Plot (short):  A six-level primary course for kids. Including videos called "21 Channel" with 2 kids as hosts handsome Mark and Chloe (these kids in Level 3 and 4 only). Pic from Level 3 Unit 1. These are in the studio only (earlier levels also have younger kids with few interviews outside). The boy (missing one tooth) wore tan cotton pants, and dark blue and faded blue jeans (also sitting, best in Level 3 unit 1). And a gym suit (Level 3 unit 3) and a helmet (Level 4 unit 8). 

Also other, very young kids shown in short documentaries. I think there are more digital contents (at least audio and songs), maybe videos as well (but probably less of interest). The other levels have other host kids (not that handsome).

There are 2 official samples from Macmillan Polska on YouTube (and other samples of New High Five! on Macmillan Spain). I considered buying a DVD, but there are only digital contents (app and/or codes in books). Luckily I found a playlist with Level 3 on an Asian school on YouTube (and that also has all clips of Level 4 after many clips of showing exercises teacher-pupil.)

There is also High Five! (~2014) and New High Five! (latter one showing same kids).

At least (also) used in Poland, Spain and Asia.

Episodes: unknown total length, most clips are very short ~3-4 minutes each
