Details of 1975-76 broadcasts of the ITV Schools series Stop, Look, Listen, covering topics for primary school pupils.

All 28 episodes this year were new, and a mix of completely new topics and re-edited, updated versions of the series 1 episodes. The same 28 episodes were repeated unchanged in 1976-77 and 1977-78, except that in the last year the Seaside episode was shifted to the last of the year.


1975-76 was the 2nd of 26 years of new broadcasts, and the 5th of 38 years overall, for Stop, Look, Listen. 28 of the 84 episodes broadcast this year were new, and the episodes first broadcast this year were repeated until 1985.


All episodes used the playground opening titles with Cock of the Roost as the theme tune.

They were narrated by Chris Tarrant, the researcher Patricia Newman, advisor Ronald Guliford, film editor Kevin Lester, produced and directed by Dilys Howell and Caryl Doncaster..

Routinely in the 1970s and 80s schools programmes were previewed during the holidays for parents and teachers, and where a new episode of Stop, Look, Listen was first shown as a preview this is covered in the episode guide here. An exception is the 1975-76 series. An episode of Stop, Look, Listen was previewed on Monday 29th December 1975 at 10am on ITV, almost certainly one of the new episodes planned for transmission in the spring or summer terms, but I have not been able to find out which one - if you can help please get in touch by email.

21. Airport (1976)

People arrive at an airport. Their luggage is checked in and then loaded into the plane. The passengers are called to board the flight and it takes off.

Some children go for a flight in a small aircraft, and note the wing, the door, the propellor and the tail. They look at things on the ground which seem small from above, including cows, a canal, factories and flats.

25. Farmer (1976)

  • This episode was billed under the title "Farm" when it was first shown in 1976, and re-titled "Farmer" in 1978 when it was moved to the autumn term as part of a run of programmes about professions and services. I believe it was the same episode though.

26. Safari Park (1976)

A man comes out of his house to go to work, carrying a rifle, and we are invited to guess what his job is. He drives his leopard-print Land Rover to West Midlands Safari ParkViolet-marker.png, where he plays with young lions and giraffes.

Coach parties (and a double-decker bus) drive round the park and see rhinoceros, elephants, ostriches, zebras, camels and wildebeest. The baboons climb on a car and lions, tigers and bears have their meals before the visitors leave.

28. Combine Harvester (1976)

The work of a combine harvester cutting a field of barley. The driver wears a mask because of the dust, and operates the machinery with levers in the cab. When the grain and straw has all been collected the straw in baled in the barn, and some children play house with it, while the grain is ground and fed to the pigs.

At the end of the programme there is a quiz about the things we have seen.
