Oh, I love trees!

CHAINSAW BUZZES

But if we keep cutting down all thetrees to make more and more paper,

we won't have any trees left.

Or woods, or forests, or anything.

Oh.

So, you see, it's really importantto recycle old paper.

Mrs Finch showed us a film abouthow there are these places

where the old paper gets squidged upagain, with water and things.

And then they press it all flat,let it dry,

and make all sortsof new types of paper.

Like what, Charlie?

Writing paper, gift paper,toilet paper, egg boxes,

colouring-in paper, wrapping paper.

That is clever.

Mum bought me this special comic.It's called Look After Your Planet.

And there's lots about recyclingin it.

Ooh, can I have a look?

Ooh, a competition!

-Is there?

-Yes.

You can win a tree all of your ownto plant.

What do we have to do?What do we have to do?

We have to collect a hundredof each thing.

A hundred tin cans,a hundred plastic things,

and a hundred thingsmade out of paper.

That's a lot of things, Charlie.

-Look, your very own tree counter.

-Oh!

Every time you collect something torecycle, stick a leaf onto a branch.

When your tree counteris completely full up,

you can get your very own real treeto plant.

I would love to plant a tree.

-Well, you'd better start recycling.

-Yes, Charlie.

This box is for all the plasticthings, and this one is for paper,

and this one is for tin cans.

And look, I have already recycledtwo plastic bottle tops,

a baked bean tin and a paper.

I'm not sure we can collecta hundred of each thing

in just two weeks, Lola,all on our own.

Of course we can, Charlie.Have you finished? Good!

-What are you doing?

-Look,I can recycle these toilet rolls.

No, Lola, the idea is to use itslowly and save the paper first,

so that we don't have to cut downlots of trees.

-Then you recycle them.

-Oh. OK, Charlie.

HE SIGHS

Lola, I don't thinkyou've quite understood.

Oh yes I have, Charlie.

Ooh!

There!

Lola, I'm sure Mum and Dadwill recycle their newspaper,

but only after they have read it.

Well, they'd better hurry up,

because we need more leaveson our tree counter, quickly.

-I know, why don't we ask Marv,Marty and Morton for help?

-Hmm!

My brother Marty's away,but he wouldn't help anyway,

because he never throwsanything away.

He never throws anything.

-That can be recycled, Morton.

-Oh!

Maybe we need to asksome even more people.

We have to save the trees,

and stop us being coveredin a big, large pile of rubbish,

and our planet being squashed.

If we fill this tree with leaves,

we will win our very own real treefor the school.

Ooh, I want to do it! Pass it on.

Television series[edit]

The books have been adapted by Tiger Aspect into a cartoon series, using a collage style of animation which accurately captures the style of the original books. Directed by Kitty Taylor and Claudia Lloyd. 2D cel animation, paper cutout, fabric design, real textures, photomontage, and archive footage are all employed and subsequently animated in a software application called CelAction.^[4] The cartoons are also notable for their use of children's voices, rather than adult voice actors, a technique pioneered by the Peanuts television specials.

The first series of 26 episodes (11 minutes each) was first broadcast on 7 November 2005.^[5] The second series of 26 episodes (again, 11 minutes each) started broadcasting on CBeebies on 2 October 2006 (with the morning broadcast also being shown on BBC Two) a third series followed. In the television series, Charlie is seven and Lola is four, and goes to school (her teacher is called Mrs. Hansen). In episodes of both the first and second series, Charlie celebrates his birthday (in 'It's a Secret..' and 'This Is Actually My Party'), although this doesn't seem to affect his age in other episodes. The third series, a final 26-episode run, was broadcast in the UK and the US in the 2007-2008 television season. With two special episodes broadcast in 2006 and 2007, a total of 80 episodes were produced.

Theatre[edit]

Charlie and Lola's Best Bestest Play was first performed at Polka Theatre on 26 April 2008 and has subsequently been performed at the venue again in 2010 and 2012. It will be staged for the first time at Glow, the events and exhibition space at Bluewater in Kent, by Watershed Productions over the Christmas period of 2013.^[6]

Charlie and Lola's Best Bestest Play is based on the characters created by Lauren Child and adapted by Jonathan Lloyd, Artistic Director of Polka Theatre.

The Charlie and Lola Album[edit]

Charlie and Lola's Favourite and Best Music Record was released on 19 March 2007, aimed at parents as well as children. The music is largely a development of existing interstitial and theme music taken from series 1 and 2. There are elements of easy listening, lounge, big bandjazz, reggae, bluegrass, eastern European, sci-fi, Latin, classical and film music. There are 17 tracks plus one hidden track, with the programme's theme tune opening and closing the album.

Each track includes spoken word extracts from the series. In many cases, these are manipulated to fit with the musical accompaniment.

'The Bestest in the Barn' was released as a single on 12 March 2007. It features Lola and Lotta teaching various animals on their farm how to sing, dance and play music. This is the only track on the album which does not appear in any episode. Lola and Lotta do however appear as farmers in 'I Do Not Ever Never Want My Wobbly Tooth To Fall Out'. They also have a tendency to imagine that animals are capable of developing impressive human skills, as seen in 'We Do Promise Honestly We Can Look After Your Dog' and 'I Will Not Ever Never Forget You Nibbles'. 'The Bestest in the Barn' now features on a playlist of CBeebies programme music played throughout CBeebies Land at the Alton Towers Resort.

The album is a collaboration between various composers and musicians who write and perform for the TV series. Much of the music is programmed but many tracks feature performances by musicians from London-based bands – Menlo Park, Polar Bear and Acoustic Ladyland.

Four of the tracks have been animated by Tiger Aspect Productions: 'The Bestest in the Barn', 'Sizzles', 'Batcat' and 'It's Snowing'. 'The Bestest in the Barn' video is encoded as an mpeg on the album CD, and all four videos are included as DVD extras on the series 2 DVD collection.
