dooby do it like, this.
- [Ivor] Like, oh
yes, this, yes.
- Hooby dooby do it like, that.
- [Ivor] Like, like that, yeah
- Hooby dooby do it like, this!
- Like what?
Like uh,
(laughing)
am I doing this right?
- Yes Ivor, you know
the rules of copyhoob.
- Hmm, remind me.
- If I say hooby dooby
do it, then you do it.
But if I leave out the hooby
dooby and just say, do it!
Then you don't do it.
It is so easy.
(indignant laugh)
So, hooby dooby
do it like, this!
- Oh (laughs).
- Now do it like this.
- Like, oh, there.
(squeals)
What, what, what?
- You did it, I caught you
out, I didn't say hobby dooby
but you still did it!
- Your turn.
- No, thank you Toola, no, no.
I think I'd better
start thinking up
a question for Hoob News.
- (sighs) And I was
just getting into it.
(hums)
(huffs) Groove!
Groove!
(bored groan)
- (laughs) Oh that is
perfect and that is perfect
and that is perfect,
(laughs) yeah.
- Groove, Groove, do you want
to play hooby dooby do it
with me?
- Hey?
- Hooby dooby do it like this.
(paws banging table)
- Dah excuse me, careful Toola!
That's part of my
new collection.
- Oh, sorry Groove.
- That's all right.
It's my collection of things
that are exactly the same.
So far, I've got ping pong
balls, exactly the same see?
I've got three mugs,
exactly the same.
And bananas--
- Not exactly the same.
- What?
- Well, the bananas are not
all exactly the same, are they?
- Yes they are, they're all
yellow, they're all bendy.
- No, no, no, look
closely Groove.
They all look quite different.
Look, see, that one's
got a long brown line.
Oh, and the one in
the middle's longer!
It's not the same,
quite, quite different.
- Oh, that is so annoying.
- Hmm, what's annoying?
- Bananas.
- (laughs) How can
bananas be annoying?
- Well I thought they
were exactly the same
but apparently they're not.
- Oh.
- The problem is this, Ivor.
How can bananas be part
of Groove's collection
of things that exactly the same?
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba!
- Toola, you've hit
the question, come on!
- (sighs) Ah, bananas.
- How can bananas be part
of Groove's collection
of things that are
exactly the same?
That's a really hooble
dooble dooper question
for today's Hoob News!
I must say, I'd love
to try a banana.
- We'll bring you a bunch
when we next come
home Hubba-Hubba.
- Ah, thank you Toola.
Now then, things that
are exactly the same.
(triumphant laugh)
Here are some pictures for
you to look at on Hoobnet,
and while you do,
I'll email Roma.
- Thanks Hubba-Hubba.
- Hmm, all that talk of bananas
has made me feel quite peckish.
(laughs)
(space-like beeping)
(Hawaiian music)
All these things are exactly
the same Hoobs, do you see?
Yes, all those
boats are the same.
Those trains.
All exactly the same.
(space-like beeping)
- Not a banana in sight.
- In fact, there
was no fruit at all.
- (pleasurable sigh) Bananas
smell so (chuckles) bananarey.
- Those things we saw were
exactly the same as each other.
But bananas aren't.
- Why?
♪ Why why why why why why ♪
♪ Oh whyyy ♪
♪ Why why why why why why ♪
♪ Oh why why why ♪
♪ Why why whyyy ♪
- (chews) I don't know
why, but I do know
that this tastes really
bananarey (laughs).
- What makes things that
are exactly the same,
exactly the same.
(chews)
Groove?
(chews)
- What?
Oh, (laughs) no idea (swallows).
All I know is bananas are
the hooby grooviest fruit
that grows on the Peep planet.
- (gasps) That's it, the reason
why you can't get bananas
that are exactly the same,
is because they grow!
And things that grow,
are all different!
- Oh, right!
Like trees and plants and
vegetables and flowers.
Of course!
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba!
- How are you getting on, Hoobs?
We've answered the question
already Hubba-Hubba.
- Have we?
- Yes, bananas can't be
part of Groove's collection
of things that are
exactly the same.
- No, no, no, no, no, I'm
not giving up this easily.
- That's the spirit Groove!
- Yeah.
- Why don't you ask
the Tiddlypeeps if
they have any ideas.
- Great idea
Hubba-Hubba, I'll go.
- Okay, and I'll drive.
Let's get those Motorettes
singing (laughs).
- Seatbelt.
- [Toola] Seatbelt.
- We're off to see
the Tiddlypeeps.
- Yeah.

