- Iver!
Please, could you stop counting
all the questions we've
done for Hoob News!
- Sorry, Tula.
- I can't think what to
make out of my HoobyDough
while you're counting.
- Sorry, Tula.
We must think up a new
question for today's HoobNews.
(laughing)
- Wonder what
Groove's laughing at?
- I think we're
about to find out.
(laughing)
- Oh come on, Groove.
We know you're
laughing at something.
- Yes.
But what?
- [Timp, Toodle, And
Twang] ♪ What, what, what?
♪ What? ♪
- Here's what:
the HoobleDangler!
- Oh no!
(laughing and squealing
as upbeat music plays)
Stop it!
Stop it right now!
Right now!
- Okay.
A HoobleDangler makes a
Hoob laugh every time.
- It certainly does,
Groove, but I know something
else that makes a Hoob laugh.
- So do I: Tiddly Peeps!
- Yeah, that's right!
Tiddly Peeps make Hoobs
laugh more than anything
in the whole universe!
(laughing)
- Oh, wow.
Imagine if we could
have some Tiddly Peeps
here with us in the HoobMobile.
(laughing)
We'd never stop laughing!
- Yes, but Tiddly Peeps
don't sleep in HoobyPods.
And they don't eat HoobyFood.
And they already have homes.
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah, if they lived with
us, their mums and dads
would miss them very much.
- Oh, yes.
Yes, that's true.
Well maybe there's
something else
that's as much fun
as a Tiddly Peep
that we could have
in the HoobMobile.
- Hey!
What could we have
in the HoobMobile
instead of a real Tiddly Peep?
(The word "Hubba" echoing)
- What could we have
in the HoobMobile
instead of a real Tiddly Peep?
That's such a fantabby
Hooby question!
(laughing)
- Perfect for today's
HoobNews, don't you think?
- I do!
And it will be a great
addition to my HoobOpaedia.
Now, I'll email Roma to
see what she can find out.
- Is there anything on HoobNet
we can see to get started?
- Well, I'd be very
surprised if there wasn't.
Ah, yes.
Now, see what conclusions
you can draw from this.
Here we are!
Oh, it's a drawing!
(laughing)
Lots of photographs and
pictures of Tiddly Peeps.
Oh, there's another picture!
(laughing)
They do look happy!
Awe, isn't that sweet?
- That's it!
If we can't have a
real Tiddly Peep,
we could have some pictures
of Tiddly Peeps here
with us in the HoobMobile!
- Of course we could!
And I'm going to draw a picture
of a Tiddly Peep right now.
- Hoobacious!
- Groovy, yeah!
- So, I'll start by drawing
the Tiddly Peep's head.
- Oh.
(upbeat music)
- Tiddly Peep's heads are
rounder than that, Tula.
- Yeah, yeah, and
don't forget the ears.
- I know.
- And hair!
Make sure you do lots
of Tiddly Peep hair!
- I can draw, you know.
- Yes, but you must
understand if you're-
- Look, here.
How 'bout you both draw
your own Tiddly Peeps?
- Oh, that's a great idea!
- Now, where was I?
- Right, I think it's-
- Ta-da!
- What?
- I finished.
- That's good, Tula.
- I'm going to pin it up.
- Pin it up, yes!
- There.
I think that should do.
Take a look at this, everyone!
Right!
This is drawn by yours truly.
- Yes!
Have you finished yet, Groove?
- No, no, no.
- I like that.
- There we go.
You know, I think this is
probably my best picture ever.
- [Iver] Let me see.
(laughing)
- [Groove] Gonna put mine up.
- Howow, these pictures
of Tiddly Peeps
are great and everything-
- Well they remind me
of real Tiddly Peeps.
- Yeah, but they're flat.
- Yes.
And Tiddly Peep's are not flat.
- [Iver And Groove] No.
- What else could we have
in the HoobMobile
like a Tiddly Peep?
(The word "Roma" echoing)
- Oh!
Maybe Roma will know!
- Hoobledupoops!
- [Iver, Tula, And
Groove] Hoobledoo, Roma!
- Today, I'm reporting
from a Town Square.
- Roma, what's that
thing behind you?
- Ah, now I'm glad you
asked me that, Groove.
This is what Peeps
call a statue.
They make them out of
stone or metal to look
just like famous Peeps.
- Well what are they for, Roma?
- Well Iver, it'll make
sure that Peeps don't forget
about someone who's done
something really brave
or really clever in the past.
It's a great honor to have a
statue made of you, you know?
- Who's that one of then, Roma?
- Well Groove, I'm
not absolutely sure.
In fact, some statues, because
they're so fantabyhooby
to look at, become even
more famous than the Peep
they were made to look like.
There's the Statue of Liberty
in New York, in America,
which looks like this.
(laughing)
And there's one called The
Thinker, which is a statue
of a Peep having a
HoobyThink, like this.
(making thinking noise)
- What's he thinking
about, Roma?
- Well, I'm not sure, Tula.
But it's made me think,
"I wonder if anyone
will ever make a statue of me."
Ha!
This is Roma Hoob
feeling statuesque.
And reporting for
HoobNews, hoobledoodledoo!
- [Iver, Groove, And
Tula] Hoodletoodledoo!
- Hoobygallooby!
Statues aren't flat, are they?
What if we had a statue of a
Tiddly Peep in the HoobMobile?
- Hm, we've got to get one.
But how?
- [Timp, Toodle, And
Twang] ♪ How, how, how
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how, how ♪
- [Twang] ♪ How ♪

