- Hooble-doop 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 hoobepedia.
Here they come!

(sleepy moans)
- Typical, typical typical.
(sigh)
- Hmm? What?
- Oh? Huh?
(gasp)
Groove, you're up!
- Huh? Herbiegalerbie
of grooves! Up!
We must have overslept!
Come on Tula!
- As a matter of fact,
I haven't been to sleep at all.
- Why ever not?
- Because I wanted to
start my collection of
things that you find
outside the hoobmobile
but only at night.
- Oh. And what did you find?
- Nothing.
- Nothing?
- Why?
♪ Why, why, why ♪
♪ why ♪
- Because it was too
dark to see the things
that were outside the
hoobmobile, that's why.
(Iver giggles)
- But it's always
dark at night Groove.
- Well I don't see
why it has to be.
- Come on Groove.
Help me think up a
question for Hoob News.
- Oh Iver, it's not fair!
Why does it get dark at night?
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba.
- That's it Groove! You've
hit on the question!
- Why does it get dark at night?
That's an excellent
question.(yawn)
- Are you all right Hubba Hubba?
- You must excuse me hoobs.
I didn't sleep very
well last night.
Auntie Hattie Hoob is staying
with me at the moment.
She got up in the night
for a glass of Hoobjuice,
and couldn't find the
Hoobafridge in the dark.
She was crashing
around for hours.
- Is she all right
now Hubba Hubba?
- Oh yes Tula, yes. She's
having a little nap.
Of course I can't. I've
got to keep working
on my great hoobepedia.
(yawn)
Ah, well now. Where were we?
- We were trying to find out
why it isn't light at night.
- Oh right! Yes, yes.
Let's have a look
on Hoobnet to see.
Ah. Light at night (mumbles)
yes! Here you go! (laughs)
- [Hubba Hubba] They're
switching, switching on lights.
- [Hubba Hubba] They're
finding things with lights.
- [Hubba Hubba] Ah
yes, lighting the way.
- [Hubba Hubba] Finding things
with a torch light to see
(Hubba Hubba murmurs)
- Well, that didn't really
explain why it gets dark did it?
- But it did explain
how to make it light
so you can see in the dark.
I'm going to order a
torch from Hoobnet.
- But Groove, that's not
helping answer the question.
- Wait a minute!
I wonder what makes it
light during the daytime.
- Why do you wonder that Tula?
- Well, maybe whatever
makes it light in the day
gets switched off at night,
and that's why it gets dark.
- Tula, that is brilliant!
So, how do we find out what
makes it light in the day?
- We'll ask Hubba Hubba.
- Yeah, and I can ask him
to order me a torch too.
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba.
(Hubba Hubba snoring)
- Um-- just-- Hubba Hubba!
Hooble-doop!
(Hubba Hubba still snoring)
- Hubba Hubba! Wake up!
- That's never happened before.
- What are we going to do?
- I don't know.
This is a disaster.
- Calm down Iver.
Listen, if Hubba Hubba
were awake, what do
you think he'd suggest?
- Well um--
- I think he'd probably say...
That we ought to--
- We ought to--
visit the tiddlypeeps that's it!
Tiddlypeeps would
help us! Of course.
I'll go.
- I'll drive.
- And I'll stay here and
try to order my torch.
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba.
- Hubba Hubba.
Hubba Hubba!
(birds chirping)
- Seatbelt.
- We're off to see
the tiddlypeeps.

