(soft flute music)
- Oh, our pond is hooby groovy,
don't you think, Tula?
- Hooby groovy.
- Yeah, it's so bluey
and greeny and silvery,
I wonder what it would be
like to live in the pond.
- Live? In the pond?
Groove, that would
mean living underwater.
- [Iver] Groove! Tula!
Can you come down a minute?
- And living underwater
would mean getting wet.
- Oh, getting wet, yeah.
- [Iver] Groove! Tula!
We need a question
for Hoob News!
- Let's go and help Iver.
- Yeah, I wish I could live
underwater without getting wet.
- Question, a question,
question, question...
- Hoobledoop, Iver.
Sorry it took so long.
Groove and I were
talking about the pond.
- It's the pond. Oh! Do you
think there's a question
about the pond we could
ask for Hoob News?
- Fish live
underwater, you know.
- Yes, but fish don't hate
getting wet! Hoobs do.
- What are you
two talking about?
- Well, if Hoobs didn't
hate getting wet,
could we live
underwater like a fish?
- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba! Hubba!
- Oh, it's Hubba Hubba.
- If Hoobs didn't
mind getting wet,
could we live
underwater like a fish?
Oh, that's a
fantabby-Hooby question
for today's Hoob News, Groove!
- Well done, Groove!
- And I'm sure it's
something Hoobs everywhere
would want to know.
- Well I know I do.
- Please will you email
Roma, Hubba Hubba?
To see what she can find
out about living underwater?
- Of course, Tula.
But before I do that,
I'll see what I can find
on Hoobnet about fish.
(humming)
Ah! Here we go.
(cheery music)
Look at all the different
kinds of fish in the sea!
Ooh, and there are
a couple of big ones
swimming in front of all
that green, bushy stuff.
Oh look! Some blue ones!
My own personal favorite.
Look at the little yellow ones!
Ooh, and there's a big,
big, big fierce one there.
Look at the sunlight
through all those fish!
Oh, aren't they beautiful?
Fish in the sea!
- Well, there are hundreds
of different kinds
of fish on the big
planet, aren't there?
- Yes, and they all
live underwater.
- I love watching them swim.
(laughing)
- Yeah, that's very fishy, Tula.
- Imagine what it'd been like
never to walk or run
or hop, but just swim.
- Wow.
- Even if I didn't
hate getting wet,
I couldn't live
underwater. I can't swim!
- You could learn.
- I could, yes. But how?
♪ How, how, how, ♪
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how, how. ♪
- I know how, Hoobs.
- You do, Hubba Hubba?
- Yes. Ask the Tiddlypeeps.
They're always jumping
in and out of the water.
- You're right, Hubba Hubba!
Tiddlypeeps love swimming.
- Come on, Iver. I'll drive
you to find some Tiddlypeeps.
- Alright, I can't
wait! Come on!
- Let's get those
Motorettes singing!
(laughing)
- Hooby groovy.
- Seatbelt.

(frantic breathing)
- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps!
- [Tiddlypeeps]
Hoobledoop, Iver!
- Do you want to
do a Hooby hello?
- [Tiddlypeeps] Yes!
- Come on then!
- [All] Hoobledoop,
Hoobledoop, whoop whoop whoop!
- As you know, we
Hoobs hate getting wet.
But, if we didn't and we
wanted to live underwater
we'd have to learn
to swim, wouldn't we?
- [Tiddlypeeps] Yes.
- Do you think you could
teach me how to do it?
- [Tiddlypeeps] Yes.
- Swimming is one of the most
fun things that you can do.
- First, you jump in the water.
(upbeat music)
(water splashing)
- [Tula and Groove] Whoa!
- Maybe I'll do that last, yes.
- Yeah.
- Then, you kick your
legs and move your arms.
(water splashing)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
oh! That's Hoobacious!
But I think I'll stick
to the breaststroke.
I think I'm getting
quite good now.
- That's great, Iver.
- You're doing
really well, Iver.
