(happy music)
(Hoob humming)
- Where's Groove?
- (screams) Oh Iva!
You made me jump!
- I'm sorry, Tula.
I was just wondering
where Groove was.
- Here I am!
I've been out collecting but
these cheeky tiddly peeps
keep sneaking up behind
me and then running away
like this woo, hoo, hoo.
(Tula screams)
- Groove!
(Groove laughs)
- Yeah, tell you, eh!
Make me jump every time
because I can't see them
creeping up behind me.
- You'd be able to see them if
you walked backwards, Groove.
- Uh, backwards?
Like this, you mean?
(soft music)
Ope, ow!
- Oh dear, that's no good.
Oh dear, how can
Groove see behind him
when he's out collecting?
- [Hubba Hubba Voiceover]
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, Hubba!
- Tula, you've hit the question!
- How can Groove see
what's behind him
when he's out collecting?
That's an excellent
question for Hoob News.
- (chuckling) You're
telling me Hubba Hubba.
- Now, it's tiddly peeps
have got Groove jumping
in the first place so why don't
you go and ask some of them?
- That's a Hoobacious
idea, Hubba Hubba!
- Groove, why don't you go--
- And I'll drive!
- But I wanted to stay here
and have a bit of a rest
from all that jumping.
- No, come on.
Come on.
- Oh, she's got a grip on it.

