-Comment: One very tall teen boy in a dark sailor suit at the end of the movie. I think this is 15 yo uncredited Gareth Van Den Bogaerde (looking much older). Also one much younger boy in historical clothes (I think including a string tie and also a cap) but probably not in sailor suit. Many supporting actors (of course also women) in some scenes (set between 1870s and 1880s), but maybe nothing more of interest.

Currently on YouTube along some other classics. (I only have checked it at high speed).

A very short scene of this teen boy. Also entering the room showing front and back or rather side view. Collar is quite long. Pants are flared at legs. He is shortly touching his scarf but nothing more.

Famous novel by George Moore. There are also at least 2 other adaptions which I also have to check but they are more rare.

For sailor suit scenes rating 2-3 for now. I somehow expected much more.

-Comment: 3 boys in sailor suits and one girl in a sailor dress and some other kids in 19th century American clothes some wearing straw hats in the 2014 episode "Meilensteine der Telekommunikation" (s3e2). Also at least one other boy in ancient clothes in a different episode. And the main character teen boy Paul in tight jeans in the present.

First pic showing an (uncredited) boy as young Alexander Graham Bell. 2 brief scenes also showing side view. Then the kids at school (Bell is the teacher here). At least one girl in the middle and one dark haired boy not shown on the left. The blond boy on the right maybe wearing the same sailor suit as Bell. All collar flaps are very short. No dickeys.

Very few scenes with kids (like in most episodes). I don't remember all episodes. This had been aired today. More scenes of self-conscious and quite handsome Paul (Elias Kassner).

Currently the mediathek entry on zdftivi is linked to the previous episode. If there's a girl and later an Egyptian then it's still wrong. Don't know if that will be fixed. There are also some few other episodes available but probably not showing sailor suits (or Lederhosen) due to the time setting of each time travel episode but other ancient clothes.

Rating 3 for this epsiode.
