(electronic whirs)

- Hooble-doop 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 Hoobpedia.

Here they come!

(electronic whining sounds)

so what do you say? ♪

♪ Hoobs ♪

- Ah, just what I've

been looking for.

Now then, (crashes) oh!

Mind that. (sniffs)

(silly trumpet music)

(pants)

(crashes) Oh, and that.

What I need is a big flat wall

for this to go up against.

Right then, where's

there a big flat wall?

(crashes)

- Groove? Groove?

(paper rustles)

- What are you doing?

- I'm trying to stick this

piece of paper to a wall.

- Oh, okay.

(paper rustles)

- Oh!

Oh, oh, sorry Tula, you're

not a wall, are you?

- No.

- Oh, where did that

parcel come from?

- A delivery, something

from Hoobnet I think.

- Oh, somebody sent it to us?

- Ah, but who?

♪ Who, who, who ♪

♪ Who, who, who, who, who ♪

♪ Who, who, who ♪

- I know who,

Auntie Hattie Hoob!

- Ah!

- What is it?

- Oh. (giggles)

Oh, it's just a box.

(Groove sighs)

- I'm off to the wall.

(upbeat music)

- Well, it was very kind

of Auntie Hattie Hoob

to send us a box

of (gasps) spots!

- Spots did you say?

Hey, I've got spots all over

the piece of paper, look!

I had it in my

collection of things

that need joining together.

So, I'm going to do just that.

- Well, these are sticky

black spots, Groove.

I don't think we

join these together.

- So, what do we do

with sticky black spots?

- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba hubba,

hubba hubba, hubba hubba.

- It's Hubba Hubba!

We must've to hit on the

question for Hoob News.

- What do we do with

sticky black spots?

That's a hooble-dooble-duper

question Hoobs!

I can hear Hoobs

across the universe

calling for the answer now.

Tell us! Tell us!

What do we do with

sticky black spots?

- Well, Auntie Hattie

Hoob sent us the spots.

Does she know what

to do with them?

- (laughs) Of course not,

that's why she sent them to you.

- Then we'd better

find an answer.

Is there anything about spots

on Hoobnet, Hubba Hubba?

- That's just the question

I was asking myself, Tula.

And the answer is, yes!

Take a look at this.

(electronic whines)

(calm, pleasant music)

Now, here we've got lots of

different spotty material.

Lots of different

color spots on that.

(Tula awes)

And here's a peep in a black

and white spotty frock.

And there's somebody

making the spotty frock.

Red with white spots and

white with red spots.

How hooble-doople-duper!

A spotty sock.

And here's a peep

wrapping something up

in spotty white paper.

- Spotty white paper?

(laughs) Groove?

- (gasps) Did you see that?

- Well, no actually I didn't.

You know, I'm just going

to put this piece of paper

up on my drawing my board.

It's easier than

trying to find a wall.

- Good idea Groove, but

you are going to help us

find the answer?

- (grunts) Yes, as soon as

I've joined up my spots.

- There were so many

things with lovely,

colorful spots all over them.

Let's stick our

spots on something.

- Oh yes!

Ah, how about this?

- What is is?

- Oh that, that's

from my collection

of things that need

brightening up.

- Oh, can we stick

our spots on it?

- Yeah, help yourself,

might brighten it up.

- (gasps) Hoobly-groobly.

- (sighs) That's it,

now I just join them up.

(calm, pleasant music)

- Oh, I'm not sure it looks

any brighter with spots.

- Maybe that's because

the spots are black?

- (hems) You're right.

The ones we saw on Hoobnet

were all sorts of colors.

They brightened

up the peep world.

- But black spots aren't

very bright, are they?

- No, we must be

able to find out

more about spots from somewhere.

- But where?

♪ Where, where, where ♪

♪ Where ♪

- Hubba, hubba, hubba.

I know where Hoobs!

Why don't you go and

ask the Tiddlypeeps?

They know a thing

or two about spots.

- (laughs) Good

idea, Hubba Hubba.

- And while you

go, I'll email Roma

and ask her to see if she

can spot some spots! (laughs)

- C'mon Tula, you can drive.

- Thank you.

- And I'll just carry

on joining my spots.

(upbeat, silly music)

- Seatbelt?

- Seatbelt.

- We're off to see

the Tiddlypeeps.

- Yeah.

- Spots made of chocolate!

(Hoobs cheer)

They look like our

sticky black spots.

What are you doing with them?

- We're using them to decorate

these cakes and biscuits.

You can have these

if you like, Iver.

- [Groove] Oh, yes please!

