Tula!

- Yeah?

- I was just sorting

through my collection

of things from long ago

- Yeah

- And look what I found.

It's Hubba Hubba,

with an old hooby

twizzle tiff style.

- Twizzle frizz

- Yeah twizzle frizz.

Do you know I never had

a twizzle frizz myself

but I did have

twizzle stick ups.

Hey, I had a hooby groovy idea.

- This is the most hoobly,

groobly twizzle frizz

I have ever seen!

- Hooble doop hoobs.

Groove, you've got

twizzle stick ups.

- Yeah, are they

hooby groovy or what?

- I bet you used to have twizzle

stick ups didn't you Iver?

- Oh no,

no I wasn't a twizzle

stick up kind of hoob.

I had a,

- [Tula & Groove] Yes?

- Well actually I

had a twizzle frizz.

- A twizzle frizz,

well that's just

like Hubba Hubba.

- Well Hubba Hubba

taught me how to do it.

- Isn't the photo

hoobly groobly.

- It is hoobly groobly,

but you must put it down,

we wouldn't want

Hubba Hubba to see it.

- Why?

♪ Why, why, why ♪

♪ Why ♪

- Because we're laughing

at it that's why.

We don't want Hubba Hubba

to see that we're laughing.

It might hurt his feelings.

(phone ringing)

Hooble doop, Iver Hoob speaking.

- [Telephone] Hello

- It's Hubba Hubba.

- What?

I'll hide it, I'll hide it.

- He's in the phone Groove,

he can't see the photo.

- Oh yeah.

- Wait a minute.

Why is he on the phone,

why isn't he on the

hooby computer screen?

- We'll get it fixed

right away Hubba Hubba.

Our hooby computer's

broken down,

that's why Hubba Hubba

was using the hoobo phone.

- That sounds like a job for me.

- Just as well we have

the hooba phone Iver.

- Oh abso-hooby-lutely Tula,

without the hoobo phone,

Hubba Hubba wouldn't

have managed

to get a message to us at all.

- No.

- Oh I've stuck Hubba

Hubba's picture up

so we don't miss him while

the computer's not working.

- I do hope you get it

to work soon Groove.

We need a question

for Hoob News.

- Peeps have phones

too don't they?

- Yes Tula, yes.

- I bet they haven't

always had phones though.

- No, no I'm sure they haven't.

- So how did peeps send

messages before telephones?

(phone ringing)

- Hooble doob?

It's Hubba Hubba.

- What's he saying?

- He said how did peeps send

messages before telephones?

- Oh what a hooble

dooble duper question

for today's Hoob News.

(laughing)

- Groove.

But if the hooby computer's

broken Hubba Hubba,

you won't be able to show

us anything from hoobnet

to start us off.

He says why don't we do

what hoobs used to to do

in the days before hoobo phones,

pay a visit.

- [Tula & Groove] Pay a visit?

- A visit to the tiddly peeps.

Will you email Roma Hubba Hubba?

- [Telephone] Of

course I'd be delighted

- Thank you.

- [Telephone] See you soon

- All right.

- [Telephone] Hooble toodle doo

- Hooble toodle doo.

- I'll go and see

the tiddly peeps.

- You can't go with

twizzle stick ups Groove,

what ever would the

tiddly peeps think?

- Oh all right.

- I'll go.

- And I'll drive.

- I think the tiddly

peeps would think that

my twizzle stick ups

were really hooby groovy.

- Seatbelt

(b*ating drums)

- Hooble doop tiddly peeps

(b*ating drums)

- Hooble doop tiddly peeps

- No need to shout Iver.

- Sorry um, do you want

to do a hooby hello.

- [Kids] Yes

- [All] Hooble doop, hooble

doop, whoop, whoop, whoop

- So while you've stopped

playing for a minute,

can you help me with

a bit of peep history.

- Of course Iver.

- We're trying to find out

how peeps sent messages

before telephones?

- Well a long time ago they

did it by banging drums,

like us.

- Someone will

bang out a rhythm,

that meant a certain thing.

(banging drums)

- And somebody else would reply

(banging drums)

- And then you can have

a whole conversation

(banging drums)

- Oh thanks tiddly peeps.

That was lots of help, you can

get back to your playing now.

- Okay Iver, thanks.

- Hooble toodle doo

(banging drums)

Oh nevermind.

I can't wait to try

out drum outs Tula.

- Well now's our chance, ta da!

- Hoobacious.

Now who's good at

making a lot of noise?

(banging)

- Sounds like

another job for me.

Lucky I've just finished

fixing the hooby computer.

- Well done Groove.

- Okay, here it goes.

(banging drum)

- No, no, no, no

stop, stop, stop.

- What's wrong?

- The beats of the drum

have got to mean something.

I know, let's start

with a hooble doop.

This is, hooble doop, hooble

doop, whoop, whoop, whoop.

