Takes (Radio Bremen series)

During research for Wonderworms (I still haven't found pics or more info), I found the title "Takes".  This includes the 4 series listed below, all from Radio Bremen. Maybe it's the main title for the series (Medienverbund) or the title of a school book or book series (Unterrichtsmaterial/ class resources). I haven't found any offers for sale. Books were published by Schroedel.

All Aboard (~1979) Book 1979

The Stone-Age Kid (1980) Book 1980

The London Outing (1983) Book 1982

Wonderworms (1984) Book 1983, teacher's book 47 pages 7,40 DM, student book 15 pages, 4 DM

There are also additional booklets in series RPZ-Informationen ~49 pages each, and SDZ-Informationen (latter one is Sprachdidaktisches Zentrum, Pädagogische Hochschule, Freiburg im Breisgau) ~91 pages.

Info 22: New label/tag/category "not TV" for DVDs

I have added the label "not TV" for mainly the modern DVD courses (new school book supplement DVDs like from Westermann, Cambridge University etc). So almost all that have not been aired. I kept the other labels, especially "series". Maybe I will make company lists later. Just broadcasts can be found via the chronological list.

I haven't included 16mm S8 and similar series (these can be found by the early year labels, or a blog search). Some series/VHS/DVDs are unsure if they have been aired (especially BBC productions).

I haven't named the new label "DVD" as some of the broadcasts also had been released as DVD later. Broadcasts include broadcasts from all countries.

Note that you can combine 2 or more labels for a search in the browser tab, eg WDR+2012.

Teens in the USA: Missouri: Cullen - Getting into Gear

Another part (episode 1) of this 6 part 2012 series. Missouri/San Diego. I found this pic and info some time ago on planet-schule. Surprisingly it's still there. Last aired Feb 2021. Movie was available up to July 2022. Sorry, I've seen that too late. But probably it will be rebroadcasted later.

15 yo teen boy Cullen lives in a rural town near Hermann, Missouri. He worked for a driving license. He wants to ride with his friends in his own car to play bowling. At school he learned farming.

The Isle of Wight - Portrait of the Queen's Isle

I found "The isle of Wight - Portrait of the Queen" on Planet Schule, without any info. I previously found Inselsommer - Isle of Wight (1983) in offline sources (broadcaster WDR ?).  

Today, I found this full title in a PDF media list, that this is a 2005 German documentary (30 minutes, VHS). Geography, Queen Victoria and traces of several English kings.

I haven't found many series about Queen(s)/the Royals in vintage (German) series. Probably in some general series about London/UK.

An 1998 documentary called Royal Windsor and Eton (55 minutes, sightseeing), no post here, and Scottish Sketchbook (ep 2 From Braermar to Ayr, Highland Games with Queen).

Elizabeth (1998) and movies about Shakespeare which are about Elizabeth I.
