- Hmm, I think
Hubba Hubba's right.
That is the best
picture I have ever done
on the hooba computer.
I can't wait to print it out.
(machine boings)
(machine whirring)
Ivar, Groove, come quickly!
- [Iver] Coming Tula!
- What's the matter?
(printer boings)
(head bangs)
(printer crashes)
(printer boings)
- Oh dear.
- Oh, Groove, you've
broken the hooby printer.
- Oh I'm sorry Tula.
Are you all right Tula?
- Yes, I just wanted
to show you my picture
that Hubba Hubba's going to
put on display on HoobNet.
The best picture I've ever done.
The picture I was
about to print out.
- Oh Tula, I was an accident.
I'll mend it, today, I promise.
- Let's see your picture.
Come on.
- I don't want to
show it to you now.
- Ah, please Tula I bet
it's really hoovy groovy.
Well actually, it is
quite hoovy groovy.
- Ah, go on show it.
Go on show it, show it, show it.
Oh, all right then.
(light guitar music)
(printer clicks)
Ta da!
So, what do you think?
Hoobily-groobily or what?
- [All] Uh, yes!
- It's um.
- Yes, it's very um.
- What do you mean, very um?
It's the most hoobacious
picture I've ever done!
- Oh yes of course it is, Tula!
It's just that um.
- [Tula] It's just that what?
- Well...
- What?
- What's it suppose to be?
I mean, it must be a
picture of something
because it's so,
well, hooby groovy.
- But what?
♪ What ♪
♪ What, what, what ♪
♪ What ♪
♪ What, what, what ♪
- It's a vase of Hooby flowers.
That's what.
- Oh, no it isn't.
It's Auntie Hattie Hoob
from where I'm standing.
I mean look, look.
There's a yello twissle
toft, and that's her nose.
- No, no, no, no it's not.
Look, look it's a bonfire.
With great big leaping
flames, well from down here.
- Let's have a look, Groove.
Oh, you're right it does
look like a bonfire.
- Oh, hooby bother!
I thought I'd done
the best picture ever
of a vase of flowers!
Obviously, I was wrong.
- Huh? Ooh, oh!
- Aw, Tula.
Oh, come one, cheer up Tula!
Look, look it's the most
hooby groovy picture ever
because it can be so
many different things.
- Depending on which
way you look at it.
- Yeah, exactly.
The question is,
what's the best way to
look at Tula's picture.
- [Machine] Hubba, Hubba
- Groove, you're right!
That is the question.
The question for Hoob News!
- What is the best way to
look at Tula's picture?
- That's a hooble-dooble
duper question
for today's Hoob News Hoobs!
(laughs)
After all, once the
picture's on HoobNet,
Hoobs everywhere are going
to want to look at it
in the best possible way.
- [Groove] Yeah.
- Yes, you're right Hubba Hubba.
Now, perhaps the peeps
have different ways
of looking at pictures.
Let's see what we
can find on HoobNet.
(machine whirring)
- Um, ha!
How about this?
(machine whirs)
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] Oh, look!
They're all sitting down
looking up at that picture.
Ooh, she's gone to the
side to look at that one!
Looking at pictures
from different angles
seems to be very important.
Somebody looking at a
picture from a long way away.
They're very close
there, you see?
Oh, and that peeps
painting at an odd angle.
(machine whirs)
- Hooby-galooby, there
are a lot of ways
of looking at
pictures aren't there.
- I say this was
a pretty good way.
You can really see how much
work you've put into this, Tula.
- It's pretty amazing
from here too.
- Nah, I still like it best
from underneath myself.
- Hmm, I wonder if
there are any other ways
of looking at it.
- [Machine] Hubba, Hubba!
- Ah, here's Hubba Hubba.
Maybe he's got the answer.
- I haven't got the answer,
but I have found a story that
might give you another angle.
Take a look.
(machine whirs)
(dramatic music)
(owl hoots)
- [Narrator] Once, there was
a little bat called Cecile
who hated being upside down.
Whenever he even thought
about being upside down,
his legs went all wibbly-wobbly.
(laughing)
This is bad news for a bat
because bats need to be
able to hang upside down
in order to go asleep.
There is no way I am hanging
upside down, Cecile said.
I'm a right way up bat,
not an upside down bat.
I'm going to find
somewhere else to sleep.
(rhythmic orchestral music)
First of all,
he found a little
whole under a hedge.
But suddenly a fox
appeared and said,
This is my whole, you'd
better move out quick.
Or else.
Cecile scurried away
and found another hole
under the root of the tree.
But a badger came
snuffling along.
This is my hole, he shouted.
You'd better move
out quick, or else.
Poor Cecile.
I'm going to have to be an
upside down bat after all.
Cecile flew onto the branch.
His friends all
gathered round him.
You can do it, Cecile!
It's easy, watch!
They all turned
themselves upside down.
Eventually, Cecile
took a deep breathe
(gasping breath)
and let himself
hang upside down.
Open your eyes Cecile,
squeaked the others.
I can't, said Cecile.
Don't be silly,
squeaked his friends.
The view's beautiful!
(soft harmonic music)
Slowly, Cecile opened one
eye and then the other.
(gasps)
Wow, This is the best view ever!
And from that day on, Cecile
became an upside down bat
just like all his friends.
(lighthearted music)
(machine whirs)
(sighing)
- Perhaps we should be looking
at Tula's picture upside down.
- Exactly!
After all, Cecile said
that hanging upside down
gave him the best view ever!
- Hmm, but Cecile
is a bat, Iver.
Bats hang upside
down, Hoobs don't.
- Hmm, true.
- I mean, how could a
Hoob be upside down?
We can't bring a
branch in here, can we?
Oh, this question is
proving really difficult.

