(mysterious warbling)

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps.

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 Hoobapeadia.

Here they come!

(warm music)

(birds chirping)

- (gasps) Hooby-galooby!

I can see a little

stream in the distance

at the foot of a hill! (sighs)

- Does this go thud?

No, that just goes clatter.

(laughs) What about this?

(metallic clanging)

(Groove groans)

No, that's way too clangy.

Something must go thud.

- Groove, whatcha doing?

- I'm starting a collection of

things that go thud. (grunts)

They go thud. (laughs)

- Oh, well, I was

just looking outside

with the Hooby See-more, and

wondering what it would be like

to go out exploring.

- Go out exploring?

Now, that would be hooby-groovy.

- Hoobledoop, Tula,

hoobledoop, Groove.

- [Groove and Tula]

Hoobledoop, Iver.

- Tula wants to

go out exploring.

- What, now?

Before we thought of a

question for Hoob News?

You can't go now.

- I'll explore

quickly, I promise.

- But Tula--

- No, Iver, Iver,

listen, think of it this way.

The sooner Tula goes, the

sooner she'll be back.

- So?

- So I say we help her put

together what she needs

to go exploring.

- But what about the

question for Hoob News?

- While she's gone,

we'll think of one.

- Oh, all right, yes, yes.

So what does Tula need

to go out exploring?

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- Oh, oh, that's it!

I thought of a question.

- I know.

(Iver and Groove laughing)

- What does Tula need

to go out exploring?

That's a fantabbyhooby

question for Hoob News.

- Thanks, Hubba Hubba, I'm

quite pleased with it too.

- And the minute

we find the answer,

I can go out exploring!

- But where?

♪ Where, where, where, where ♪

♪ Where, where ♪

- Well, I'm not

exactly sure where.

- Also, once you've gone there,

will you be able to get back?

- Of course I will!

- But how?

♪ How, how, how, how, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪

♪ How, how ♪

- I'll know how

once I know where.

- That you will, Tula.

And you might just find

that the information

I'm about to download

from HoobNet will

give you some ideas.

(bright music)

Oh, yes, there are lots

of different places

you can go exploring

on the Peep Planet.

Look at that, by rivers, up

in mountains on the snow.

But if you need to know

how to get from one place

to another, you'll

need a map, you see?

Now, this is a map, Hoobs.

Peeps use them to

show them where to go

and to find out what

that place will be like

when they get there.

Isn't that absolutely

hoobacious?

- Hooby-galooby!

If I'm going out

exploring, I need a map.

- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,

Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- Hoobledoop, Hubba Hubba.

Could you order me a--

- Map?

There's one on the way, Tula.

- Oh, Hubba Hubba, what

would we do without you?

- Oh, here it is already.

- Yeah.

(Iver laughs)

- I'll get it.

- You get it.

- Oh, good.

Whoops, I just remembered,

I must email Roma.

She knows hoobloads

about exploring!

She does it all the time.

- Yeah.

- I hope the map helps, Tula.

- Thanks, Hubba Hubba.

- Here it is!

- Oh!

- Here is the map!

- Wow!

- Hooby-galooby, look at this!

This map shows all the places

around where we're parked!

Look, look, there's

the Hoobmobile!

And oh, down here,

there's the little stream

that I saw through

the Hooby See-more.

And (gasps) up there,

look, that's the hill!

Right, now that I've

got what I need,

I'll just be off exploring.

Hooble-toodle-doo!

- Hooble-toodle-doo!

- Hooble-toodle-doo-hoo!

- Are we really gonna do

Hoob News without her?

- Well, if the answer

to the question

what does Tula need to go

out exploring is a map,

then yes, because she's not

here, she's out exploring!

- Oh, yeah, I guess, yeah.

Oh, Iver, Iver, Iver,

do we have enough time

for me to make Tula

a welcome back card, for when

she's finished exploring?

- Oh, that's a hoobacious

idea, Groove! (laughs)

Do you know, I think

there's probably time.

- Yeah, well, you

get a piece of card,

and I've got my Hooby pen here.

I'm gonna draw a picture

of Tula with her map.

Right.

(upbeat music)

Oh, it's Tula.

- Oh!

Have you finished

exploring already, Tula?

- No, but I started to

get really, really hungry,

and you can't explore when

you're hungry, can you?

- Oh, no, no!

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,

Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- Hoobledoop, Tula.

