- Hooble doop, tiddly peeps.
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 Hoobapedia.
Here they come!

- (groaning)
(groaning and fidgeting)
- Oh, Iver! You've
done it again!
- ... Huh? What have I done?
- You wriggled!
- Yeah, and fidgeted,
like you always do!
- And woke us up.
- I did? (yawns)
How?
♪ How, how, how? ♪
♪ How, how, how, how, how? ♪
♪ How, how? ♪
- Here's how.
(fidgeting and groaning)
- What?
- It's hopeless
trying to sleep when
that's going on.
- Yeah!
- Well, I'm sorry.
(bouncing)
Do you know why I've been
wriggling and fidgeting? Because
you two have been
keeping me awake!
- What?
- Yes, Groove! You
never stop making
weird grunting noises!
(grunting)
And Tula, you go--
(mumbling)
- I do not!
- Yes you do!
And those noises were
keeping me awake,
which is why I was fidgeting!
- Well if you think
our noises were
keeping you awake,
then if we're perfectly
quiet, you should
go to sleep, right?
- It's worth a try.
- Right. Groove and I will be
perfectly quiet. Ready, Groove?
- (sniffles) Ready.
- Right. (fidgets)
- Ah, you see? You're awake and
fidgeting even though we
weren't making any noises!
- So it couldn't have been
our noises keeping you awake.
- But they did! I just don't
feel like going to sleep
right now, that's all.
- Listen, if you're
keeping us awake
because you're awake,
then all we have to
do is work out a way
for you to go to sleep.
- Hmm, what can we do to make
Iver to go to sleep?
- [TV] Hubba! Hubba!
- Yikes, it's Hubba Hubba!
- What can we do to
make Iver go to sleep?
That's a fan-tabby Hooby
question for today's Hoob news!
Hoobs everywhere will want
to know the answer to that!
- Well I certainly
know two Hoobs in this
Hoobmobile who'll want to know!
- Yes, I'll email Roma to see if
she can come up with
any ideas, Iver!
- Thanks, Hubba Hubba!
- (yawns)
You know, I have done
a lot of sleeping
in my time. And I
find that I can't go
to sleep unless I am tired.
Perhaps it would help if
I see what I can find on
Hoobnet about what peeps do
to make themselves tired!
- That's a Hoobly-Groovly idea!
- Ah, yes! Ooh! You might find
something useful here, Iver!
(music)
- [Hubba Hubba] Oh,
what a big jump!
Oh they're all running.
That'll make you tired!
They're jumping and
waving their peep arms.
This one's pushing, they're
wriggling their legs-
I'm feeling tired
just watching them!
They're going- I think
they're going straight down!
(laughs)
- No wonder you
can't sleep, Iver!
You've never done
any of those things.
- And they should
really make you tired.
- Yes. All right.
I'll give it a try!
(giggling)
- Go Iver! Yeah!
- Now, why don't you
go to the roof and
jump up and down
like those peeps did?
(laughing)
- (jumping) Yeah!
(giggling)
- Oh Tula, he'll be
asleep in a blink of
a Hooby eye! I tell you!
Look, here he is now!
- Whoa (laughing)
- [Groove] Oh Iver Iver, Iver!
Mind my collections!
- Don't you worry, Groove!
Everything's under contro-- oh!
(falls) ooh, ouch!
- Oh, Iver! Honestly!
Good job, you fell
in my collection of
soft and furry things,
and not my collection of
hard and spiky things!
- Yes
- Thank you
- [TV] Hubba Hubba!
- So Iver, are you
exhausted? Worn out?
Drained? Spent?
Fatigued? Sacked?
Ready to go to sleep?
- Well. Um.
No, Hubba Hubba.
- Oh. Oh well, never
mind. I've just found
a story from a
tiddly-peep on Hoobnet
that I am certain will help!
(electric sound)
- [Narrator] Katie
Kangaroo's tucked up
on a bed of leaves.
