- Hooble doop, Tiddleypeeps.

I'm Hubba Hubba.

Talking to you from Hoobland.

And I'm about to send four

of my favorite Hoobs down

to Earth to find out all about

you for my great Hoobepedia.

Here they come.

(ominious piano music)

- Oh that's hoobatious!

- It's hoobygroovy.

- It needs.

It needs--

- It needs another rock.

That's what it needs Tula.

I'll go get one.

- Make it a big one Groove.

- [Groove] Okay.

Whoops!

(Groove trips)

- Groove, Groove?

Are you all right?

- [Groove] Yeah, I'm fine.

- Didn't sound too fine to me.

- Just slipped up in

some mud that's all.

(Groove laughs)

There!

One hoobygroovy rock for our

hoobygroovy rock display.

- Groove, you're covered in mud!

- Oh yeah!

(Groove laughs)

I know.

Hey how about a hoobledigger

for finishing the rock display?

Hooble, hooble.

- Stop!

- Stop!

- Stop?

Why?

♪ Why, why, why, why, why, why ♪

♪ Why ♪

♪ Why why why why ♪

- Because if we give you

a hobbledigger, Groove

then we'll be muddy too.

- Ah, come on.

What's a little bit of

mud between friends?

- Let's clean you up Groove.

Then you can have

a hoobledigger.

- Oh, all right.

(upbeat music)

- Do be careful Groove!

You're getting mud everywhere!

- Yeah I'm sorry.

- We've got to clean him up

before he gets mud all

over the Hoobmobile.

- Before we do Hoob news.

- Hoob news, yes--

Hoob news?

We don't even have

a question yet!

(upbeat guitar)

- How are we ever going

to get Groove clean?

♪ Hubba Hubba ♪

(lasers powering up)

- Well there's a question.

- How are we ever going

to get Groove clean?

Ha!

That is a fantabyhooby

question for Hoob news.

And one that every Hoob will

want to know the answer to.

- Yeah especially me.

(Groove laughs)

I want a hoobledigger.

(Hubba Hubba laughs)

- And I want all the

information you can find

on getting clean for

my great Hoobepedia.

I'll email Roma now and

I'll tell her the question.

- Thanks Hubba Hubba.

Any idea where we should start?

- Hmmm, let me see.

Aha!

There's a story here.

And it looks as if--

Yes it's all about

keeping clean.

- [Iver] Oh.

(upbeat guitar music)

- [Woman] There once was

a little stripey apron.

He was worn by a cook.

Every day the cook

would make soups

and stews and pies and puddings.

But the little stripey

apron wasn't very happy.

- This cook is such a

clean and careful cook,

I never get splattered.

Oh, I do so want

to get splattered.

That's what an apron's for.

- [Woman] Then one day,

the cook got an order

for a big chocolate cake!

- Oh!

- Hoorah!

- [Woman] Shouted the

little stripey apron.

- Chocolate cake is very messy.

I'm bound to get

splattered today!

- [Woman] The cook

mixed up the cake mix.

But the apron didn't

get splattered.

The cook poured the

cake mix into a tin.

But the apron didn't

get splattered.

- Oh,

not a single little splatter.

- [Woman] Moaned the apron.

Then the cook carried

the cake to the oven.

But she slipped up

on the kitchen mat.

- [Cook] Ah!

- Hooray!

- [Woman] Shouted the apron.

- The cake has

splattered all over me.

That's the biggest

splatter ever!

- [Woman] The apron

was very happy.

But soon he was even happier.

The cook had to make

another chocolate cake.

And this time she had to hurry.

As she stirred the cake mix,

the apron got splattered.

As she poured it into the tin,

the apron got splattered.

Soon the apron didn't

even look stripey anymore.

He just looked chocolatey.

But underneath him the

cook was lovely and clean.

When the cook realized

what a good job

the apron could do,

she wasn't quite so careful.

So from that day on,

whenever she made

chocolate cake,

the apron always got a

really good splatter.

(Iver laughs)

- Oh, an apron is hoobatious!

Perfect for keeping

a Hoob clean.

- I wonder who got to

eat that chocolate cake.

It looked hoobalicious.

- There.

One apron.

Just like in the story.

- Hoobygroovy!

Let's try that Tula, come on.

- Oh yes!

- Here take it.

Your neck.

(upbeat guitar music)

(Iver laughs)

- Oh!

There we go!

Oh, yes.

- So do I get a

hoobledigger now?

- Okay, here we go.

Hooble, hooble,

- Hooble, hooble

Digger digger digger digger

- Digger digger digger digger!

Digger!

(Tula and Iver laugh)

- Oh, great hoobledigger Tula!

Right, your go Iver.

- Oh, wait a minute.

Tula is still clean.

- Hmmm, the apron worked.

- But Groove is still muddy.

