Showed at school, additional material is used there, but series also aired at German TV channels, 1985, 1988 and last time in 1993. First aired 1985-01-21, but I think produced since 1983.

Plot:
After their father died by a car accident, Andy (14), Martina Becker (16) and their mom Liz move from Cologne to Marlborough (England), where their mom was born.
Martina fits in quickly and finds a friend (Mark Fraser), but Andy doesn't like England.
At a school trip to Cherhill, Martina and Mark separates from class and she hurts her ankle.
Andy runs away and wants to travel back to Germany by ship, but lost his wallet.
Someone finds it, Andy's mother is called and picked him up.
He can be convinced to stay.
