- 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 Hoobapedia!
Here they come!

- Oh!

(gasping)
♪ The Hoobs are here
so what do you say ♪
- [All] Hoobs!
- Tula, Iver, I found
my hooby batamatic
so we can go to the beach now.
Tula?
Iver?
Aw, they must've gone.
Well, it did take
me a little while
to find you didn't
it, hooby batamatic.
Wait a minute you're chipped,
and there's a big chunk
missing out of you!
Oh no, you're all
knobbly and rough
and hooby batamatics are
supposed to be smooth.
(laughing)
- Oh that beach was hoovacious!
Look at the rock I found!
- Where were you, Groove?
- My hooby batamatic is chipped!
- Oh, well it probably
got knocked around
when we landed here
on the Peep planet.
- But how could it, I
had it all wrapped up
safe and sound in
the hooby picnic mat.
(rustling)
- Groove be careful!
- Here Groove, you're
getting sand everywhere!
- Well where did it come from?
- Well we were on
the beach, remember?
And we had out picnic
on the hooby picnic mat
which was not wrapped around
your batamatic by the way.
And when I picked it up,
well I must've brought
some sand back.
- Some sand?
There is sand everywhere!
- Well what's the problem,
sand can't hurt you, can it?
- Well it hurts if
it gets in your eyes!
- And it can get stuck
in you twizzle tuft
and it can ruin
a good hooby bun!
- Oh yes, sand in a hooby bun!
(retching)
- Yeah, let me try.
(chewing)
Yeah it's a bit gritty, but hey,
I wouldn't want to waste it
just because of a bit of sand.
- I've been thinking,
if sand hurts your eyes, and
gets stuck in you twizzle tuft
and can ruin a good hooby bun,
then why do Tiddlypeeps like
going to the beach so much?
- Because it's fun!
- But sand isn't fun, is it?
I mean how much fun
can you have with sand?
♪ Hubba, Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba ♪
- How much fun can
you have with sand?
That really is a
fantaby, hooby question
for today's Hoob News!
- Thank you, Hubba Hubba!
But I'm not at all sure
you can have fun with sand.
- Well, if that's
what you discover,
then that's what I will
put into my Hoobapedia.
I will have to enter, no
fun to be had with sand.
- We could do a different
question, Hubba Hubba.
We could do, how
can we make Groove's
hooby batamatic smooth again?
- You could, yes, you could.
But the Hoobs on
Squirrelgon are asking,
do the Squirrelgonians have
anything like a hooby batamatic?
And I think one
batamatic question
is enough for today's Hoob News.
- Besides, there could be
something fun about sand!
We just need to find out what.
- Well I can tell you one thing,
there's a lot of sand
on that Peep planet!
Have a look at Hoobnet to
see what I found on it.
(machine whirring)
There you are, what
did I tell you?
Look at all that sand!
Now there's a sandy shore.
Look at those great
big piles of sand!
And there's a Peep, walking
up the pile of sand.
(upbeat music)
Just look at all that sand!
And there's some
more sand by the sea.
(machine whirring)
(gasping)
I have to say sand looks
hooble dooble doopa!
- Well, there's
certainly hoob-loads
of sand on this Peep planet!
There must be a reason for it!
- Well let's hope
it's a fun reason!
(laughing)
- Abso-hooby-lutely, Tula!
I'll email Roma to see
what she can discover.
- Where does sand come from?
- That's a very interesting
question, Groove.
I'll see if any other
Hoobs out there know.
- Oh no I found another
chip on my hooby batamatic!
- We'll deal with your
batamatic later, Groove.
Now we need your help with
our question for Hoob News!
- Ah ha, just as I thought!
Roob Hoob is in Sandonia and
knows where sand comes from!
Here's what he said to me,
what do you call
a small boulder?
- A rock?
- Uh huh, and what do
you call a small rock?
- A pebble?
- And what happens to pebbles?
- Hm.
- [All] I don't know.
What?
♪ What, what, what, what ♪
- I'll tell you what.
Pebbles get bashed by
the wind and the sea
over and over again.
They become smaller, and
smaller, and smaller until.
(gasping)
- Pebbles turn into sand!
- Exactly!
- So you mean if the wind
and water bashed away
at my rock for long enough,
it would turn into sand?
Hooby galooby!
(laughing)
- No wait a minute!
Not with my hooby
batamatic you don't.
- Oh but it could
be fun, Groove!
And we're trying to
find out if sand is fun!
- Yeah, but you wouldn't
be having fun with sand,
you'd be having fun
with my batamatic.
- Oh, you're right.
- You said before, that
the Tiddlypeeps like
going to the beach
because it's fun!
Well they must know if
there's anything fun
you can do with sand.
So I suggest a trip
to the Tiddlypeeps.
- I'll go, but
only if you promise
to leave my batamatic alone.
- I'll drive!
Let's get those
Motorettes singing!
(upbeat music)
- Seatbelt Tula.

see the Tiddlypeeps!

