(otherworldly music)

- 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 Hoobopaedia.

Here they come!

♪ Hoobs ♪

(playful music)

- Mm, my lovely little

Hoobigroovy Hoobicookies.

Which one of you

wants to be the first?

"Me, me, I do groove, pick me!"

- Ugh, Hoobledoop, Groove.

- Hoobledoop, Iver.

- Who are you talking to?

- My Hoobicookies.

- But why?

- 'Cause I felt

like it, that's why.

- Well, in that case,

ask them if they know

a question for

today's Hoob News.

- Okay, hey Hoobicookies,

do you know any

questions for Hoob News?

"No Groove, just

eat us, eat us."

Okay.

- We're only allowed one

Hoobicookie a day, remember?

- Yeah, yeah, Iver.

You're a bit puffy, puffy.

- I know, I was playing

with some Tiddlypeeps,

that's why.

- All right.

- They move so fast.

- Yeah.

- How many Hoobicookies

is that, Groove?

Too many Hoobicookies will rot

your Twizzeltuft, you know.

- They're not good

for you, Groove.

I've noticed your

tummy getting bigger.

- Really?

Where exactly?

I can't see...

Oh, oh, yes, actually, yeah.

- I'm not as fit as

I should be, either.

In fact, we've all

got a bit lazy,

since we've been driving

about in the Hoobmobile.

- You're right, Iver.

You know what we need to do?

Exercise.

- Eh, eh, eh, eh.

Yes, Groove, especially you.

- Hm, wouldn't it

be Hoobley groobley

to find some exercise that

we could all do together.

- I know, we could do

some Tiddlypeep exercise.

It works for them.

- Yes!

But, what type of Tiddlypeep

exercise would Hoobs like best?

- [Distant Voice] Hubba,

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, Hubba

- You've hit the question, Tula.

- What type of Tiddlypeep

exercise would Hoobs like best?

That's a Hoobledoobleduper

question Hoob News.

- [All Hoobs]

Hoob, Hoob, hooray.

- Yeah, hooray.

- I can see it now.

Every Hoob across the universe,

doing their exercises

together, and getting fit,

and I shall be the

first to join you.

- That's Hoobacious,

Hubba Hubba.

- I'll email Roma at once.

I'm sure she'll want to get fit.

Now, do we have anything

here on Hoobnet?

What's Hoobledoobleduper fun?

Now, I must find

my Hoobiheadband

that I used to wear

in Hoobercise class.

- Um, Hubba Hubba?

- Yes?

- Hoobnet?

- Oh, so sorry.

I got distracted.

- There you go.

(otherworldly music)

Lots of peeps running

on machines, there.

Oh, look, I must remember

my Hoobiheadband, you see.

Look at those peeps

lifting that heavy weight.

Makes you very hot,

this exercising.

See, more lifting.

More getting hot.

You see, look.

Push, and down.

Yes, lifting weights seems to

be the answer, here, Hoobs.

(otherworldly music)

- Oh.

- That's what we should do.

We should lift some weights.

- How about lifting

a couple of these?

(Groove laughs)

"Ow! Ow!

"Put me down and eat me!"

(Groove laughs)

- Groove!

Right, we need something

to lift, but what?

♪ What, what, what, what ♪

♪ What ♪

- I know what.

We could lift

Groove's collection of

really heavy things.

- Oh, yes, yes.

- It's in his clutter cabinet.

- Well, let's go.

- Have I got time to

get my Hoobiheadband?

- I don't know.

- Oh, keep up, Iver, keep up.

- I'm trying to.

(Tula squeals)

- Perfect, and we

can do it together.

- Ready?

- Oh, yes.

(Iver clears throat)

(all Hoobs grunt)

- Oh, Groove, what

have you got in here?

- Oh, rocks, bricks,

large bits of metal

shaped like dogs.

(Tula grunts)

- Oh, help us, Groove.

We're supposed to be doing

this together, remember?

- Oh, right, yeah, sorry.

(Groove clears throat)

(all Hoobs grunt)

- Oh, this is hopeless.

Oh, lifting weights is too hard.

- I think I'm gonna

rename this collection

things that are so heavy,

they're impossible to lift.

- Oh, dear.

- Yeah, I bet there isn't

another Hoob in the universe

with a collection

called that. (laughs)

- Anyway, Tiddlypeeps really

don't do weight lifting.

It's more a peep exercise.

- [Distant Voice]

Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma

- Oh, good, it's Roma.