(the word "Hubba" echoing)
- Ahem, Hoobs, I know how!
[All] Hoobledo, Hubba Hubba!
- Look at what I have made!
Though it's, I did do
it in my spare time,
it's not terribly good though,
and I wouldn't be surprised
if you didn't like it.
- No!
- Like it?
We love it!
- [Groove] Yeah!
- I was just wondering what
to make out of my HoobyDough.
And now I know!
(light music)
Perfect.
Please, can you
hold up your statue
so I can copy it, Hubba Hubba?
- Oh, yes.
I think you'll find the
knees particularly difficult.
And you can put shoes on
yours instead of slippers.
I just happen to like slippers.
- Hurry, Tula!
- Be patient, Iver.
It will be ready soon.
- Yes, but when?
- [Timp] ♪ When, oh when? ♪

Ta-da!
(gasping and giggling)
What'd you think?
- Oh fantabbyhooby!
- It's hoobacious!
- Yeah, and it's not flat!
- But it doesn't do
anything, does it?
It doesn't move about.
- I could move it about.
- No, Groove!
It's made of HoobyDough, you'd
squish it if you touched it.
- But Tiddly Peeps move
about a lot, don't they?
No, I'm sorry, Tula.
I don't think I want a statue
instead of a real Tiddly Peep.
[Tula And Groove]
Nah, me neither.
- Well, I can't say I blame you.
Maybe you should go and
visit some Tiddly Peeps.
They might have a better idea.
- Tiddly Peeps!
Of course!
Let's get those
Motorettes singing!
- Yeah, I'll drive!
- Maybe you would look
better in slippers.
- Seatbelts.
- [Both] We're off to
see the Tiddly Peeps.

- Tristan and Tamara.
These dolls you're playing with,
they look like
tiny Tiddly Peeps!
(laughing)
- I suppose they are.
- Will you show me how
you play with them?
- There's so many ways you
can play with dolls, Iver.
You can pretend and
do whatever you want.
- Yeah, like having
fun meeting new people.
- Or having adventure
exploring in some wild place.
- Wow.
- I see.
- Or finding treasure!
- Yeah!
- Or running away
from a monster.
- Oh, oh dear!
- Or anything, you
just make up a story,
and then you make your doll
act out the story for you.
- All you need to do is
use your imagination.
- Hoobygallooby!
Dolls sound hoobacious!
Groove, can you check to
see if you've got a doll
in one of your
collections, please?
- Yeah.
- Thank you Tiddly Peeps, I'm
going back to the HoobMobile.
I've got to see if
Groove's found a doll.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- [Children] Hoobletoodledoo!
- Ha-ha!
(light, fun music)
(laughing)
- Found it!
- Oh, that is hoobally groobaly!
- Yeah.
- Where was it, Groove?
- It was right at
the very bottom of my
Things That Remind Me of Me,
But I Don't Know Why collection.
- Oh, hoobacious doll!
Do you know, that looks a
bit more like a Tiddly Peep
than that statue.
- Oh look, and he's
got your hair, Groove.
- Yeah, and he's got a
little nose, little eyes,
and a little mouth.
(laughing)
- I think I could make that
move without squishing it.
Thank you!
Follow me.
- Following you.
(laughing)
(spunky music)
- Watch this.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
(laughing)
But your HoobyPaws are so big,
we can hardly see the doll.
- Oh.
Well that's true, yes.
But if I don't use my
HoobyPaws, he won't move.
I wonder if there's a way
of making the doll move
without using my HoobyPaws.
(the word "Hubba" echoing)
- That's a very good
thing to wonder, Iver.
And I am happy to report
that a Tiddly Peep sent me
something which might help.
Stand by for a story!
(wobbling)
- [Tiddly Peep Narrator]
Once upon a time,
there was a little wooden
string puppet called Mario.
He had been made by a
puppet maker called Antonio.
(laughing)
Antonio made all
sorts of puppets.
But Mario was
definitely his favorite.
Antonio would use Mario
to perform little stories
to all the local children.
One day, he and Mario
were telling a story
when one of the children asked,
- Is Mario your own
little boy, Antonio?
(laughing)
- [Tiddly Peep Narrator]
"No," Antonio replied,
"Mario is only a string puppet.
He's not a real boy."
But this got Antonio thinking.
How he'd love Mario
to be a real boy.
That night, when Antonio
was putting Mario away
in his box, he made a wish.
"I wish that Mario
were my own real son."
The next morning,
he woke to find
Mario's box empty.
"Who could have taken Mario?"
Then he heard a little
voice call out his name.
"Antonio!"
He turned around to find
Mario standing there.
He was no longer made of wood,
he no longer had strings.
He was a real boy.
"Oh, Mario!" said Antonio.
"What's happened to you?"
"I've become a real
boy!" replied Mario.
"I'm your son, and
you're my papa!"
Antonio was the happiest
old man in the world.
He and Mario carried on
telling stories together,
especially the story about
how Mario became a real boy.
(wobbling)
- Oh, that was such a
hoobally groobally story.
- Yeah, a puppet that
became a Tiddly Peep, eh?
That was so hooby groovy.
- Yes, oh, but while it was a
puppet, it moved with strings.
I wonder what it would feel
like to move with strings.

