Update: Here We Come (1974) clip found

It appears on my TOP posts and I found a new upload of ep 4 on YouTube (uploader Introkungarna). Very interesting. Producer and director Eskil Garpebring. So obviously Swedish origin. I previously only found a 1974 broadcast in Estonia and a 1978 re-broadcast in Sweden. Looks like an adventure series, here with a message in a bottle.

I have to check it more closely and upate my main post. Previously, I haven't found mush info. He also has similar early clips.