- Thank you. Are you
watching this, Groove?
- Yes, Iver.
- Swimming is Hoobacious fun.
- [Tula and Groove]
Yes, it looks it!
- Thank you, Tiddlypeeps!
I've got to get back
to the Hoobmobile now,
so Hooble toodle doo!
- [Tiddlypeeps]
Hooble toodle doo!
(laughing)
(cheery music)
- Oh yes, I really think I could
get the hang of
this swimming thing.
- Me too, Groove.
- If we didn't hate getting wet,
we could live
underwater no problem.
(laughing)
- Where are you
swimming to, Groove?
- The Hoobofridge.
All this swimming
is making me hungry!
(laughing)
Want a bit, Tula?
- Thanks, Groove.
- Oh, wait a minute.
If we lived underwater,
we wouldn't be able
to get Hoobnips
out of the
Hoobofridge, would we?
- Then what would we eat?
- We'd eat what fish eat.
- What do fish eat?
- I know! Remember all that
green bushy stuff we saw
when the fish were
swimming under the water?
Maybe fish eat that.
- I don't fancy eating
green bushy stuff.
It didn't look very tasty to me.
I'd much rather have
Hoobygoop in my Hoobybun.
Do we have any Hoobygoop?
- Well, you wouldn't
be able to eat
Hoobygoop in a Hoobybun if you
lived underwater like a fish.
- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba! Hubba!
- Hoobledoop, Hubba
Hubba. We have a question.
- Oh, fantabby-Hooby.
There's only one
thing I like more
than a question.
- What's that?
- It's the sound of Hooboglibba
calling for its tea.
Hooboglibba, glibba, glibba! Ah.
Now, what was your
question, Tula?
- Do fish eat that green
bushy stuff we saw underwater?
- Well, let's see...
I'll key in fish,
and then I'll key
in eat, ah, yes.
Fish do eat that
green bushy stuff.
It's called seaweed.
- I'll go and print that out.
- We'll have to taste it.
- Taste it? Ugh. You
won't catch me eating
a green bush, no thank you.
I'll stick to my Hoobybun.
- Groove, if we didn't
hate getting wet
and we lived
underwater like a fish,
then we'd have to eat like a
fish, otherwise we'd starve.
Will you order some seaweed
please, Hubba Hubba?
- It would be my pleasure.
- Yuck.
- Come on, Groove. It's
probably not that yuck.
- Besides, we need to
learn how to eat it
if we're going to live
underwater like a fish.

- Oh you're right. It's not bad!
- So now we know, we
could live underwater
if we didn't hate getting wet.
Is it time for Hoob News?
(yawning)
- I'm sorry, Groove,
are we keeping you up?
- No, no, no, no,
it's just all this
swimming and eating
is making me sleepy.
- Oh no!
- What?
- We forgot about sleeping!
If we lived underwater,
we'd have to sleep somewhere!
- But where?
♪ Where, where, where ♪
♪ Where ♪
- Where do fish sleep?
- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba! Hubba!
- Oh, here's Hubba Hubba.
- Did I hear you ask,
where do fish sleep?
- Yes, Hubba Hubba.
- Oh, Hoobygalooby! You
asked that question at just
the right moment. I have a
story here from a Tiddlypeep,
which I am quite certain
you will find useful.
- [Narrator] Once
upon a time, there was
a little silver
fish called Edward.
Every day, Edward swam
with all his friends
in a big group called a shoal.
Every night, all of Edward's
friends settled down to sleep.
Some slept inside the coral.
(snoring)
Some slept beneath the seaweed.
(snoring)
Some slept under the sand.
(snoring)
Poor Edward. He didn't
have anywhere to sleep.
- All these places are
full of other fish.
There's no room for me.
- [Narrator] So Edward swam
round and round and
round all by himself.
One night, a big old
whiskery fish swam by.
- Why aren't you in bed?
- [Narrator] Asked the
big old whiskery fish.
- Every fish should
have a place to sleep.
- I don't have a bed of my own.
