Charlie and Lola is a series of books by Lauren Child, later adapted into a cartoon. The original book was published in 2000. The stories focus on Lola and her older brother Charlie as well as their friends. Lola is an energetic, imaginative and random little girl; Charlie is a patient and kind older brother who has his work cut out (but is always willing) to help Lola learn and grow.The TV show was seen on The BBC's CBeebies and on Playhouse Disney in the United States. The program was dropped from Playhouse Disney sometime before it became Disney Junior, but repeats were picked up for the 24/7 Disney Junior network. A number of DVD volumes were released. There was an album with music from the television show as well, though it was only released in the U.K. Neither the books nor the television show are currently in production, as far as new material goes. A complete series DVD boxset of the show has been released in the UK, cementing the fact that no further episodes will be produced.It is occasionally broadcast in Scotland in Gaelic as Charlie is Lola.As of 2017, the series has been made available freely to stream for those who have Amazon Prime / Amazon Video and was picked up by Universal Kids in December of 2017. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling | |
| Charlie and Lola / int_130436b9 | comment |
Annoying Younger Sibling: Lola fits this trope sometimes, but Charlie is often patient and understanding with her. She's probably one of the mildest examples of this ever, while Charlie does occasionally get irritated by her, oftentimes he seems to find her behaviour anywhere from amusing (hence him calling her "very funny") to endearing. | |

My Friends... and Zoidberg: In "This Is Actually My Party," Charlie says that all of his friends are invited to his birthday party, and Lola. This comes across as a bit odd since the two are generally pretty friendly. | |

Barbershop Episode: In "I Like My Hair Completely The Way It Is", Lola's hair has grown too long that it keeps falling in her face, so Charlie insists she get it cut. Lola is afraid to get her hair cut because she worries the finishing result would make her look like Charlie, and after she admits her fear, Charlie promises her hair will still be the same. She finally gets her hair cut and Charlie gives her hair bows so she has her own personal style. | |

"Getting Ready for Bed" Plot | |
| Charlie and Lola / int_2c850a3d | comment |
"Getting Ready for Bed" Plot: The plot of "I am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go to Bed" — Charlie is put in charge of putting Lola to bed. Lola keeps making excuses (like pretending there are whales in the bath, dogs have stolen her pyjamas, etc), so Charlie plays along with the excuses but still steers her towards going to bed (for instance, when she claims there are whales in the bath, he pretends to shoo them down the plughole). | |

After an extended musical sequence, she comments that there must be thousands and hundreds of germs. He suggests that she count them, so she does so. | |

Full-Body Disguise: In "But I Am an Alligator", Lola wears, for a majority of the episode, a large, dark green alligator costume that covers her entire body, with the exception of her arms and legs. This embarrasses Charlie, as she wears it in public, and the size of the costume makes it difficult for Lola to perform basic tasks such as tying her shoelaces. | |

Crying Wolf | |
| Charlie and Lola / int_78d0ebcf | comment |
Crying Wolf: In "Help! I Really Mean It!", Lola wrongly shouts, "Help!" three times — first was when she actually did want help retrieving Casper but made it sound more serious than it was, second was when she and Lotta were playing a game, and thirdly when they were quoting said game. Thus, when Casper gets stuck up a tree, Charlie and Marv don't believe the girls when they call for help. | |

In one book, Lola wants a dog, but gets a rabbit instead. Charlie pretends it's a dog and Lola either plays along or is fooled. This rabbit is never seen in any other book, nor in the show. | |

| Charlie and Lola / int_a7382a73 | comment |
Imagine Spot: At least Once per Episode has someone (usually Lola) briefly imagine something. The animation gets very creative. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
| Charlie and Lola / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: The majority of the episode titles are essentially statements from Lola, often in a humorously protracted fashion. Examples include "I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato", "We Do Promise Honestly We Can Look After Your Dog" and "I Do Not Ever, Never Want My Wobbly Tooth to Fall Out". Each is read out loud by Lola, and it is not unusual for her to continue the statement as the show proper starts. In some cases, what's said and shown on the program don't match up with what's in schedule listings. For example, "I've Got Nobody to Play With" is listed as "Playing On My Own." In other cases, the really long titles are simply shortened, sometimes to as little as one word. | |

Trademark Favorite Food | |
| Charlie and Lola / int_ad641426 | comment |
Trademark Favorite Food: Lola loves pink (strawberry) milk. Word Of God says that it's not actually strawberry milk, just coloured pink, perhaps because of not wanting kids to insist that their parents buy them strawberry milk (which is loaded with sugar). | |

Jump Scare: In-universe. In "BOO! Made You Jump!", Lola wants to tell a scary story to Charlie, Marv, and Lotta, with the intention of getting one of them to jump, but her scary storytelling loses its power at the climax. Marv's dog Sizzles does a much better job. | |

Free Prize at the Bottom: In "I Am Collecting a Collection," Charlie pours all the cereal out of a box and gets the second-to-last dinosaur he needs for his collection of plastic dinosaur figures. Lola getting the final one Charlie needs when it's her turn to open the cereal forms the episode's conflict. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| Charlie and Lola / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: When Lola wants to wear the same costume for Halloween two years in a row, she claims that an alligator costume is now a crocodile, which is much more spooky. Charlie, though, insists that she can't wear the same costume two years in a row. In "I Will Not Never Ever Eat a Tomato," Lola insists that she won't eat various foods - no wonder in her age, but Charlie makes up more fanciful names for him to get her to try them. In the end, Lola gets in on the game by eating the dreaded tomatoes...which she frames as "moonsquirters" you can spray juice from by taking a bite. | |

Picture Day: In "Say Cheese", Lola is to have her first school photographs taken and Charlie has to make sure she stays clean long enough for the photo, something Lola isn't very good at. Lola ends up getting dirty anyway and her photos turn out awful, so Charlie combines the photos together to make a collage. | |

Bilingual Animal: Discussed in the book "We Honestly Can Look After Your Dog", where the four-year-old girls Lola and Lotta claim that Sizzles (the titular dog) can speak English as well as some other talents, but he's never heard speaking English so they're probably just spinning yarns. | |
