[Whirring And Chimes]

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 Hoobipedia.

Here they come!

[Whirring]

♪ You know who the Hoobs are ♪

- Iver

- Groove

- And Tuia

- We're Hoobs!

♪ And they're ready to go ♪

- Well hey!

♪ Now the wheels are turning ♪

♪ We can all get learning ♪

♪ All the things

we want to know ♪

- He Hey

(Spring)

♪ Hubba Hubba's in Hoobland ♪

♪ And Roma's

♪ Oo Oo Oo ♪

♪ The Motorettes are singing ♪

♪ We get the engine spinning ♪

♪ Hoob Hoob Hurray! ♪

♪ The Hoobmobile is

coming your way ♪

- Oh here we come

- Well hey!

- Aww

♪ The Hoobs are here

so what do you say? ♪

- Hoobs!

(Air Pumping)

- Aren't wheels

hoobacious Tulia?

Without wheels the Hoobmobile

wouldn't be able to go

anywhere at all, would it?

(Sprinkles)

- Oy, careful up there Groove!

- [Groove] Sorry!

- Yes, without wheels

we would be stuck

- So we'd better get this

one pumped up straight away.

(Spring noises and banging)

- Hoobi galoobi, what

is he doing up there?

- He's moving the

Hoobicotton blossom plants.

(Crashing Noises)

- (Groans) You fix the wheel

Iver. I'll go up and check on

Groove.

(Air pumping)

- (Spits and Sniffs) Ah

(inhales loudly) (Groans)

(Bell Rings)

(Groaning)

(Bell rings)

Ah this time (groaning)

(banging)

(bell ringing)

- Groove?

- Tulia, I'm stuck.

- Oh

- Help me, push me forward

- Yeah, got you

- Just push me, push me, push me

- I got you

(Banging then ringing)

- Oh, It's no good Tulia.

I want to get them over

there, but they're too heavy.

I can't carry them.

- Well, why do you want

to move them, Groove?

- Because, well, they're

not happy where they are.

I'm hoping that if I move

them over there they might

burst into flower.

Poof! He he he

First, well, (inhales deeply,

groans, and then ringing)

- Ya know, I really can't stop

thinking about wheels Tulia.

(Ringing)

They really are

- Yeah hoobacious, I know.

Oh come on Groove. I'll help.

- (Groaning) you're on my foot

- Oh sorry.

(Groaning)

(Banging and Ringing)

- I wonder what other sort

of wheel would be useful

in the Hoobmobile.

- [Voice Over]

Hubba Hubba (echos)

- That's Hubba Hubba.

I've hit the question.

(Ringing) Oo Ouch

Come on

You

[Soft Jazz Plays]

- What other sort of wheel

would be useful in the

Hoobmobile?

That's a Hooble Dooble Dooba

question for Hoob News Iver

Hoobs everywhere will be falling

over themselves to look up

the answer in my

great Hoobipedia.

- I wish Hoobs everywhere would

fall over themselves to help

me move my Hoobicotton

blossom plants.

- That reminds me Groove.

It's almost time for Hoobicotton

blossom plants to go Poof!

- Yes Hubba Hubba.

Groove's haven't gone poof yet,

which is why he want to move

them, but we've ah we've

got to do Hoob News first.

- Right you are! I'll email

Roma to tell her to start

finding

out about wheels, but first

of all, let me see what I can

find for you on Hoobnet.

Ah Ha! Have a look at this!

- Now these wheels

are hoobacious Hoobs.

These are water wheels, you see,

and the water pushes

the wheels around.

Look there's another one. Ha Ha!

And another one.

And these, wheels turn other

wheels which grind flour

to make the wheat bread.

Isn't that hoobacious?

Ha, Ha, Ha.

- Well, I've seen some

hoobacious wheels in my time,

but I've never ever seen a

wheel as hoobacious as that.

Think how useful it would

be in the Hoobmobile.

- We've got one.

- We have?

- Well, sort of. Follow me.

[Flute and Piano

Playing Lively melody]

- Uh, following you!

- I know it's very small,

but It works the same

way as the big one.

- But a big one would

be useful, wouldn't it?

- Um, do Hoobs

need to grind corn?

- No

- (Groaning) Then it

wouldn't be useful would it?

(Groaning continues)

- Besides, a proper water

wheel would be much too big for

the Hoobmobile. Think what a

great big stream of water you

would need to turn it.

