A bit off-topic. This is an early 1990s German course (German as second laguage for kids) being aired Sundays on channel ARD alpha. I like it and watching it over and over again. There is an older teen girl Anna (on left), her younger brother Andreas (10 yo in early episodes, pictured, other episode, also in yellow pants in final episode) and his friends (boys and girls, including handsome Frank, best in ep Spiele, Essen, Trinken).
WDR editor is Lothar Humburg ("Moving to Marlborough") Author is Barbara Derkow-Disselbeck (I have several English posts with her).
In episode "Hose, Jacke, Rock und Hemd" there's the German version of "Frog Went a-Courting" it's Der Frosch zog Hemd und Hose an, aha!. Text by Frederik Vahle. Animated clip, similar like in Playtime. Performed also elsewhere by child choir Blankenlocher Pfinzspatzen (and maybe others). The series usually show German culture but this song isn't originally German.