- Hoobledoop Tiddlypeeps
- [All] Hoobledoop Toola!
- Would you like to
do a hooby hello?
- [All] Yes!
Hoobledoop, hoobledoop,
whoop, whoop, whoop!
- Whoop, whoop, whoop.
(laughs)
- Oh Tiddlypeeps,
do you know how
to play copyhoob?
It's ever so easy.
If I say hooby dooby
do it like this,
then you have to
copy what I'm doing.
But, if I don't say hooby do
first, then you mustn't do it.
- I know, it's just
like Simon Says.
- Really?
Would you like to play?
- Yes!
- Yes!
(laughs)
- Okay, here goes.
Hooby dooby do it
like, this (laughs).
Hooby dooby do it like, this.
Now do it like this.
(squeals) caught you out, I
didn't say hooby dooby did I?
- Ah, but Toola, what
about the banana question?
- Yeah.
- What?
(gasps) Oh, I forgot!
(laughs) I'm meant to be
asking you if you know
how we can make some bananas
that are all exactly the same.
It's for one of
Groove's collections.
- We could copy one.
- (gasps) That's a
hoobily groobily idea!
But, how do you copy a banana?
- You just draw a
picture of it, like this.
(cheerful music)
- [Groove] Pom, pom,
pom (laughs) dancing.
- [Young Girl]
There three bananas.
- Groove will be so pleased!
- [Groove] Hooby groovy.
- Hooble toodle doo!
- [Tiddlypeeps]
Hooble toodle doo!
(merry orchestral music)
- They might look
exactly the same,
but do they taste
exactly the same?
- Here they are!
- Hmm, oh, well done Toola.
- There's only really
one way to find out.
(upbeat guitar music)
- Tada!
All exactly the same.
Now we can play copyhoob.
- No, they're not.
- Yes, they are!
- No they're not Toola,
this one's much smaller
than the others, you see, and
look there's a bigger one.
It's even fatter at one
end and, well that one,
look it's got darker
markings on it.
(chuckles) Well.
(sighs) Oh hoobybother.
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba!
(space-like beeping)
(chews)
- Ooh, hoobledoop Hoobs, the
sight of Groove and his banana
made me run for a
hoobnip (laughs).
- Not another banana Groove!
- (hums) It's
hoobalicious (laughs).
- So is this Groove (laughs).
- Now then, I found a hobble
dooble dooper story on Hoobnet
about another kind of copying.
See what you make of this.
(space-like beeping)
(regal accordion music)
- [Narrator] Tracy the
troll was the best artist
in Trollsylvania.
The walls of her cave were
covered in fantastic pictures.
(melodic humming)
Hundreds of trolls came every
day to see her drawings.
- Marvelous!
- Amazing!
- What talent!
- [Narrator] They cried as they
trooped through her bedroom
and through her sitting
room and into her kitchen.
- How I wish I had a
picture exactly like that
on the wall of my cave.
- [Narrator] But it's not
easy having a hundred trolls
wandering through
your home every day.
It made it impossible to work.
(trolls chattering)
"I've had enough of living
in an art gallery!",
said Tracy one morning.
(surprised mumbling)
So, she shut the cave door
and refused to let anyone in.
- [Ivor] Oh.
- [Narrator] "Let us in Tracy!",
shouted the crowds outside.
"No!", replied Tracy.
- Go away!
- [Narrator] But the
trolls wouldn't leave.
They started to chant.
- [All] We want to
see the drawings,
we want to see the drawings!
- [Narrator] Then
Tracy had an idea!
She got out a piece
of tracing paper,
she laid the paper over
one of her best drawings
and traced it with a pencil.
It came out exactly the same.
"Take this!", said Tracy to
the first troll in the queue.
- It's a copy of my drawing
for the wall of your own cave.
- [Narrator] Of
course, everyone wanted
one of Tracy's tracings and
she was very busy for a while.
But once everyone had
got what they wanted,
she closed the door
again and got on
with making the most
fantastic cave drawings
in Trollsylvania.
(space-like beeping)
- I've got some tracing
paper in my hoobybits box.
- I've got a pen in my hoobtube.
- And I've got a
banana to taste.
- (gasp) Don't you dare Groove!
We need that banana to trace.
Oh, all right.
(comical trumpet music)
(paper rustles)
- You do the tracing Toola and
Groove, you hold the banana.
- Hmm, okay.
(comical trumpet music)
(paper rustles)
- (exasperated huff) You are
not holding it still Groove!
- I am, it's just
too bumpy to trace.
- No it's not,
you're wobbling it.
- I'm not wobbling it,
I'm holding it like it,
(exasperated huff).
- Actually um, Toola,
I think groove's right,
you need a flat
surface for tracing.
- Oh, dear, now I've upset him.
- Oh, banana, you look so perf--
- Groove!
Hold that banana
right where it is!
(paper rustles)
(whimsical string music)
(gasp) Hold it for
me, please Ivor.
(paper rustles)
This is how we can
trace a banana!
Keep it still Groove!
- Yeah.
(whimsical string music)
- There!
(whimsical string music)
(paper rustles)
- Toola, you are a genius.
- Well, yes it was rather a
hoobily groobily idea wasn't it?
- (laughs) Now, all we have
to do, is lots more tracings
and well have hoobloads
of banana pictures
that all look exactly the same.
- Ah, yes, but it doesn't
look like a banana, does it?
I mean it's gray for
a start, and flat!
Bananas are never
flat, are they?
- Well I know, but if it's--
- No, no, no, no,
this is no good,
there's gotta be a better
way of copying a banana.
But what?
♪ What what whaaat ♪
♪ What ♪
- Well I've no idea what.
I've tried my best, someone
else will have to have a go!
- Roma, Roma, Roma!
- Oh, but Toola!
- Oh, look here's Roma.
Let's hope she's
found the answer.
- Hoobledoop Hoobs!
- [All] Hoobledoop Roma!
- Now, Hubba-Hubba said
you were trying to find out
about things that
are all the same.
- That's right!
- Well then, I've come
to the right place.
This is a factory
where Peeps make things
and everything they make
here, is exactly the same!
- Hooby galooby,
how do they do that?
- That's an excellent
question Groove.
- Oh, thanks.
- Luckily, I have the answer.
- [Groove] Good.
- Factories are full
of special machines,
which make these things.
- Machines?
- That's right Toola, you
press buttons and pull levels
and whoosh!
They all come out, one after
another, day after day,
year after year, and they
all look exactly the same.
- Do they have a banana-making
machine in that factory Roma?
- A banana-making machine?
(cackles)
What an idea!
Maybe it would look
like a giant banana,
all yellow and bendy.
- So, no banana-making machine?
- Lots of little bananas
sh**ting out of it (cackles),
marvelous!
- I'll take that as a no then.
- Oh, you do make me
laugh sometimes Groove.
(cackles)
What a sense of humor.
A banana-making machine.
(cackles)
This is Roma Hoob, imagining
a banana-making machine!
(cackles)
Hooble toodle doo!
(cackles)
- [All] Hooble toodle doo!
- It wasn't a joke,
I was serious.
(sigh) For once.
- Oh, come on now Groove,
Roma's obviously never seen
a banana-making
machine, that's all.
- (hums) Maybe we
could make one.
- Make one?
Ah, that would be
so hooby groovy.
We could have hoobloads of
bananas whenever we wanted them.