(Groaning)

- (Sigh) You're right.

It was a silly idea.

- Yeah.

- Now what?

♪ What? ♪

♪ What? What? What? ♪

♪ What? ♪

♪ What? What? What? ♪

- Grr. You can help me with

these Hoobicotton blossom plants

that's what. (Groaning)

- No, not until we've

done Hoob News, Groove.

- [Voice Over]

Hubba Hubba (echo)

- That's Hubba Hubba

- Tulia, Tulia.

(Groaning)

(Banging)

(Ringing)

Thanks

- Hoobi Galoobi Hubba Hubba

That's a hoobi groovy

hoobicotton blossom plant.

- Well, thank you

Groove. Yes. Ha Ha

Any minute now, I'm hoping

that it will burst into flower

Poof!

(Laughter)

- Yeah well, once

I move my plants,

I'm sure they'll go poof too

- After Hoob News,

Groove. Remember?

- Ah Yes! How are

you getting on?

- Not that well, we've decided

that a water wheel wouldn't

be that useful for us.

- Well, take a look at this

tiddly beats story about a

completely different

sort of wheel.

(Circus music)

- [Narrator] Bernie the

juggling bear was a very clever

bear indeed.

She could do all

sorts of tricks.

(Ding)

But she wasn't happy.

(Yawn)

(Whistling)

- Cheer up Bernie.

- [Narrator] Says

her friend Lucy Lion.

Look at you juggling.

No one else can juggle

as well as that.

- Look at you balancing

things on your head.

- [Narrator] Says Harry Hippo.

- No one else can

balance like you can.

- And what about

your squirty flower?

- [Narrator] Asked

Rachel Raccoon

- Everyone laughs when you

squirt your squirty flower.

(Laughter)

- I'm tired of all my tricks.

(Spring Noises then a Crash)

I want to try something new.

- [Narrator] So she went to see

Jerry Jaguar who had a trick

shop full of cleaver tricks.

- What about juggling balls?

- Got them

(Nail Filing then Scratching)

- Things to balance

on your head?

- Got them

- Squirty flower?

- Got one

- Alright then.

Bet you haven't got one

of these! New in today.

- What is it?

- It's a unicycle.

- Oh

- Try it.

- [Narrator] So Bernie

did, and she loved it.

- Look at me!

- [Narrator] Bernie

called to her friends.

- I can right a unicycle,

and I can do all of

my old tricks as well.

- [Narrator] Bernie's

friends clapped and cheered.

[Cheers]

- They were pleased that

Bernie was a happy bear again.

As well as a very cleaver one.

- A unicycle! Hoobacious!

Let's get one.

- [Voice Over]

Hubba Hubba (echos)

- I'm not sure Iver.

♪ La La La La La ♪

- Did the story help, Iver?

- Oh yes! Thank you Hubba

Hubba. Um would you send us a

unicycle, please?

- Nothing simpler.

There. It's on it's way.

- Your Hoobicotton blossom

looks as though it's gonna burst

into flower any

second Hubba Hubba.

- Oo yes! I can't wait, Groove.

There's no moment like the

moment when a Hoobicotton

blossom buds goes Poof!

Enjoy the unicycle Iver!

- It's here!

- I think I'll have

another go at those pots.

( Piano music)

- Tulia, ah! Tulia look. Come

over here. Now, this looks

simple enough. Will you

hold it steady for me?

- All right

- There ya go. Right.

I'm getting on.

Just I might have

to just hold you.

- Yes

- Ah ha.

(Nervous laughing)

- Tulia?

- Yes?

- Let go.

- Well, you let go.

- Oh yes.

(Nervous Laughing)

All right. Here we go!

(Squeaking from unicycle)

- Oh dear!

Oh yes!

Oh No!

(Crash)

- Ouch!

- Simple did you say?

- I don't think I'm going to

be any good at uni cycling.

- [Voice Over]

Hubba Hubba (Echos)

- Hoobs! Hoobs!

My Hoobicotton Blossom Plant

is just about to go Poof!

I just know it.

(Poof)

(Chime)

- How hooby groovy was that?

(Poof and Chime)

- Nothing like it, is there?

Now, how's the unicycle?

- No good Hubba Hubba.

We need some more help.

- Why don't you go and

ask the Tiddlypeeps.

They're bound to know

about things with wheels.

- Of course they are!

- I'll drive you Iver. Come on.

- Oh yeah.

(Guitar music plays)

- Ready Groove?

