(baby cries)
- What's that terrible
wah wah noise?
- Oh dear, sounds like
a Tiddlypeep crying.
- Well I hope it isn't.
I get really upset
when Tiddlypeeps cry
I-I-I'll just go and check.
(jaunty music)
- Hooble doop Iver,
we've made Hoobybuns!
Iver?
- Hmm?
Oh, sorry Tula, I was
just about to think up
the most Hoobacious question
for today's Hoob News
when, when I walk
past a Tiddlypeep
who was making that
terrible crying noise
they sometimes make.
- Yes!
We heard it
- Yeah I don't like
hearing Tiddlypeeps cry.
- And I don't like
seeing them cry either.
That poor little Tiddlypeep's
face was all wet.
- Yes, Tiddlypeeps make lots
of wet tears when they cry.
- Yeah, don't you always wish
you could stop them crying?
- Oh, I certainly do Groove.
- Oh, but how can you
stop a Tiddlypeep crying?
- [Computer] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba!
- Oh, there's Hubba Hubba!
- How can you stop
a Tiddlypeep crying
is a fantabbyhooby question
for Hoob News, Iver!
Hoobs don't cry, but I'm
sure that Hoobs everywhere
would like to know how to
stop a Tiddlypeep crying.
- Well I know I would.
Will you email
Roma, Hubba Hubba,
to ask her to see what she
can find out about crying?
- Abosohoobylutly!
I'll have a look on
Hoobnet and see whether
I can come up with
anything to start you off.
Now let me see, stopping crying,
stop, stopping, ooh, ohh Hoobs,
this could take some time!
- Ah.
- (sighs) Then where
should we begin?
- I've no idea.
- And what do Hoobs do
when they need an idea?
- [All] Have a Hooby think!
Hmm!

I had an idea!
- Ahaha.
- If we can find out
why Tiddlypeeps cry,
then maybe we can work
out how to stop them!
- Tula, that's a
Hoobacious idea!
So let me see if I can
find anything on Hoobnet
about why this crying happens.
Ah, let's see, ah here's
a little something.
(synth whirs)
(upbeat music)
Oh what do we have here?
These are athletes, I wonder
why we're seeing this.
Oh, now he's crying,
so she's crying too.
She must be sad.
- Aw.
- I wonder if it's because
when these athletes
compete against each
other, sometimes they lose,
and if they lose they cry!
I've also heard that Peeps cry
when they're happy too,
so they probably cry
when they win as well as
when they lose. (chuckles)
(sighs) Oh dear, there
wasn't much there was there?
Just a couple of
athletes crying.
- Yes, I never knew that
big Peeps cried too.
- Me neither, those
athletes were crying
because they'd lost a race.
- Yeah, athletes
like to win races
so when they lose it
must make them very sad.
- And then they cry.
- And as I told
you before Hoobs,
Peeps sometimes cry
when they're happy.
- Well I never.
Peeps obviously have lots
of reasons for crying
that we never knew about.
- But wait a minute Iver!
We're not trying find
out why Peeps cry,
we're trying to find
out why Tiddlypeeps cry!
- Uh yeah, but then we want
to find out how to stop them.
- Hmm, there must be
somewhere we can look
for some more information.
- But where?
(dramatic music)
♪ Where, where, where ♪
♪ Where ♪
- [Computer] Roma,
Roma, Roma, Roma!
- Here's where, it's Roma!
Maybe she's found out
something useful about crying.
- Hooble-doop Hoobs!
[Hoobs] Hooble-doop, Roma!
- Now Hubba Hubba
asked me to find out
all about crying,
so I've come here
to a hospital.
(babies crying)
- But who's making
all that noise, Roma?
- Well, Groove, in that
room across the corridor
are Hoobloads of cute
little squiddly Tiddlypeeps
that have just been born.
- [Hoobs] Aw!
- Some of the squiddly
Tiddlypeeps are sleeping
but most of them are crying,
that's the noise you can hear.
- Oh!
- And do you know why
they're crying, Hoobs?
- No.
- No.
- Well, would you believe it,
newborn squiddly Tiddlypeeps
cry to communicate.
- To communicate?
- They cry when they're
hungry, or thirsty, or tired.
(Groove chuckles)
- And keep on crying until
somebody understands them
and gives them what they want.
- So squiddly
Tiddlypeeps can't say
"Excuse me, could you
pass me a Hoobybun?"
- Ha!
No Groove, and they can't say,
"Excuse me, I need my
nappy changed," either!
- Ah haha.
- Phwoar, and judging
by all this crying
and this whiffy smell, some
of these squiddly Tiddlypeeps
are telling me they need
their nappies changed now.
This is Roma Hoob,
in a hospital,
off to change some
nappies, phew!
Hooble-toodle-doo!
- [Hoobs] Hooble-toodle-doo!
- Well, who would of
thought that so much noise
could come out of a tiny
little squiddly Tiddlypeep?
- And who would of thought
that all that crying
is just a way of telling the
big Peeps what they want?
Huh, amazing.
- Yeah, they cry because
they can't talk yet.
- Imagine if we couldn't talk,
imagine if we had
to tell each other
what we wanted just by crying.
(gentle jaunty music)
- Wah, wah,
wah, wah!
- Grooves pretending to be
a squiddly Tiddlypeep, Iver!
- Yes, let's see if we
can guess what he wants!
- Yes!

why are you crying?
- He certainly wants something!