- Maybe she's discovered

a Tiddlypeep exercise

for us to do.

- (groans) An easy one, please.

(Iver laughs)

- [All Hoobs] Hobbledoop, Roma.

- Oh, Hoobledoop, Hoobs.

It's Roma, here.

- Why are you jumping

up and down, Roma?

- I'm skipping, like these

Tiddlypeeps behind me.

It's a great way to exercise.

- But the Tiddlypeeps

are using ropes, Roma.

- Yes, I know.

I couldn't find a

rope for myself,

but I'm sure it's just as good

to skip without a

rope, if not better.

Peeps and Tiddlypeeps

love skipping,

because it keeps you

really fit, it's great fun,

and it makes your

muscles stronger.

Big Roma!

(Hoobs laugh)

- It looks just like the sort

of exercise Hoobs would love!

- All you need is two friends.

They hold either end of

the rope and turn it,

while you skip in the middle.

It's fantabihoobi.

(Roma pants)

This is Roma Hoob.

Oh, you know the rest.

(Roma sighs)

(Roma plops down)

(Hoobs laugh)

- Skipping, wow.

I really want to try that.

- We need a rope, though.

Roma said she thought it

would be easier with a rope.

- Yeah, especially

if you're the one

holding one of the ends.

(Iver laughs)

(Iver gasps)

- We could use the Hoobirope.

- Yeah, I'll go and get it.

- Can I go first?

Can I, can I, can I?

- Be my guest.

- Skippity, skippity.

Oh, I'm going to

be so good at this.

♪ Yeah, yeah. ♪

- Ooh, cookies, mm.

(Groove chews)

- Have you found it, Groove.

- Oh, yes, yes, yes.

- Oh, good, good, good.

Oh, dear.

Now all we have to do

is find the other end.

(Iver laughs)

- Yeah.

- Hurry up, I'm ready

to practice my skipping.

Skippity, skippity, skippity.

I want to be the

Hoobiskipping champion

of the entire universe.

Hoobs will come from light

years around to see me skip.

Oh, skipping has got to be

(Iver grunts)

- Don't pull me, I'm

getting rope burn.

(Iver grunts)

- But it isn't the right

sort of exercise for Hoobs.

(Iver sighs)

- Now she tells us.

- I mean, if two Hoobs

just turn the rope,

while one Hoob

skips, then we're not

doing the exercise

all together, are we?

- Yes, we need something

we can all do together.

But what?

- [Distant Voice] Hubba,

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.

- I have no idea, what, Hoobs,

but I found my Hoobiheadband,

so I'm ready to join in.

- Try tangling yourself

up in a Hoobirope,

and then untangling

yourself, Hubba Hubba.

It's enough exercise for a week.

- Yes, well I think

you'd better go

and find some Tiddlypeeps,

and ask them for some ideas.

Oh, dear. Oh!

(Hoobs laugh)

- So do I, Hubba Hubba.

I'll go.

- I'll drive.

- Yeah.

(playful music)

- I'll have a Hoobicookie.

- Mm-hmm?

- Ah?

- Oh, did I say Hoobiecookie?

I meant think.

Hoobiethink, yeah.

- Seatbelt.

- Mm-hmm.

(Iver pops up)

(children chatter)

- Wow, look at those

Tiddlypeeps go.

(skate wheels roll)

- [Both Children] Hi, Iver.

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps.

What are your names?

- I'm Elise.

- And I'm Molly.

- Those are Hoobacious

shoes you're wearing, Molly.

They've got wheels on them.

- They're not

really shoes, Iver.

They're called roller skates.

- Roller skates, oh.

Do they help you get fit?

- Yes, Iver.

Roller skating is

really good exercise.

Watch.

You push off.

You get going like this.

- And I can do this.

- Hoobigalooby,

that is Hoobacious.

Groove, order some roller skates

from Hoobnet, straight away.

- Right away.

- You Tiddlypeeps are so

good at roller skating.

Is it hard to do?

- It takes a bit of practice,

but it's not too difficult.

- I can't wait to try.

Thanks so much, Tiddlypeeps.

I think roller skating

could be the perfect

exercise for Hoobs.

- Yes.

- Hoobletoodledoo.

- [Elise and Molly]

Hoobletoodledoo.

(whimsical music)

- Groove, hurry up

with those skates.

- Have the roller

skates arrived, yet?

(Groove yells)

(Groove crashes)

- So, they have.

- [Groove] Ooh.