- Hooble-doop tiddlypeeps.
- [Both] Hooble-doop Iver!
- Why are you sitting
under this tree?
- Well it's so bright
that it's good to get into
the shade for a while.
- That's what I've
come to ask you about.
Why is it so bright
during the day?
- You mean what makes it light.
- It's the sun of course.
- The sun!?
- Stop! You mustn't look
straight at the sun Iver!
It'll hurt your eyes.
- Thank you for warning me.
It's the sun that makes
it light in the day.
I better get back to
the hoobmobile now,
but thanks ever so
much! Hooble toodle doo!
- [Both] Hooble toodle doo!
(Iver giggles)
(bright energetic music)
- Hmm. Hmm. Now
then, I wonder...
Groove?
- Hubba Hubba.
Hubba Hubba!
(grunts)
I'm never going to get
my torch at this rate.
- Never mind the torch Groove.
Now, I have been wondering--
- It's the sun!
It's the sun that makes
it light in the day.
Oh those tiddlypeeps,
they're so clever.
- Yes Iver, but
I'm still wondering
whether someone switches
the sun off at night.
Is that why it goes dark?
- I don't know Tula.
I didn't think to ask.
Oh hoobybother,
we're stuck again!
- There's only one thing for it.
We simply have to
wake up Hubba Hubba.
If we all shout together,
perhaps we'll manage it.
- Yeah, then I can
order my torch.
- If you mention that torch
once more Groove I'll--
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba.
(Hubba Hubba snoring)
- Right, all together
after three hoobaboobas.
- [All Together]
One hoobaboobas.
Two hoobaboobas.
Three hoobaboobas.
Hubba Hubba,
wake up!
(crash)
- Oh hoobs. (laughs) I'm
sorry, I must have just
dropped off for a
second. (laughs)
- Please can you order me a
torch from Hoobnet Hubba Hubba?
- Groove.
- Oh well, one torch
(yawns) on it's way.
(yawns) hoobletoodle.
- Hubba Hubba! That's not all!
- Wait!
- (shrieks) What?
What, what what, what!?
- We still don't know why
it gets dark at night.
- Ah, yes well let me see
what else I can find here.
Dark at night, ah
yes. Here you are.
Take a look at this story
that a tiddlypeep
has sent-- (yawns).
(harmonic music)
- [Narrator] Cuthbert
was a brand new curtain.
- [Narrator] He had just
been hung on curtain rail
- [Narrator] in
Bernard's bedroom.
- [Narrator] Now
it just so happened
- [Narrator] that Bernard
wasn't feeling very well.
(dramatic sound effects)
- [Narrator] What you
need, said Bernard's mom
- [Narrator] is sleep.
- [Narrator] But it's
too light to sleep.
- [Narrator] Well
just see what happens
- [Narrator] when I pull
Cuthbert, your new curtain.
- [Narrator] Bernard's
mom pulled Cuthbert
across the window
- [Narrator] So that
no light could get in.
- [Narrator] And soon,
Bernard was fast asleep,
- [Narrator] But
Cuthbert was wide awake.
- [Narrator] He was
scared of the dark,
- [Narrator] And he
started to rustle.
- [Narrator] He thought
that he could see something
- [Narrator] Spooky
under the bed.
(terrified scream)
- [Narrator] That just
made him rustle even more.
- [Narrator] What's all that
rustling? cried Bernard.
- [Narrator] I'm
scared of the dark,
- [Narrator] And I thought
there was something spooky
- [Narrator] Under the bed.
- [Narrator] Oh poor
Cuthbert, Bernard said
- [Narrator] And opened him
wide so that the light came
- [Narrator] Streaming in.
- [Narrator] See, he said.
- [Narrator] There's
nothing spooky
- [Narrator] Under the bed.
- [Narrator] I'm sorry
I woke you Bernard.
- [Narrator] That's
all right Cuthbert.
- [Narrator] I feel
much better now.
(group laughs)
- [Groove] He got
very well quickly.
(animation sounds)
- That's why it gets dark.
So that peeps can go to sleep.
- And hoobs.
- Yes. Do you think
that's true Tula?
Are we hoobs more likely to
feel sleepy when it's dark?
- Well, lets test it
out. It's light now,
see if you can feel sleepy.
Try to go to sleep. Go on.
- I don't feel sleepy at all.
- So let's see if you
feel sleepy in the dark.
- Yeah but it's not
dark, it's light.
- Then we need to make it dark.
- Yes, but how?
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪
- I know how. What
we need are curtains.
- What I need is my torch.
- Shush shush Groove.
- Here we go. I will
make some curtains.
- Oh Tula, how herbaceous.
Then we can find out whether
the dark makes us sleepy.

(bubbly music)
- (laughter) My torch is here.
I can't believe it's
finally arrived.
(grunts)
(Hoobs snoring)
- (shriek) Wha-- what!?
- What's going on?
- It's me.
(horrified screams)
What?
- You woke us up
Groove, that's what!
- And you scared me so much
my twizzle tuft is trembling!
- Oh, I'm sorry. But what
do you think of my torch?
Hoobie groovy or what? (laughs)
- Yes Groove, but what's
more hoobie groovy
is that we've got the answer.
It gets dark at night so peeps
and hoobs can go to sleep.
- Yes but...
- Oh now what Tula?
- Well, we still don't know
who switches off the sun
to make it dark, do we?
- No you're right, we don't.
- [Echoing Voice] Roma.
- Ah, but perhaps Roma will.
- Hoobledoop hoobs.
- [Hoobs] Hoobledoop Roma!
- Now Hubba Hubba's asked me
to find out all about dark,
but it wasn't dark where I
was, so I had to come here
where it is dark.
- Where are you Roma?
- I'm right around on the
other side of the world Iver.
- How come it's dark there Roma?
- Because it's
night time Groove.
The sun's not out.
I don't know where
it's gone though.
- Don't worry Roma, we
know where the sun is!
It's come here!
- Well that's odd Iver.
I've been talking
to some peeps here
on the other side of the world
and they assure me that the
sun will be back in a few hours
which means, it'll have
to leave where you are.
- So it's going to
be dark again here.
- I suppose so Tula.
I hope it doesn't come
here too soon though.
I'm rather sleepy after all
that traveling, I can tell you.
(yawns)
This is Roma Hoob on the
other side of the world
(yawn) for a bit of a lie
down. Hoobletoodledoo.
- [Hoobs] Hoobletoodledoo!
- That's it! No body
switches off the sun!
The sun just goes to the
other side of the peep planet.
Right, listen, look. Say we are
here all right?
And Roma, she's right
round here, okay?
So the sun must go from
us right round to Roma!
- But how?
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how,
how, how, how, how ♪
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba.
(shriek)
- Maybe Hubba Hubba
would know how.
- Hooble-doop hoobs.
How are we all?
I'm feeling absohoobielutely
tickety hoobieboo.
(snores)
- [Hoobs] Hubba Hubba!
- Oh! Sorry! Nearly tickety
hoobieboo anyway. (laughs)
- Hubba Hubba, have you
seen any other torches
on Hoobnet that you
could maybe send me?
- Groove!
- What?
- Sorry Hubba Hubba.
We think, that the sun
goes to the other side
of the world at night
but we don't know how
it gets there, do you?
- Well, I can't say I do hoobs.
But why don't you go
and have another word
with the tiddlypeeps?
- Herbaceous idea Hubba Hubba!
And this time I think
Groove should go.
- Hey? But I'm
playing with my torch!
- Well you can play
with that later.
Right now we need
an answer. Go on.
- Yes come on Groove,
I'll drive you. Come on.
- Oh, all right.

