girl) seasons USA and Asien (and Indonesien, Vietnam linked there) girl rating up to 7! 

For this for now rating ~2-3. Tuesdays on Kika 20h10. Also on the mediathek of Kika and ZDF and on YouTube. Currently 6 episodes, but there will be I think 2 more.
