Trivia
- Series 2 and 3 retaught most of the topics Series 1 taught.
- This season is considered an oddity compared to the rest of the Alphablocks seasons due to the episodes being 3 minutes long instead of 5 in later seasons, meaning that before Series 2 aired, Series 1 episodes had to air in pairs to make them total to 6 minutes. Nowadays, Series 1 episode reruns air individually, but with longer breaks between them and whatever show is airing next to make up for the episodes being shorter.
- This is the only Learningblocks series to do that.
- As of now, only 18 of the 26 episodes of this season are available to watch in BBC iPlayer.
- The other 8 episodes that are missing are Bee, Key, Cha Cha Cha, Alphalympics, UFO, Quiet, Map and Zzzzz. The episodes also aren't streaming in Alphablocks World or seen in official episode lists. It is unknown why these episodes aren't present. A likely reason could be that the show wants to align with the Phonics Phase and not teach skills not in the curriculum. That doesn't explain why "Map" isn't listed, though.
- The only way to watch these remaining episodes is to watch them on CBeebies in the UK if they are currently airing, or find them on the Alphablocks YouTube Channel and watch them there.
