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 Hoobopedia.
Here they come!

- One, two, three,
four, five--
- [Iver] Tula!
- Wait, wait, I'm
just counting my jam!
Six, seven, eight--
- Tula, look!
- Nine.
- We found our Hoobytug.
- Yeah, but the
Hoobybag is broken.
- Well, never mind.
We can still play with
the Hoobytug, can't we?
I'll have a go after I've
finished with my jam.
- Ready?
- Ready.
- I've got Heebleleaf
jam, Hooboberry jam
and Hoobocactospiker jam,
but they all look the same.
- Hooby, hooby,
hooby--
- Sort of red.
- Hooby hooby hooby
tug! (they groan)
(rope boings)
(they yell)
- Oh no, now the Hoobybag
and the Hoobytug are broken.
- The Hoobytug is broken?
And I didn't get to play!
And I was really looking
forward to a good Hoobytug.
- What can we use
to fix our Hoobytug?
- [Computer]
(echoing) Hubba Hubba.
- Ah, it's Hubba Hubba.
(electronic whooshing)
- What can we use
to fix our Hoobytug?
That's a very good question
for today's Hoob News.
- Thank you, Hubba Hubba.
- Oh yes, it's something Hoobs
everywhere will want to know.
After all, there's no knowing
when your Hoobytug might break,
and the answer will go into
the Fixing Things section
of my great Hoobopedia.
- I'll email Roma to tell her
that she needs to find out
all about fixing things.
- Is there anything on Hoobnet
to get us started, Hubba Hubba?
- Ah yes, let me
see what I can find.
It seems there are many
ways to fix things.
Oh, how interesting.
Take a look at this.
(electronic whooshing)
- [Hubba Hubba] What's
this peep doing here?
Oop, she's fixing something.
Ooh, there's some more
fixing going on there.
Ooh, these peeps
do so much fixing!
Yes, very carefully.
Oh, what's going on here?
Ah, they're fixing two
pieces of wood together.
(electronic whooshing)
- All those ways
of fixing things.
But I didn't see anyone
fixing a Hoobytug.
- But did you see those peeps
fixing those bits of wood?
- Yes, they just
stuck it together!
But how?
♪ How how how ♪
♪ How how how how how ♪
♪ How ♪
- With something sticky,
like Hoobofix, that's how!
- Hmm, do you think we could
fix the Hoobytug with Hoobofix?
- It's worth a try.
- Hmm.
- (gasps) It's run out!
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Have we got anything
else that's sticky?
- (munches) Your jam!
- (gasps) Groove!
- What, but it is sticky!
And if you ask me, this one
is stickier than this one.
Although this one is definitely
(slurps) yummier! (laughs)
- Come on Groove, come
down here and slap some on.
- Yeah!
- Right, here are the ends.
- Yep, here we go.
(jam splattering)
- My jam!
- Sticky, isn't it (laughs)
- Right, look at this,
take hold of the other end.
Now (laughs)
- Hooby hooby hooby.
- Hooby hooby hooby tug!
(rope boings)
- Oh, Hooby bother!
- And Hooby blow, the
jam wasn't sticky enough.
Do we have anything stickier?
- [Computer]
(echoing) Hubba Hubba.
- Hooble doop, Hoobs!
Do you have that
Hoobytug fixed yet?
- Not yet, Hubba Hubba, but
we think we could fix it
if we could find
something really sticky.
- Hmm, something really sticky.
- Yeah.
- Well, I've heard
that the Tiddlypeeps
know all about sticky things.
Why don't you ask
them for advice?
- Oh that's a good idea,
thank you Hubba Hubba.
I'll go and ask
some Tiddlypeeps.
- And I'll wake up
those Motorettes
and drive us there. Come on!
- And I'll finish
the jam! (laughs)

