(laser buzzing)

- Hoobledoop Tiddlypeeps,

I'm Hubba Hubba talking

to you from Hoobland,

and I am about to send

four of my favorite Hoobs,

down to earth to find

out all about you

for my great Hoobopedia.

Here they come.

(light music)

(birds chirping)

- Ow!

- Shh.

- I am sorry Tula but I am

trying to squeeze some juice

out of the hoobocactospiker,

to make a (grunts)

hoobocactospiker shake.

Ow!

- Quiet Groove, you're

frightening the birds.

- I can't help it, these

hoobocactospiker leaves

are really prickly.

- Use the hoobocactospiker

squeezer then.

- I can't, I left

it in HoobLand.

- Ha!

That was a bit of of a

hooby boo boo, Groove.

- Ow!

- Hooba-doob,

everything all right?

- No it's not,

- Well no it really isn't.

- The birds keep flying away

- I can't squeeze the juice

- Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait wait

Wait, one at a time.

Tula.

- Well, I am trying to

get the birds to stay

and eat the bird nuts.

But, they just pick them

up and then, fly away.

So I can't get to

see them properly.

- Well, so why don't you

use the the bird nut holder,

the birds, perch on that,

and then you can watch them.

- I know, but I left the

bird nut holder in Hoobland.

- Oh, that is a bit of

a hooby boo boo Tula?

- Well, you left

your hoobocactospiker

squeezer Groove.

- Never mind, I have made us

some fresh Hubba Berry juice

to drink, while, we think of

a question for Hooba news.

- Oh, Thanks Iver.

- Thanks Iver.

- Come along.

(Grooves spitting)

- hooby galoobie,

its full of pips.

- Why didn't you use the

Hoobaberry strainer Iver?

- Well, I.

Oh, alright, I

left it in Hoobland

and before you say

anything, I know.

It was great big

hooby boo boo okay.

- Yeah, but my hooby

boo boo is the biggest.

I mean, How can you

squeeze the juice out of a

hoobocactospiker, without

hurting your paws?

- [Intercom] Hubba, Hubba.

- Oh Groove.

- Hubba, Hubba.

- That's the question

for Hoob News.

(all laughing)

- Oh, yes leave me

to clear up huh!

(Hubba sighs)

- How can you squeeze the

juice out of hoobocactospiker,

without hurting your paws?

- A hooble dooble duper question

and just the sort

of thing I can put

into my great Hoobapedia.

I must say Groove,

there's nothing quite like

a hoobocactospiker shake.

- Oh, yes Hubba Hubba. (laughs)

I can almost taste it now.

- And I can almost

taste Hoobo Berry Juice,

without pips in it.

I'm going to make some more,

then see if I can think

up a way to strain it.

- And I'll email Roma,

and put her on the case.

Meantime, here are some

pictures from Hoobnet,

to start you off.

(laser buzzes)

(light music)

- Ooh, those peeps look very

well covered don't they?

And, those would

keep your eyes safe?

- Your eyes.

- [Hubba Hubba] There's a

miner's Helmet. (laughs)

That would keep your face

safe wouldn't it, Hoobs?

And that would keep you

safe when you're cycling.

All of these things, are

to protect you do you see?

(Hubba Hubba laughs)

- Yeah, that's what I need.

Something protective

to put over my paws,

to stop them getting hurt.

- You mean Gloves?

- Yeah gloves,

that's it, gloves.

Gloves, I'm sure I've got some

gloves somewhere, but where?

♪ Where where where ♪

♪ Where ♪

- (laughs) Here's where!

How Hooby Groovy are these?

- Yes, very nice Groove.

(guitar music)

- Tula, Tula look, I had them

in my collection of things,

that are white,

light and frilly.

Right then.

(rubber band reverberates)

Ow!

Ow, ow, ow!

It's the holes, the

spikes are getting at me,

through the holes.

Oh, hooby bother.

- Wait a minute, do you think

the holes in these gloves,

are small enough to stop

bird nuts falling through?

- I don't know.

- Are they big enough

to let a little bird

get his beak inside?

- (laughing) Probably.

- Thanks Groove, I think

I've got my bird nut holder.

