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.
