- Hooble-dook 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!
♪ You know who the Hoobs are ♪
- Iver!
- Groove!

- Ah!
♪ The Hoobs are here,
so what do you say ♪
- [Hoobs] Hoobs!
(calming piano music)
- Oh, I did it.
I did it!
- What did you do, Iver?
- Well I woke up
early all on my own!
- But Iver, it's not early.
Look, it's already daylight.
(gasps)
We were trying to wake up before
the sun came up, remember?
- Oh.
I just don't understand it.
Every day we get up at
the same time as the sun
and every day we seem to
have less and less time
to get ready for Hoob News.
It was never like this before.
- No, but why?
♪ Why why why ♪
♪ Why ♪
- I don't know why, Tula.
It's a mystery.
Wake up, Groove!
- What?
Have we done it?
Have we woken up
before the sun came up?
- No.
(groans)
- Oh no, now I won't have
time to polish everything
in my collection of Hooby groovy
things that need polishing
in time for Hoob News.
- Nevermind the
polishing, Groove.
We won't have time for Hoob
News unless we hurry up.
- I'm going to have to
polish really really fast.
- And we're going to have to
think up a question
really really fast.
- How can a Hoob wake
up early in the morning?
- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba Hubba.
- There you are.
I thought up a question
really really fast.
- How can a Hoob wake
up early in the morning?
Now there's a fantabby Hooby
question for Hoob News.
- Thanks, Hubba Hubba.
- I'll email Roma and
ask her to go looking
for ways of waking up.
- As soon as she can
come up with something,
the better, Hubba Hubba.
You see, every day,
we wake up when the sun
comes up and every day--
- You run out of time to polish
your Hooby groovy collection
of things that need polishing.
- Exactly.
- Oh, what's that long,
dangly Hooby groovy thing
you're polishing now, Groove?
- I don't know, Hubba Hubba.
It's Hooby groovy all the same.
- It certainly is.
Now, let's see what I can find
out about the sun coming up.
Perhaps that will give us
some ideas to start us off.
Mhm, ah!
Here we go.
I have discovered the sun
coming up is called a sunrise,
bringing all these
beautiful colors to the sky.
Rising over the deserts,
the seas, and the oceans,
and over cities all
across the Peep planet.
And it says here that
for part of the year
on the Peep planet,
the sun rises later
in the morning!
Fancy that!
- Oh, so the sun
is rising later.
That's why the
day seems shorter.
- Yeah, and that's why I have
to polish really really fast
to get my Hooby groovy
things polished.
- Exactly.
But, it's the same
for the Tiddlypeeps
and they manage to
get everything done.
- So the Tiddlypeeps must
get up at the same time
every day no matter
what time the sun rises.
- But if we were to get
up before the sun rises,
how would we know it wasn't
still the middle of the night?
- Well, we'd need to
know what time it was.
- Well, yeah, but how?
♪ How how how how ♪
♪ How how how ♪
♪ How how how how how ♪
- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba Hubba.
I think I might know how, Hoobs.
Some Tiddlypeeps
have sent in a story
all about a way of finding
out what time it is.
- Thanks, Hubba Hubba.
What would we do without you?
- Well, maybe that's a
question for Hoob News.
What would we do
without Hubba Hubba?
(laughs)
Only joking, Hoobs.
- [Narrator] Once upon a time,
there was a young
giant called Gog.
He lived in the mountains
with his big brother, Thog.
Thog was in charge
of making thunder.
Every day, when the day was
exactly halfway through,
Thog climbed to the
top of the mountain
and banged two big
rocks together.
Thog was tired of
making thunder.
- I want to make wind!
- [Narrator] So he decided
to go away to giant school
to learn how to make wind.
- You are in charge
of thunder, Gog.
- [Narrator] And off he went.
- Yippee!
I've always wanted
to make thunder!
- [Narrator] There
was only one problem.
He had no way of telling
when it was halfway
through the day.
At that moment, a
tiny golden sun fairy
landed on Gog's shoulder.
- What you need is a sun dial.
- [Narrator] She said.
So she built him a sun dial
with all the numbers
written around the edge.
She put a stick in
the middle of the dial
and fixed it with
a blob of clay.
- When the sun
shines on the stick
and the stick shadow goes
halfway around the sun dial,
that means it's half
way through the day.
- Well that's clever.
- [Narrator] So Gog rushed
up to the top of the mountain
and made lots of
really loud thunder.
(thunder crashes)
When Thog came home,
he was really pleased.
- You shall be head of thunder.
And I will be head of wind.
- Hooby-galooby, I
need my Hooby bits box.
- What for, Tula?
What for, Tula?
- I'm going to make a
sun dial, of course!
- But how?
♪ How how how ♪
♪ How how how how how ♪
♪ How ♪
- Here's how.
- Oh, Tula, you are a
really hoobacious Hoob
when it comes to
knocking things up.
Groove, Groove, Groove!
Tula's made a sun dial!
- Sun dial?
That sounds Hooby groovy.
- Right, let's see if we
can see that shadow move.
I can't see a shadow at all.
- Neither can I.
- Groove, we can't see a shadow!
- Oh, that must be annoying.
Maybe it'll work if you try
it on the Hooby roof garden.
- Why?
- Why?
♪ Why why why why why why why ♪
♪ Why why why why
why why why why ♪
- Because the sun's out
up there, that's why.
- Of course!
The shadow that helps
you tell the time
is made by the sun and
there's no sun in here.
Come on.
- Oh, and just one more thing.
Well, if we want to
know what time it is
before the sun rises, well the
sun dial won't work, will it?
- It won't?
- No, because the
sun won't have risen
and the sun dial needs
the sun!
- The sun!
- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba Hubba.
- Oh, perhaps Hubba
Hubba has another idea.
- I don't have
another idea, Hoobs.
But, I know who might.
- [Hoobs] The Tiddlypeeps!
- Of course!
- Yeah, I'll go.
I need some help polishing
this Hooby groovy dangly thing.
- And I'll drive!
Let's get those
Motorettes singing.
(laughs)
(sighs)
- Seatbelt, Iver.
- Yes.
We're off to see
the Tiddlypeeps!