- Yeah well, Auntie Hattie
Hoob often hangs upside down
from her hooby hanger
but you haven't got a hooby
hanger there, have you?
- No.
- No, I tell you what.
I'll email Roma if you like
and ask her what
she can find out
about being upside down
on the peep planet.
Hooby-galooby, I'm sure Roma
would love to turn upside down.
- Yeah.
- Quite, but in the meantime,
why don't you go and
visit the Tiddlypeeps?
Well, there awfully good
at looking at things

Hooby-galooby, that's amazing
- Hooble-doop, Tula!
- Would you like to
do a hooby hello?
- Yes!
- Hooble-doop, hooble-doop,
whoop, whoop, whoop!
- What's your names?
- I'm Claire.
- And I'm Rebecca.
Well Claire and Rebecca,
what you were just doing
was hoobily groobily.
I was going to ask
about being upside down.
How would you do it.
- It's easy, watch.
(upbeat music)
- So, you bend over.
You kick your legs in the air
and another Tiddlypeep
grabs your feet.
Yes, and they're
upside down, mm-hmm.
- And look Tula, I
can do it on my own.
(upbeat music)
What do you think?
- That is the most hoobily
groobily thing I have ever seen!
And it's just what
we're looking for.
Thank you so much!
- That's okay, Tula.
- I better get back
to the Hoobmobile now,
and turn some Hoobs upside down.
Hooble toodle-doo!
- Hooble toodle-doo!
(upbeat music)
- Yep, there we are.
As good as new.
Tula will be really pleased.
(laughs)
(heads bang)
- Oh, I'm sorry Groove!
(printer boing)
- Oh no, not again!
(spring twangs)
- Did you see that?
Did you see that?
- No, not really Tula.
I was too busy mending
the hooby printer.
I can't do two things
at once, you know.
Well, I'm going to have
a go at the handstand.
Come on.
(upbeat bluesy music)
Right, we'll see what it looks
like upside down, here goes.
Whoo!
(laughs)
Whoa, You've just
got to try this!
- Huh, Tula that's hoobacious!
- Yeah.
- Let me try.
(clears throat)
There we go.
(laughs)
- Actually, it's not
as easy as it looks.
- Careful Iver, oh!
- Ow!
Oh, ooh!
(laughs)
- It's all right, is it?
- Yeah, oh sorry.
- Hey, maybe it's a girl thing.
- Groove, I've got an idea.
- Yeah?
- Copy me.
- Copying you.
- [Tula] Yeah, come on Groove,
get you're legs in the air.
(grunts)
- [Iver] Ah ha, I'm up!
(grunts)
- [Groove] Oh, so am I!
- [Tula] Right,
what can you see?
- The wall
(grunts)
- Oh, hooby bother!
We managed to turn
ourselves upside down
but we can't see the picture
from that angle at all.

we can see the picture
upside down, but how?