That was a quick exploration.

- [Iver and Groove] She's

hungry, Hubba Hubba.

- Hooby-galooby, you can't

explore anything properly

if you're hungry, but

I know what you can do.

You can go and see

some Tiddlypeeps.

- Hoobly-groobly idea!

- They'll know how to

deal with feeling hungry

when you're out exploring.

- I'll drive.

- Right, let's get those

Motorettes singing.

(Hoobs laughing)

- Right then.

(upbeat music)

- Seat belt.

(seat belt clicks)

- Seat belt.

- We're off to see

the Tiddlypeeps.

- Yeah.

- [Children] Hey, it's Tula!

Hello, Tula!

- Would you like to

do a hooby hello?

- [Children] Yes!

- [All] Hoobledoop, hoobledoop,

whoot, whoot, whoot!

- Is it all right if

I ask you a question?

- Of course, Tula.

- Oh, good, because

I need your help.

I went out exploring, but

before I got very far,

I got really hungry,

and had to come back.

- Didn't you have

a picnic with you?

You know, food that you can

carry around and eat outside?

- Of course, that's

exactly what I need.

- Yeah.

- Iver, Groove,

did you hear that?

- Oh, yes.

- A picnic!

- Picnic!

- Picnic, yes.

- So,

what food do you think I

should take in a picnic?

- Oh, lots of things,

sandwiches, crisps, and fruit.

- And a drink!

- Iver, Groove, see what

we have in the hoobofridge

that I can take as a picnic!

- Just make sure it's yummy.

- He's right, it definitely

needs to be yummy!

Oh, thanks so much, Tiddlypeeps.

A picnic will be just the thing.

Hooble-toodle-doo!

- [Children] Hooble-toodle-doo!

(bright orchestral music)

- Groove, would an apple

help you to draw Tula?

- Oh, yes, I'm sure it

would, Iver, thank you.

(Iver laughs)

Yeah.

- There you are.

All right.

(hammer bounces)

There.

Oh, I just,

oh, come on!

Hooby bother, I can't make

this cheese sandwich go flat.

- What do you think look?

- Oh, it's hooby-groovy.

(Iver and Groove laugh)

- Right.

- Oh!

(sandwich splats)

Yes!

Do you know, Groove, you are

a hoobacious sandwich whacker.

- Ah, it's all in

the wrist, Iver.

Now then, got to

draw the picnic.

- You're a hoobacious

drawer too, Groove.

- Aw, thank you, Iver.

- I'm back!

- Do you know, oh, Tula.

- So, what picnic

have you got for me?

- Well, I've got

you some hoobofish,

a yummy flat cheese sandwich,

and a hoobalicious apple!

- Oh, Iver, thank you!

You deserve a hooble digger.

- Oh!

- [Tula and Iver]

Hooble, hooble,

digger, digger,

digger, digger, digger.

(Tula and Iver laughing)

- Right, I've got my picnic

and I have got my map,

you've got the

answer for Hoob News.

I'm out exploring now.

Hooble-toodle-doo!

- Perfect.

Hooble-toodle-doo.

- Hooble-toodle-doo.

(Iver laughs)

- Do you think I'll

get a hooble digger

when I give her the card?

- I'm sure you will, Groove,

and as soon as you finish the

card, we can do Hoob News.

- Oh, it'll be ready soon, Iver.

- But when?

- Tula, what's the problem now?

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- Oh, Tula, you're back.

How was it?

- It wasn't!

My Hooby paws are

hurting, Hubba Hubba.

I didn't know exploring hurt!

- Ah, well, it just so happens,

I've received a story from a

Tiddlypeep that might help you.

(laughs) How's that

for coincidence then?

(Hubba Hubba laughs)

(upbeat music)

(crowd cheering)

- [Narrator] It was the

biggest shoe race of the year,

and the shoes were getting

ready at the starting line.

A pair of smart trainers

called Flash and Dash

were about to race a

pair of old walking boots

called Clomp and Stomp.

- [Fl*sh and Dash]

We're sure to win!

- [Narrator] Boasted

Flash and Dash.

- [Fl*sh and Dash] You're

far too clompy and stompy

to run fast.

- [Clomp] Maybe so.

- [Narrator] Said Clomp.

- [Stomp] But at least

we're comfortable.

- [Narrator] Said Stomp.

Barney Boot got ready

to start the race.

