Update 3: Five times Britain

 

Another new upload. This time from episode 4 The British Isles - In Scotland. I think it's new and I can't remember having seen this in the 2nd half of the other uploads. Maybe there are 2 parts in each episode. Farm/ranch setting.

Update 2: Five times Britain

 

There are 2 new uploads with 3 episodes. Or is this a subseries? Five Times Britain - The British Isles. One about London (pic 1, unknown episode, maybe ep 2, there's no episode with that title), pic 2 is about Wales, teen girls paddling (probably ep 3). Unpictured: Scotland (probably ep 4) shown in the second half of both uploads. Latter one not showing kids or teens. Touristic and industry (oil rig).

Update: Five times Britain


I now found a clip of that series, again by Rosa Mannen on YouTube. Aired on SVT on April 11th 1988 (but series is older, at least 1979). Teen boys and girls in school and gym/ballet including green shorts. Most are girls. Probably ep 1 A Stage School.
