This page has been serial victim to repeat vandalism or unnecessary content adding, so here is a quick disclaimer:

Series 3 has the first twenty episodes far away from the last ten. Series 3a has 20 episodes (September-October 2018) while 3b has 10 (January-February 2019), as series-es are now determined by how far away they are, noting Series 4, 5, 6, and 7 have no DVDs to rely on. Please don't change it just because of the DVDs.

Series 3 is the third series of Numberblocks.

Trivia

  • Series 3 first Numberblocks series to...
    • ...have a delay between episodes, being 3 months between The Wrong Number and Eleven.[1]
    • ...be distributed by BBC Studios.[2]
    • ...officially have thirty episodes and not be split into two smaller seasons.
    • ...have more than 5 Numberblocks debut, this time being 6.
    • ...feature Eight's slight redesign. (featuring a brighter coloured mask and more consistent face size)
    • ...be released in two different DVDs.
    • ...have a higher budget, since the animation has had a noticeable upgrade.
    • ...have its episodes' airdates land on the month of September.
    • ...air in the years 2018 and 2019.
    • ...have episodes in Yellow Level Three, being the entirety of Series 3b.
  • The first fifteen episodes were released on a DVD called Number Fun, while the remaining fifteen episodes were released in another DVD named Fifteen and Friends.
    • However, Series 3a is considered to have the first 5 episodes of Fifteen and Friends included, while Series 3b is considered the remaining 10 episodes of Fifteen and Friends due to featuring Numberblocks 11-15.
  • Numberblock Zero would debut in this series, but only appears in her namesake debut episode until Series 4.
  • This series marks the long-awaited debut of Numberblocks bigger than Ten, specifically ones from 11-15.
  • Numberblocks Day started a week prior to this series' first release and has stayed as Numberblocks Day every year since.
  • Starting with Eleven's debut, the creation of new Numberblocks no longer involves [x + 1 = y], it is now [10 + x = y].
    • This is because [10 + x = y] is a more easier way to recognise 11-15.
    • Depending on your view, Eleven may be the only Numberblock to debut where it's [x + 1 = y] instead of [10 + x = y].
  • Thirteen and Fourteen appear the least out of the debuting Numberblocks in Series 3b, both only appearing in two episodes. Additionally, Eleven technically appears the second least, as she appears in The Wrong Number as an early cameo as well as in her and Twelve's debut episodes.
    • This is possibly because Series 3b (the last 10 episodes) focuses on multiplication and other advanced mathmatics. Eleven and Thirteen are primes, which may be the reason why they appear rarely other than their debut episodes.
    • Fourteen appearing rarely is likely due to him being introduced late, in the fourth to last episode.
  • The only debuting Numberblocks in Series 3b to make a vertical arrangement is Twelve, as well as being the only Numberblock through 11-15 to have their face on the top of their body in at least one arrangement.

Notes

  1. Interestingly enough, Alphablocks did the same thing beforehand as well with its own third series.
  2. The reason for this is because BBC Worldwide, which distributed Series 1 and 2, officially merged with BBC Studios on the 1st of April, 2018, around 5 months before Series 3 aired.