- [Narrator] Bubbled
Edward sadly.
- Follow me.
- [Narrator] So Edward followed
the big old whiskery
fish round the coral,
past the seaweed, over the sand,
until they came to
a great big rock.
Then, they swam underneath
where it was dark and safe.
- There's a perfect bed for you.
- [Narrator] Said the
big old whiskey fish.
And he was right. Edward
snuggled down under his rock,
and had the best night's
sleep he'd ever had.
(snoring)
- Ooh, I don't think I'd like
to sleep in coral. Too spiky!
- I agree. So that means
we could sleep in sand,
under some seaweed,
or under a rock.
What do you think, Groove?
- Oh, I think I'd want to
take my Hoobypod with me.
Oh, sorry, I've
got the Hoobyhiccs.
(laughing)
- Do you know, I
suppose if we had to,
we could wrap seaweed around
ourselves like a Hoobypod.
- Good idea, Iver! Let me try.
- Hang on, if I lived
underwater like a fish
and ate seaweed, well, if I
made a Hoobypod out of seaweed
then I'd just end
up eating my bed.
- Stop it, Groove!
You'll just have to stop
yourself from eating your bed.
Now, yes.
I don't think this will
be a bad Hoobypod at all.
(hiccup)
- Oh, I'm sorry, I can't
get rid of my Hoobyhiccs.
- Serves you right for
eating my fishy bed.
- I wonder if you can get
the Hoobyhiccs underwater.
- Oh, I wouldn't think so.
Fish must hold their
breath all the time.
Holding your breath
is the best way
to get rid of Hoobyhiccs.
Groove, why don't
you hold your breath?
- Good idea.
- Wait a minute. If
we lived underwater,
would we have to
hold our breath?
- Well of course. We couldn't
breathe underwater, could we?
- No, I couldn't do it anyway.
Ah, that is a good way to
get rid of the Hoobyhiccs.
- How do fish hold their breath
all the time do you suppose?
- [Roma] Roma!
- Oh, here's Roma.
Perhaps she'll know.
- Hoobledoop, Roma!
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
Now, Hubba Hubba
emailed me earlier
and asked me to find
out all about fish.
Well, as you can see,
I'm standing in front
of this Hoobacious
t*nk full of fish.
Peeps call these
places aquariums.
Don't you think it would be
fantabby-Hooby to
be a fish, Hoobs?
- Yes, Roma, we do.
But there was something
we wanted to ask you.
- In a minute, Iver.
Now, there's one thing about
being a fish that worries me.
Breathing.
But I've made the most
amazing discovery.
Fish don't breathe in the
air like we Hoobs, you see.
Fish breathe underwater.
But how do they do it?
Well, I'll tell you.
See those
feathery floaty bits on
either side of their heads?
- [Iver] Yeah.
- Well, those are gills. Fish
use these gills to breathe.
Water flows over the gills,
and all the little bits of air
in the water go
straight into the fish.
Isn't that Hoobacious?
- Yes.
- So Hoobs, now you know,
that's why fish can live
underwater and Hoobs can't.
So Iver, what was it
that you wanted to ask?
- Actually I think you might've
already answered it, Roma.
- Well, I try to
be thorough, Hoobs.
(laughing)
This is Roma Hoob in an
aquarium, not underwater,
but feeling Hoobaciously
fishy. Hooble toodle doo!
- Hooble toodle doo!
- Well, we can move like a
fish, and eat like a fish,
and sleep like a fish,
but there is no way
we can breathe like a fish.
- Nope, Hoobs don't have gills.
- So, the answer to the
question, if Hoobs didn't hate
getting wet, could we live
underwater like a fish is, no.
- No?
- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba! Hubba!
- No?
- No.
- But I'm fairly certain that
on one of my Hoobnet searches
I've seen pictures of
peeps swimming underwater
without holding their breath.
- Have you?
- Yes. Why don't you
ask the Tiddlypeeps?
They're sure to know.
But hurry! It's almost
time for Hoob News.
