Charlie and Lola - Season 1

Charlie has to get Lola ready for bed but Lola insists that she is not tired, and is too busy drinking strawberry "pink" milk with tigers, brushing her teeth with a lion, playing with a whale in the bath, and dancing with some disco dogs.

Lola and her friend Lotta know everything there is to know about dogs. So they are really pleased when Marv lets them look after Sizzles in the park.

Charlie is trying to get Lola to hurry up or else they'll be late for school. But Lola finds it so hard to hurry when there is colouring, dancing clouds, playing hopscotch on musical pavements, and laughing with hysterical hedgehogs to distract her.

Lola has her heart set on playing the Sun in an upcoming school production, so she tries to get her teacher to fulfil her destiny, but then she is upset when she is cast as a leaf. Charlie tries to convince Lola that leaves are very important.

Charlie has to make lunch for Lola, but she's a very picky eater and refuses to eat carrots, peas, mashed potatoes, fish sticks and her least favourite food - tomatoes (although she has never tried these foods before). So Charlie tricks Lola into eating the foods she "hates" by changing their names.

Lola's favourite book is 'Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies', which she often borrows from the local library. But when someone else borrows her beloved book, Charlie tries to find another book that will win her interest.

Lola is ill in bed. Charlie has promised Marv that he'll play soccer with him, but Lola begs him to stay and cheer her up.

It's time for Charlie and Lola to get their hair cut, but something is bothering Lola and she doesn't want to tell Charlie what it is.

Lola insists on doing everything on her own, even some things she is not really good at doing. Charlie tries to teach her that there is nothing wrong with occasionally accepting a little help.

Charlie is good at making Lola jump. Lola is desperate to be able to make him jump back, but, as hard as she tries, just can't seem to do it. So the only way to make him jump is to host a sleepover with Lotta and Marv.

Charlie and Lola are planning a picnic with Marv and Lotta. But will the event be ruined when the weather turns?

Charlie tells Lola not to play with his home-made model rocket, but Lola just can't resist when she and Soren Lorenson have to use it to transport a sad elephant back home to the jungle. When the rocket breaks, Lola has trouble admitting that she did it.

It's Charlie's birthday, and Lola knows what his birthday surprise is. Will she be able to stop herself blurting it out and ruining it?

Charlie and Lola are going to visit their grandparents' house by the sea for the weekend. Lola loves going to Granny and Grandpa's but she is worried about remembering to pack everything. Then she is worried about missing her parents, and them missing her.

Lola has a loose tooth, but does not want it to fall out, until she learns about the tooth fairy, who will leave her money in exchange for her tooth.

It's picture day at school and Lola must keep clean for a whole school day for her first school picture. But keeping clean for a whole day is really, really hard.

Lola finds a spider in the sink when trying to brush her teeth, and she doesn't like spiders very much. Charlie tries to show her that some spiders don't hurt us and that they're our friends. Soon, Lola has grown attached to the little creepy crawly, now keeping him as a pet and naming him Sidney. After they have put the spider outside, the weather changes, and Lola worries on what might happen to her new little friend.

Lola wants to choose the best present in the world for Lotta's birthday. She chooses a doctor's kit, but doesn't think that Lotta will appreciate the kit as much as she would, and would rather like to keep it for herself.

Lola is going to stay at Lotta's for the night, and packs everything she needs for them to play Cinderella. Back home, Charlie and Marv set up their race car track. But Lola forgets her suitcase and Charlie and Marv can't find an important piece of the track, teaching both parties a lesson in improvisation and imagination.

Charlie and Marv are to appear in a musical assembly about outer space at school. Lola wants to join in and desperately wishes that she could play music too, but can't seem to master any instruments. Charlie comes up with some makeshift instruments that she might be able to manage. But on the day of the presentation, Marv is sick - who will take his place?

Lola is busy playing secretary, waitress, dentist and librarian. Way too busy to play with Lotta, or Charlie, or even Soren Lorenson. But Charlie's new card game, Mix-Up Flip-Flop, is awfully tempting...

Lola wishes she was taller. Charlie tries to show her that being small can have its benefits by switching places with her.

Charlie and Lola have fun playing with their new "Build Your Own City" playset that Granny and Grandpa have bought them, but Charlie wants to build airports and play aliens, whereas Lola wants draw and build a zoo. Will they manage to share?

Granny and Grandpa have bought Lola an alligator costume. Lola loves it and insists that she will never take it off. But with an upcoming school presentation about things she likes, Charlie is worried that his little sister will make a fool of herself.

Lola always wants to win at everything - even if it means cheating. So Charlie challenges her to a race around the park that she cannot possibly cheat at.

Snow is forecast and Lola can't wait for it to arrive. When it finally comes, Charlie, Lola, Marv, Lotta and Sizzles all have a wonderful time playing in it. But when the snow melts, Lola is quite upset, and Charlie must try and explain that it would lose its appeal if it snowed all the time.
