Plot (short): A 4 level secondary course
for teens. British English. Pic 2 from Level 2 unit 6 Part 1. I
haven't found separate DVDs. Grammar and communication videos, Mainly animated clips in Grammar. Get Culture videos from BBC (mainly grown-ups). Starring The Newman (Level 1) and Nichols family (Level 3). At least Adam (Level 4) is from Edinburgh, Scotland. Blond Tom, 12 yo from Wales (Level 2) is handsome, sometimes in tight dark blue jeans. Best in 1.4.
ActiveTeach software is also for interactive whiteboards. The teacher's "CD-ROM" also has video clips (but I think it's a DVD-ROM). There are at least 2 different teacher's media. ActiveTeach with CD/DVD (?) and the Teacher's Book with DVD-ROM pack, MyEnglishLab and Online Extra Homework (latter one obviously has them all, maybe except class audio CD and test book). For students there are different books which either has MyEnglishLab (student's book), Extra Online Homework (with PIN)(workbook), or student's ebook or just a student's book without extras.
There are also foreign editions like for Greece (York Press, 3 levels). That also has Grammar books and "Companion" (vocabulary /Greece dictionary).
Episodes: Unknown length. Samples found on official YouTube channel. Real-life videos not in all units. Most clips have 2 parts and around 1-2 minutes each.
