Plot (short):  A secondary French course for grades 9-13? or maybe 7-13. I think vids as digital contents only. Videos and audios are available on a DVD+CD pack (MP3) and as USB stick for PC and Mac. Latter one at least for the new edition.

A DVD has at least ~12-18 videos each but most videos are clips from famous movies/TV series.

Update 2: Lighthouse / Access 2 (2022/2023)

I found some more book previews and clips. As usual, they first publish book #1 for 5th grade and later the other grades. July/November 2023. DVD 2 later. Noah is obviously much more shown than Joe. Noah has longer hair in book/DVD 2 (6th grade) and Joe has shorter hair and looking older (one year later, pictured on right next to Gloria and Daisy). Both looking like different actors. Lily (see other post) with her short hair looking almost like a boy. Maybe Joe is mainly or only shown in Access 2? They are often shown in their school uniforms.

The movie company is obviously Grasshopper Films Ltd. (set in Brighton, Claire Spencer) as credited in the books. (Not to be confused with Grasshopper Film, or German based Grasshopper Films). Pic taken from official book sample Lighthouse 2, Unit 5, courtesy of Cornelsen/Grasshopper Films (Fair Use).

There is also a new, short clip (showing younger Joe) on the official YouTube channel.

Main entries (first showing younger Joe, 1st update showing Noah)

Update: Young in Australia

 

Another update of a Swedish SVT series. I found some episodes on YouTube. Pic above from ep 1 (clip title Young Australia - The Dead Centre (SVT 1986). The year was also unsure, now 1986 confirmed.

I have one more pic in the main entry from ep 2 (Life in Sidney) showing 3 kids sitting. There are some more at school, mainly older teens. I think, I haven't found the other 3 episodes.

Aka Young Australia,  Ung i Australien. Again directed by Eskil Garpebring.
