Plot (short): There are Video DVDs (green and yellow cover) and Interactive Whiteboard DVD-ROMs (Interaktive Tafelbilder, green cover) as supplement for the books, also Audio CDs, CD-ROMs and other media. Pictured is a scene from Lighthouse 1 (1st year= 5th grade). Adventures of 3 kids from Harbour Road (Plymouth), others than on the cover, Sarah (Claire Paddison), Paul (Drew Bales) and Anna (Harmony Rump). School, sports (table tennis, shopping), at home. Also geography of Plymouth "People and Places (without these kids).
There is also a Lighthouse DVD (without English G, also for 5th grade, white cover) with other kids. Other/older kids also appear in DVDs for later grades. In mid 2022 there will be new DVDs (Lighthouse/Access 2022) published (other kids, set in Brighton, Making-of on YouTube).
The DVD is 53 minutes, has English and German subtitles. I own the whiteboard version which should contain all clips. 8 clips, together ~25 minutes, thereof People and Places 2x3 minutes. Unique scenes with kids ~7 minutes only. Pics, songs (grown-ups) games and book contents (compressed) for Windows only (but are not much of interest), work without installing and without whiteboard. The video quality is rather poor (640x360, AVI but WMV3 codec and 6373 kbit/s) and plays in a window. There is also an editor but I haven't tested that.
By coincidence I found caps of other clips in the Headlight book and later also bought the Headlight DVD. Probably all 3 DVDs (Lighthouse, Headlight and Highlight) are the same. Lighthouse 3 has a combined one. The DVDs of the Bavarian course Go Ahead (2017) are obviously also (almost) the same.
Update: The image quality is much better (DVD quality). 6 units for each the Harbour Road Kids and People and Places. 2 more boys on the DVD. Each unit has 2-3 chapters.
Clips of units 2, 4-6 are completely missing on the whiteboard disc (both Harbour Road Kids and People and Places). That has 6 units as well but has pictures and songs instead.
English G Lighthouse 2 has same actors and some few more.
Unit 2 is at home of one of the girls. There's also a brother Tom, slightly older, Justin Biber haircut. In People and Places there's another younger boy Joe showing his room.
Unit 4 is at an aquarium and later outside sitting like at the intro. P&P: at school
Unit 5 is at a cafe and dancing at home. P&P: Jimmy ~ 10 yo at a recording studio. Plymouth Music Zone.
Unit 6 is camping all 3 with brother Tom. P&P ferry trip.
On both:
Unit 1: Introduction, street, school. P&P: School (Eggbuckland Community College)
Unit 3: Shopping birthday presents. P&P: Plymouth
Episodes: ~53 minutes total (per DVD/grade)
