Fred is the 12th episode of Alphablocks Series 2, as well as the 38th episode overall.

Synopsis[]

When a flying saucer crash-lands, F makes a new friend: Fred, who misses his mummy and wants to go home. Can her friends give F the boost she needs to fly Fred to the final frontier?

Story[]

F was seen flying, then sees E and T, who is in capital mode and look at the crash-landed flying saucer. F meets an alien. The alien says his name is Fred. F introduces him to E and T, who both turn back into lowercase mode. T then gets a cup of tea to Fred. F asks where Fred is from. Fred points to his home planet, which is far away from Alphaland. Fred wants to go home. F wants to fly him home, but he's too heavy. F has failed.

f-o-g, FOG!

With all that fog, F mistakes N as Fred, and N refuses to take Fred home. Then, Fred turns into N. T brings the vowels to help them.

Help Fred get back Home! (Fred is N)[]

F_N

  • FEN - Fred, F, T, and the vowels are in a fen.
  • FIN - F has a shark's fin on her head. They try to swim to Fred's home, but they can't reach.
  • FUN - F, U, and Fred bounce so high they can almost touch Fred's planet, but they don't make it.
  • FAN (star word) - F has a fan on her back. After counting down from 5 to 1, they blast off and fly to Fred's home. Fred is happy to meet his mum again.

Trivia[]

  • The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also used on the Number Aliens in UFO.
  • B, C, D, H, J, K, L, M, P, Q, R, S, V, W, X, Y, and Z are absent in this episode.
  • Everyone, including O, speaks properly, except for A who only says her sound in this episode.
    • In the game version, she only says her sound as her solo line, only when FAN is sounded out. After FEN is sounded out, both female vowels, A and I, say "A boggy marsh," like they're stuck as digraph AI.
  • The only English words Fred knows is "Fred", "Fun", "Fin", "Fan", and "Mummy (or Mommy)".
  • In the game version, T is the only moveable consonant. When you place T between F and N, they sound out the nonsense word FTN.
  • E and T being in capital mode refer to a movie from the '80s called "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" somewhere in the episode.
  • The Numberblocks episode Building Blocks has a similar plot to this episode. Interestingly, both episodes have the same writer.
  • When the word 'fin' is spelt, music plays which resembles one used in the film 'Jaws'.
