Tightrope is the sixteenth episode of the third series of Alphablocks. It is the 68th episode overall.
R swings on a rope and leaves off, and left’s it behind. G and H see the rope. I sees it also and jumps the rope. G wants to go next, but I takes that and all three stick together. They say I's name, which confuses I. I thinks only she can say her name. T comes by and then splits in two.
t-igh-t, TIGHT!
The rope becomes a tightrope. N and E come and wonder what they're doing up there. The first T falls down and N and E grab him.
n-e-t, NET!
They bounce on a net below them. The second T then falls.
t-e-n-t, TENT!
The setting is now a circus tent. I, G, and H want to get down.
h-igh, HIGH!
The rope comes high above L, S, N, R, T, and M, who have come to rescue them.
