Numberblocks Series 8 Head Writer

So my BIG NEWS is that NUMBERBLOCKS Series 8 has started showing on CBeebies, and I’m very proud to be Head Writer on this run taking over the reins from Andrew Barnett-Jones and Ciaran Murtagh.

Many, many thanks to the fantastically talented teams at Blue Zoo and Alphablocks Ltd for letting me come and play in this wonderful number sandpit.

The first six episodes are up on iPlayer. Four from our great writing team:

The Great Bug Race by Nicole Davis, which explores the concept of perimeter.

The Big Picture by Andrew Emerson, introducing the idea of area.

Capacity For Magic by Max Allen, which looks at… capacity!

How Many Smoothies? by Miranda Larson, all about how it doesn’t matter which way you add two numbers the answer is always the same.

And there are two episodes written by me, the film noir The Third Button, Detective One solves a mystery by telling time and reading a clock face. And Space Repair is about measuring area through multiplication all while repairing a space satellite.

And many more to come…