He bellowed:

- [Barney Boot] On your

marks, get set, go!

- [Narrator] Flash

and Dash sped off

as fast as they could go.

- [Fl*sh and Dash] Eat our dust!

- [Narrator] They cried

as Clomp and Stomp

walked slowly behind.

But still, Clomp and

Stomp slowly walked on.

At last, Flash and Dash

could see the finishing post,

and were now so certain to win

that they decided to

have a little rest

and wait for Clomp

and Stomp to catch up.

When the old walking

boots arrived,

the trainers danced around them,

sticking their tongues out.

- [Fl*sh and Dash] You'll never

win, you're just too slow.

- [Narrator] Jeered Flash.

But Clomp and Stomp only

smiled and kept on walking.

Flash and Dash ran for the

finishing post, but suddenly,

Flash tripped on his laces.

(Flash yelling)

Then, Dash started

to hop around.

- Ow, ow, ow, there's

a stone in my sole!

- [Narrator] And as they

stumbled and hopped,

and hopped and stumbled, Clomp

and Stomp slowly passed them

and walked past the post.

(crowd cheering)

The crowd cheered.

(crowd cheering)

- [Clomp] It just goes to show.

- [Narrator] Said Clomp.

- [Clomp] That sometimes,

it's better to be slow

and comfortable than

flashy and dashy.

(crowd cheering)

- [Narrator] So Clomp and

Stomp were the happiest pair

of walking boots in the

world as they set off

on their long walk home.

(Groove laughs)

- Stomp and Clomp are

exactly what I need.

- Yeah, and it just so

happens that I have a pair

of stompers and clompers

right here in my collection

of things that go thud.

(groans) There.

(laughs) Thud.

- Groove, they are

hoobly-groobly!

(Tula grunting)

Right, now I really

am going exploring.

Hooble-toodle-doo!

- Hooble-toodle-doo!

- Toodle-doo.

Phew, right.

(Groove sighs)

Now we can do Hoob News.

- No, wait a minute, Iver.

I've gotta draw the walking

boots on Tula first.

- Oh, I, oh!

(Tula panting)

Tula, did you forget something?

- Hooby-pod.

Hooby-pod!

- [Iver and Groove]

Her Hooby-pod?

- Of course, I'll need

it when I get tired.

You get very tired when

you're out exploring,

I can tell you--

- [Computer] Roma, Roma, Roma.

- Oh, Roma's here!

Let's see what she has to say,

and then we'll deal

with your Hooby-pod.

- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!

- [Hoobs] Hoobledoop, Roma!

- Hubba Hubba asked me to

find out what you might need

to go out exploring, Tula.

- I think I'm going

to need my Hooby-pod.

- I think I found something

better than a Hooby-pod.

- Oh?

- You have?

- I found it here

at this campsite.

(birds chirping)

It's called a sleeping bag,

and Peeps use it to sleep in

when they find themselves

exploring away from their homes.

- It sort of looks like a

Hooby-pod, doesn't it, Roma?

- Yes, it does,

Groove, and it opens up

so it's very easy to

get in and out of.

- [Iver and Groove] Yeah.

- And it keeps you ever

so lovely and warm.

- I need a sleeping bag!

- Oh, I'm sure Hubba Hubba will

order you one from HoobNet.

(yawns) Well, I'd

send you this one,

but I'm about to climb

into it for a snooze.

All this camping

has made me tired.

(sighs) This is Roma Hoob,

(yawns) about to get into

a hoobacious squishy bag.

(yawns) Hooble-toodle-doo.

Now, how do I get

into this thing?

- Hubba Hubba is ordering

me a sleeping bag!

Then I'll have everything

I need to go out exploring.

I can't wait!

(Tula sighs)

- All I need now is my

sleeping bag and then I'm off.

(bright warbling)

Here it is.

(Tula laughs excitedly)

- I have to draw a

sleeping bag now as well

before we can do Hoob News.

- (gasps) Oh, look, look, look!

(Tula giggles)

Hooby-galooby!

Oh, it's a bit bigger than

I thought it would be.

- Yeah.

- How are you going to

carry your map, your picnic,

and your sleeping bag?

- I could put the other

things in the sleeping bag!

- Oh!

- It's a bag, after all.

Hold it open, Groove.

- Yeah, oh, right.

- Got it?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Picnic,

and there.

And map.

There we go.

And bag, bag,

bag. (groans)

This is not going to work.