- What's your name?
- I'm Tom.
- Well I hope you
can help me Tom.
You see I'm trying to find a
machine that can make bananas.
- I don't think
there's such a thing
as a banana-making
machine, Ivor.
- Then how can you make things
that are all exactly the same?
- I've made some things that
all look exactly the same.
Look!
- Oh they are all
exactly the same.
- How did you make these?
- I used a mold.
- What's that?
- One of these!
- Oh I see.
It's the same shape as
the things you're making.
So whatever you put into
it goes into that shape.
- And comes out exactly
the same, every time.
(cheerful guitar strumming)
- Hooby galooby!
Toola, Groove,
that's what we need,
some hoobydough and a mold.
- A mold.
- Yeah.
- Thank you so much Tom,
I better be getting back
to the Hoobmobile now
and start making bananas.
Hooble toodle doo!
- Hooble toodle doo.

- Do you know
bananas don't taste
exactly the same as each other?
- This one was nowhere near
as sweet as the other two.
- Oh, Groove!
- Oh, you've got some
squishy hoobydough!
Well done, Toola.
- Now all we need
is a banana mold.
If we haven't got a mold,
they won't all be
exactly the same!
- Wait a minute, wait a minute!
Why don't we use this as a mold?
We could fill it with
hoobydough, couldn't we?

all you Hoobs out there,
welcome to Hoob News, the news

I'm Ivor.
- I'm Toola.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question,
how can bananas be part of
Groove's collection of things
that are exactly the same?
- [Groove] First, we saw
pictures of hoobloads of things
that were exactly the same.
- [Toola] But there
were no bananas.
- [Ivor] You see, bananas grow
and no two things that grow
are ever exactly the same.
- [Toola] Then some
Tiddlypeeps showed me
how I could make
copies of a banana
by drawing it lots of times.
- [Ivor] But all the drawings
looked slightly different.
- [Groove] But a story about
a troll gave us the idea
of tracing a banana.
They all look the same,
but they weren't yellow
and they were just too flat.
- [Ivor] Then Roma told
us all about factories.
Where they have
machines to make things
that all look exactly the same.
- [Groove] And we
imagined having
a banana-making
machine of our own.
♪ We could eat
bananas all the time ♪
♪ If you like bananas

♪ To the amazing

- We asked the
Tiddlypeeps if they knew
where we could find a

- [Toola] They said
there was no such thing,
but they did show us how
we could make model bananas
out of hoobydough
by using a mold.
- And here they are!
Aren't the hooby groovy?
- And they're all
exactly the same.
Well done Hoobs.
- Thanks Hubba-Hubba.
- So it's thanks once again,
to Ivor, Toola, groove and Roma
for giving Hoobs
everywhere a peep
into the fascinating
world of Peeps.
Do you know my giant Hoobapedia
is getting bigger and better
all the time (laughs).
So, have a nice day everyone
and hooble toodle doo!
- [All] Hooble toodle doo!
- Now we can get back
to playing copyhoob.
Hooby dooby do it like, this.
- All tight then.
(laughs)
- Groove, you're not playing.
- No I'm just working
on a new collection.
- What new collection?
- My collection of things
that there are only one of.
