1 I Can Do Anything That's Everything All On My Own
05-11-08
Season-only
Today Lola wants to do everything that's anything all on her own. In the park, Charlie and his friend Marv persuade her that a see saw won't 'see' or 'saw' with only one person. When the boys get on the other end up goes Lola, high in the sky, where she sees things she could only dream of. And, what's more, she saves Marv and Charlie from the ever-so evil pirates. All on her own.
2 There Is Only One Sun and That Is Me!
05-11-11
Season-only
It's the school play and Lola is determined to be the sun. She knows the part will be hers because yellow is her favourite colour. She was born to play the sun! Imagine her disappointment when she finds out that she's a leaf. And not only that, she's a boring brown autumn leaf. But, with Charlie's help, Lola discovers how leaves are far from boring. And when the big day arrives, Lola is the best leaf in the whole wide forest.
3 I've Won - No I've Won - No I've Won
05-11-13
Season-only
Lola simply has to win all of the time when she's competing with Charlie. She can run faster than a cheetah, she can bounce higher than a kangaroo, and she can stand on one leg for longer than a flamingo. She beats Charlie at snakes and ladders by climbing up a slippery snake. Could this be cheating? But when Charlie wins the race round the park, a tired little Lola points out that you don't have to win all the time... or maybe you do.
4 It Wasn't Me!
05-11-18
Season-only
Charlie wins first prize at school for his fantastic homemade rocket which he made from 10 yoghurt pots and some extra wide tin foil. As he puts his rocket safely away on the top shelf he explains to Lola that the rocket really isn't a toy and she must absolutely promise not to touch it or play with it. Then Lola and her imaginary friend, Soren Lorenson, find that they have to transport an elephant back to the jungle, Soren persuades Lola that the rocket is a really good idea.
5 Say "Cheese"
05-11-23
Season-only
To please Mum, Lola is determined to stay clean and tidy for her very first school photograph. And Lola's not very good at staying clean and tidy. What makes it even harder to achieve is that there is a water-tray, school lunch and painting class before the school photograph happens. But, as ever, Charlie and Lola find a way of producing a really absolutely, very special photo of Lola after all.
6 My Little Town
05-11-30
Season-only
Sharing the My Little Town play set that Granny and Grandpa gave them proves a bit of a challenge for Charlie and Lola. Lola wants big flowers and trees and butterflies and a zoo house, while Charlie wants an airport with a control tower and a huge runway. Before long, Charlie gets quite carried away, hogs the whole game and is intent on saving his little world. Lola is understandably very upset. Can she forgive Charlie and help him out with the Martian invasion?

About this show

Follow the adventures of seven-year-old Charlie and his feisty little sister Lola in a children's animation based on Lauren Child's award-winning picture books. Charlie is loving, patient, and very bright. His little sister Lola is small, mischievous and very funny. Together they deal with the numerous dilemmas that every small child encounters. These little stumbling blocks spiral into a succession of imaginative games and role-play to coax his spirited little sister Lola round to seeing things in a more reasoned way.

Charlie and Lola is extremely popular and well liked by kids. Entertaining, bright, colourful and to some degree educational. However, whether it's the fault of BBC or Google these Play editions are way too expensive. There is the convenience of having the episodes available anywhere online and being able to throw it to the big screen through Chromecast etc. However, one can buy a box set of all 80 episodes from Amazon or the BBC shop for a little over £15. The price on Google play would amount to nearly £100 [£94.90 to be precise]. Given one does not technically 'own' the online edition and it can't be passed on to your kids on one's passing, this is even more outlandish. A change in the way of thinking has to be established on pricing and digital ownership and transferability . Five stars for the products itself, but only one for the reasons explained

I love charlie and Lola but it is just to much money i mean it is for children and it wouldn't mind if it was a film but it is a kids show. And i may be 9 but apparently i am the only one with common sense around here and i am not very happy.
