(mellow bluesy music)
- No, no, that's not it.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, I can't find Harry Hue
and the Hoobettes anywhere.
- Well, you should
stack them up, Groove.
- Hmm?
- One on top of the other.
- Yeah.
- Like this.
(humming)
(gasps) You've got
Hooblife, I love Hooblife!
- Yeah, me, too, yeah.
- Oh (laughs), I
didn't know you liked
the Smashing Hoobnibs!
- Yeah, loads, er, actually,
Tula, don't stack them up
'cause then I can't
see which CD is which.
I can only see the
top one (laughs).
Oh, move your paw, yeah.
Aw, Hoobsay, no,
I want to listen
to Harry Hue and the Hoobettes.
- Harry who?
(somber music)
♪ Who, who, who ♪
♪ Who, who, who ♪
- Not Harry Who, Harry Hue,
Harry Hue and the Hoobettes.
They're my favorite band.
- I've never heard of them.
(Tula gasps)
- Never heard of them?
But you must have, Iver,
they're really hoobygroovy.
I'll play you some,
if I can find them.
- Groove, why don't you
put your CDs away properly?
- Because every time I
put them away properly,
I can't find the one I want.
- Ha, you can't find
the one you want now.
- Yeah.
- Hmm.
How can Groove store his CDs
so he can find the one he wants?
- [Computer] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- That's it, Tula,
you've hit the question.
- How can Groove store his CDs
so that he can find
the one he wants?
Oh, what an excellent
question, and one I'm sure
every Hoob will want
to know the answer to,
especially me, ha!
- Why's that, Hubba Hubba?
Do you like Harry Hue
and the Hoobettes, too?
- No, I'm more of a
Shaking Hoobs fan, myself.
(Groove laughs)
Anyway, I've got Auntie Hattie
coming over for tea, and
I was going to treat her
to my biggest hoobnip (laughs).
- Nice.
- But I can't
find it anywhere.
- Oh.
- Now if I had
a better way of
storing my hoobnips,
I'm sure I'd find
it straightaway.
- Yes, um, um, um,
back on the subject
of storing CDs, Hubba Hubba?
- Eh, what, what?
Oh, yes, of course,
here you are.
You can start by looking
at what I found on Hoobnet.
(signal warbling)
(upbeat music)
Now look, Hoobs,
those lady peeps
are packing things away
in boxes, do you see?
- [Groove] Yeah.
- [Hubba Hubba] Boxes look
hoobacious for storing things,
don't they, Hoobs?
Wooden boxes, cardboard boxes.
Look, you can even store
bottles of water in boxes.
How fantabihooby!
I think I might get some boxes
myself, you know! (laughs)
(signal warbling)
- (gasps) Ah (laughs),
found him, here's Harry Hue!
Can I play it to you now, Iver?
- No, Groove, we must
test out some boxes
to see if that's the best
way to store your CDs.
- Well, of course it isn't.
- [Both] Why?
♪ Why, oh, why ♪
♪ Why, why ♪
(triumphant music)
- Because if I put
all these in a box,
I'm still not gonna be able to
find the one I'm looking for.
They'll all just get muddled up.
- Oh, dear.
- Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma.
- Oh, it's Roma!
Maybe she's found a better
way to store things.
- [Roma] Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
- Um, Roma, are you there?
- Hoobygalooby!
- Oh!
- Ah, that's better.
- Where are you, Roma?
- Well, Tula, I'm reporting
from inside a wardrobe.
A wardrobe is a great, big box
that peeps use to
store their clothes in.
- Ah, but, erm, Roma, we
already know about boxes.
- And they won't work.
- Mm.
- Aha, but when peeps put
their clothes in a wardrobe,
they hang them on one of these.
- Oh, what's that?
- It's called a
coat hanger, Iver,
but you don't have
to hang a coat on it.
It works just as well
for shirts, tops,
jackets, blouses, you name it.
- You can't put a CD
on a coat hanger, Roma.
- Well, no--
- Eh.
- But maybe you could find
some other way of
hanging up your CDs,
because the other wonderful
thing about hanging things up
is that you can see
exactly what you've got.
Let me show you.
Now imagine if you were looking
for this fantabihooby
red jacket, oh!
(all laughing)
Oh, hooby bother.
Well, imagine first that it
hasn't fallen on my head.
You'd be able to find it easily
if it were hanging up
with the other clothes.
Oh, er, er, hanging
up is hoobacious!
- Oh, poor Roma.
- Oh, don't worry, Tula,
I'm quite all right.
This is Roma Hoob under a
jacket, hoobletoodledoo!
- [Iver, Groove, And
Tula] Hoobletoodledoo!
- Oh!
(signal warbling)
- Oh.
- Right.
We've got to hang
up Groove's CDs.
Then he'll be able to
see them at a glance!
- Okay, but how?