(guitar music)

- You have?

But how?

♪ How how how ♪

♪ How how how how how ♪

♪ How ♪

- Here's how.

The birds can feed on the nuts,

but they can't

fly off with them,

So I'll be able to

watch them, right?

- Oh, that's hooby groovy

for the birds Tula,

but what about me?

- [Intercom] Roma, Roma, Roma.

Oh, Iver!

It's Roma.

- Hold your poogs.

- [Both] Hooble doo Roma.

- Now Hoobs, today I am

reporting from a peep kitchen.

Now, as you can see,

there's whole loads

of dirty washing up to do.

Being a very generous Hoob,

I've decided to do it for them.

Even though it wasn't me,

that got all the dishes

dirty in the first place.

- But, Roma won't you

get your paws wet?

- Certainly not Groove.

I don't like helping

this peep out

but I'm not sticking my paws

into soapy water for anyone.

- (laughs) What are

you going to do then?

- Well, Iver, as

a matter of fact,

I've discovered something

absolutely Hoobasious,

that will keep my

paws completely dry.

- What's that Roma?

- It's these Groove.

- Hooby Groovy, what are they?

- They're rubber gloves Groove.

Peeps use them to protect

their hands from the hot water.

They also use them sometimes,

when they're cleaning

up smelly rubbish.

- Do you think some

gloves like that,

will protect my Hooby paws?

- I don't see why not Groove,

so I've sent you

a pair to try out.

- Aw, thanks Roma.

- And when you've finished,

there's something

else Hoobacious,

you can do with rubber gloves.

- Oh, what's that Roma?

- This!

(rubber squeaking)

(Groove laughing)

How about that Hoobs,

Fan-taby hooby eh?

This is Roma Hoob off to

give someone else a hand.

Hooble toodle doo.

- [Groove And Iver]

Hooble toodle doo!

- I can't wait for my

rubber gloves to arrive.

- I'm sure they'll do the job.

Now, I made some more

Hoobo Berry Juice

and well it is just a

question of finding a way,

to strain my pips out of it.

- Hooby Groovy, They're here!

(light music)

- (gasps) Hooby

Galoobie, it works!

- Hmm ah!

Now this is the sort

of, no it's not.

Oh!

Of course, we should

be using, Oh dear no!

- Hooby groovy, take a

look at these. (laughs)

We're going to have

hoobocactospiker

shaker in the blink

of a hooby eye.

- What I really need,

is something with lots

of tiny holes in it.

- Right then.

(rubber band reverberates)

Ow!

Ow, ow ow ow ow!

The spikes went

right through, look!

Oh no.

Now they're full of tiny holes.

- Full of tiny holes?

Hoobacious!

- No it's not Hoobacious Iver.

- Those holes are big

enough to let juice through

but small enough to

keep the pips out.

- What's that got to do

with my hoobocactospiker?

- Groove, if they're

no use to you,

can I use them to strain

my Hoobaberry Juice?

(Iver Giggles)

(both grunting)

(metal clanking)

- You should see

those birds up there.

They ate the lot!

I'm gonna put some

more some more nuts in

and I'm gonna go

straight back up there.

- Yeah but Tula.

- Now then, let's get straining!

(light music)

(water dripping)

(Tula Humming)

- [Intercom] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba

- Now then Groove,

have you had your

hoobocactospiker shake yet?

- No, Hubba Hubba, Iver found

a use for the rubber gloves

and Tula found something

to do with the lace gloves,

But I've still not got

a glove to help me.

- Ah, well why don't you go

and visit the Tiddlypeeps?

I am sure they'd hate to hear

that you're hurting your paws.

- Yeah the tiddlypeeps are

sure to help aren't they?

Would you drive me to

see the Tiddlypeeps Tula?

- Well, actually I'm

a bit busy Groove.

- Iver?

Will you drive Iver?

- Would you ask Tula Groove,

I'm a bit tied up here.

- Oh, I'll dry me-self.

(Iver laughs)

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeep!

- Hoobledoop, Groove.

- Would you like to

do a hooby hello?

- Yes, Please.

- [Both] Hoobledoop

Hoobledoop, woop, woop woop.