- No, it's no good
having something too
hard to HoobleDigg.
(the word "Hubba" echoing)
- HoobleDoo, Hoobs.
Do you know I
couldn't agree more.
It's no good if it's
too hard to HoobleDigg.
- We still don't
have the answer,
and it's about
time for HoobNews.
- Well I just got word there
are some Tiddly Peeps nearby.
Why don't you find them
and ask them to help?
- Good idea, Hubba Hubba.
I'll drive until we find them.
- Yeah, and I'll talk to them.

- [Both] Hoobledoo, Iver!
- Oh hello, Connie.
- Hello, Inez.
Inez, what are you doing?
- We're making puppets, Iver.
- Oh, Groove made
a puppet earlier.
But it had strings and
was made out of wood.
Yours don't look the same.
- No, we're making
glove puppets, Iver.
It's a different kind of puppet.
- Yes, we made them out of
old gloves, big soft material,
and painter things.
- Glove puppets?
- So how do you make them work?
- Look, you put your
hand in them like this,
and you can make them move
with your fingers, like this.
You can make them
talk, like this.
- [Both] Hoobledoo, Iver.
(laughing)
- Hooby gallooby!
That is hoobacious!
- It is, isn't it?
- Look, look, look.
That one even looks
like a Tiddly Peep.
Hoobledoo, little Tiddly Peep!
- Hoobledoop, Iver!
I'm not a Tiddly Peep,
I'm a glove puppet.
(laughing)
But I do have a
Tiddly Peep voice.
- That's a funny voice.
- Oh yes, so what's it
like being a puppet?
- It's great, thanks.
I can do whatever I like.
- Oh!
(laughing)
Hooby gallooby!
Groove, Tula, start making
some glove puppets,
they're hoobacious!
- [Tula] Yes!
- [Groove] They are.
- Thanks so much, Tiddly Peeps.
You've been hoobloads of help.
I'm gonna go back to
the HoobMobile now
and make myself a glove puppet.
Oh, hoobletoodledoo.

Are you ready to give me your
HoobNews for my HoobOpaedia?
- [All] We're ready!
- Well then, take it away!
- Hoobledoop Whoop to
all you Hoobs out there.
Welcome to HoobNews, the news
show for Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm Groove.
And I'm Leonard!
(laughing)
- And today we've been
asking the question-
- What can we have in the
HoobMobile instead of a
real Tiddly Peep?
- [Tula] First, Hubba Hubba
shows a lot of pictures
of Tiddly Peeps.
- [Iver] We thought
they were so great,
we drew our own pictures.
- [Groove] But they were flat.
- [Tula] And Tiddly
Peeps are not flat.
- [Iver And Groove] No.
- [Iver] Next, Roma told
us all about statues.
And Hubba Hubba made a
great Tiddly Peep statue.
- [Tula] I copied it
out of my HoobyDough
so we could have one
in the HoobMobile.
It wasn't flat, but it
couldn't move about.
- [Groove] Yeah, and Tiddly
Peeps move about all the time.
- [Tula] Then some
Tiddly Peeps showed us
how they play with dolls.
- [Groove] And I found
a doll in my collection.
- [Iver] But when I
tried to make it move
like a Tiddly Peep, my
HoobyPaws got in the way.
- [Groove] Then, Hubba
Hubba showed us a story
about a string
puppet called Mario.
- [Iver] Groove put strings on
his doll, it was hoobacious!
- [Tula] But it was too hard
to give a HoobleDigga to.
It hurt my nose.
- [Iver] So then we asked
some more Tiddly Peeps
if they had any more ideas.
- [All] Glove puppets!
Hoob, Hoob, hooray!
- Look, say hello to all
the Hoobs, glove puppets!
- [All] Hello, Hoobs!
(laughing)
- They're the next best
thing to Tiddly Peeps.
- We certainly are!
(laughing)
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
hoobletoodledoo!
- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
(laughing)
- Well, I think that
HoobNews went really well.
What do you think?
- Completely and
utterly totally hooby.
- Hoobally groobally, we
glove puppets saved the day!
- [All] Yay!
