Partner Video Sequences is a unit of the ITV Schools series The German Programme from the 1980s, covering German language for Secondary pupils.

A set of programmes for beginners studying German, mostly in the early years of secondary school, following a German family in their everyday life, with some explanations in English.

The unit follows the Brandt family living in CelleViolet-marker.png as they live at home, the children go to school, and then they all go on holiday to Goldegg in AustriaViolet-marker.png.

These were the first programmes produced for Thames TV's planned partnership with the publisher Longman on a German language course to be called Partner. Three further units of Partner programmes followed later in the 1980s.