- Hi there, Tiddlypeeps,
what's your names?
- My name's Emma.
- And I'm Harry.
- And I'm Max.
- So, what are you
doing here, then?
- We're playing the
grab a hoop game.
- How do you play that?
- You start at this chair.
- [Groove] The chair?
- [Harry] You go
through the cones.
- [Groove] Through the cones.
- [Harry] In the tunnel.
- Ooh I like the tunnel.
- [Harry] Grab a hoop.
- [Groove] Grab a hoop!
- [Harry] Go all
the way back again.
- I see!
Well, it looks
like a great game,
but actually I was
hoping you might
be having some fun with sand.
- Yes, we are!
- Where is it then, I
can't see sand anywhere.
- Here it is.
- I've never seen one of
those before, what is it?
- It's a timer, we use
it to time our game.
- I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Oh, you mean before all
the sand in the top bit
runs into the bottom bit.
- Yes, we'll show you.
Ready, set, go!
(upbeat music)
(laughing)
- I get it now!
So you are having fun with sand,
that's hooble-dooble-duper!
Time up!
(laughing)
Hey, thanks so much for
showing me, Tiddlypeeps.
I better get back to
the Hoobmobile now.
Hooble-toodle-doo!
- [Kids] Hooble-toodle-doo!
(Groove laughing)
(upbeat music)
- So the Tiddlypeeps use sand
in a timer how hoobly-groobly.
- Yeah, right, where's
my hooby batamatic?
- Just there where you left it.
(laughing)
- Didn't get any smoother
whilst I was away
with the Tiddlypeeps did it?
- Did you think it would?
- Well, a Hoob can hope.
- Do you think we could use
some of this sand in here
to make our own timer?
- To make our own timer?
How?
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how how ♪
♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪
♪ How ♪
- Here's how, have
a look at this!
If I put the sand in
here, it will trickle down
into the bottle and
we can start timing!
All we need now is
something to time.
- How about playing
shouty hooba-booba's?
- Yes, let's see how
many hooba-booba's
we can count before
the sand runs out.
- Yeah, I'll do
the timing, right?
(rustling)
Ready, go!
- [Both] One hooba-booba,
two hooba-booba's,
three hooba-booba's,
four hooba-booba's,
five hooba-booba's,
six hooba booba's,
seven hooba booba's,
eight hooba booba's,
nine hooba booba's.
- Stop.
- hooba-booba's!
- Oh hooba-booba's!
- Oh that must be a record!
It was hoobly groobly fun!
- You know, when
you think about it,
we weren't really
having fun with sand.
No, no, no, the sand was useful,
but it was the shouty hooba
booba game that was fun.
- Yes it was, shall
I do it again?
- [Man] Roma, Roma.
- Oh no, there's
no time now Tula.
Roma's coming through
with her report.
(machine whirring)
- Hooble doop, Hoobs,
Hubba Hubba emailed me
to see what I could
find out about sand.
So, I come here to a rather
special patch of sand.
Although it doesn't look
like anyone else is here,
I'm actually not alone at all.
I'm surrounded by
hundreds of snippy,
oh, oh, nippy, oh,
pinchy little crabs!
Reporting from out here
on the Peep planet
is a tough job.
But this Hoob is proud to do it!
Even if it means being
here among all these crabs
as they bury themselves
under the sand.
Oh, there goes one now!
Can you imagine Hoobs
living in a home
made of gritty, itchy sand?
- No!
- Ooh, no.
- And still, crabs seems
to think beaches like this
are home sweet sandy home!
You won't shift them
from the sand in a hurry
mainly because once they're
in, you can't see them.
The sand helps to disguise them
and stops them getting
gobbled up by things
that might want to eat them.
But I know the crabs are here
because I saw them
burying themselves.
Oh, a bit too close to my
hooby paws for comfort!
Oh dear, I think
some of these crabs
are coming out
for a look around.
Oh, oh!
This is Roma Hoob about to get
her hooby paws nipped by a crab!
Hooble toodle doo, oh!
(machine whirring)
- [All] Hobble toodle doo Roma!
- Hey, burying yourself
in sand could be fun!
- Oh no, if you did that
you'd never get it out
of your twizzle tuft!
- Yeah and it'd be
all itchy and scratchy
and rough like my
hooby batamatic.
So, let's tell Hubba Hubba that
you can't have fun with sand
and change the question to,
how can we make Groove's
hooby batamatic smooth again?
- Oh, it's tempting.
- But we can't do that.
♪ Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, ♪
- Oh good, here's Hubba Hubba.
(machine whirring)
- How's it going Hoobs?
- Not too well.
We're stuck.
We can't find anything
fun about sand.
- Ah, that's because you
haven't seen this story.
I had a little peek and I think
you just might find it useful.
(machine whirring)
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] There
were once two cheetahs
called Raj and Dodge.
They lived happily on a
plain not far from the sea
and they slept on the
branches of a thorn tree.
Except Dodge didn't do
as much sleeping as Raj.
He wanted to, but he couldn't.
- My branch is isn't
at all comfortable.
- [Narrator] He moaned.
- It's all knobbly and rough!
- Oh Dodge!
You want to make your
brach all smooth like mine?
- Oh yes!
- [Narrator] Said Dodge.
- Smooth would be good.
How do I make my
branch smooth, then?
- The way to make
a branch smooth.
- [Narrator] Said Raj.
- Is to rub it with sandpaper.
- Ah.
And where exactly am I supposed
to find sandpaper
on a plain, huh?
- You make your own like I did.
- [Narrator] Cried Raj.
- What a great idea, Raj!
- [Narrator] Said Dodge.
And Dodge leapt
down from the tree
and grabbed a sticky leaf.
Then he ran to the nearby beach
and smeared sand
all over his leaf.
Then he dashed back
to his tree again.
He rubbed, and rubbed
his knobbly rough branch
with his sandpaper.
- Rubadubadubadubadub!
- [Narrator] Bit by
bit all the nobbles
and lumps and bumps got
smoother and smoother.
I bet you'll get a
good night's sleep
on that lovely, smooth
branch, cried Raj.
Oh smoothing things
is so much fun!
I haven't got time to sleep.
I've to carry on smoothing.
Rubadubadubadubadub!
But that night
Dodge was so tired
after sandpapering
that he stretched out
on his lovely smooth branch
and had the best
night's sleep ever.
(machine whirring)
- Hooby galooby!
You can make something
smooth using sand!
Well that's it, that's it!
Quick, I need some paper!
(upbeat dramatic music)
(Groove muttering)
All right then!
Okay, something sticky!
(upbeat dramatic music)
- Maybe there is something
fun you can do with sand.
Dodge the cheetah seemed happy.
- Okay, which do you think,
Hoob-o jam, or Hoob-o blubber?
(stammering)
- Hoob-o fix is stickier.
- Brilliant!
(upbeat dramatic music)
- What was that about?
- I don't think it's over yet.
- Excuse me, excuse me, sorry.
There we are.
Okay.
Glue on paper.
(upbeat music)
And sand on glue.
(rustling)
And here it is!
My very own sandpaper!
- Well, done Groove,
that is Hoobly groobly!
- But here comes the fun part,
I will now use the sandpaper
to smooth my hooby batamatic.
(scraping)
- Is this fun for you?
- No.