- Oh, really, that's

so kind of you.

Groove, Tula, look what the

Tiddlypeeps have given us.

Chocolate spots to

put on our hooby-buns.

Thank you so much, Tiddlypeeps.

It's been so nice to meet you.

I best get back to

the Hoobmobile now.

(Iver sniffs)

(bubble pops)

(regal music)

- Did you see that?

The chocolate spots look just

like our sticky black spots

so I'm sure we're

supposed to use

the sticky black

spots for decorating!

- We could decorate

our hooby-buns.

- Oh, hoobacious idea, Tula.

Have a chocolate spot.

- (moans) Hoobly-groobly!

♪ Groove ♪

(Groove smacks)

- [Groove] Hoobalicious.

(Iver hems)

- Now, let's try

decorating our hooby-buns

with the sticky black spots.

(pleasant piano music)

These are going to be

the best hooby-buns ever.

(laughs)

(sad music)

(Hoobs hurl)

(Tula blows raspberry)

- These sticky black

spots are not for eating!

- (spits) That must

mean they're not

for decorating hooby-buns then.

- No, let's use the

chocolate spots instead.

- Oh, yes.

♪ Oh, Groove ♪

- Groove, you ate them all!

- Did I, all of them?

Oh, I'm sorry Iver.

- (sighs) It doesn't matter.

We know what to do

with chocolate spots.

But we still don't

know what to do

with these sticky black spots.

- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba hubba,

hubba hubba, hubba hubba.

(electronic whirs)

- It's Hubba Hubba.

- Don't despair, Hoobs.

I found a story that might tell

you a bit more about spots.

Spots seems to pop up

all over the peep planet

in all sorts of ways.

Have a look at this.

(electronic whirs)

(chiming music)

- [Narrator] Doris

and Daisy were sisters

and they looked

exactly the same.

They hated looking

exactly the same.

(children grunt)

"I don't want to look

like Daisy" said Doris.

"I don't want to look

like Doris" said Daisy.

(balloon farts)

(slide whistles blows)

One morning, Daisy

woke up to find

that she was covered in spots.

Big, red, itchy spots.

Her mother took her off

to visit the doctor.

"You've got chicken pox, Daisy."

"You must stay in

bed for a few days."

"But I don't like these

spots," wailed Daisy.

"I want to look like Doris."

(child giggles)

"Don't worry," said the doctor.

"Everybody gets chicken

pox at some time."

The days passed

slowly and everyday

Daisy would cry, "I want

to look like Doris!"

Then one morning,

Daisy woke up to find

that her chicken pox

spots had disappeared.

"Doris, Doris, I look like

you again," she cried.

Doris poked her head out

from under the covers.

And guess what?

She was covered in spots.

(Hoobs laugh)

Doris wept and wailed,

"It's not fair."

"I want to look like Daisy."

And Daisy cried, "And I

want to look like Doris."

After a few days, Doris's

spots disappeared.

Doris and Daisy were

both very happy.

"I look just like

you," said Daisy.

"And I look just like

you," said Doris.

And they never complained

about looking the same again.

(children laugh)

(Tula laughs)

(Hoobs sigh)

- (gasps) Maybe you're

supposed to stick

the sticky black

spots all over you

to pretend you've

got the chicken pox?

- Pretend you've

got the chicken pox?

- Why?

♪ Why, why, why ♪

♪ Why ♪

- I don't know why, Groove.

And you're not helping

to answer the question.

You're too busy

joining your spots up.

- Well, that's

what spots are for.

- That's what your

sport are for, Groove.

But the question is, what are

our sticky black spots for?

- Well, I don't think

they have anything to do

with chicken pox, chicken pox

spots were red, not black.

- And they were itchy

and our sticky black

spots aren't itchy.

What are we supposed

to do with them?

- [Roma] Roma, roma, roma, roma.

- It's Roma, maybe she'll know.

(electronic whirs)

- Hooble-doop, Roma.

- Hooble-doop, Roma.

- Hooble-doop, Tula, Iver.

Can you see me?

I'm here!

- We see you Roma.

- Good, because I

found some spots

here in the African

bush on this leopard.

As you can see, a leopard

is a big cat with spots.

But let me tell you, it

wasn't easy to find him

because his spots help him hide.

- The leopard's

spots help him hide?

- That's right,

hoobacious, isn't it?

The spots look a

bit like leaves.

That means the leopard

can hide in the bushes

or in the trees,

he just blends in.

- Hooby-galooby, spots

can help you hide.

- And the spots I'm wearing

are helping me hide.

