Stop, Look, Listen: The Lunch Bunch
The Lunch Bunch is a unit of the Channel 4 Schools series Stop, Look, Listen from the 1990s & 2000s, covering health education for primary school pupils.
A group of puppets living in a child's lunchbox introduce programmes about food, including songs and recipes.
This unit was the first in the Channel 4 Schools era of Stop, Look, Listen aimed at a younger audience of 4-6 year-olds, made up of shorter 10 minute episodes and less focussed on specifics of the National Curriculum.