- Oh.
(Groove wails)
Do you think he's tired?
- Hmm, let's put
him in his Hoobypod
and he can take a nap.
Hoobypod time!
- Wah?
(springs boing)
- There you go little Hoob.
- Wah, wah.
(Groove wails)

- Wah!
- Here you are, Groove.
(Groove chuckles)
(Groove munches)
- Hey that worked!
I didn't say a single word,
but you guessed what I wanted!
- Did you like crying like a
squiddly Tiddlypeep, Groove?
- No, it was hard.
- Well, at least
we now know one way
of stopping squiddly Tiddlypeeps
from crying, feed them!
- Yes, but we still
don't know how to stop
Tiddlypeeps from crying, do we?
- Oh no, you're
right, oh Hoobybother!
- Tiddlypeeps can talk,
they don't need to
cry if they're hungry.
- Hmm, so does
that mean we still
don't know why Tiddlypeeps cry?
- Hmm, we must be able
to find that out somehow.

- There are enough
plasters here to stop
a lot of Tiddlypeeps
from crying.
- Ooh, let's go
and give a plaster
to any Tiddlypeep we

to make them feel better
and stop them crying!
- Hold on a hoobytick Iver,
I've just been surfing
Hoobnet and found
a story a Tiddlypeep sent.
It shows another reason
why Tiddlypeeps cry.
I think you might
like to see it.
- [Iver] Huh?
(jaunty music)
- [Narrator] Ling had a sweet
new kitten called Snuggles.
She loved him more than anything
else in the whole world.
Snuggles loved to go
exploring in the garden.
He always came back
in the evening,
just in time for his supper,
but one night Snuggles
didn't come home.
Ling and her mother
looked everywhere for him.
They looked in the
cupboard under the stairs.
they looked behind the
sofa, and under Ling's bed.
They even looked
in the garden shed,
but Snuggles was
nowhere to be found.
Great big tears
filled Ling's eyes.
They rolled down her cheeks
and she sobbed,
"I want my kitten!
"I want Snuggles!"
- Aw!
- 'Course you do!
- [Narrator] Ling's mother
put her arm around her
and said that
Snuggles had probably
gone for a nice long walk.
(Snuggles meows)
Ling was too sad
to eat her supper,
and when it was bed time
Ling couldn't get to sleep.
She cried and cried.
(Ling wails)
The next morning Ling
rushed downstairs
and threw open the back door.
"Snuggles!" she called,
but Snuggles wasn't there.
Ling cried and cried, and cried.
She filled his bowl
with his favorite
fishy cat food and
crunchy biscuits.
She put the bowl on the ground
then went to get
ready for school.
Ling was still crying.
Would she ever stop?
Just as she and her mother
were about to leave,
they heard a meow.
- Ah!
- Ah!
- [Narrator] Ling turned
round and there was Snuggles!
"Snuggles!" she gasped.
"You've come home!"
And Ling's tears stopped flowing
as she picked Snuggles up
and gave him a big cuddle!
- [Hoobs] Aw.
- Aw, poor Ling.
Aw, she did an awful lot
of crying, didn't she?
- But she wasn't hurt, was she?
- Well if you think about it,
she was sort of hurt,
but on the inside.
- But, but she stopped crying
when the kitten came back.
- Yes, you're right Iver,
yes, she stopped crying
because she was happy again.
- [Computer] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba!
- Hooble-doop Hoobs,
how's it going?
- Well, we found out
the Tiddlypeeps cry
if they're hurt on the inside
as well as if they're
hurt on the outside.
- So what we need
to know now is,
will a plaster help
to stop Tiddlypeeps
crying when they're sad?
- Well, there's one way to
be certain of that Iver,
go and find some
more Tiddlypeeps!
- [Iver] Oh!
- Good idea Hubba
Hubba, I'll go again
- Oh yes, and this
time I'll drive, Tula.
Oh, and you'll need to
take lots of plasters
just in case
somebody needs them.

that Iver, Groove?
- Yes, yes.
- Yes.
- How do you cheer someone up?

person about why they're sad.
Talking usually makes
them feel better.
- Hmm, talking,
that is a good idea.
- Or, or, you could give
them a great big cuddle!
- (gasps) A cuddle!
Oh, oh, that sounds really good!
I know, let's see if it works.
I'll pretend to cry,

on stopping Tiddlypeeps crying?

(jaunty music)
- Hooble-doop, whoop to
all you Hoobs out there.
Welcome to Hoob News, the news
show for Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking a question.
- How can you stop
a Tiddlypeep crying?
First we found that Peeps cry
for all sorts of reasons.
They cry when they're sad
and they sometimes cry
when they're happy.
- But we wanted to find
out why Tiddlypeeps cry.
- [Groove] We heard from Roma
that squiddly Tiddlypeeps
cry when they want something.
It's their way of communicating.
- That's because
they can't talk.
- But Tiddlypeeps can talk,
so we still needed
to know why they cry
so we could work out
how to stop them.
- So Tula went to
see the Tiddlypeeps
and they told her that they
cry when they hurt themselves.
Do you know what make
them feel better?
- [Hoobs] Plasters!
- [Iver] Then we had a
story about a little girl
who cried because she
was hurt on the inside.
- [Groove] Yes, she was sad.
- And we weren't quite sure
how to stop that kind of crying,
so we went to see
some more Tiddlypeeps,
and that's when they
told us about cuddles.
- Yes, a cuddle helps
to cheer up a Tiddlypeep
and make them feel happy.
- So they stop crying.
- So it's thanks once again to
Iver, Tula, Groove, and Roma
for giving Hoobs
everywhere a little peep
into the world of
Peeps, and remember,
wherever you are, don't
cry, keep your fur dry,
have a nice day, and
Hooble-toodle-doo!
Hooble-toodle-doo!
- Right!
(Groove wails)
Now can you guess why
I'm going "wah wah"?
- What does Groove want, Iver?
- A little rest?
Another cuddle?
- A hoobybun!
- Aw, come on guys, another
cuddle and a Hoobybun!
