What happens

Big Cook, Little Cook is a British children's television series created by Adrian Hedley for BBC television. The programme is set in the kitchen of a café, with two chef characters: Big Cook Ben and Little Cook Small. CBeebies aired repeats on the channel until February 2012. Big Cook and Little Cook are both grown adults, but Small is only a few inches tall and flies around on a wooden spoon. Ben and the original Small were played by Steve Marsh and Dan Wright, respectively. An official magazine was launched in August 2005. The show made a comeback with a revival series in 2022, now presented by Ibinabo Jack as Big Cook Jen and Courtney Bowman as Little Cook Small. The original series is available to watch on BritBox, Prime Video and on DVD. Cake Entertainment holds worldwide distribution rights to the revival, and it is available to watch on Apple TV.