- Hey that's hooby groovy.

- Yeah and this is,

hooble toodle doo.

(tapping)

- Well this is,

please will you send me

a big cheese sandwich

(banging drum)

- Oh yeah, right groove,

now we've learnt

banging language,

you go up to the roof garden

and send us a message.

- Okay.

- So um we have to work out

what Groove is trying to say

to us in banging language?

Right.

(banging drum)

- Well what was that?

The hooble doop?

- I'm not sure,

might have been a hooble toodle

doo, or it might have been

please could you send me

a big cheese sandwich.

- How hooby groovy was that hey?

- We couldn't hear it properly.

- You were too far away Groove.

- Oh I was only on

top of the hoobmobile,

what did peeps do

in the olden days

when they wanted

to send a message

to someone in the next village?

- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba, Hubba

- Oh it's Hubba Hubba.

Oh no the photo!

Groove!

- The photo?

Oh!

- Hooble doop hoobs,

oh Groove you've got

twizzle stick ups.

You won't believe this you know,

but I used to have

a twizzle frizz.

(laughing)

Well now then, here's

an interesting thing,

did you know that

hoobs in the olden days

used to send messages

by flying pie.

- Flying pie?

- Yes, ancient hoobs

would bake a pie you see,

put the message in

pastry on the top

and then use an enormous

catapult just like this,

to whizz it across to

their hooby friends.

- That is the best

idea I have ever heard.

(banging drum)

- Oh what does that mean Groove?

- It means forget the

big cheese sandwich,

I'd like a flying pie.

(laughing)

- Now I'm glad you fixed

the hooby computer,

because I found the most hooble

dooble duper story for you,

here it is.

- [Narrator] A long time ago,

in a time before telephones,

there lived a man called Ken.

He shared his little

house with a mole,

a monkey,

and a pigeon.

One day Ken decided

that he'd like to invite

his brother Jim for tea.

Jim lived some way away.

So he wrote a message

and gave it to the mole.

Take this to Jim,

and the mole set off.

The mole burrowed underground

and in no time at all had

found his way to Jim's house,

but the message was too

muddy to understand.

So Jim never turned up for tea.

Jim can't have got my message,

oh well I'll try

using the monkey.

So he wrote another message

and gave it to the monkey.

The monkey swung

from tree to tree,

and in no time at all had

found his way to Jim's house.

But the message was too

tattered and torn to understand,

so Jim never turned up for tea.

Hmmm Jim can't have

got my message.

Oh well, I'll try

it using the pigeon.

So he wrote another message

and gave it to the pigeon.

The pigeon flew

high above the trees

with the message in his beak,

and when it reached Jim,

he could read it perfectly.

But as Ken waited for

Jim to arrive for tea,

he was quite surprised

to see the pigeon return

with a message from Jim

and this is what it said,

I don't like tea, can you

make me some coffee instead?

Ken smiled and wrote

back, of course.

And from then on the

brothers spoke by pigeon

every single day.

should definitely test out

sending messages.

- Using pigeons is a hoobly

groobly way of sending messages

to your friends

who live far away.

- But not too far away,

I feel like it's too tiring,

those poor pigeons.

- You're right.

Pigeons can take a message

further than a drum can

but not very far.

Surely someone will know

if there's a way

of sending messages

to a friend a long way away.

- Yes,

but who?

♪ Who, who, who, who, who ♪

♪ Who ♪

- [Roma] Roma, Roma

- Roma that's who.

- Hooble doop hoobs.

- [All] Hooble doop Roma.

- Hubba Hubba tells me

you're trying to find out

how peeps send messages.

Well I've found out about a

hoobacious way they do it.

- What's that big red

thing next to you Roma?

- Just wait a minute Groove

and I'll get to that.

- Right, sorry.

- That's all right now,

do you know what this is hoobs.

- Is it something to

do with the big thing?

- Yes Groove it is.

It's called an envelope.

When peeps want to send

letters to each other,

they put them in an envelope,

and then post them.

- Post them?

- Yes Iver.

To post your letter,

all you have to do is write

your friend's name and address

on the envelope and stick

a stamp in the corner,

like this.

- So what's the big

red thing for Roma?

- Oh I'm getting to that Groove.

Special peeps called postmen,

take your letter and deliver it

to whoever you've written it to.

Isn't that fantaby hooby.

- Yeah, and the big red thing?

- Oh yes, I almost forgot.

This big red thing

is called a post box.

Once your letter's ready

and in it's envelope,

all you have to do is

pop it into one of these.

- Oh what for?

- So that the postman

will know where to find it

of course.

Your letter usually

gets where it's going

the very next day.

Well unless it's going

to the North Pole,

then it might take a bit longer,

but it will get there.

- Oh posting letters

sounds hooby groovy.

- It certainly is Groove.

