Daisy & Ollie is a British children's animated television series for preschoolers produced by CHF Entertainment and Hoopla Studio for Cartoonito [1] and Channel 5's Milkshake! block.

In each episode, the characters have a day at Daisy's house and during each of their life situations, Daisy (Sarah Hadland) and Ollie (Claire Morgan) ask Daisy’s Daddy (Jason Manford) a question (said question is also the title of each episode).

In some episodes, there are special guest appearances from other famous TV stars like Paddy McGuinness, Kirsty McKay, Paul Grunert, and Romesh Ranganathan, along with Take That member and performer Gary Barlow, all appearing as cartoon caricatures of themselves.