- Hello Iver!
- Want to do a Hooby Hello?
- Yes!
- Hooble doop, Hooble
doop, woop woop woop!
- Can you show me some
things that are sticky?
- What about sticky tape,
they're stickier one side.
- Ooh, that looks very useful.
It's a bit like Hoobytape.
- What about some glue?
- Oh, that's a
bit like Hoobyfix.
Have you got any
other sticky things?
- This is a sticky label,
it's sticky on the back
and you can write or draw
things on the front like this.
- I see.
- And then, you can
stick it to things.
- (laughs) It stuck to itself.
- Oh, that's Hoobacious.
You wouldn't have anything
else that's sticky, would you?
- Yes, what about
lovely sticky toffees?
- What is it?
- You unwrap the wrapper
and then you eat it.
Would you like to try one?
- Yes I would.
- Yes please.
Oh thank you, Inez.
Well we've got lots
of sticky things now.
(munches) Thank
you for your help.
(munches)
But I must be getting back
to the Hoobmobile now.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
(upbeat piano music)
- The Tiddlypeeps knew about
a lot of sticky things,
didn't they?
Do you think any of them would
work for fixing the Hoobytug?
- No, 'cause I tried
all these sticky things
that Hubba Hubba
sent from Hoobnet.
The glue wasn't strong enough,
the sticky tape ripped off
and so did the sticky labels.
But I did order some
of those toffees
that the Tiddlypeeps had.
- Toffees!
- Look!
- Ah, Hoobygroovy, Tula.
(Iver mumbles)
- Mind you, it's not
all that bad, is it,
because I used the sticky
tape to mend the rip
in the Hoobytug bag.
- And I've worked
out how to remember
what jam is in which pot.
You draw a picture of the
fruit on a sticky label
and stick it onto the pot.
This one is Hooboberry.
And here is a label for the
last jar of Heebleleaf jam.
Now-- (Iver mumbles)
- I thought I had another
jar of Heebleleaf jam.
- Er, yes you did,
Tula, but I ate it.
(Iver mumbles)
- Iver, what is the matter?
- It's the Hoobygroovy
toffee, isn't it?
- Oh, has it stuck
your mouth up?
- [Iver] Mmmhmm!
- That's Hoobacious!
- [Iver] Mmhmm?
- If it's sticky enough
to stick up your mouth,
then maybe it's sticky
enough to mend the Hoobytug!
(Iver tries to talk
with mouth closed)
- Ah, maybe we should help
him get his mouth open first.
(Groove mumbles)
- [Iver] Mmhmm!
- You take the top, Groove,
I'll take the bottom.
(Iver squeals)
(loud popping)
- Ahh, ohh, yes.
Right, now for the Hoobytug.
Where are the other toffees?
(Groove tries to talk
with his mouth closed)
- Groove, we needed those
toffees for the Hoobytug.
- (mumbles and groans)
(mumbles) Help yourself.
- Ugh.
(Groove mumbles)
(loud popping)
- Toffee...
Hoobytug...
Toffee on Hoobytug. (groans)
There. Ready?
- Ready.
- Hooby, hooby, hooby,
hooby hooby hooby tug!
(rope boings)
- Oh, Hooby bother! We'll have
to think of something else.
- [Computer] (echoing) Roma.
- Roma!
(electronic whooshing)
- Hooble doop, Hoobs!
I got an email from
you, Iver, earlier,
asking me about ways of
fixing things together.
Well, I'm in a place
where peeps make clothes,
and on the table here
I've got Hoobloads of
stuff called haberdashery.
- I beg your pardon, Roma,
did you say Hoobadashery?
What's Hoobadashery?
- Ha! No, Tula, haberdashery!
It's a word peeps
use to describe
things to do with
making clothes.
Now, look, I've got all
these things they use
to fix clothes with.
For example, this is a zip.
And here's a button.
And over here I have
a lot of ribbons,
but my personal
favorite is this stuff.
(hook-and-loop fastener ripping)
Isn't that a Hoobacious noise?
(hook-and-loop
fastener rips) Ha!
- Hooby galooby, what
is that stuff, Roma?
- It's called a hook-and-loop
fastener, Hoobs.
You sew a piece onto each
thing you want to join up
and then stick them
together like this.
(Groove laughs)
All the little
hooks on one piece
hook into all the little
loops on the other piece.
- Wow!
- Fantabbyhooby, isn't it?
- Hoobacious!
- Oh, Hooby bother.
It seems to have
got stuck to me!
Get off! Get off!
This is Roma Hoob,
hooked, looped
and going to get some help.
Hoobletoodledoo!
(mutters) Get off, get off!
- [Hoobs] Hoobletoodledoo!
- Well, buttons and
zips and ribbons
aren't any use to us, are they?
But that stuff that made the
funny noise looked Hoobacious!
- I wonder if Hubba
Hubba could get us some?
- No need to bother Hubba Hubba!
I've already found some!
(hook-and-loop fastener ripping)
- (laughs) It was
in my collection of
things that make a
Hooby groovy noise.
- Oh Groove, thank you!
Well, now all we need
to do is fix this stuff
to the Hoobytug, but how?
♪ How how how ♪
♪ How how how how how ♪
♪ How ♪
- This is how.
- Well done Tula!
- Yeah.
- Now let's stick the
two ends together.
- Right, mmhmm!
- Ooh!
- It's looking good!
- Let's try it out,
come on Groove!
You take that end.
- Yep.
- And I'll pull
against you, ready?
- Hooby hooby hooby,
hooby hooby hooby tug!
(rope boings)
(Iver screams)
Now what?
- D'you know what?
That's just given me a
really Hooby groovy idea.
- [Computer]
(echoing) Hubba Hubba.
(electronic whooshing)
- Hooble doop, Hoobs!
- Oh, Hooble doop, Hubba Hubba!
- Have you found
out what you can use
to fix the Hoobytug yet?
- Er, no, we thought we'd
just found the answer,
but we hadn't.
- But we have found a way
to stick up the top
of the Hoobytug bag.
Look, open (laughs)
close, open, close.
- That's fantabbyhooby, Groove!
- Yes, but just being able
to open and close the bag
doesn't fix the
Hoobytug, does it?
- We just can't seem to
find anything sticky enough!
- Ah, well I have the feeling
that sticky is not the answer.
- Why?
♪ Why why ♪
♪ Why why why ♪
- Because I have a story
here from a Tiddlypeep
which you might
find interesting.
(electronic whooshing)
(upbeat oboe music)
- [Tiddlypeep] There was once
a piece of string called Sammy
who lived in a
useful things box.
Now Sammy String was very sad.
(sad oboe music)
He lay at the bottom of
the useful things box
and sighed a great sigh.
(sad sigh)
- What on Earth's
the matter, Sammy?
- [Tiddlypeep]
Asked Rosie Ribbon.
- I'm fed up with
just lying here.
- [Tiddlypeep] Said Sammy.
- Nothing ever happens,
and I never get taken away
and used for anything.
- Well it's your own
fault, if you ask me.
- [Tiddlypeep] Called
Shirley Shoelace.
- You don't do
anything for yourself.
- Like what?
- [Tiddlypeep] Asked Sammy.
- Well, look at
Rosie, for instance.
Go on Rosie, show him your bow.
- All right.
- [Tiddlypeep] Said Rosie shyly,
and she quickly tied
herself into a lovely bow.
- Wow!
- [Tiddlypeep] Said Sammy.
(upbeat oboe and flute music)
- That's why Rosie's
so useful, you see.
- [Tiddlypeep] Said Shirley.
- She makes the prettiest
bows you've ever seen.
- So why are you useful?
- [Tiddlypeep] Asked Sammy.
- Because I do bows, too!
- [Tiddlypeep] Laughed Shirley.
- I'm a shoelace, aren't I?
Shoelaces have to make bows.
- [Tiddlypeep] And
she showed him.
(energetic flute music)
- What could I make then?
- [Tiddlypeep] Asked Sammy.
(sad oboe music)
- Knots!
- [Tiddlypeep] Replied
Shirley firmly.
- String is best for knots.
Look, I'll show you.
(upbeat guitar music)
- [Tiddlypeep] And
she showed Sammy
how to tie both ends
of himself together
to make a really good knot.
Soon Sammy was busy
practicing his knots,
and in no time at all
he became one of the
most useful things
in the useful things box.
(electronic whooshing)
- A knot, that's it!
- Hoob hoob hooray!