It was soft and comfy!
Her mother put her
to bed early because
all the grown-ups
were having a party.
(doorbell rings)
Soon, the guests
started to arrive.
(doorbell rings rapidly)
First came the wombats.
William Wombat always
made everyone laugh by
pulling funny faces.
(laughing)
The laughter woke Katie up.
Then the koalas arrived.
Kenneth Koala had a very
loud voice and had to
make it even louder to be heard
above the laughing wombats.
- Goodness!
- [Narrator] - he cried.
- I've never seen so many
laughing wombats in my life!
- [Narrator] Poor Katie.
She had to stuff eucalyptus
leaves in her ears to
try to get back to sleep.
Finally, the parakeets arrived,
and they were the
noisiest of all!
(parakeets squawking)
- Katie got out of
her bed of leaves
and ran to find her mother.
- I can't sleep.
- Never mind.
- [Narrator] Said
Mother Kangaroo
- [Mother Kangaroo]
Climb into my pouch.
I'm going to dance.
You'll soon be asleep!
- [Narrator] Mother
Kangaroo started to dance.
Katie couldn't believe
that she'd ever
get to sleep now!
But as Mother Kangaroo danced,
Katie began to rock
from side to side
in her pouch. The
swaying made her feel
all floppy. And before
she knew it, Katie was
fast asleep.
(snoring)
- Sounds like my kind of party.
- Hmm, very interesting.
Not only was Katie
in a warm and comfy spot, but-
- She was being rocked.
- Quite. Maybe swaying
backwards and forwards
will help you go to sleep.
- No, it doesn't work.
- Doesn't it?
- No of course not, we
can't rock ourselves.
- We must be able to find
somewhere we can rock you.
- But where?
♪ Where, where, where, where? ♪
♪ Where? ♪
- Here's where.
- You two get into
your hoovy pods,
and I'll rock you.
- Hoovy pod time!
(whooshing)
(lullaby music plays)
- Ah, I love my hoovy pod.
- Are you ready?
- Ready when you are!
- Then rock-a-rock-a-hoo!
Rock-a-rock-a-hoo!
- Rock-a-rock-a-hoo!
Rock-a-rock-a-
Hey Iver, is it working?
Are you sleepy yet?
- No, I'm feeling seasick.
- Hehe, rock-a-rock-a-hoo!
- Just stop it, please.
- Stop it please!
- All right, then.
- Groove!
- I'll stop you, I'll stop you.
- Oh! Well that's obviously
not working, is it?
I think we'll have to think.
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Listen, listen.
(Tula snoring)
- What is it?
- I don't know, I was going to
ask you the same question.
(snoring continues)
- It's Tula!
(snoring)
- There, I told you
she hooba-hooba-hoobas
in her sleep!
- [TV] Hubba! Hubba!
- Ah, I see Tula's asleep
and hooba-hoobaying.
Oh! But you're
still awake, Iver!
- I'm wide awake.
Exercising didn't make me
feel sleepy, and
neither did rocking.
- Then I think you should
go see the tiddly-peeps.
They're very good at sleeping.
They're bound to have
some suggestions!
- Hoobacious idea, Hubba Hubba!
- Yeah, I'll drive. Let's
get those Motorettes singing!
- Seatbelts?
- Yeah.
- We're off to see
the tiddly-peeps!

- Oh. Oh hi, you
two! Will you do
a hooby-hello for me?
- Yes!
Hooble-doop! Hooble-doop!
Woop! Woop! Woop!
- [Iver] All right! Why
don't you wave into the
Hooby-cam so that Groove
and Tula can see you?
- Hooble-doop, Tula!
Hooble-doop, Groove!
- Hooble-doop, tiddly-peeps!
- (groaning) Hooble-doo,
tiddly-peeps.
- I've been having
trouble getting to sleep,
and I was wondering
how do tiddly-peeps
get to sleep?
