Working Lunch is a television programme shown on BBC Two which covers business news, personal finance and consumer news. The programme was first shown in September 1994. It has become somewhat famous for its quirky style especially compared to other BBC business shows such as World Business Report.
The title sequence involves a goldfish trying to escape from a shark onboard a sunken ship. The in programme graphics also reflect this style with the background of the studio resembling water. Other graphics on the show follow a theme that is best described as "bad clipart" which adds to the quirky edge.
The programme is broadcast live from studio 7 at BBC Television Centre in west London.
