Fred is the twelfth episode of the second series of Alphablocks. It is 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 is in lowercase and notices a crash-landed flying saucer. Curious, he walks over and meets an alien, who introduces himself as Fred.

F introduces Fred to E and T, who both return to lowercase. T brings a cup of tea for Fred. F then asks where Fred is from. Fred points up toward his home planet—it's far, far away from Alphaland.

Fred wants to go home. F wants to fly him there, but Fred is too heavy. F sighs and says he's failed.

, fog!

A thick fog rolls in. In the mist, F mistakes N for Fred. N is confused and refuses to take Fred home. But then—Fred transforms into N.

To solve the mystery and help Fred get home, T calls for the vowels.

  • 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[]

  • B, C, D, H, J, K, L, M, P, Q, R, S, V, W, X, Y, and Z are absent in this episode.
  • This is the first episode in Series 2 where the episode title isn't a word spelled within the episode.
  • The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also used on the Number Aliens in UFO.
  • 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" in unison, as if they were stuck as digraph AI.
  • The only English words Fred knows are "Fred", "up", "Fun", "Fin", "Fan", and "Mummy". It is unclear whether Fred joined other characters in the 5-1 countdown before flying home with F.
  • In the game version, T is the only moveable consonant. When the player places T between F and N, they sound out the nonsense word FTN.
  • F clearly kissed Fred when they first met. If she didn’t, it means the only kiss shown in the franchise was during K’s episode of the Word Magic spinoff.
  • E and T being in uppercase 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 the theme used in the film 'Jaws'.