- Oh that's easy.
First we go to bed.
- [Iver] Oh. Oh, that's
just like getting to
our Hooby-pods!
- You get inside like
this, and get tucked in.
- You have to be really comfy.
- [Iver] So do Hoobs.
But Hooby-pods are the
warmest, comfiest
places in the universe.
There's got to be
something else.
- Well if you really
can't sleep, our moms
and dads sings a lullaby.
- What's a lullaby?
- It's a really gentle song.
- How does it go?
- Like this.
(sings together)
♪ Rock-a-bye baby,
on the tree top ♪
♪ When the wind blows,
the cradle will rock ♪
♪ When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall ♪
♪ And down will come
baby, cradle and all ♪
- That was a
Hoobaciously pretty song.
What was it called again?
- A lullaby.
- Get the Hooby-pod
ready, Hoobs!
I think I might have the answer!
Thanks tiddly-peeps, thank you!
I better be going soon.
Hooble-toodle-doo!
- Oh, your Hooby-pod
is ready for you, Iver.
- Thank you very much, Tula.
- Yeah, and we're gonna
sing you a lovely lullaby.
- (groans) Right. I'm ready.
♪ I'll sing a soft
and gentle tune ♪
♪ Hush, little Hoob.
Don't you sigh ♪
♪ You'll be sleeping very soon ♪
♪ Hush little Hoob, and
listen to our lullaby ♪
♪ Oh, la la la la lullaby ♪
♪ Close your little Hooby eye ♪
♪ We'll rock you
in your Hooby-pod ♪
♪ Rock you to the land of nod ♪
♪ Oh, la la la la lullaby ♪
♪ Hush little Hoob ♪
♪ And close your
little Hooby eye ♪
♪ I'll sing a quiet
and gentle song ♪
♪ Hush little Hoob,
don't you sigh ♪
♪ For you won't be
awake for long ♪
♪ Hush little Hoob, and
listen to our lullaby ♪
♪ Oh, la la la la lullaby ♪
♪ Close your little Hooby eye ♪
♪ We'll rock you

(snoring)
- What's that?
(Groove snoring)
- Aha!
(Hooby-pod bounces)
- What did I tell
you? Groove makes
funny grunting noises
when he's asleep.
No wonder I couldn't sleep.
- Groove, wake up.
- [TV] Roma!
- Oh no, here's
Roma. Groove wake up,
it's Roma's report. Maybe
she's found the answer.
- Answer? What answer?
- Hooble-doop, Hoobs!
- Hooble-doop, Roma!
- I'm reporting today
from a tiddly-peep's
bedroom, and I believe
I found exactly what
we need to help
Iver go to sleep.
- What is it?
- It's this.
- What? A book?
- Yes, but this
isn't just any book.
This book is filled
with Hoobacious stories
that send tiddly-peeps to sleep.
They're called bedtime stories.
There are hoob-loads of
different stories in here,
but this one's my
favorite. It's called
Sleeping Beauty. Should
I read it to you?
- Yes please, Roma!
- Are you sitting comfortably?
Then I'll begin.
- Once upon a time,
a king and queen
had a beautiful
baby (yawns) girl.
They had been longing
for a baby, but they were
very, very happy.
- Oh, that story
sounds really exciting.
What do you think
happened to that
beautiful baby girl?
Oh no. Everyone's asleep!
Groove?
Tula?
Oh, it's no good.
Maybe Hubba Hubba
will be able to tell
me what happened
to that beautiful baby girl.
- [TV] Hubba! Hubba!
- Hooble-doo, Iver! I
see you're still awake.
- Yes, and I want to
know what happens to
the beautiful baby girl
in the tiddly-peep's
bedtime story.
- Well, why don't you
tell me the story,
and I'll see if I
know how it ends?
- Um, it goes like this.
Once upon a time,
a king and a queen
gave birth to a
beautiful baby girl.
