Winners (1985)


 Drama teen series, 14 ep in 2 seasons
Year: 1985, 1990
Year in film: 1980s
Country: AUS, UK
Who in bibs: girl ~15?  
Available on DVD: VHS only?
I own: no
Bib occurrence: very low?
Rating:  4/10 ? 
Rating: ****
Comment: At least this young teen girl in white or light pink appearing bibs (or shortalls) in 1985 ep Just Friends (s1e2). Very brief scene at 10. Not sure about the actress. It's not main character Sherie Graham (as she's blonde). 

Also a nice kissing scene in a photo booth. Roller skating plot. Some clips on aso.gov of this and other episodes (8 episodes of season 1, season 2 is there called "More Winners", Episode "Second Childhood" obviously missing there). 

I later found the full episode on Youtube.

Interesting series and nice 80s setting and plot. Nicole Kidman starring in s1e1. Other episodes have different plots and actors and are set in 1910 and 1932, 1947, another one in the future.

Rating ~4-5 for the girl (I first considered 5 but for the very brief scene again rating 4), series probably higher. I don't know all episodes. Also used at schools.

Found during hard research. Some episodes and other AUS series I later found on YouTube channel Twisted Lunchbox. I will check some of those. Luckily I already know most of the series. 

Update: The 1st I checked, a girl sitting in bibs in Worst Best Friends (2002) in s1e5 coming soon. And at least a boy in Noah & Saskia (2004) in s1e6.