- What are you reading about?

- Knights, Groove.

- Knights?

What are they?

- Knights were people that

lived a long time ago.

They were like soldiers.

They used to fight each other

with swords, like these.

- Hooby galooby,

isn't that dangerous?

- [Tula] Yes.

- That's why they

wore suits of armor.

- Armor?

- It's those clothes

they're wearing,

They're made out of metal.

- [Groove] Hey, they've

got metal gloves too.

- They're called gauntlets.

- And they'd stop something

sharp from hurting you?

Tula order me some gauntlets,

from Hoobnet right away.

- [Tula] Right.

- Thanks so much Tiddlypeep,

Hooble Toodle doo.

- Hooble Toodle Doo!

(magical music)

- Right then, this Hoobaberry

Juice is much nicer.

- [Groove] The gauntlet's here!

- Thanks Iver.

Right, back to the birds.

(Tula Humming)

- (grunts) I can't get this

gauntlet to go on my paw.

- Oh, why don't

you just calm down

and have a nice cold

drink of Hoobaberry Juice?

- I don't want any

Hoobaberry juice,

(grunts) I want to

get this glove on.

Oh please Iver, help me

- All right Groove,

yes I'm sorry.

Come here.

There.

(Groove yells)

Oh, I see what you mean.

- Yeah.

(Groove yells)

- That's no good.

We need to push

together really hard.

- Yeah.

- After three Hooba boobas okay?

- Okay.

- [Both] One Hooba

booba, two hooba boobas,

three hooba boobas!

(Groove screaming)

- It's no good.

Those other gloves stretched,

but these metal gloves.

(metal clanks)

Ooh, they don't at all

- No, none of them

fits properly,

Hooby paws aren't

like peep hands.

- [Intercom] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

Hubba Hubba.

- You need a glove that

fits a Hooby paw Groove

and I think I might have

found you the answer.

Take a look at this story.

(laser buzzing)

- [Child] Once there was

a little rat called Slug,

who worked as the servant

of a huge ugly troll.

From the day from the day he'd

been able to use a duster,

Slug had cleaned and

cooked for the troll,

and the only time he rested

was when he fell asleep.

To keep himself

warm every night,

Slug climbed into an old

boxing glove in a box,

in the corner of the kitchen.

One day the troll slapped a

large cookbook in front of him.

Now tonight,

I want Rock Cakes.

And they'd better

be as I like them.

Heavy as lead and

tasty as granite.

When Slug tried to

knead the rocky dough,

it really hurt his hands.

"Ow," cried Slug.

He tried jumping up

and down on the dough,

but that just hurt his feet.

Ow!

If I don't get these

rock cakes made,

The troll would

be ever so angry.

Suddenly slug had an idea.

He climbed inside

his boxing glove bed,

and jumped up and down.

The boxing glove

pounded the dough

and because it was so thick,

Slug couldn't feel

a thing inside it.

When the troll tasted the

rock cakes, he was delighted.

These are as good as

my mom used to make.

And from then on,

Slug's rock cakes became

famous all over the land.

So famous, in fact that he

has his own rock cake shop,

and is still making

them to this day.

(laser buzzing)

- Well, I've ordered a pair

of boxing gloves from Hoobnet.

- Good, soon all your

troubles will be over Groove.

Do you know, I think I can

make this Hoobaberry juice

even smoother if I run it

through my glove again.

- What?

No Iver. (groans)

Oh!

- Yes, and the juice is

smooth and Hoobalicious.

(Iver chuckles)

- How Hooby groovy are these?

- [Both] Wow!

- They're really thick and they

fit on my paws really well.

(Iver and Tula chuckle)

- [Groove] Right

then. (chuckles)

- Are the spikes

getting you Groove?

- Well, no I can't

feel them at all,

in fact I can't feel anything.

These clubs are

too big and clumsy.

Oh, do you know I'm never

gonna be able to squeeze

this hoobocactospiker,

And I'll never make

hoobocactospiker shake.

(sad music)

- Have some Hoobaberry

instead, Groove.

- Tell you what else Iver,

we're never gonna answer

the question for Hoob News.

- Hoobnews?

Groove I completely forgot.