If you think I want

that leopard to spot me

(laughs) you're wrong.

Leopards are dangerous,

but my spots are so good

he has no idea I'm here, watch.

Koo-wee Mr. Leopard,

can't see me.

This is Roma Hoob reporting

from a spotty hiding place.

(leopard roars)

(screams) In the African bush!

(electronic whirs)

(Hoobs giggle)

- (gasps) Hooby-galooby,

maybe we're supposed

to use the sticky black

spots to help us hide

like a leopard does.

- Oh, let's try it.

(giggles)

Groove, you'll have to

see if you can find us.

- Alright, but do you

really think it'll work?

(fun, upbeat music)

(Iver giggles)

- Well, we'll see.

How can we test it out?

- (sighs) Well, that

didn't work did it?

- No, spots hid the

leopard, but not us.

- That's because the

Hoobmobile isn't spotty.

If the Hoobmobile were

covered in black spots

then you're sticky black

spots would help you hide.

But it isn't, so they don't.

- You're right, the leopard

spots looked like leaves.

So he could hide in leaves.

- And our black spots

look like black spots.

There aren't enough black spots

to hide in in the Hoobmobile.

- Hubba hubba, hubba

hubba, hubba hubba.

(electronic whirs)

Hooble-doo Poobs,

how are you doing?

- We still don't know

what we're supposed

black spots for.

- Do you have any more

ideas, Hubba Hubba?

- No, but I know who might.

- The Tiddlypeeps!

- I'll take my spots off, Iver.

Can you drive?

- (giggles) Yes.

Now seeing as you Tiddlypeeps

are so very clever,

we thought you might be able

to help us with something.

It's just, we've got all

these sticky black spots

back in the Hoobmobile

and we don't know

what to do with them.

We tried all sorts of things,

but nothing seems quite right.

So, we thought we'd

come and ask you.

(dog barks)

- Hello, Mason.

- Hello, Spots.

- (awes) Oh, so he's named Spot!

Hooby-galooby, did

you hear that Iver?

Groove, Mason's got

a dog named Spot.

- Spot, yes.

- Guess what, he's got

black spots all over him.

- They're called Dalmatians

and they have black spots

all over their fur.

- You're dog is

so hoobly-groobly.

Oh, Iver, Groove, I wish

we had a spotty dog.

That's it, we need to get a dog.

Oh, thank you so

(electronic whirs)

Well then spotty Hoobs,

(Hoobs giggle)

are you ready with your

news for my Hoobapedia?

- We're ready Hubba Hubba!

- Then take it away.

(upbeat drum music)

- Hooble-doop woop to all

of 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.

- What do we do with

sticky black spots?

- Hubba Hubba searched Hoobnet

and showed us how peeps

love to decorate things

with spots to brighten them up.

- [Iver] So we stuck

our spots on something

from Groove's collection of

things that need brightening up

but it didn't look any brighter.

- [Tula] That's because

our spots were black

and you can't brighten

things up with black spots.

- [Groove] Then I had

a Hooby-groovy idea.

I decided to join my spots.

- And I went to visit

the Tiddlypeeps.

The Tiddlypeeps had

chocolate spots.

They looked just like

our sticky black spots.

They used them for

decorating cakes.

They gave me some

chocolate spots

to take back to the Hoobmobile.

- [Groove] But I accidentally

ate them all. (chuckles)

- [Tula] We discovered

that we couldn't use

our sticky black spots

to decorate hooby-buns

because sticky black spots

aren't made for eating.

- [Iver] Then we found out

about spots called chicken pox.

Tiddlypeeps sometimes get

them when they're sick.

We wondered if we were supposed

to use our sticky black spots

to pretend we have chicken pox.

- [Tula] But chicken

pots are red and itchy.

- And who wants to

pretend you're sick?

- [Iver] Then Roma told us

about how a leopard's spots

help him hide in

bushes and trees.

- We thought our spots

would help us hide

but they didn't.

Then, I met a Dalmatian

dog called Spot

and guess what, he was

covered in black spots!

- We needed a dog but we'd

never thought we'd find one

in time for Hoob News.

- [Groove] But then I finished

joining my spots together

and it was a dog!

- We put our sticky

black spots all over it.

- And now we have

a dog called Spot.

- Spot the Dalmatian dog.

- Oh, I can't wait to

tell Auntie Hattie.

She's bound to want a

Dalmatian too. (laughs)

So it's thanks once again

to Iver, Tula, Groove,

Hoobs everywhere

a little peep into

the world of peeps.

you're spotty or not,