- What's the time, Mr. Wolf?
- Hoobledoop tiddly peeps!
- Hoobledoop, Groove!
- Hey going to do a Hoopy hello.
- Yes!
- Yeah!
- Hoopledoop, hoopledoop,
woot, woot, woot.
(Groove laughing)
- What was that game
you were playing?
- It's called What's
the Time, Mr. Wolf?
- Oh, is there a wolf in here?
- No!
She just pretends
to be the wolf.
- And we try to sneak up on
her without her seeing us.
- And I try to catch them.
- Do you want to play?
- Me, oh could I?
- Of course, come on!
(Groove laughing)
- What's the time, Mr. Wolf?
- It's one o'clock.
- One o'clock.
- What's the time, Mr. Wolf?
- It's four o'clock.
- It's four o'clock.
- What's the time, Mr. Wolf?
- It's dinner time!
- Oh no, dinner time!
(Groove laughing)
Ah, you got me!
- Did you enjoy that food?
- That's a hooby groovy game.
I best get back to
the Hoobaville now.
Oh dear, Hoobledoodledoo.
- Hoobledoodledoo!
- Mr. Wolf (laughing)!
Did you see that?
- Yes, Groove, it
looked hoobacious fun!
- Yeah.
- So, hoobacious, I think you
completely forgot to find out
how you can see behind you
when you're out collecting.
- No, I didn't.
That tiddly peep
gave me the answer.
All I have to do is turn around
every so often and check.
It's easy.
Look, I'll show you.
I'll pretend I'm collecting,
and Iva, you try and sneak
up on me.
- Oh well, right.
- Okay, here we go, excuse me.
- Yes, yes.
- Collect, collect, collect.
Collect, collect, collect.
- Boo!
(Groove laughing)
See, I gotcha.
It's perfect.
- Boo!
- Ah!
(Tula laughing)
(Groove laughing)
- What happened there?
- Well Groove, your plan's
fine unless two tiddly peeps
sneak up on you from
different directions.
You need to be able to
see forwards and backwards
at the same time.
- Right, but how?
♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how, how, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how ♪
- Hubba Hubba will know how.
- [Hubba Hubba Voiceover]
Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba!
Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
(Hubba Hubba startles)
- Oh Hoobs, you made me jump!
I was just looking something
up in my Hoo Big Computer Book.
Now then, did the tiddly
peeps give you an idea?
- Sort of, Hubba Hubba.
But it doesn't work if two
tiddly peeps sneak up on you
at the same time.
- Well, never mind.
Take a look at this story
a tiddly peeps sent in
to Hoob Net.
Maybe that'll help.
(soft warping)
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] Melvin the
Monster loved to put on scary
costumes to scare his mom.
One day, he put gloves on his
ears and crept up behind her
while she was making his lunch.
- Look at me, grr.
- [Narrator] "Melvin,"
said his mom,
"I'm busy!
"I can't look now.
"I haven't got eyes in
the back of my head!"
Next, he put a saucepan on
his head and crawled up behind
her while she was washing up.
- Look at me, boo!
- Melvin, I'm busy!
I can't look now,
I haven't got eyes in
the back of my head.
- You never have
time to look at me.
(Hoobs whimper)
- [Narrator] Sighed
Melvin sadly.
So his mom decided to visit
Mary the Monster Maid cabin.
He gave grown up monsters
all the things that made them
scary like big teeth
and sharp claws.
And Melvin's mom knew
exactly what she wanted.
That night, Melvin put his
dad's old slippers on his hands
and crept up behind her
while she was dusting.
- [Narrator] "Look at
me, woo," he cried.
And suddenly, a pair of eyes
opened and looked at him
right out of the back
of his mom's head.
- "You looked," cried Melvin!
- [Narrator] "Yes,"
laughed his mom.
"Now I can do all of the
things that I need to do
"but look at you at the same
time because I have eyes
"in the back of my head."
(Hoobs laugh)
- [Narrator] And from that
day on, she never stopped
looking at him.
(soft music and warp)
- Eyes in the back of
your head, hooby groovy.
That would mean you could
see forwards and backwards
at the same time (chuckles).
I have to get
another pair of eyes.
But how?
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪
♪ How, how ♪
- Here's how!
- Eh?
- Turn around, Groove.
Right, Iva, could
you tie me to Groove?
- Huh, okay, sure.
- Yeah (chuckling)
- I'm putting around here.
- Yeah, careful.
- So why are we
doing this exactly?
I mean, it's very nice
being tied to Tula, but--
- You'll see, Groove.
- Right!
There you are.
- Hooby groovy!
Now what?
- Now Groove, you do have
eyes in the back of your head.
My eyes!
- Hoobacious!
We've answered the question!
The way for Groove
to see behind him
when he's out collecting
is to tie you to him!
- Ah, how hooby
groovy is that eh.
All right, let's pretend
I'm out collecting.
Collect, collect,
collect, collect.
I just see something I
think I want to collect.
Oh, that for instance.
- [Tula] Ah, oh no Groove!
Put me down, ugh!
- Oh, sorry Tula.
Right, off we go again.
- [Tula] No, no, no, no!
This isn't going to
work, no, no, no, no, no!
- Why not?
- I can't spend half the
day with my legs in the air!
(Tula breathing hard)
- Oh Tula.
- Untie us!
- So what are we gonna do now?
- [Hooba Voiceover] Roma.
- Ah, maybe Roma will know.
(warping sound)
- Hoobledoo, Hoobs.
- Hoobledoo, Roma.
- Hubba Hubba tells me
you're trying to find out
about things behind you.
- That's right, Roma.
- Well Groove, look
what's behind me!
I've come here to
Mount Rushmore.
- Am I imagining things, Roma?
Or are there four
huge peep heads
on the side of that mountain.
- You're not, Iva!
They're really there.
A peep spent about
years carving them
into the mountain side.
Fun-tabbie-hoobie, eh?
It feels rather like
having four enormous peeps
looking over your shoulder.
- It must be hoobly
groobly to be there, Roma!
- It certainly is, Tula!
I've taken some pictures
of it with this camera.
They're very nice.
But what I really want
is a picture of myself
standing in front of Mount
Rushmore so that I can show
everyone back in Hoob
Land that I was here!
- Who's going to take
the picture, Roma?
- Well, that's the problem, Iva.
I've come here alone and
there's no one else around
to take the picture for me.
So I'm going to have to
try and take it on my own.
Here goes!
(camera developing)
(Hoobs gasping)
(Roma blowing)
Wait a minute, Hoobs!
Wait a minute!
There!
(everyone laughing)
You see?
Now it looks like
four enormous peeps
are standing behind me.
Aren't these instant
cameras hoobacious?
In fact, I like them so
much that I've sent you one.
- Oh thanks, Roma!
- That's quite
all right, Groove!
Well, I've gotta be off now.
This is Roma Hoob,
feeling rather small.
Hooble toodle doo!
- Hooble toodle doo!
- Now, I wonder when
the next bus is due.
- That must be the camera now!
(exciting music)
- I'm not quite sure I
understand how the camera's
gonna work, Iva.
- Well you see, um--
- I know how it'll work!
If you take pictures over
your shoulder, Groove,
you'll see what's behind
you just like Roma did.
- Oh, that's a hooby
groovy idea, okay.
Thank you very much.
It's very modern (chuckling).
Okay, Tula.
You pretend to be a tiddly
peep and sneak up behind me.
- Right, here goes.
(soft, country music)
(Groove blowing)
- Boo!
(Groove yelling)
- Ah, wait Tula, wait!
- What happened?
- Well, I can see
Tula now in the photo.
But when she went boo,
the picture wasn't ready.
- Oh.
- This camera was
a good idea, Tula.
But it's too slow.
I'm never gonna be able to
catch those tiddly peeps out,
ever.
- Yes you are, Groove.
We'll uh, we'll ask
someone for help.
- But who?
♪ Who, who, who ♪
♪ Who, who, who ♪
- I know who!
Hubba Hubba!
(warping music)
- Oh, where is he?
- Hubba Hubba!
- Oh, hooble doo
hoobs (chuckling).
I was just trying to
mend my Hooby computer.
Anyway, I've been having a bit
of a roota battle hoobnets.
Take a look at what I've found.
(warping sound)
Let's have a look at what
we've got here, hoobs.
All sorts of different
things being reflected
in the water.
Look at that boat, and
an island and some trees,
and a bridge.
Aren't these reflections
in the water, fantaby ooby?
(warping music)
- Reflections?
How's that going to help
Groove see what's behind him?
- Yeah, the only water we've
got is in the Hooby Pond
up on the roof garden.
- Well let's go up there.
Maybe looking into the pond
will help you see behind you,
Groove, you never know.