- Hooble-doop tiddlypeep!
- Hooble-doop Groove!
- That's a hooby groovy picture
of the sun you've drawn.
Do you know much about the sun?
We know it goes to the
other side of the world
when it's nighttime, but we
don't know how it gets there.
- The sun doesn't
go anywhere Groove.
- It doesn't?
- But then how come it's sunny
on this side of the world
when it's dark on
the other side?
- Because the
world turns around.
Look, I'll show you.
This one in the
middle is the sun,
and this one is the world.
- All right.
- The world moves around
the sun like this.
The sun never moves.
- Okay, so isn't the sun shining
on the world all the time?
- Only the side facing the sun.
- I see. The world turns
around so that sometimes
one side is facing the sun.
- And sometimes,
the other side is.
- I'm going to get back
to the hoobmobile now
before I forget how all of
this works. Hoobletoodledoo.
- Hoobletoodledoo!
- The world turns round.
- The world turns round?
- The world turns around!
How hooby groovy is that aye?
Allow me to demonstrate.
You've got the world, right?
- Right.
- And I've got my torch.
- Oh not the torch again.
- Close the curtains
please Tula.
Right, hold the torch please
Tula. You are the sun.
And you shine on the
world. Now my finger here,
that's us. (laughter)
Now suppose we're here, right.
It's daytime where we are, but
the peep planet turns round.
- Oh yes, yes.
(humming)
- So, once it's
nighttime, the peep planet
has turned halfway round
so that we're here.
The sun's still
on the other side.
So where we are, it's dark.
And that's why it
gets dark at night.
- Groove you are a genius,
and just in time too.
Quick, into the hooby studio!

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba.
- Hooble-doop hoobs.
Are you ready to give me your
news for my great hoobepedia?
- We're ready Hubba Hubba!
- Then take it away.
(Exciting music)
- Hooble-doop to all
you hoobs out there.
Welcome to Hoob news, the new
show for Hoobs everywhere.
- I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm (yawns) Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question,
- Why does it get dark at night?
- First, Hubba Hubba
showed us pictures of peeps
turning on lights and
torches to make it light
when it was dark.
- That made us wonder, what
makes it light during the day.
- We decided to visit the
tiddlypeeps who told us
that it's the sun that
makes it light in the day.
- But that didn't explain
why it gets dark at night
- And I was wondering whether
somebody switched the sun off.
- [Groove] Hubba
Hubba found us a story
and we thought we had the answer
- [Iver] It gets dark at
night so that peeps and hoobs
can go to sleep.
- But we still didn't
know how it got dark.
- [Iver] Roma was on the
other side of the world
where it was dark.
- [Tula] So that made us
think that the sun must travel
to the other side of the world
when it's nighttime here.
- But then we started
wondering how on earth
the sun got to the
other side of the world.
- So Groove went to
ask the tiddlypeeps
and he found out that the
sun doesn't go away at all.
- The peep planet turns
away from the sun,
so when it's light here,
it's dark on the other
side of the world.
(snoring)
- [Tula And Iver] Groove!
- You know hoobs, I think
you've worked out how to
solve this kind of problem.
- [Tula And Iver] Groove!
- Well, what's happening?
- So it's thanks once again
to Iver, Tula Groove and Roma
for giving hoobs everywhere
a fascinating peep
into the world of peeps.
So have a nice day,
and hoobletoodledoo!
