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 think the best way to get more children to watch it is to provide it to be free.!Also it mite be a good idea to write a text about some of the most popular ones.
