Details of 1982-83 broadcasts of the ITV Schools series Stop, Look, Listen, covering topics for primary school pupils.

All 10 episodes in autumn 1982 were new programmes, including a couple of updates to previous episodes but mostly covering brand new topics. The programmes broadly covered jobs and preparations for Christmas.

With this set of 10 complete the series now had a full cycle of 56 different programmes, and was ready to move to twice-weekly transmissions from the following year to screen all of them. The new topics also meant that 1982 was the first year since the series began that Stop, Look, Listen deliberately did not launch with a programme about firefighters (the fire episode was also omitted in 1979, but this was due to industrial action rather than by design).

These episodes used the traffic light face opening titles introduced the previous year, and the High Life theme tune.

1982-83 was the 7th of 26 years of new broadcasts, and the 12th of 38 years overall, for Stop, Look, Listen.

10 of the 28 episodes broadcast this year were new, and the episodes first broadcast this year were repeated until 1990.

10. Big Store (1982)

A look at the run up to Christmas at Rackham's department store in Birmingham city centre. Outside the window displays are seen, and delivery lorries arrive with boxed goods which are taken to different departments.

Inside the store the workers assemble large displays based on different nursery rhymes. Christmas trees, nativity scenes and other decorations are lit up all over the store and there is seasonal produce in the food department. There are exciting new toys for children to look at, and an indoor train ride around the nursery rhyme scenes.
