-Comment: At least one boy in bibs. An old man with a beard taking out a box of matches from a boy's front bib pocket. Unknown age. Unknown episode number. In total 201 episodes, 15 or 30 minutes each. No entry on IMDb.

Extremely rare, or better said unavailable and extremely weird series. Based on a 1983 radio series this TV series showing mainly stills and is a parody of aristocracy dime novels. The series is not lost and episodes can be bought from the broadcasters NDR (for a high price).

I found this by coincidence on a movie forum. There is just a brief desrciption and no pics and no clips at all. There's one short clip on the official broadcasting page but unfortunately without any bibs scenes.

Maybe I have even seen some episodes in the 90s but can't remember it. But somwehow I have an imagination of the scene. The young boy on the right. Rather light blue bibs. Half portait. Maybe 9 yo or younger ?

I think this is the first entry of something which I haven't seen at all. But why not adding this for the sake of completion? Maybe it will be available at some time on YouTube or elsewhere or reaired. There are also some novels. Not sure if there are bibs scenes described or even illustrations.