- Ouch.

- Oops, ooh.

- Help Groove.

- Tula, quick, help him up.

- Are you okay?

(Groove grunts)

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Once I get the hang of it,

Whoa!

I'll be fine.

Yeah, I'll be able to get

fit with no effort at all.

I just need a

push-off, that's all.

(skate wheels roll)

- Well, we'll do that for you.

Ready?

- Yep, yep.

- [Tula and Iver]

One, two, three.

- Whoa!

(Groove crashes)

- Ooh. Ouch.

- Perhaps roller skating

isn't such a good idea.

- It's too dangerous to

do inside the Hoobmobile.

(Groove grunts)

- Did you say dangerous?

It's far too dangerous.

I fell in my collection

of sticks and twigs.

- [Distant Voice] Hubba,

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.

- I'm all ready to do

our exercises, Hoobs.

Can't wait, in fact.

- Well there's a spare pair

of roller skates, here,

if you're interested,

Hubba Hubba.

- (laughs) I think I'm a bit too

long in the Twizzletuft

for roller skating.

Oh, I say, Groove, did you know

you had a bird's

nest on your head?

- What?

Oh, no, I didn't

Hoobigroovy, eh?

- It certainly is, and

so is this story I found.

Take a look.

(relaxed music)

- [Child] Bat and Ball

were best friends,

but for weeks, they had

been stuck in a cupboard,

and were really, really bored.

(Bat and Ball yawn)

"I'm bored," said Bat to Ball,

"It's been ages

since I hit you."

"Me, too," said Ball,

"If I don't get hit

through the air soon,

"I'm going to get very down.

"When will the children

remember that we're here?"

Suddenly, they heard

excited childrens' voices.

The cupboard door was opened,

and little hands grabbed them.

(children laugh)

- [Bat and Ball]

They remembered us.

It's time for fun.

- [Child] The children ran

outside into the garden.

Bat knew what was

going to happen.

- Hey, Ball, looks like

we're going to play Rounders.

- Rounders.

- Rounders.

- Rounders.

- [Child] They both

giggled with glee,

as the children

took their places.

- [Ball] Yay!

- [Child] Bat, who was

in the batter's hands,

was all set.

- I'm going to hit

you so hard, Ball.

You'll never forget it.

- [Child] Ball, who was in

the bowler's hands, replied,

"Hit me, hard.

"Hit me high.

"Hit me right up in the sky."

The bowler drew back his hand,

and threw Ball through the air.

- "Here I come, ready

or not," shouted ball.

The batter swung her arms.

- I'm ready.

- [Child] And thwack!

Bat hit Ball, sending him

flying through the air.

- Yahoo!

- [Child] The batter

ran around the bases,

as a fielder ran after

the ball, and threw him

back to the bowler.

- Ooh.

- [Child] Bat and

Ball both shouted,

"Again, again, again!"

So, when you get your bat

and ball out of the cupboard,

after shutting them

up for a long time,

be prepared for them to

be very excited, indeed.

(otherworldly music)

- Rounders.

Now, that sounds Hoobacious fun.

- And it's something

we can all do together.

Haven't you got a bat and ball

in one of your

collections, Groove?

- I certainly have, Tula Hoob.

- I think we should play

it on the Hoobiroof garden.

- Oh, so do I, Tula.

Come on, Groove, come on.

- Here's a bat for you, Iver,

and a ball for you, Tula.

- Thank you.

To the roof garden!

(Groove yawns)

- All this skating

has made me sleepy.

(Groove sighs)

(intriguing music)

- And hungry.

- [Iver and Tula] Groove!

- All right, I'm coming.

- Okay, I'll bat,

and Tula, you bowl.

- (laughs) Hoobley groobley.

- Ah, Groove, you

are the fielder.

That means, you

stand over there.

You have to wait

to catch the ball.

- Over there?

- Yes.

- Okay. (yawns)

What a Hoobigroovy

sunny day, this is, eh?

Perfect for a little... (yawns)

- One, two, three. (squeals)

(ball hits bat)

- Ah! Go, go, go!

Throw the ball back.

Groove!

- Yeah!

(Groove snores)

Where's the ball?

- Groove!

Wake up!

- Yeah, what?

Did I miss something?

- Yes, the ball.

- Sorry.

- [Distant Voice] Hubba,

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.

- Quick, it's Hubba Hubba.

(relaxing music)

(Groove yawns)

- So, we're all going

to play Rounders, then?

- No, Hubba Hubba.