- Hooble doop whoop, 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.
- How much fun can
you have with sand?
- [Iver] At first
we didn't think
you could have
any fun with sand.
- [Tula] But we thought
there had to be something
fun about it because
there's so much of it
on the Peep planet.
- [Iver] Then Hubba Hubba
found out from another Hoob,
that sand comes from
rocks that have been
bashed by the wind and water.
- [Groove] I went out
to see the Tiddlypeeps,
they were playing
a hooby groovy game
and using sand in a timer.
- [Tula] So I built
a timer and we played
shouty hooba booba's.
- [Iver] We discovered that
though sand was useful.
- [Tula] The fun part was
shouting the hooba booba's.
- [Iver] Then Roma told
us all about creatures
who hide in the sand.
- [Groove] But we didn't
think that burying ourselves
in the sand would be fun.
- [Iver] Then we found
out the best thing ever!
It was in a story
from a Tiddlypeep.
- [Groove] It was all
about Dodge the cheetah,
who made his branch smooth
by rubbing it with sandpaper.
I made my own
sandpaper and I used it
to rub my hooby
batamatic smooth.
- [Tula] The Tiddlypeeps
told us something
that was fun for everyone!
- [All] Building a sandcastle!
- So the answer to the question,
how much fun can
you have with sand,
is hoobloads when you're
building a sandcastle!
- 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, whatever you're doing,
have a nice day and
hooble toodle doo!
- [All] Hooble toodle doo!
- Right then, where
are you going?
Don't you want to
play hooby batamatic?
- No thanks, Groove.
We're having far too
much fun with the sand!
- Yes!
