Round the Twist was an Australian live-action kids show, which briefly aired in America during the late 90s. Most American live action kids shows are filmed on ugly cheap sets, performed by annoying teen actors, and accompanied by a canned laugh-track. Round the Twist, like many Australian shows of its kind, was filmed on location and outdoors, featured appealing and natural young actors, and had a wilder sense of humor.
In this episode ("Pink Bowtie," from season 2, episode 4), we're treated to three age transformation scenes. They're low-budget and goofy, but that's part of their charm--plus the show hired many actors to portray the characters at various ages.
The premise involves two thieves onboard a ferry who are fighting over money and an age transformation device. One of the thieves has turned himself into a teenager, but after being confronted by other teenagers he turns back into a man.
Keep watching, because right afterward the other thief arrives and they begin fighting over the device. They accidentally set it off and are regressed into little boys (17:07).
If that isn't enough, there's a final progression scene where the thieves age from boys to old men (at 19:11) and an age regression scene involving an old couple (at 17:42)
