Stop, Look, Listen: 1991-92
Details of 1991-92 broadcasts of the ITV Schools series Stop, Look, Listen, covering topics for primary school pupils.
The 9 new episodes this year contributed to more themed units: 4 episodes at the end of the autumn term on 'How Things Work', one at the start of the spring term on 'Transport' (the remainder of this unit used repeats of earlier episodes), and contributions to 'Earth and Atmosphere', 'Physical Activities' and 'Out and About' in the summer.
The episodes continued to used the traffic light face opening titles and the High Life theme tune.
1991-92 was the 16th of 26 years of new broadcasts, and the 21st 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 1993.

An episode of Stop, Look, Listen was shown on Channel 4 as a preview on Monday 2nd December 1991 at 9:30am, but I don't know which one. It may have been an initial broadcast of one of the new episodes due for transmission in the spring or summer terms. If you can help to identify it please get in touch by email.
Original plans
The advance preview of this year's episodes given in the previous year's (1990-91) teacher's notes was quite different than what was actually transmitted.
The entire 10 weeks of the autumn term were envisaged to cover 'People Who Help Us', including newly produced episodes on Firefighters, Police, Roadmenders, Telephone Engineer and Gas Ring. Of these only the Telephone episode was produced, and placed in the unit on 'How Things Work'.
In addition an episode on a Leisure Park had been planned for the 'Out and About' unit in summer 1992, but was never made.