And now I'm going to post mine.

This is Roma Hoob

sending a letter,

hooble toodle doo.

- [All] Hooble toodle doo

- Oh hooby bother,

I can't reach.

I say has anybody got a ladder?

- Wow,

letters are so

hoobly groobly

and they can travel right

across the peep planet.

- Who are you sending

your letter to Tula?

- Just to a special friend,

just to say how

much a I love them.

- Oh, that's hoobacious

- Finished,

and there is a post

box right outside.

- So,

letters were invented

before the telephone.

I wonder how peeps got the

idea for the telephone Groove.

- Oh I don't know.

But it's not as good an

idea as the flying pie.

- [Hubba Hubba] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- Oh it's Hubba Hubba

- Hooble doop hoobs.

- Hubba Hubba

- Yes?

- Do you know how the peeps

got the idea for the telephone?

- No Iver.

But I bet those tiddly

peeps will know.

- Hoobacious idea!

- I'll go.

- Groove, Groove,

you're dressed as a pigeon.

Why don't you drive me there?

Oh come on.

- Hooble doop tiddly peeps.

Tiddly peeps?

I wonder where they are?

Oh what's this tin doing here?

- [Kids] Hooble doop Iver

- Hooby ga-looby

there you are, hooble doop,

that's really strange I

just heard you in this tin.

- That's cause we're talking

to you through this tin.

- Oh I see, these two

tins are joined together

with a long piece of string.

Can you see that

Groove and Tula?

- [Groove & Tula] Yes

- The sound of your voice

goes along the string

when you pull it tightly.

So if you speak into this tin.

- You can hear our

voices in that tin.

- That's hoobaciously clever.

Well it even looks a

bit like a telephone.

- Children have been playing

with tins like this for ages

even before the telephones.

- Oh so tins and string

came before the telephone?

- Yes.

- Do you want to have a go Iver.

- Oh yes please.

- Pull the string tightly

- [Kids] Hooble doop Iver.

- Hooble doop tiddly peeps.

Well then that is amazing.

- Would you like to

take them back with you?

- Could I?

- Of course, we can

always make some more.

- Thanks tiddly peeps.

- Oh yes.

- Hooble toodle doo

- [Kids] Hooble toodle doo

- Hooble doop can

you hear me Iver?

- Yes I can.

I can.

Hooble doop Groove.

Isn't this a hoobacious way of

sending each other messages.

- It's hooby glooby.

- Oh!

Groove.

- Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

Well hoobs I didn't get

a chance to start you off

with something from hoobnet.

So why don't I finish

you off with something.

Take a peep at the way peeps

send each other

messages nowadays.

- Oh

- Now the peeps send messages

so many different ways.

They use computers

like us hoobs.

There's a telephone you see.

That's a laptop tiny computer.

That's a fax machine

and another computer.

There's a mobile phone you see,

and you can send

messages like that,

or you can use the

drums Groove just.

- Hooby ga-looby, peeps

have come such a long way

in such a short time.

- Yeah well that's

all very nice,

but nothing beats the

flying pie if you ask me.

- Forget the flying pie Groove,

it's time for Hoob News.

Come on quickly, into

the hooby studio.

- I'll be there soon.

There's just something

I need to do.

for my great hoobapedia.

- 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 did peeps send

messages before telephones?

- [Iver] First of

all some tiddly peeps

told us about how ancient peeps

sent messages by banging drums.

- [Tula] But then we saw

a story about a pigeon

who took messages from

one brother to another.

- [Iver] Then Roma told

us all about letters,

and how they can be sent

all over the peep planet.

- [Tula] So I tested this

out by sending a letter

to a special hoob friend.

- [Groove] Then the tiddly

peeps showed us two tins,

joined together by

a piece of string,

that looked like the early

idea for the telephone.

- [Tula] And Hubba

Hubba showed us

all the hooble dooble duper ways

that peeps send messages now.

- So a perfect peep,

into peep history.

- [All] Hoob, hoob, hooray.

- So it's thanks once again

to Iver, Tula, Groove and Roma.

For finding out about

how peeps send messages

and for giving us a

little peep into the world

of peeps.

And remember wherever you are,

have a nice day and

hooble, toodle doo!

- [All] Hooble, toodle doo!

- Well drums, and pigeons,

and phones and letters

are all very well,

but I don't think any

of them b*at the flying,

pie!

Hooby ga-looby,

and there's a

message on the top.

Eat me.

Ah, now that's what

I call a message.

- I made it myself

especially for you Groove.

- Oh thanks Tula.

- Um it looks hoobalicious.

You're very lucky Groove.

- Oh Iver don't be sad,

you're goona get a hoobly,

groobly treat tomorrow morning.

- Am I?

- Oh yes,

you're the special friend

I've posted the letter to.

- Saying how much you love me?

Oh,

Tula.