- Oh yes.

(Poof and Chime)

[Laughter]

[Poof!]

Ha

- Seatbelt

- Hoobledoop

- Hoobledoop Iver

- What's your name?

- I'm Ky

- Ky, would you like

to do a Hooby Hello?

- Yes

[Hooble Doop, Hooble

Doop, Whoop, Whoop, Whoop]

- Uh Ky, I need

your help please.

We're looking for something

useful with wheels.

I've been trying

to ride a unicycle.

It's very difficult.

- I'm not surprised.

- You're not?

- No, unicycles are

really hard to ride.

It takes ages to learn.

- Well no wonder

I fell off then.

- What about one

of these instead?

- It's my little

sister's tricycle.

- It's got three wheels.

- That's right. It makes it

easier for little people to ride

- Look at this Hoobs! It's a

tricycle. Isn't it Hoobacious?

- It is

- It's easier to

ride than a unicycle.

See if you can order

one from Hubba Hubba.

Thank you so much Ky. I

knew you'd be able to help.

I better be off now to see

if my tricycle's arrived.

Hooble Toodle Do

- Hooble Toodle Do

(Music plays)

- Now I am sure Iver will

be able to ride this.

- Oh yeah.

- Down.

- Oo it's cool.

Hoobacious.

Can I have a go?

- I think you should.

- Watch this.

Right

(Tricycle Squeaking

and laughter)

- Mind the

- What?

- Clutter cupboard

(Riding into the cupboard)

- Oh no! I can't

see. I can't see.

(Crash)

- Sorry Tulia. Iver, honestly.

- I'm so sorry Groove.

- I really don't think that

the trike is the answer.

I really don't. I mean,

I know you can ride it.

You ride it very well, but

really isn't enough room.

Is there? All you're going

to do is bump into things.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you are.

- I'm not.

(Crash)

- Careful Iver.

- Sorry

Groove's right we're never

going to find the answer.

- We have to Iver. We just have

to because when we find the

answer, you'll help me move

my Hoobicotton blossom plants

and when we've moved

them, they'll go poof!

- [Voice Over] Roma (Echos)

- Here's Roma. Maybe

she's found something out?

- Hoobledoop Hoobs

(Hoobledoop Roma)

- Hubba Hubba tells me you're

trying to find out all about

wheels. So, I've come here.

- Where are you, Roma?

- Oh I'm in an absolutely

fantabihooby place Tulia.

It's called a supermarket.

It's where a lot of peeps come

to get all their food.

- (gasp) food? What have

they got there Roma?

- Well Groove, there's

bread, milk, and all sorts of

hoobacious things.

There's even a whole row that's

just different kinds of cheese.

- Just cheese?

(Laughter)

- Hooby Groovy

(Laughter)

- Well, it sounds very nice

Roma, but what's it got to do

with wheels?

- Oh I'm just

coming to that Iver.

Now, peeps like to buy an

awful lot of food all at once.

They'd never get everything

they want into one little basket

so they use these cleaver

things called trollies.

- Hmm look at all that food.

- Yes Groove.

Anyway, trollies are like big

baskets on wheels, and because

they're on wheels the peeps

don't have to lift them up.

They can push them

along instead. Much

easier than lifting.

- What a hoobacious idea!

- It certainly is Iver.

I'll tell you something

else hoobacious as well.

Some of these trollies have

a special seat in them for

squiddly tiddlypeeps to ride in.

- Hooby Galooby

- Hooby Galooby instead Tulia.

I'd rather fancy a go

in one of them myself.

This is Roma Hoob

in a supermarket,

off to have a ride in a

trolley. How exciting?

Hooble Toodle Doo.

(Hooble Toodle Doo)

- That's it! Wheels don't

just move peeps about.

They move things about too.

So, what things would it be

useful to be able to move around

the Hoobmobile?

- Oh I know!

Hoobicotton blossoms.

- Oh not again!

- Why not? I want to move them.

So, obviously the wheels

it would be useful to have

are wheels to go on

the bottom of the

Hoobicotton blossom pots.

- And where exactly

would you get the wheels

to put on the pots Groove?

- Um

Ah!

(Mischievous laughter)

- Here's where. (Laughing)

Oh I can see it now.

(Grunts)

- What's the matter with it?

- The wheels aren't going round

- Yes I can see that.

Let's try pulling it.