- Hooble-doop, Tiddlypeeps.
- Hooble-doop, Groove.
- Hooble-doop, Groove.
What have you got there, Groove?
- It's something
from my collection
of Hooby groovy things
that need polishing.
I wonder if you can help me.
- Of course!
- Aw, thanks.
We don't seem to have time
to fit everything
in during the day.
- Why is that?
- Well, usually, we get
up when the sun gets up.
But now the sun's getting
up later so we do too.
We've got lots to do
to get Hoob News ready
and we keep running late.
- Maybe you should
get up earlier.
- Oh we're trying to
but we need a way of knowing
what time it is so that
we'll know when to get up.
- What about a watch?
They tell you what time it is.
- This one even
glows in the dark.
- Oh, Hooby-galooby.
So you can see what time it
is before the sun goes up?
- That's right.
- Iver, Tula, did you hear that?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Order one of these
glowing watches
from HoobNet right away.
So, what time do you think
will be a good time to get up?
- Seven o'clock would be good.
- And if we have a watch,
we'll know when that is.
Hah, Hooby groovy!
- Here, Groove,
it's polished now.
- Aw, thank you, Tiddlypeeps.
That's really kind.
Well, I better get back
to the Hoobmobile now
and wait for our
watch to arrive.
Hooble-toodle-doo!
- Hooble-toodle-doo!
- Hooble-toodle-doo!
- Just look at this watch!
- Hey, just look at
my shiny dangly thing.
Just a bit more buffing up
and it'll be the shiniest
thing in my collection
of Hooby groovy things
that need polishing.
- Let's make sure we
can see it in the dark.
- Oh yes, yes, better
test it out, Tula.
- Oh, Groove, please may I
borrow your Hooby duster?
- Oh yes, all right, Tula.
But you better be quick.
- Oh, yes, I'll be very quick.
Come on, Iver.
- Right.
Cover top.
Let's go underneath.
(Tula gasps)
- [Tula] I can see it!
- [Iver] Oh, it's hoobacious.
It's glowing away in the
dark for all it's worth.
(Tula and Iver laughing)
- Great, I can
have me cloth back.
Thank you.
- Oh well, we've got the answer
and it isn't even
time for Hoob News.
- Just one thing.
We now have a way
of knowing the time
if we wake up before
the sun rises,
but how are we going to wake up
in order to look at the time?
Just a thought.
- Groove's right.
The question is how can a
Hoob wake up early, Iver.
Not how can a Hoob tell the time
if a Hoob just
happens to wake up.
Oh, this is too bad.
- [Announcer] Roma.
- Oh, never fear.
I'm sure Roma will have some
hoobacious information for us.
- Hooble-doop-poobs.
- Hooble-doop, Roma.
- Hooble-doop, Roma.
- So, you were
looking for something
to wake you up in the morning.
Well, I've got the answer.
It's this, a fantabby
Hooby grandfather clock.
It's big, it's beautiful,
and best of all,
it makes a terrific noise.
- But we need something
that makes a noise
and tells us the time
in the dark, Roma.
- Oh, keep your
twizzle tuft on, Tula.
I'm just coming to that.
Inside the case,
there's a special
thing called a pendulum
that goes back and forth.
It's long and shiny and dangly,
and it looks just like--
- Hooble-doop, Roma.
(gasps)
- It looks just like that!
That shiny thing that
you've got there, Groove.
It's a pendulum.
What it does is
go back and forth
inside the grandfather
clock like this.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Then, the grandfather
clock goes bong!
Every minutes.
And every hour it bongs
the number of hours.
(clock chimes)
(gasps)
Four bongs, Hoobs.
That means that it's four
o'clock and time for my tea.
Hooble-toodle-doo.
- [Hoobs] Hooble-toodle-doo.
- That grandfather clock
was hooble-dooble-duper.
- I'm going to order one
from HoobNet right away.
- Oh, so now we know
what will wake us up
and tell us the time.
- Now I know what my lovely
shiny dangly thing is.
A pendulum.
Tick tock, tick tock.
- Our very own grandfather
clock will be here in two ticks.
- Tick tock, tick tock.

