'''''Charlie and Lola''''' is a British [[
== Synopsis ==
Charlie has a little sister named Lola;
When these situations happen, Charlie usually ends up having to solve her problems through imaginative or creative methods, or by explaining to Lola where she went wrong. This is particularly demonstrated in the debut episode,
In many episodes, Lola's best friend Lotta, Lola's imaginary friend Soren Lorenson, and Charlie's best friend Marv become involved in some way or another. Although adults are mentioned through dialogue, none of them are ever shown or heard

==Characters==
===Primary===
* '''Charlie Sonner''' (voiced by Jethro Lundie-Brown in Series 1, Daniel Mayers in Series 2, and Oriel Agranoff in Series 3) is the imaginative and helpful 7-year-old brother of Lola. He has platinum blond hair like Lola. Charlie is often asked to look after Lola, and he sometimes has to think of creative ways to keep her busy. He often breaks the fourth wall by talking about Lola to the viewers.
* '''Lola Sonner''' (voiced by Maisie Cowell in Series 1, Clementine Cowell in Series 2, and Holly Callaway in Series 3) is an imaginative and quirky 4-year-old girl.<ref name="character-outlines">{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/10_october/10/lola_characters.shtml/| title=Character oulines |publisher= BBC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304194253/http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/10_october/10/lola_characters.shtml/|archive-date=2016-03-04}}</ref> Lola is the younger sister of Charlie and is best friends with Lotta. She is described by her brother Charlie as "small and very funny". She normally wears blue butterfly hairpins and has short blonde hair. She likes playing, is often a drama queen, and has an imaginary friend named Soren Lorenson.<ref name="charlie-and-lola-series-1">{{cite web|url=https://www.tigeraspect.co.uk/series/animation-childrens/charlie-and-lola-series-1/|title=Charlie and Lola Series 1|website=tigeraspect.co.uk|date=25 April 2013}}</ref>
* '''Marv Lowe''' (voiced by Ryan Harris) is Charlie's best friend. He has a younger brother named Morten and an older brother named Marty. Marv has a [[dachshund]] named Sizzles (wordplay on the type of dog, a "sausage dog") and a pet mouse named Squeak.
* '''Lotta''' (voiced by Morgan Gayle) is Lola's best friend, who is [[Black British people|African-British]] and has black curly hair. After meeting at school, they became friends quickly and spend a lot of time together. Lotta usually follows Lola's lead, and is in awe of Charlie, Marv, and Sizzles.
* '''Soren Lorenson''' (voiced by Stanley Street) is Lola's [[imaginary friend]], rendered as monochrome and translucent. When Lola and Soren Lorenson are playing, he is rather detailed (has the look of a real person only grey and translucent). When someone interrupts them (such as Charlie), he still has detail but becomes more unknown.
===Minor===
* '''Minnie Reader''' (voiced by Katie Hedges) is a girl in Lola and Lotta's class. She wears glasses and likes guinea pigs and ponies. Minnie is often seen with Evie.
* '''Morten Lowe''' (voiced by Macauley Keeper) is Marv's younger brother and a friend of Lola's. He is quite shy but once he starts to play, he's a lot of fun.
* '''Arnold Wolf''' (voiced by Eoin O'Sulivan) is Lola's neighbour. He is only featured in some episodes. In "I Am Extremely Absolutely Boiling", Arnold drops Lola's ice cream, causing Lola to become furious at him and not be friends with him, but he makes it up to her by letting her use his paddling pool.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=I Am Extremely Absolutely Boiling |series=Charlie and Lola |network=[[CBeebies]] |series-no=3 |number=4 |airdate=29 November 2007}}</ref>
* '''Evie''' (voiced by Lara Mayers) is a girl in Lola and Lotta's class. She has red hair which she wears in pigtails. She also wears a skirt, a long-sleeved shirt and striped tights.
* '''Mum and Dad''' are Charlie and Lola's parents. Like all other adult characters, they are never seen, but mentioned.
* '''Granny and Grandpa''' are Charlie and Lola's grandparents. Granny paints for a hobby, while it appears that Grandpa is good with horses. Like all other adult characters, they are referred to but are never seen.
== Animation style ==