I think after three hoobaboobas

(One hoobabooba)

(Two hoobabooba)

- That tickles

(Three hoobaboobas)

(Grunting)

- They're still not turning.

- You might think these

wheels are Hoobacious Iver,

but they're not working for me.

Oh my Hoobicotton blossoms

are never gonna go poof

- [Voice Over]

Hubba Hubba (echos)

- I'll go

(Ringing)

- No luck with the

trike wheels then, Iver?

- No Hubba Hubba.

Groove's getting upset,

and we're not going

to have an answer for

Hoob News.

- Hooby Galooby. No

matter what I do,

my Hoobicotton blossoms will

never be as Hooby Groovy

as yours Hubba Hubba.

- Yes it hasn't stopped

going Poof! All day.

But, you know what I

say? You never give up.

- I'll tell you what Groove.

Why don't you take the spare

trike wheel and go and

see some tiddlypeeps.

- And that's just what I

was going to suggest Iver.

The tiddlypeeps are bound

to know how to make it work.

- Come on my Hoobibuddy.

I'll drive you there.

- Hoobledoop Tiddlypeeps

- Hoobledoop Groove

- Hey look at this.

You're gardening.

- Yeah we are.

- That's what I've

been doing all day.

You're garden

looks Hooby Groovy.

- Thanks Groove

I've been trying to move my

Hoobicotton blossom plants,

but they're really heavy.

We tried to put wheels on

the pots like this, but

well, it didn't work. I

stuck them on with tape.

And the wheels

wouldn't go around.

- It wouldn't go around because

the wheels need something

to spin around on before

it can move, like this.

- Look at that

- I see, but how'd you do that

on a Hoobicotton blossom pot?

- Well, that would be hard, but

- Yes. Yes.

- I know something of a

wheel you could use. Look.

(flute playing)

- Ah! Look at that.

That is so Hooby Groovy.

- It's a wheel barrel Groove.

- It's really good for

getting plants around.

- Ah yeah, look at that. There's

a wheel there, and here's

the spokey thing for

it to turn around,

and I guess that there, that's

the box part for putting

things in, and the handles at

the back are for lifting it

up and pushing it. Can

you see this? Tulia? Iver?

(Oh yes)

- Wheel, box, handles, got it!

That shouldn't be too tricky.

- A wheel barrel. Why you

Tiddlypeeps are so cleaver.

This is just what I need.

- No problem Groove.

- Thank you so

much! Both of you.

I'm going to get

back now and move my

Hoobicotton Blossom

plants. Hooble Toodle Do

(Hooble Toodle Do)

- Hahaha

(Music)

- Groove is going to be

so pleased with this.

- Ah, Hooby Galooby.

- What did I say Groove?

Wheels are Hoobacious

- Yeah

(grunting)

(chime)

- Thank you so much you two.

My Hoobicotton blossoms are

going to be going poof!

In no time at all.

- But we can't sit up here

and watch them Groove.

It's time for Hoob News!

- Oh (laughs

nervously) I'm fine.

Hubba Hubba (echo)

- Well, Hoobs. Are you ready

with your Hoob News for my

great Hoobipedia?

(Ready Hubba Hubba)

- Then take it away

- Hoobledoop Whoop to

all you Hoobs out there.

Welcome to Hoob News. The news

show for Hoobs everywhere.

I'm Iver.

- I'm Tulia

- And I'm Groove.

- And today we've been

asking the question

- What other sort of wheel

would be useful in the

Hoobmobile?

- Iver wanted a water wheel,

but it wasn't useful for Hoobs.

And anyway, it was too

big for the Hoobmobile.

- But Iver thought that a uni

cycle would be very useful

- Except that we couldn't

ride it. So the Tiddlypeeps

found us something

with three wheels.

- But we soon realized that

it's best to walk around the

Hoobmobile.

- Then Roma showed us that

you can use wheels to move

things around.

- So, I fixed the trike

wheels on the bottom of a

Hoobicotton blossom pot

- But they didn't work

- Then the Tiddlypeeps told

Groove that wheels need

something to turn around

- Then they showed me a Hooby

Groovy thing with a wheel

that's perfect for moving

Hoobicotton blossoms.

It's a

(Wheelbarrel)

- Hoobacious! So it's thanks

once again to Iver, Tulia,

Groove, and Roma for getting

Hoobs everywhere a little

peek into the world of

peeps. And remember!

Where ever you are, have a

nice day, and Hooble Toodle Do!