- But--

Oh, does that mean you won't

give me a hoobledigger?

- The apron is very good

at keeping Tula clean

but it doesn't actually clean

you if you're already dirty.

- So the apron isn't the answer.

Well, at least I got

one hoobledigger.

♪ Hubba Hubba ♪

- Oh it's the Hubba.

Maybe he's found

something for us.

- Hooble doop Hoobs!

Oh dear, I see Groove's

still covered in mud.

- Oh, that doesn't

matter Hubba Hubba.

I've had the hoobledigger.

- It does matter.

Because we need to

get you clean in order

to answer the question.

- Oh yes, there is that.

- Don't forget, Hoobs everywhere

will want to know the answer.

I've been busy searching Hoobnet

and I found some pictures

of peeps cleaning things.

Why don't you take a look?

(lasers powering up)

Oh, look Hoobs!

A long feathery dusting stick

cleaning those pictures.

And there is some

peeps cleaning a door.

There's somebody

doing some wiping.

Oh, look!

There's the long

feathery stick again.

And that peep's

doing some polishing.

And there's the long feathery

stick dusting a table.

And he's cleaning

in the kitchen.

And those two ladies are

doing some polishing.

And there's a peep doing

some wiping by the sink.

(lasers powering up)

- Hoobygalooby.

Hey, how about that long

feathery thing on the stick?

- Yes, it's a lot like

our Hooby engine duster.

I cleaned the Motorettes

with it just the other day.

Now where did I put it?

Hmmm.

- Oh, careful!

- Hey!

- Wait!

That is just like the

cloth the peeps were using.

Maybe this would get you clean.

Stand still.

Come on, round you go.

- Okay.

- There.

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

- Didn't work did it?

- No.

It just spread the

mud all over your fur.

You look even dirtier now.

- Do I?

Hoobygroovy!

- Aha!

I found the Hooby engine duster!

Right Groove, prepare

to be cleaned!

(Tula laughs)

- Go on, go for it Tula!

(Groove laughs)

- You're tickling me!

(Groove laughs)

(Iver clears his throat)

- Here we go.

(Groove laughs)

(Iver clears his throat)

- Tula?

- Yes Iver?

(Iver laughs)

- Hoobygalooby the feathers.

They've stuck to the mud.

- Oh no!

Now you're even dirtier!

- Yeah.

- Oh, this isn't going

awfully well is it?

♪ Hubba Hubba ♪

- Maybe Hubba Hubba

will have an idea.

- Hooble doop Hoobs!

Ah, oh Groove,

now that really is

an interesting look.

- Yeah the feathers

are a nice touch.

Don't you think?

- No they're not.

We still don't know how to

get Groove clean Hubba Hubba.

- Well why don't you go

and ask some tiddlypeeps?

I've heard they

like getting dirty,

so perhaps they know

how to get clean.

- Oh!

Good thinking Hubba Hubba!

I'll go!

Yuck!

- Yeah.

And I'll drive!

Let's get those

Motorettes singing!

(Tula laughs)

(Groove laughs)

- Seatbelt.

- Hooble doo!

- Woo woo woo!

- Woo woo woo!

(Iver laughs)

Oh, I'm so pleased I found you.

You see, Groove fell

in a mud puddle.

And now we can't get him clean.

What do tiddlypeeps

use to get clean?

- Soap!

- This is a bar of soap.

- Oh!

- Oh!

- A bar of soap?

How does it work?

- You need some water.

- Ah.

- Ah.

- [Girl] Then you rub the

soap all over your hands.

- [Iver] Groove, Tula look!

It's going all bubbly!

- Yeah it is!

- Bubbly, yes bubbly!

Yeah.

- [Girl] And then you rinse

the soap off with

some more water.

- And then they're all clean.

Look!

- They are hoobatiously clean.

- Yes.

- But the problem is,

Hoobs don't like water.

Do you think soap will

work without water?

- Oh, I'm not sure.

We always use water.

You could take a bar of soap

to try though, if you like.

- Oh, yes please.

(Iver laughs)

Thank you.

I'm going to give

Groove a good clean

with this bar of soap right now.

Hooble toodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

(Iver laughs)

(upbeat music)

- Do you know,

I think a few more feathers

would look quite good.

- Groove, you're suppose to

be getting clean not feathery.

- I like being feathery.

- I've got the soap!

We'll soon have you clean.

- Oh, go on then.

Clean away.

- Oh, yes of course.

I'm going to rub

it all over you.

Here we are.

- Oh!

- Now I have to do--

- Ah!

- And down the arm.

- Ah!

I don't see any bubbles.

- Hmmm?

Oh no.

- Yeah, it's not bubbly at all.

In fact it's

just sticky.

- Oh.

- Well the soap won't

work without water.

- There's no way this

Hoob's gonna get wet.

