Update: Got it!

 

Sorry, I saw too late, that I already had this. New pic from level 1. (Student's books, probably cap from a clip). Boy Sam also wore grey cargo pants and light green shirt in unit 4. Plot here is about playing Basketball inside, maybe at school. Girl is called Zoe.

2010 course by Oxford University. 

Main post with 2 other pics including another boy

    Junior English Timesaver (JET) is a subseries and I found only this containing a DVD (or DVD-ROM with videos). There are 12 short video diaries from real London kids. Some b&w caps are included in the sample (2 girls in school uniform).

    The one pictured is also included in a set of 5 called Drama in the Classroom (also published as single one). Should be released in 2010. But the series is much older. At least since 1998.

    One other with VHS/DVD is Real Video Timesavers: Teen Life - UK! (see below).

    There are also DVD Readers and Timesavers Interactive Resource Books (some with CD-ROMs) from Scholastic.