(Hoobs laughing)

- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,

Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- Now then, Tula, how

far has our intrepid

Hoob explorer got?

- Not even at the

door, Hubba Hubba.

I've got everything I

need to go exploring,

but I can't carry it all.

- That is a challenge,

but I'm sure it's one

that the Tiddlypeeps could

help you to overcome.

- Right.

Let's go.

- [Tula] Hoobledoop,

Tiddlypeeps.

- [Children] Hoobledoop, Tula!

- You look as if

you're going somewhere.

- We are, we're going out

exploring with my dad.

- Hooby-galooby!

I've been trying to go

out exploring all day!

- What's the problem?

- Well, I've got

everything I need,

but now I don't know

how to carry it all.

- What about putting your

things in a bag, Tula?

- I tried putting everything

in my sleeping bag,

but then it was

too big to carry.

- What you need is a rucksack.

(Iver and Groove gasp)

- Oh, a rucksack!

- Rucksack.

- Iver, Groove,

can you see this?

- Oh, yes.

- Yes, we're watching!

- [Taller Girl] It's got

straps so you can carry it

on your back.

- And that way,

your hands on free.

- And it's big enough to

fit everything you need

to go out exploring.

- That rucksack

is hoobly-groobly.

You Tiddlypeeps

are ever so clever.

- Aren't they?

- Could I ask just

one more thing?

- Of course you can, Tula.

- Well, do you have a

spare rucksack I could use?

- [Taller Girl] Yes, we do!

- Oh, that's wonderful!

Now I'm really ready

to go out exploring.

Hooble-toodle-doo!

- [Children] Hooble-toodle-doo!

(bright orchestral music)

- Well, what do you think?

- Oh, it's

fantabbyhooby, Groove.

You better hide it, though.

She'll be back any minute.

- I'm back!

- Whoa!

(Iver laughs)

- Look at this!

Oh, yes, right, let's put

everything into my rucksack.

Then I'm off exploring!

- And we're off to do Hoob News.

- Here's the picnic.

- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,

Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- Well, Iver and Groove,

are you ready to give me

your Hoob News for

my great Hoobapeadia?

- [Iver and Groove]

We're ready, Hubba Hubba!

- Then take it away.

(upbeat music)

- Hoobledoop whoot to

all you Hoobs out there.

Welcome to Hoob News, the new

show for Hoobs everywhere!

I'm Iver.

- I'm Groove.

- [Iver and Groove]

And Tula's not here.

- No.

- No.

Today, we've been

asking the question:

- What does Tula need

to go out exploring?

- [Iver] First,

Hubba Hubba showed us

that Peeps use a map to

tell them where they are

when they're exploring.

- A map?

- At first,

we thought that was the answer.

Tula went out exploring, but

she came right back again

because she was hungry.

- There's the Hoobmobile.

- [Iver] So she went

to see the Tiddlypeeps,

and they suggested that

she took a picnic with her.

- [Groove] So Iver made

Tula her very own picnic,

and off she went again.

But then her Hooby

paws started to hurt.

- [Iver] So Hubba Hubba

showed us a hoobacious story

about a pair of walking boots!

- [Groove] And luckily, I

had a pair in my collection

of things that go thud.

- [Iver] Tula left

to go exploring,

and we thought that was that.

- [Groove] But then she came

back to get her Hooby-pod.

Luckily, Roma told us about

something called a sleeping bag.

Peeps use them to sleep in

when they're out camping.

- [Iver] But Tula now had

so many things to carry,

she didn't know what to do!

- [Groove] But the

hooby-groovy Tiddlypeeps

knew just what Tula needed

to carry her things.

(Tula panting)

- [Hoobs] A rucksack!

- Yes, and I can

tell you something,

exploring is the

most hoobly-groobly

thing in the world!

Phew!

- But rather tiring, eh?

(Hoobs laugh)

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,

have a nice day and

hooble-toodle-doo!

- [Hoobs] Hooble-toodle-doo!

- There's one more

thing you need, Tula.

- Really?

What?

- [Iver and Groove]

A welcome back card!

- Oh, thank you!

It's perfect!

- Yeah.

- And you know what you need?

- [Groove] What?

- A hooble digger!

(Hoobs laughing)

- [Tula and Groove]

Hooble, hooble,

digger, digger,

digger, digger, digger!

(Tula and Groove laugh)
