Plot
Plot
T pours a cup of tea. He asks H for tea, but instead she sticks with T. TH sees N doing nothing and some other Alphablocks doing their activities. TH decides to make something for N.
/θ/-/ɪ/-/ŋ/, THING!
An anonymous thing appears. TH sings about the Thing that has a wheel and a spring, a thread you can pull and a bell you can ring, some buttons to press, three levers to pull, and a prop at the top with a switch underneath. It also has a balloon what makes it fly. Some Alphablocks want the anonymous thing, but TH says there is only one. Then D pushes a button on the thing, making it place E and M next to TH.
/ð/-/ɛ/-/m/, THEM!
Many other things appear. The Alphablocks ride them to the sky as the episode ends.

Song: The Thing
F, J, L, O, P, Q, R, U, V, W, X, Y and Z are absent in this episode.
A, B, E, K, S, CK and NG only say their sound in this episode.
The song's tune was used in Ten's Top Ten.
Coincidentally, this is the thirteenth episode of the third series. Thirteen and third both start with TH.
This episode teaches vague terms: Thing, This, That, and possibly uses redundancy ("A thing is a thing"), detracting from clarity and engagement.