Hooble doop, Tiddlypeeps!
- Hooble doop, Iver!
- I see you have
some string here,
please, could you show
me how to tie a knot?
- What's the knot for?
- It's to mend our
broken Hoobytug.
We need to tie the two
ends together again.
- This is how you do it.
You get the two pieces
of string together,
wind them through the
middle, and you pull.
- Hooby galooby,
do you know that's just
what I wanted to know?
Let me try and remember that.
That's round, through the
middle, and then you just pull.
That's... will
you show me again?
(upbeat music)
- And there is your knot.
- Oh, thank you!
I must dash now before

Hoobletoodledoo!

Thanks to the Tiddlypeeps
the Hoobytug bag
handle has been mended
using knots and string! (laughs)
- [Computer]
(echoing) Hubba Hubba.
- Oh well done, Hoobs!
So, are you ready to
give me what you've got
on fixing a Hoobytug
for my Hoobopedia?
- We're ready, Hubba Hubba!
(upbeat rock music)
- Hooble doop 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 can we use
to fix our Hoobytug?
- [Iver] It all started
when our Hoobytug broke
right in the middle
of a Hoobytug!
- [Tula] The first
thing we found out
was that there are lots
of ways to fix things.
- [Iver] We thought that the
best was to fix our Hoobytug
would be to use something
sticky, like Hoobyfix.
- [Groove] But we were
all out of Hoobyfix,
so we used Tula's
jam instead (laughs)
but it wasn't sticky enough.
- [Iver] The
Tiddlypeeps then told me
about all sorts
of sticky things.
Sticky tape, glue,
sticky labels,
but the thing I liked best
was the sticky toffee.
- [Tula] Toffee may be sticky,
but it isn't good
for fixing things.
- [Groove] But the sticky
tape did mend the split
in the Hoobytug bag.
- [Tula] And the sticky
labels were Hoobily groobily
for labeling jam pots.
- [Iver] Roma found out all
about some stuff that was sticky
and made a Hoobacious noise!
(hook-and-loop fastener ripping)
- [Groove] Sadly, it was no
good for fixing the Hoobytug,
but it was great for
sticking together
the top of the Hoobytug bag!
- [Tula] Then Hubba
Hubba sent us a story
which showed us that we
could mend the Hoobytug
by tying the ends in a knot.
- [Iver] Only we didn't
know how to tie a knot.
Until the Tiddlypeeps showed me!
So the answer to the question
what can we use to
fix our Hoobytug is
- A knot!
- And so, it's thanks once again
to Iver, Tula, Groove and Roma
for giving Hoobs
everywhere a little peep
into the world of peeps.
And remember, wherever you are,
have a nice day and
Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
- Right, who's for a Hoobytug?
- Ooh, me!
(they laugh)
- I'll play in a minute
after I've finished
this last pot of jam.
- Hooby hooby hooby tug!
- Tug!
