What happens

Mathis var en norsk TV-serie for barn som ble sendt på NRKs Barne-TV i 1975 og 1977. Serien var et slags dokudrama som skildret livet til den fem år gamle Mathis. Den var basert på autentiske opptak hjemme hos familien Fürst og vakte betydelig oppmerksomhet første gang den ble vist. Den første sesong av serien viste barnet i dets egen verden, mens den andre viste barnet mer ut mot samfunnet og andre barn. Kalle Fürst var seriens produsent (og far til Mathis). Kommentatorstemmen var ved Kyrre Haugen Bakke. Den ble vist på svensk TV i 1978. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
