Details of 1989-90 broadcasts of the ITV Schools series Stop, Look, Listen, covering topics for primary school pupils.

There were 9 new episodes this year spread across all three terms, including remakes of the long-standing Ambulance and Hospital topics, now made on video instead of film.

The episodes used the traffic light face opening titles and the High Life theme tune.

This year included the final new episodes to be narrated by Chris Tarrant and the first with Matthew Kelly. I believe that Pets was the first Stop, Look, Listen episode in 20 years not to be narrated by Chris Tarrant, but that Tarrant did still narrate some later episodes including Wildfowl. If you have any more details please get in touch by email.

1989-90 was the 14th of 26 years of new broadcasts, and the 19th of 38 years overall, for Stop, Look, Listen.

9 of the 28 episodes broadcast this year were new, and the episodes first broadcast this year were repeated until 1992.
