Look at me, my name is E! Bet you haven't met, a better letter yet!
 

— E

Bee is the second episode of the first series of Alphablocks.

Plot[]

In this episode, E sings about himself, a busy E. He is the busiest letter in the alphabet and in the musical episode, popular and friendly "E-themed" shows just how hard working he can be. Doubling up to make words like "bee" and "tree" is shown as easy; but when he has to save the day by making a word with five E's, he's seen as exhausted instead.

Lyrics[]

Look at me

My name is E

Bet you haven't met

A better letter yet

I'm the busiest letter in the alphabet

E, that's me!

He can make a b-e-d, BED!

He can make it r-e-d, RED!

Look at me

No, look at me

He's another E

He's just the same as me

We can live together in harmony

Double E, you and me!

Let's make a b-ee, BEE!

Everybody, one, two, t-r-ee, TREE!

One, two, tree?!

Sorry.

One, two, th-r-ee, THREE!

Another E

A brother E

He's the quiet one in the family

He doesn't say much, he does it silently

E, another three!

And with three E's, we can make you s-n-ee-z-e, SNEEZE!

(The sneeze from A occurs; in this context it goes like this: "Ah, ah, ah, achoo!")

Bee!

Eek!

Eep!

Er?!

We need more E's.

More E's?! More E's?!

Yes. Quickly.

EE!

b-ee-k-ee-p-er, BEEKEEPER!

Did you ever see

So many E's?

You really never met

A better letter yet

We're the busiest letter in the alphabet

E, that's me! (faints afterward)

Trivia[]

  • Song: Busy E
    • In terms of series order, Busy E is the first song in the series (if you exclude background music).
      • But in chronological order, Up is the first.
    • An instrumental version can be heard in Zap.
  • In terms of series order, this episode marks:
    • The first episode when an Alphablock duplicates itself.
    • The first appearances of diagraphs TH, EE, and ER.
    • The first time R-controlled vowel sounds are used in the series (digraph ER).
    • The first time word magic is used.
    • The first lines of the entire show are non-other than the song sang by E, a.k.a. "Busy E". The actual first lines would be found in the next episode.
  • N, S, T, Z, and digraphs TH and ER only say their sound.
  • A, B, D, H, K, P, and R have spoken lines if you ignore their sound.
  • M, S and Y have no lines in this episode.
  • C, F, G, I, J, L, O, Q, U, V, W, and X are absent in this episode.
  • “Beekeeper” is the first compound word spelled in the series.
  • The tree that appears in this episode does not resemble that in real life. As shown in the episode, it does not have any "branches" whatsoever. It is also implied that the branches are "inside" the tree's "leaves".
  • This is the first episode with a vowel digraph. It shows two, EE and ER. Although, this is the second episode with a digraph (QU), period, after the previous episode.

Goofs[]

  • When the digraph “ER” is said in the word beekeeper, it sounds neither like E and R; it sounds like some sort of mix of A and C. There’s also a error that some diagraphs have only one voice when saying they sound, this same goes to some Series 1 episodes that also used this error.
  • For unknown reasons, this episode is not on BBC iPlayer.