Hoobs, in my hoobypod.
- Oh.
- Ooh,
if I could hang up my hoobnips,
sleeping would be so
much more comfortable.
- But we don't even
know how to hang CDs up,
Hubba Hubba, let alone hoobnips.
- Well, why don't you go
and ask the Tiddlypeeps?
- The Tiddlypeeps, of course!
- Oh, I'll go, I'll go!

- Do you want to
do a hooby hello?
- Yes.
- [Both] Hoobledoop,
Hoobledoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!
- Why have you got all those
clothes in that basket?
- They've just been washed.
- Hmm, so what are you
going to do with them now?
- Hang them up to dry.
- Well.
- Erm,
(gasps) hanging
up, hoobygalooby!
We've been trying to find
out about hanging up.
So how do you hang
up wet things?
- You hang them on this line
and then the wind dries them.
- Right, of course (chuckles).
But they're clothes,
so that means
you're going to use
a hanger, aren't you?
- No, we don't use
hangers on a washing line.
- Oh, well, then how do you
keep them from blowing away?
- You use these clothes pegs.
- (gasps) Clothes pegs.
- Clothes pegs.
- Hoobygalooby.
Oh, they're just
like hooby pegs.
Wait a minute,
that's a good idea.
Why didn't we
think of it before?
Find the hooby pegs, Iver!
We can peg up Groove's CDs!
- I certainly will, Tula.
- Thank you, Tiddlypeep.
I've got to get back
to the Hoobmobile now,
but have fun hanging
out your washing.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
(cheerful music)
(gentle music)
- Ah, shall I listen
to track five,
track, whoa!
- Careful, oh! (laughs)
- Track three, track
two, or track one first?
Track five is
really my favorite,
but then I do like track two.
- There, oh, and Groove,
one bag of hooby pegs.
- Aha!
- Hey, hoobelly groobelly
washing line, Iver.
- Ah, yes, thank you.
- Okay, so we know
that pegging up
is the answer to the question.
Now can we play my Harry Hue CD?
- Ah!
- In a minute, Groove.
First we have to test
it out, remember?
- Oh.

one CD off at a time.
- Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
(signal warbling)
- It's Hubba Hubba.
- Hubba Hubba.
- This hanging idea
is hoobledoobledooper
for my hoobnips.
(laughs) How are you
getting on, Groove?
- Oh (sighs), don't
ask, Hubba Hubba.
Just don't ask.
- Ooh, as bad as that, is it?
- Yeah.
- Well, have a look
at a story I've
found on Hoobnet.
It might just help you.
(signal warbling)
(cheerful music)
- [Narrator] Amila had an
old wooly coat called Conner.
They would go out in the
cold and rain together,
and Conner would always
keep Amila warm and dry.
But there was one thing
that Conner didn't like.
Whenever they got
in from their walks,
he was never hung up
with all the other coats.
Amila couldn't reach
the coat stand.
- Oh, dear.
- Oh.
- [Narrator] So she hung
him on the doorknob.
(Amila humming)
"Oh, I do wish I
could be hung up
"like everyone
else," sighed Conner.
"Don't be ridiculous,"
said Vera,
a very expensive tweed coat.
"You're far too old and dirty
"to be hung on a hook with
us," said Alan the anorak.
"It's not fair," said Conner.
Then one day, Amila hung
him on the doorknob and--
(whimsical music)
(Hoobs gasping)
It broke off!
- Oh!
- [Narrator] Poor old Conner
fell in a heap on the floor.
(Conner grunts)
"Ouch!"
(coats laughing)
"You're not even good enough
"to hang on a doorknob
now," said Alan.
"No, the place for you is
in a heap on the floor!"
(coats tittering)
When Amila's dad saw
what had happened,
he said, "We'll get you a
hook especially for your coat,
Amila, a hook that
you can reach."
(Amila laughs)
And so Amila's dad
went and got a hook, a special
hook with a sticky back
to stick it to the wall.
And from that day on,
Conner was always hung
on his special hook
that was the just the
right height for Amila.
"I got my own hook!"
he said proudly.
"I want a hook of my
own," snapped Vera.
"So do I," moaned Alan.
"It's not fair."
- (laughs) Oh!
- Sticky hooks, eh?
Oh, what a hoobacious idea.
- Hoobnet is so
hoobelly groobelly.
I've got hoobloads
of sticky hooks here.
Oh, let's try one out.
Er, let's stick it, um, here!

