Sesamstraat (2), a.k.a. Dutch Sesame Street (c.1983)

Описание: A second wander for this channel down Sesamstraat, the localised version of Sesame Street broadcast in the Netherlands. Hopefully some of our Dutch-speaking friends will be able to help out the English-speakers among us with some pointers or subtitles or something, though confusingly the opening exchange seems to revolve around Tommie (I think) and Piet (maybe) not being able to understand the language someone's speaking. Happily, Pino - Big Bird's Dutch cousin - comes to the rescue. (Perhaps.)

[EDIT: Subtitles have been added to the "English: UK" track - many thanks indeed to Stuart for this translation!]

Elsewhere, some young lads are taught the joys of playground marbles, there's a pinball animation over a counting song, a story about a cat with a marble named Dikkie Dik, and a surprise appearance of Bert and Ernie. Unless I'm mistaken, this last one (and probably the animation too, come to think of it) was made in the US by the Jim Henson Company, and then sent around the world to be dubbed into numerous different languages, including the version we see here. A million kudos points to the first person in the comments who can find and link to the original sketch.

Many thanks to Lee for providing this recording.
