There's also a prequel series "The Adventures of A.R.K." with at least 13 episodes for each of it's 3 seasons (1997, IMDB says 1998 and only know 7 ep (of season 1)). But I don't know much more. There was also a French version.

There's a 7 hour long Spanish clip on YouTube (of the New Adventures). But I only have checked it very briefly. Pic 1 near the end.

Another series, but even rare on Discovery Kids was

Real Kids, Real Adventures , rating 4

Rating 4-5 for now.

Wee Sing: She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain

By coincidence I heard "She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain" in Wind At My Back season 3 (now completetly checked, update coming soon) and so checked YouTube for some more clips of that great song.

One boy in light blue shortalls (who also appeared in other clips, I already had) sitting in a car. Better than no bibs.

I also found some similar songs, mainly with girls, but some very young boys, too (coming soon).

Best of course are the Cedarmont Kids (f,m rating 8) and Kidsongs. Main entry, f,m rating 4

Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go and Do Something Less Boring Instead?

BBC Kids TV series. 42 ep
–Year: 1973-1995
–Year in film: 1970s, 1990
–Country: UK
–Who in bibs: girls ~ 9+16 ?, Pauline ~20 ?
–Available on DVD: no
–I own: no
–Bib occurrence: low ??
–Rating:  5/10 ?
–Rating: *****
–Comment: At least a young girl in dark blue bibs and a young lady, I think Pauline Quirke in blue bibs. Pics 1-2 from 1979, pic 3, an older teen girl in black bibs from an 80s episode, YouTube clip called "Stingy Brims on 'Why Don't You?'".

I found this during research, but don't know all episodes. I assume more bibs scenes (90s ?) maybe including boys as well?

Aka just "Why Don't You?".

Quite interesting. Rating 5 for now. Update, also a younger teen girl in faded bibs

Pauline Quirke also in Crown Court (sitting, rating 4)

–Year: 1992-1995
–Year in film: 1990s
–Country: Australia
–Who in bibs: girls ~5-8 ?, man, woman
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Bib occurence: medium ?
–Rating:  3/10 ?
–Rating: ***
–Comment: One girl in dark blue bibs (bib at low position), pictured in s1e8, also one younger, I think black girl in pink cotton bibs. Maybe some more kids, not sure about boys. Also a young man in light blue or turqouise bibs or rather sleeveless coveralls and a young lady in yellow bibs, pictured in s1e1. They appeared in several episodes in bibs.

Another Australian series. I don't know all episodes.

Rating 3 for now only due to the young age. Episodes are new on YouTube. Season 3 is still missing.

Update: Baby Huey’s Great Easter Adventure

I'm still revisiting my older entries and replacing tiny pics. Previously, I had 2 poor pics from a trailer of this movie. Now, I have checked the complete movie.

Best close-up scenes at a school or similar. One chubby, redhaired girl in long medium blue bibs, sitting, also front+rear views. Also at least one other girl in white or similar shortalls and another girl in light blue shortalls (or bibs).

At the end several kids in bibs and shortalls including at least one boy in long bibs, also kneeing down and standing up but very brief scene. Most others from a distance.

Main entry, rating 5

Love (2016)

Netflix romance series. Gillian Jacobs
–Year: 2016-
–Year in film: 2016
–Country: USA
–Who in bibs: woman Mickey ~33
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Bib occurence: low ?
–Rating:  4/10
–Rating: ****
–Comment: Gillian Jacobs in light brown Carhartt bibs in s1e5, many scenes. Bib at high position. Also hands in pockets. And lying on a bed in these bibs (barefoot, open bib, ...).

Another suggestion. Thanks very much!

Not that bad, but I prefer blue and baggy bibs (and males).

So rating 4-5.

Update 4: Wish You Well

As announced, another, final update of Wish You Well.

Pic 1 showing a very good walking scene, mainly of Diamond (right) at 50 minutes. Lou unfortunately here with a jacket and hat. Pic 2 walking rear view of all 3 at 49 minutes.

Pic 3 showing Lou in raw denim bibs lying in the woods at 30 minutes, also standing up. One other similar scene, I think at 10 minutes. As said, all scenes are short.

Yet unpictured, a sitting scene at the treehouse and a barn scene and the men. The best scenes, I already have, like the sitting scene and the school scenes. So no need for more pics.

Main entry, rating 7

Club der roten Bänder - s3e8

Drama series. German Red Band Society
–Year: 2015-2017
–Year in film: 2017
–Country: Germany
–Who in bibs: girl ~10 ?
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Bib occurence: very low
–Rating:  3/10 *
–Rating: ***
–Comment: Another Turkish girl (or at least character), a bit older than the last girl in yesterday's s3e8.

Other location, outside and inside. But rather few scenes and with a long shirt over them.

So again rating 3-4 only, although better than the younger girl. This episode is not that touching.

Also soon on my Western blog, rating ~4. Main entry, rating 3

Women
Saved! (2004) 8-
Der Sommer des Glücklichen Narren 7-
Galactica 1980 6
Die Meute der Erben 6-
The Waltons (Erin) Season 8, rating 5

I have the tag raw denim and a rating, but sometimes, like in series, there are more than one actor and the rating might be for another actor/actress or scene (usually for boys). Raw denim bibs are quite rare and scenes are often short.

Most scenes maybe in Krempoli, then Elizabeth of The Waltons (season 6). Good sitting scenes in Secondhand Lions (1 brief scene), Cedarmont Kids. Good rear views in Second Hand Lions, Wish You Well (girl), The Waltons (Elizabeth).

More movies at the tag raw denim. I hope to find even more movies.

The Tomorrow People (1973)

Sci-Fi series, 68 ep
–Year: 1973-1979
–Year in film: 1970s, Future
–Country: UK
–Who in bibs: Stephen ~15, Carol ~24 ?
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Bib occurrence: low+ ?
–Rating:  5/10 *
–Rating: *****
–Comment: I think at least Peter Vaughan-Clarke (left) and Sammie Winmill (right) in tight and shiny silver coveralls. Pic from s1e6. Also others in tight, Sci-Fi non-shiny coveralls. Also other interesting scenes like teen boys in kilts and shorts.

Also on my bedroom blog (rating 6).

A bit off-topic, but I already have a short list of coveralls and silver coveralls.

I don't know all episodes and don't like the 70s but obviously a great series. Directed by Roger Price (YCDTOTV, also see that entry).

For coveralls rating 5-6 for now.
