-Comment: Christina Karnicnik (pictured) in orange full length bibs. Pic is from episode 11 "Im Reich des Geisterzaren" which I saw today by coincidence. I don't know all episodes yet, but she doesn't wear bibs in ep 12 "Das Phantom der Schule". I think I have seen there another teen girl in light blue bibs in the background (short scene, not sure if really bibs).
I also saw a publicity pic with Poppie in light pink bibs (or shortalls) but not sure in what episode and if really in any. Also a girl with blond pigtails.

There must be 14 episodes ("Spuk am Sternenhof" is missing at IMDb) and a 1994 film "Die Knickerbocker-Bande: Das sprechende Grab" (with other actors). Famous childrens book series by Thomas Brezina. Typical detective series, 2 boys, 2 girls but with Austrian kids. Could be better (see Blyton). I think few bib scenes. Rating 4 for now.

I only found one DVD with 4 episodes and some VHS tapes available. I thought that I've seen different DVDs in a shop about 2 EUR each, but maybe this was a different series. I always wondered about the name of the gang. They don't wear knickerbockers. Update: Full series is now available on DVD.

Update: Also blue bibs. New pic 1 from Das sprechende Grab. But obviously few good scenes. Also soon on my Pigtails blog.

Update 2: The 1994 movie seems very interesting. Rating ~6 for now. post exists
