Little Lunch is a funny Australian TV show for kids. It's like a fake documentary (a mockumentary) and first showed on ABC ME in 2015. There are 26 episodes, each about 15 minutes long. The show is based on books by Danny Katz and drawings by Mitch Vane. Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope turned the books into the TV series.
The stories happen during 'little lunch' (morning recess) at a primary school. You'll follow six kids: Atticus, Debra Jo, Rory, Melanie, Tamara, and Battie, plus their teacher, Mrs. Gonsha. Two special episodes came out in 2016: "The Halloween Horror Story" and "The Nightmare Before Graduation". The show was filmed at St Kilda Primary School in Melbourne, Australia.
What is Little Lunch About?
The show takes place at an Australian primary school. It follows the funny adventures of six Grade 5 students. Every episode happens during 'little lunch' (which is morning recess). The children tell stories about things that happened during this time. They also talk about events outside of class. For example, they might discuss a school walk-a-thon. Or maybe two kids are competing for the monkey bars. Sometimes, they're just celebrating a birthday.