Tula.
- Oh.

I've got it, I've got it.
- I'll take it all

Oh!
(panting)
- Well, how hoobacious is that?
(clock bongs)
- [Hoobs] Hooby-galooby!
- Now we'll know
what time it is.
- All day long!
And all night long as well!
- Now look, if that thing's
gonna make a noise like that
all through the night,
we'll never get any sleep.
- You're right, Groove.
- A grandfather clock is not
the answer to the question.
- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba Hubba.
I say Hoobs, what a
hoobaciously noisy clock.
I'm all for a good
bong you know.
Bong! Bong! Bong!
- Yes, Hubba Hubba.
But the bongs will
keep us awake all night
so we need another idea.
- Well, the best
place to find an idea
is with the Tiddlypeeps.
- Right, I'll go and
talk to some right away.
- I'll drive!
Are you coming, Groove?
- Me? No, no, no, Tula.
So much to do, so little time.
- Come on, come on, come on.

- I wonder if you
can help us, Millie.
- What's the problem?
- We're trying to find a way
to wake up early in the morning.
- What about a clock?
- Well, we had a grandfather
clock because it made a noise
and we thought that
would wake us up
but it made a noise
every minutes!
We want something that
only makes a noise
when it's time to wake up.
- That's easy.
You need an alarm clock.
- An alarm clock?
What's that?
- One of these.
It wakes me up every morning.
- Hooby-galooby, that sounds
like just what we want.
Tula, Groove, order an alarm
clock from HoobNet right away.
Could you show me
how it works, please?
- What time do you
want to get up?
- Seven o'clock.
- Right, so you set
the alarm to seven.
- Oh.
- And then the alarm goes
off at seven o'clock.
(alarm rings)
- Hooby-galooby,
that alarm is so loud
it'll even wake Groove up!
Oh, thanks ever so much, Millie.
I better get back to
the Hoobmobile now
and see if our clock's arrived.
Hooble-toodle-doo!
- Hooble-toodle-doo!
- You know, all this polishing
has made me really sleepy.
Still, nice shiny pendulum.
- This alarm clock
is hoobly-groobly.
- Oh Tula, let me see.
Oh fantabby-hooby.
Does it work?
- Let's test it on Groove.

- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba Hubba.
So Hoobs, are you ready
to give me your Hoob News
for my great Hoobapedia?
- [Hoobs] We're
ready, Hubba Hubba!
- Then take it away!
- 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 can a Hoob wake up
early in the morning?
- It all started because
the sun was getting up later
and so were we.
- So we ran out of time
before we could do all the
things we needed to do.
- [Tula] First we found out
that the part of the year
the sun rises later
on the Peep planet.
- So we had to learn a
way of telling the time
so we could get up earlier.
- We heard a story about a
giant who used a sun dial.
- [Tula] But that wasn't the way
we'd be able to tell
the time at night
because a sun dial only
works when there's sun.
- [Groove] Then the
Tiddlypeeps told us
about watches that
glow in the dark!
- [Iver] A watch could
tell us the time at night
but it wouldn't wake us up.
- [Tula] Then Roma found
a grandfather clock
that made lots of noise.
- [Iver] But we
couldn't stand that
every minutes all night long.
- [Tula] Then the Tiddlypeeps
told us about a clock
that only makes a noise when
you want it to wake you up.
- An alarm clock!
- An alarm clock!
(alarm rings)
(Groove yells)
(Hubba Hubba laughs)
- Oh, I still like
the big bong best.
Bong! Bong!
(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, wherever you are,
have a nice day and
hooble-toodle-doo!
- [Hoobs] Hooble-toodle-doo!
(grandfather clock chimes)
(Hoobs groans)
- We've got to get rid of
this grandfather clock!
- What?
- I said we've got to get rid
of this grandfather clock!
