Name is the sixth episode of the fourth series of Alphablocks. It is the 84th episode overall.
A has the hiccups, but she can't remember her name.
Who is she? She can't say. It seems to have slipped her mind. And maybe with help from her friends here today, She'll leave all her troubles behind.
I, E, and Y can help.
First, A sticks with Y and together they sing A-a-a-a-a-a A-a-a-a-a A-a-a-a-a-a A-a-a-a-a. When A's with Y, they make a bright new...

Total words: 10
B, F, H, J, O, Q, U, V, X, and Z are absent in this episode.
This episode is the start of a pentalogy.
There are also other long "a" sound sounds, such as tetragraph EIGH, digraph AE (as in Sundae) and digraph EI, but each Long Vowel Song can only have a maximum of 3 long vowel sounds.
10 consonants only say their sound, but 2 of them don't talk.
C and K do not talk solo because CAKE and SNAKE are not sounded out.
In the final verse, A refers another TV show, The A Team.
This is the last main series episode where A speaks properly.
A sounded like she had amnesia, referring to the Numberblocks episodes One and On Your Head.
This episode marks the return of Magic E, as he had not been seen since Magic.
This is Y's sixth time as a vowel, after Why, Key, Fox, Surprise, and Jaybird.
Also the third time he's a vowel in a digraph (AY), after Key (EY) and Jaybird (AY, OY in the game).
Also, after Jaybird, the second time he's in digraph AY.