- (laughs) Hoobygalooby, you
Tiddlypeeps are really good
at making things.
- Thanks, Groove.
- (laughs) Do you think you
could make me something?
- Of course.
- What sort of
thing do you need?
- Well, it needs to
be shaped like a hook.
- We can do that.
- You can?
Hoobygroovy (laughs), oh,
yeah, but it has to be
small enough to go through
the middle of a CD.
- That's okay, too.
- Really, well, how
are we gonna do that?
- We can make you some
hooks out of pipe cleaners.
- Oh, thank you (laughs).
Do you hear that, Iver, Tula?
These Tiddlypeeps are
gonna make us some hooks
out of pipe cleaners!
- Yes! (laughs)
- Yes, yes.
- (clears throat) What
are pipe cleaners?
- These are.
- They're really bendy.
(Groove gasps)
- And you can make them
into any shape you like.
- Of course, something bendy!
That's what we
need to make hooks.
- Watch.
(cheerful music)
- Oh, why didn't
I think of that?
Hmm.
- There you are, Groove.
- Look at those hooks!
They're perfect for
hanging up CDs (laughs).
Iver, Tula!
- Yes!
- Order some pipe cleaners
from Hoobnet right away.
- Oh, yes--
- Yes, yes!
- Course I will.
- Ah, thank you, Tiddlypeeps.
- Go, go!
- That's all right, Groove.
- I'm gonna get back to
the Hoobmobile right now
to hang up my CDs.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- [Children] Hoobletoodledoo!
(Groove laughs)
(cheerful music)
- These pipe cleaners
are hoobelly groobelly.
- Yeah, they're
hoobygroovy (laughs).
- Let's test them out then.
Groove, pass us
your Harry Hue CD.
- All right.
- Oh!
- Well, it seems to work.
- And if we bend a
hook into the other end
of the pipe cleaner, we can
hang a hook on a hook (laughs).
- And hang up the
Shaking Hoobs CD.
- Oh, yes.
(Iver laughs)
And the Hooblife CD.
- That's right.
- Hoobygroovy!
This is the answer!
- [All] Hoob Hoob hooray!
- Oh, no, no, no,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
How are we going to
hang the chain up?
- Um.

- Ah, oh, no, it's nearly
time for Hoob News!
- Oh, calm down, Iver,

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 Groove store his CDs
so he can find the one he wants?
- [Iver] First, Hubba Hubba
showed us how the peeps
keep lots of things in boxes.
- But I knew that the CDs
would just get all
muddled up in a box.
- [Tula] Then Roma
told us about peeps
hanging their clothes
up on coat hangers.
- And this gave us the
idea of hanging my CDs up.
- [Iver] So Tula went
to ask the Tiddlypeeps,
and they gave us the
idea of using hooby pegs.
- But I wasn't happy about
pegging Harry Hue up.
I thought the CD
might get scratched.

♪ Will solve the

♪ We should try what

♪ This nice device

- But you couldn't
take just one CD off
without getting in a mess.
- [Iver] When we saw the
story, we realized that a hook
would be the perfect way
to store Groove's CDs.
- But the hook was too big,
and it wouldn't go through
the hole in the middle.
Oh, the hooks are too big
and they won't go through.
♪ The hooks are too big

♪ Yes, the hooks are too big

- So Groove went to see

looking for whenever I want.
- What a marvelous invention!
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,
hang loose, and hoobletoodledoo!