They've been longing for a baby,
and well, they were very happy.
What happens after that?
(Hubba Hubba snoring)
I don't believe this!
Come on, you lot!
Wake up!
- Oh I'm sorry, I don't
know what happened there.
Large lunch. You
know, late night.
Well, I never.
- I'd say that's a
Hoobelly groobelly story,
Hubba Hubba. Certain
made me fall asleep.
- Yes, but not me! I
was the only one still
awake while you all grunted and
hooba-hooba-hooba'd
and... whistled.
- Whistled?
- Yes, Hubba Hubba.
You whistle while
you're asleep!
- Do I? Well, I'm
surprised no one has
ever told me. Well
perhaps you might take
another trip to
the tiddly-peeps.
- Hm.
- What do you think?
- I don't think we've
got much choice.
It's almost time
for Hoob News and
we still don't know how to make
me go to sleep!
Come on Tula, let's get
those Motorettes singing!
- Oh, yes!

- Hooble-doop, tiddly-peep.
Tiddly-peep, wake up.
Sorry to wake you,
tiddly-peep. I've tried
everything to get
to sleep, but it
just isn't working!
- Have you tried
cuddling something?
- Cuddling? Cuddling?
- Does cuddling help?
- Hooby-groovy
- Yes. Can I cuddle you, Iver?
- Of course you can!
Oh! That's really Hoobacious.
But what can I cuddle
to help me get to sleep?
- You need to cuddle
something really cuddly.
- So what's the most cuddly
thing you can think of?
- (gasps) My teddy bear!
- Hooby-galooby! Look, Groove!
- Shh.
- Oh sorry. Look,
Groove! A teddy bear.
Do you think it'll really work?
- Yes, there's nothing
more cuddly than
a teddy bear.
- Oh yes. Hoobacious.
Then cuddling a
teddy bear's bound
to get me to sleep.
Thank you so much, tiddly-peep!
I'm gonna go back
to the bus right now
and cuddle Groove's teddy bear!
Hooble-toodle-doo!
- Hooble-toodle-doo.
(soothing music)
- Where's the teddly?
- Right here. I had
it in my collection
of soft and furry
things all along.
- Hm. I feel sleepy already.
- Well, you can't
sleep now. It's time
for Hoob news! Come on.

- Well now, Hoobs. Are
you ready to give me
what you got for
helping Iver sleep for
my great Hoobapedia?
- We're ready, Hubba Hubba.
Hooble-doop-woop to all
you Hoobs out there!
Welcome to Hoob
News. The new show
for Hoobs everwhere.
I'm Iver-
- I'm Tula-
- And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question:
- What can we do to
make Iver go to sleep?
- [Tula] We've decided
we have to make Iver
tired, so Hubba Hubba
searched Hoobnet
and found us lots
of ways that peeps
make themselves tired.
- [Iver] But none of
them worked for me.
- [Groove] Then we heard
a hooby-groovy about
Katie Kangaroo, and
how she got to sleep
by being rocked.
- [Iver] But it
didn't work for me.
- [Tula] So then,
Iver went to see
the tiddly-peeps,
and they told him
all about songs
called lullabies.
- [Groove] So we sang
a lullaby to Iver.
- [Iver] But it didn't work.
- [Tula] Then Roma told
us about bedtime stories.
- [Iver] But then
she fell asleep.
Everyone fell asleep,
except me.
I went back to the tiddly-peeps,
and this time they told me that
the best way to
go to sleep is to
cuddle something cuddly!
And the cuddliest
thing of all is a teddy bear.
(sighs)
- But we're still
not sure if it'll
make Iver go to sleep.
- Groove!
- What?
- So, as you can see, the
answer to the question
"What can we do to
make Iver go to sleep?"
is give him a teddy to cuddle.
- Ah. 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
Hooble-dooble-duper day
and Hooble-toodle-doo!