But I do like being muddy.

Feathery and sticky.

- Oh dear.

The more we try and clean Groove

the dirtier he gets.

- Yeah.

- He's got feathers on his

mud and soap on his feathers.

- Hoobygroovy!

I'm the dirtiest Hoob ever!

(Groove laughs)

- We've got to do something!

But what?

♪ What what what ♪

♪ What ♪

- [Roma] Roma Roma Roma Roma

- It's Roma!

Maybe she'll know what to do!

- Hooble doop Hoobs!

- Hooble doop Roma!

- Now today I'm reporting

from a peep's house.

Which is very

dirty at the moment

because I just dropped a big bag

of Hooby cookies

all over the carpet.

- Oh no Roma!

What are you going to do?

- Well it would be

a of a worry Tula.

You've never seen

a mess like it.

But fortunately I've got this.

- Hoobygalooby!

What's that Roma?

- It's a vacuum cleaner Iver.

You switch it on like so.

(air whooshes through vacuum)

Then it starts to make

hoobloads of noise

but it has a very powerful suck.

So luckily it also sucks

up hoobloads of dirt.

- Ah!

- Like all these cookie crumbs!

Leaving the floor

nice and clean.

(vauum powers down)

Then after it's

sucked them all up

it keeps them in this bag.

See?

- Roma, aren't the

Hooby cookie crumbs

all over the floor again now?

- Oh

Hooby bother!

(Iver laughs)

Oh well I suppose I

better start again.

This is Roma Hoob

about to vacuum for

the second time today.

(Iver laughs)

Hooble toodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

- Hoobygalooby that vacuum

cleaner sucked up all that dirt.

- Yes.

That's bound to

get Groove clean.

- I'll ask Hubba Hubba to

order us one from Hoobnet.

- Yes.

Don't worry Groove you'll soon--

Groove?

What are you doing?

- Oh, I'm just

thinking of putting

some Hoobygoop on top of the

feathers and mud and soap.

Then I'll be really dirty.

(Groove laughs)

- Groove!

No!

- Oh.

- One vacuum

cleaner on it's way!

the question to,

how can we make

Groove even dirtier?

- Yes.

- Oh yes you have

done a good job.

What's that?

Looks like a broom only smaller.

- It's called a a

dust pan and brush.

It's for cleaning in the corners

where the broom

is too big to go.

(upbeat guitar music)

A brush might get

you clean Groove.

If the mud on you is dry.

- Oh yeah, let's try it.

- Hey, this feels hoobygroovy.

Tula,

Iver

look!

I'm being brushed.

- We're watching!

- And it's getting you clean.

- Hey, there's only

been one thing today

better than being dirty

and that's being brushed.

(Groove laughs)

- Why don't you

take this brush back

with you to the Hoobmobile.

- Then Iver and Tula can see

if they can brush

you really clean.

- Of course.

- Thanks so much tiddlypeeps.

Hooble toodle doo!

brush is the answer.

- 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 are we ever going

to get Groove clean?

- Why were we asking

that question?

Because I fell in some mud.

- Yes and he got very dirty.

- [Tula] First of all,

we heard a hooblygroobly

story all about an apron.

Aprons are really good

at keeping you clean.

- But they don't get you clean

when you're already dirty.

- [Groove] But it did mean Tula

could give me a hoobledigger.

- Some things can be cleaned

with cloths and dusters.

- [Iver] But that

just spread the mud

all over Groove's

fur and the cloth.

- [Tula] And then the

feathers came out of

the Hooby engine duster

and stuck onto the mud.

- I looked hoobygroovy.

- [Tula] Then the tiddlypeeps

told us about soap.

- [Iver] But the problem is

you need water to

make soap work.

- [Tula] We tried to use

the soap without water

but it just made Groove sticky.

- [Groove] As well as

muddy and feathery.

- Then Roma came up with

something truly hoobatious.

- [Tula] A vacuum cleaner

that can suck up

hoobloads of dirt.

- But I liked being dirty.

Well until I went to

see the tiddlypeeps.

They showed me a

broom and a brush

that they were using

to clean the floor.

- It turns out,

you can use a brush on a Hoob.

Especially a Hoob with

dried mud all over him.

- [Iver] And being brushed is

even better than being dirty.

(Groove laughs)

- I should say it is Groove.

- Yeah.

- So it's thanks once again

to Iver,

Tula,

Groove and Roma

for giving Hoobs

everywhere a clean peep

into the world of peeps.

And remember however

dirty you are

have a nice day.

And hooble toodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

- Oh, where are

you going Groove?

- Hmmm?

Oh I was gonna find

another mud puddle

to fall into so you

could brush me again.

- Oh no, Groove

Groove Groove wait.

We can brush you anyway.

- Really?

Right.

Get brushing.