I was so busy straining,

I forgot about Hoob News.

- And I was so

busy bird watching,

that I forgot about it too.

- But even worse we weren't

helping you, Groove.

I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

- Me too.

- Well, do you know

we're going to need

to do some really quick Hooby

thinking to sort this out.

- [Intercom] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba.

- Well Groove, why don't you go

and see the Tiddlypeeps again?

They love to squeeze things.

I'm sure they can help you.

- Yes, go and see the

Tiddlypeeps Groove.

I'll drive you

there if you like?

- No I'll drive Iver.

- I'll drive you.

- No, no, no, I'll drive him.

- I'm quite happy to drive you.

- Come on.

- Iver, I will do it!

- Hoobledoop Tiddlypeep.

- Hoobledoop Groove,

You're back again?

- Yeah, well, the gauntlets

didn't really work out then.

Hey, what's that

you're drinking?

- It's fruit juice.

- What kind?

- It's orange, would

you like to try some?

- Oh, yes, please.

(straw slurping)

That is Hoobalicious.

have you ever tried to

hoobocactospiker shake?

- No, what's that?

- Well, it's made from the juice

of the hoobocactospiker plant.

You have to squeeze

the leaves really hard

to get the juice out.

And they're covered

in big prickles

that hurt your Hooby paws.

- Is that why you

wanted the gauntlets?

- Yeah, but I

couldn't get them on.

So now I don't know

what I'm gonna do.

- But Groove, you don't need

to use your paws at all,

you can just use one of these.

- What?

- What?

- What is it?

- What could it be?

- Hooby galooby,

that looks just like a

hoobocactospiker squeezer.

- It's a fruit press.

(playful music)

- Look at that.

- Hoooby galooby, Iver, Tula.

Order a fruit press

from Hoobnet right away.

- Certainly.

- Go, go.

- I think we've got the answer.

- [Iver] I think we have.

- Thanks Tiddlypeep.

I better get back now and

start squeezing some juice.

Hooble Toodle doo.

- Hooble Toodle doo.

- Who would have thought,

that the Tiddlypeeps

use something just like a

hoobocactospiker squeezer

to squeeze their fruit.

(Groove laughing)

- Let's try it, let's try it.

There, right.

- Wait, you'll need this.

- Oh, yeah.

- (laughs) We have

hoobocactospiker juice.

- [All] Hoob Hoob Hurray!

- Now all it needs

is a good shake

and we'll have a

hoobocactospiker shake.

(juice trickling)

(Iver laughing)

- [Intercom] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

Hubba Hubba Hubba.

- So Hoobs, are you are ready

to give me your Hoob news

for my great Hoobapedia?

- We are ready!

- Then, take it away!

- 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 a question

- How can you squeeze the

juice out of a hoobocactospiker

without hurting your paws?

- [Groove] First Hubba

Hubba showed lots

of different clothes that peeps

use to protect themselves.

- And Grooves decided that

he needed some gloves.

- [Tula] But the lace

gloves were full of holes.

- [Groove] And my

paws got pricked.

- [Iver] But Tula

managed to use the gloves

as bird nut holder.

Then Roma sent Groove some

gloves made of rubber.

- [Groove] My paws

still got pricked.

- But I was able to use

them to strain the pips

out of Hoobaberry juice.

- [Tula] Then Groove went

to see the Tiddlypeeps

and found out about some

metal gloves called gauntlets.

- [Groove] But they just

wouldn't fit over my paws.

- [Tula] Then, we saw

a story about a rat

who used a boxing glove

to stop himself getting hurt.

- But they were so thick I

couldn't feel anything at all.

- [Iver] So Groove went to

see the Tiddlypeeps again,

and found exactly

what he needed.

- A fruit press!

I didn't need to

use my paws at all

- Oh! well done Groove,

so its thanks once again

to Iver, Tula, Groove and Roma,

for getting Hoobs everywhere

a little peep into

the world of peeps.

And remember wherever

you are have a nice day

and Hooble Toodle Doo.

- [All] Hooble Toodle Doo!

- Hoobocactospiker

shake here we come.

- Oh!

♪ Hubba Hubba's in Hoobland ♪