- Oh, let's get those
Motorettes singing!
(hiccup)
- Sorry, Hubba Hubba.

- [Tiddlypeeps]
Hoobledoop, Iver!
- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps.
We've been trying to find out
if a Hoob could live
underwater like a fish.
I think we've found
out that we can't.
- Why not?
- Well, we don't
have gills like fish
so how could we breathe?
- You could use one of these.
- Hoobygalooby! What's that?
- It's called a snorkel.
- A snorkel? How does it work?
- It's easy. You put
this bit in your mouth,
the top sticks out of the water,
then you breathe air through it.
- Tula, Tula! Order
some snorkels now!
- Yes, yes.
- Wave to Groove and Tula in
the Hoobmobile, Tiddlypeeps.
- [Tiddlypeeps] Hoobledoop,
Tula! Hoobledoop, Groove!
- Excuse me, what are those
funny glasses on the
top of your head for?
- They're called goggles.
You wear them so you
can see underwater.
- Hoobygalooby!
Tula, Tula! Order some
of those goggles, too.
- Goggles!
- So, do you think Hoobs could
live underwater like a fish?
- Well maybe not quite live but
you could visit for a while.
- Well, visiting would
still be Hoobacious.
Well, I've got to get
back to the Hoobmobile now
but thanks very much,
Tiddlypeeps! Hooble toodle doo!
- [Tiddlypeeps]
Hooble toodle doo!
(upbeat piano music)
- Here are the
snorkels and goggles!
- Isn't it Hoobacious? If
we didn't hate getting wet,
we could breathe underwater!
- Yeah, let's have a look.
Ah, look at this.
Ah, look at these!
So, which is the goggle
and which is the snorkel?
- You put the goggles
over your eyes..
- And the snorkel in your mouth.

- Hubba! Hubba!
So Hoobs, are you ready
with your Hoob News?
- [Tula, Iver, and Groove]
We're ready Hubba Hubba.
- Take it away!
- Hoobledoop woo 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 the question...
- If Hoobs didn't
hate getting wet,
could we live
underwater like a fish?
- [Iver] First we had a look
at Hoobloads of
different kinds of fish,
and the first thing we
noticed was how they moved.
- [Tula] They swim!
- [Iver] Tiddlypeeps are
very good at swimming,
so I went to see them, and
they taught me how to do it.
- [Groove] All that
swimming made us hungry.
- [Tula] And that's
when we realized,
that if we wanted
to live underwater,
we'd have to be able
to eat underwater.
- [Groove] We found out
that fish eat seaweed
so we decided to try it, and
it was really rather tasty.
- [Iver] We found out from a
story that fish sleep in coral,
or in the sand, or in
seaweed, or under rocks.
- [Tula] We made a
Hoobypod out of seaweed.
- [Iver] But Groove ate it!
- [Tula] Still.
If we had to sleep
in a Hoobypod made
of seaweed, we could.
But then came the big question.
If you lived underwater, would
you have to hold your breath?
- [Groove] I tried holding
mine, but I couldn't.
Not for long.
- [Tula] We wondered
how fish do it.
- [Iver] Roma taught us
that fish have gills,
which take the air out of the
water so they can breathe.
- [Groove] Hoobs
don't have gills,
so we couldn't live underwater.
- [Iver] Then the
Tiddlypeeps showed us a way
of breathing underwater
using a snorkel!
- [Tula] But you
couldn't breathe through
a snorkel all the time
- [Iver] So, the
answer to the question,
if Hoobs didn't
hate getting wet,
could we live underwater
like a fish is no.
- But with a snorkel
to help us breathe,
we could visit for a while.
- [Tula, Iver, and Groove]
Hoob, Hoob, Hooray!
- And 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!
- [Tula, Iver, and
Groove] Hooble toodle doo!
- Where are you going?
(labored breathing)
- Went to find
some fish to visit.
- Good idea!
- Hang on, I haven't got
mine, I haven't got mine,
I don't have gills, you know!