- Hm, trouble is, in a pond
you can only see what's above
you because you're
looking down--
- Yeah.
- If you wanted to see
what was behind you
you'd have to tilt the
pond up in front of you.
(chuckles) and all the
water would fall out.
- Wait a minute.
There's something else you
can see a reflection in.
- There is?
- Yes, a mirror!
I'm sure we've
got one somewhere.
- Oh, but where?
♪ Where, where, where ♪
♪ Where ♪
- (chuckles) My collection
of shiny square things,

(sighs) Hooby Groovy, I never
thought of using a mirror
to look behind me,
only to look at
myself (chuckles).
- Well, yes, Groove.
You are a fine figure of a Hoob.
But don't you think we
should test this out?
- Us?
Oh, yes, yes, right, okay.
Iva, Tula, you try
and sneak up on me.
Let's go.
(everyone laughing)
(jazzy piano music)
See you!
(Hoobs laughing)
- Hooby galooby, that's it!
We've done it!
- Wait a minute.
- What, what?
- Well, if I hold up this
mirror the whole time,
then my paws aren't free
for collecting are they?
- Oh no!
I suppose not.
Oh hooby brother and hooby blow.
What are we going to do?
It's almost time for Hoob News!
- We could ask Hubba Hubba!
- No Tula, he's busy
fixing his computer.
We don't want to
make him jump again.
- Right, so what
would you suggest?
- Um, um.
- Um, um.
- A visit to the Tiddly Peeps.
- Off you go, Groove.
Come on!
- Hey, oh, oh right, yes, I
need to know how I can see
behind me and I
need to know now.
- I'll drive you there!
- And I'll stay here and,
oh, not bad.
- Seat belt Iva!
- Yes.

- Hoople do, Groove.
- I'm glad that I saw you.
Otherwise, you might
have made me jump.
- What do you mean, Groove?
- Well, I've been playing
a game with some other
tiddly peeps.
They sneak up on
me and they go boo!
(Groove snickering)
I need some way of
seeing behind me.
- This is what you need.
- What, a bike?
How's that gonna help me?
- Not the bike, the
mirrors on the bike.
I need to see what's behind
me too when I'm cycling.
- Oh, right.
Well, the thing is,
I've tried the mirror.
And I could see
behind me all right.
But then my paws weren't
free for collecting.
- But look, Groove, I'm not
holding my mirrors either.
- Of course, yeah, because
you need your hands free
to hold on to the handlebars.
- These wing mirrors are
attached to my bike instead.
- Oh, wing mirrors, wing
mirrors, hooby galooby!
That is brilliant.
- Yes!
- I'm gonna get back
to the Hoobaville right now
and get myself
some wing mirrors.
Hooble toodle do!
- Hooble toodle do!
(Groove laughing)

- Hodacious, wing mirrors!

- But Tula, Hoob News!
- Oh, I'll be a minute.

Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba.
- Hooby galooby.
Where is he now?
- Boo!
(Hoobs scream)
I got you this time, hoobs!
Now, are you read with
your Hoob News for my great
Hoobapedia?
- Yes, yes we are, Hubba Hubba.
- Then take it away.
- Hoople Doo, woo, to
all you hoobs out there!
Welcome to Hoob News, the new
show for hoobs everywhere!
I'm Iva--
- I'm Tula--
- And I'm Groove.
- And today, we've been
asking the question--
- How can Groove see
what's behind him
when he's out collecting?
- First, I went to
see some tiddly peeps
who showed me that I
could just turn around.
- [Tula] But that only
works if there aren't two
tiddly peeps sneaking up on you.
- [Iva] Then we saw a
story about a monster
with eyes in the
back of her head.
- [Groove] So Iva strapped
Tula to me so she could be
the eyes in the back of my head.
- [Tula] But I couldn't go
out collecting with Groove
all the time.
- No, so that was no good.
- [Iva] Then Roma showed us how
you can use a camera to take
pictures of what's behind you.
- [Tula] But the pictures
took too long to appear
and I boo'ed Groove again.
- [Groove] Then, Hubba Hubba
showed us some pictures
of things reflected in water.
- [Iva] Which made us
think that a mirror might
be the answer.
- [Tula] But then Groove's paws
weren't free for collecting.
- [Groove] But the tiddly
peeps showed me something hooby
groovy--
- [Hoobs] Wing mirrors.
- Which means that now I can
see behind me when I'm out
collecting, hooble toodle do!
- Huh, huh, huh?
- Where's he going?
(Groove muttering)
- Oh, look at that!
That is beau--
Ah ha, caught you that