Rounders isn't the right

sort of exercise for Hoobs.

It makes Groove fall asleep.

- Well, it's hardly surprising.

I've been on the move all day,

roller skating, rope

untangling, fetching this,

finding that.

- Well, I think you should go

and see some more Tiddlypeeps.

They'll think of something.

- It's the only thing to do.

Come on, Groove, you can drive.

- See what I mean, Hubba Hubba?

Work, work, work.

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps.

- [All Children]

Hoobledoop, Iver.

- What are your names?

- I'm Simon, and this is Sabina.

- And I'm Charlotte.

- Oh, that dancing you were

doing looked Hoobacious.

- Thanks, Iver.

- It looked like hard work.

I'll bet it's good exercise.

- It is, but it's fun, too.

- It's called barn dancing.

- Barn dancing?

Does that mean you have

to do it in a barn?

- No, it's called

that because people

used to do it in barns, where

there was lots of space.

- Oh, well, do you

think you'd be able

to do it in a Hoobmobile?

- Of course.

You can do it anywhere.

All you need are some

friends to do it with.

- Hoobacious.

Would you show me

how it goes, again?

- [All Children]

Of course, Iver.

- It isn't as hard as it looks.

Just watch us.

Take your partners by the hand.

Now form a star.

Around you go.

Back to the corners

and do-si-do.

(hands clap)

(Charlotte cheers)

- Hoobigalooby.

This is exactly the

type of exercise

Hoobs could all do together.

- [Tula] Hm.

- I think I've got it now.

Thanks Tiddlypeeps.

Hoobletoodledoo.

- [All Children]

Hoobletoodledoo.

(children cheer)

(lively music)

- Barn dancing is

the Hoobibusiness.

- It's perfect.

- Yeah, it's a pity we haven't

got any barn dancing music.

- [Tula and Iver] Oh, no.

- [Distant Voice] Hubba,

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.

- Leave it to me.

I'll download some barn

dance music from Hoobnet.

Ooh, I can't wait to do-si-do.

- [All Hoobs]

Hoob, Hoob, hooray!

(lively barn dance music)

- Right what do we do?

- Take your Hoob by the paw,

Form a star and round you go.

- A star, a star.

- A star.

(Hoobs laugh)

- This is good.

- Yeah.

- Now, find your

partner, and do-si-do.

- Groovy.

- Ah, this is Hoobigroovy.

- Yay!

(Hoobs laugh)

- Yes, but we have to stop now.

- [All Hoobs] But, why?

- Because it's

- Well, now, Hoobs,

are you ready

to give me your Hoob News

for my great Hoobopaedia?

- Yep, we're all

ready, Hubba Hubba.

- Then, take it away.

(intense driving music)

- Hoobledoop woop 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,

- What type of Tiddlypeep

exercise would Hoobs like best?

The first type of exercise

we tried was lifting weights.

- [Groove] But it was too hard.

- [Iver] And anyway,

Tiddlypeeps don't really do it.

So, next, Roma showed

us how Tiddlypeeps

love to do skipping, but that

wasn't going to work for us.

- [Tula] Then, some Tiddlypeeps

introduced us to roller skating.

- [Groove] Now, roller

skating looked easy.

- [Iver] But it wasn't,

and it was too dangerous

to do inside the Hoobmobile.

- [Tula] Next, we saw a

Hoobley groobley story

about a bat and ball

game, called Rounders.

I bowled.

- [Iver] I batted.

- [Groove] And I

fell asleep. (laughs)

- [Iver] But some

more Tiddlypeeps

knew exactly what type of

exercise is right for Hoobs.

- [Tula] It gets you really fit.

- [Iver] And we can

all do it together.

It's called

- [All Hoobs] Barn dancing.

- Ha, so it's

thanks once again to

Iver, Tula, Groove and Roma

for getting Hoobs

everywhere a little peep

into the world of peeps.

Now, I'm off for our

first Hoobland barn dance,

so Hoobletoodledoo.

Yee-Haw!

- [All Hoobs] Hoobletoodledoo!

- Yee-Haw.

(Hoobs laugh)

- Groove!

You're not going to eat

another Hoobicookie, are you?

- No, Tula.

No, of course, I'm not.

I'm just going to

dance with it, yes.

Shall we dance, Hoobiecookie?

"Oh, yes, please, Groove.

"Then you can eat me."

(Groove laughs)

One, two, three

One, two, three.

That's enough dancing.

- What?