- Oh, that's Roma!
Maybe she'll have the answer.
- Hooble-doop, Hoobs!
- Hooble-doop, Roma!
- Now, Hubba Hubba's asked me
to find out all about upside
so I've come here
to this bainebridge.
- But how's a bridge going to
help us go upside down, Roma?
- Well Hoobs, it's
not the bridge itself.
It's what's happening
underneath it.
- Underneath it?
- That's right, Iver.
Just over there, some peeps
are about to go bungee jumping.
- Bungee Jumping?
That sounds hooby groovy.
It certainly is, Groove.
The peeps start the right way up
but then they tie an elastic
rope to their leges you see
and then when they bungee
jump, they end up upside down.
- But what is bungee
jumping, Roma?
- Wait a minute, Tula!
One of the peeps is about
to bungee jump right now!
Watch this!
- Whee!
(laughs)
- Oh, can you imagine
a more exciting way
of getting upside down Hoobs?
I certainly can't so I'm
off to have a go right now.
- Be careful Roma!
- Yeah.
- Don't worry Iver.
I've got my elastic
rope firmly tied on.
This is Roma Hoob, off to get
upside down under a bridge.
Hooble toodle-doo!
- Hooble toodle-doo!
- That was the most
extraordinary thing
I've ever seen.
- Yeah, hooby groovy.
- Yeah, it looks to me like
being on the end
of a bungee rope
is a very good way
of being upside down.
- Yes, but don't you
think that bouncing
would get in the way
of seeing the picture?
- Well let's try it, without
the upside down bit first.
- Boing, boing, boing
Boing, boing, boing, boing
- No it's no good,
it's not good!
It's impossible to see
the picture properly
with all this bouncing.
- Yeah, just think about
how much worse it would be
if we were upside doing and
going boing, boing, boing.
- What are we going to do?
We're running out to time!
- [Machine] Hubba
- Oh, it's Hubba Hubba.
He's bound to help us.
- Cheer up Hoobs.
I still think the
Tiddlypeeps hold the answer.
After all, they came
up with the handstands.
- Right, I'll go.
- Oh, I thought you were mending
the hooby printer, Groove.
- Oh, yeah right, yeah.
- I'll drive you Tula.
- All right.
- Ya, I'll step right
over there, have a...

Hooble-doop, Tula.
- Have you been painting?
- Would you like to see?
- This is beautiful.
- Thanks, Tula.
- I've just painted a picture.
I think it might be
my best picture ever.
- What's it of?
- I thought I knew what it was
but then Groovy and Iver looked
at it from a different angel
and they thought it
was something else.
- Yes.
- Oh, so what are
you going to do?
- Well, we think it might
be best if we look at it
when we're upside down.
- You don't need
to be upside down.
- What do you mean?
- Well, you can turn your
picture upside down instead.
- What?
- That's a hoobily goobily idea.
Oh, but the thing is my
picture's on the screen
on the hooby computer
not in the Hoobmobile.
- Well, is there any way
you could turn the hobby
computer upside down?
- I'm not sure, but
it's a good idea.
It can't be any harder than
turning a Hoob upside down.

- Yeah.
- Thanks so much, Tiddlypeep.

It's an octopus!

- And I'll tell you something
that's even more hoobacious,
I've mended the hooby
printer, which means...
- Yes, I can print it out.
- Yeah, actually you could
have printed it out all along

[Machine] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba
- Well now, Hoobs.
Are you ready to give
me your Hoob News
for my great Hoobapedia?
- We're 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 Tula.
- I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question.
- What's the best way to
look at Tula's picture?
- I thought I'd done a picture
of a vase of Hooby flowers.
But when I looked
at it from the side,
I thought it looked
like Autie Hattie Hoob.
- [Groove] And when I looked
at it from underneath,
it looked like a bonfire.
- Then Hubba Hubba
came to our rescue.
And we saw how many
different ways peeps
have of looking at pictures.
- [Iver] So we tried
lots of different ways
of looking at Tula's picture
but we still couldn't decide
what the best way was.
- [Groove] Then Hubba
Hubba found us the story
of Cecile the bat.
- [Iver] And that
gave us the idea
of looking at the
picture upside down.
- [Groove] But we didn't
know how to get upside down
without a branch to hang from.
- [Iver] So Tula went
to see the Tiddlypeeps
who showed her how
to do handstands.
- [Groove] But we
couldn't see the picture
when we were upside down.
- [Iver] We could only see
the wall straight ahead of us.
- [Tula] Then Roma told
us about bungee jumping.
We thought we'd test out
the bouncy part of it
before we worried about
the upside down part bit.
- [Groove] But bouncing
didn't work because,
well the picture
went all wobbly.
- [Tula] So, we went
to see the Tiddlypeeps
and they came up
with the answer.
- [Iver] Instead of turning
ourselves upside down
Hubba Hubba turned the
picture upside down.
And then, it was the most
hooby groovy octopus.
- Ta-da!
- Hooble dooble-doopa.
I shall display it both
ways on HoobNet Tula,
so Hoobs everywhere will
see how clever you've been.
- Thanks Hubba Hubba.
- And now, for my next trick.
- What?
- Watch!
(machine beeps)
(laughs)
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, whichever way
up you are, have a nice day
and hooble toodle-doo!
Hooble toodle-doo!

right, ready and aha!
