- Hoobledoob 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!

(opening credits music playing)

- You know who the Hoobs are!

- Iver! - Groove! - And Tula!

- We're Hoobs!

- And they're ready to go!

Now the wheels are turning,

we can all get learning.

All the things we want to know.

Hubba Hubba

in Hoobland

and Roma somewhere far away.

Ooo Ooo Ooo!

The motorettes are singing,

- We keep the engines spinning!

- Hoob Hoob Hooray!

(credits music continues)

The Hoobmobile is

coming your way!

- Haha whoa!

- Haha whay!

- Ohhh!

- The Hoobs are here

so what do you say!

- Hoobs!

(Tula humming)

- What are you making Tula?

- A toy!

I just have to decide what kind.

- Look what I've just found

oustide the Hoobmobile.

And listen to this, it

squeaks when you squeeze it.

(toy squeaking)

(Hoobs laughing)

- What are you going

to call it Groove?

- Um, how about Squeaky?

Do you like that name, Squeaky?

(toy squeaking)

(Hoobs laughing)

(dog barking)

- What was that noise?

- It was squeaky, listen.

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

- No, no, no not squeaky

That funny "woof

woof woof" noise

- (Groove) Oh, I don't know.

- It's a dog, come

and have a look!

- Ooooo!

(music playing)

- You're right Tula!

Isn't he hoobacious!

- He's given me an idea,

I'm going to make a toy dog!

- A toy dog Tula? That

sounds hooby groovy

doesn't it squeaky.

(toy squeaking)

(dog barking)

- That dog must have

a nice home to go to.

But he's just sitting

out there going

woof woof woof

I wonder why.

- (singing) Why, why, why

Why!

- Do you know why, Squeaky?

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

No, neither do I

- I know, the dog

must be saying hello

so it wants us to

say hello back!

- Wow that's easy,

come on Groove!

Let's all give him

a big hooby hello!

- Hoobledoo, hoobledoo,

woo, woo, woo!

- He's not going "woof" anymore

- That was it then, now I can

get back to making my toy dog

- Yes, and uh I can start

thinking about a question

for today's Hoob News!

Um

Have you got any ideas Groove?

- Uh, no I haven't. Have

you got any ideas Squeaky?

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

No, sorry.

- There goes that woof again!

- What can we do to stop the

dog outside the hoobmobile

going woof woof.

(Hubba calling)

- It's Hubba Hubba.

- What can we do to stop the dog

outside the hoobmobile

going woof woof.

That is a fantaffyhooby

question for you answer

on Hoob News.

Just the sort of thing

that hoobs everywhere

will want to look up

in my great Hoobapedia.

- Hubba Hubba, is

there any information

on Hoobnet about why

dogs make that noise?

- I believe there is Iver.

Take a look at this.

(searching noise)

- Ooooo!

Hahaha, look at those two.

(dog barking)

- Oh, he's barking!

Jumping and catching!

Ooo, he's barking!

I wonder if he wants something?

Oh how lovely!

Oh where's he going?

Oh he was thirsty!

(dog barking)

Hm, I wonder why

they're barking?

Ah, perhaps they were

barking for their food!

- Maybe the dog outside

the bus is hungry?

- What about a hooby cookie?

- Everybody likes hooby cookies,

so dogs must like

hooby cookies too!

You like hooby cookies

don't you squeaky?

(toy squeaking and

Groove laughing)

(dog barking)

- Well, it's worth

a try isn't it.

I will go and see if

the dog is hungry!

(music playing)

- Look! He's gobbling it down!

- And he isn't going

woof woof anymore!

- He must've really hungry!

- So that's the answer then!

All the dog wanted

was something to eat!

- Look I finished cutting

out the dog shape for my toy!

- The dog will probably go

home now, right Squeaky?

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

- Oh no! He still

wants something!

But what?

- (singing) What?

What?

What? What? What?

What? What? What?

What?

What? What? What?

- I have an idea

which may help you work out

what the dog wants hoobs!

Why don't you go and

ask some tiddlypeeps!

- Great idea, Hubba Hubba!

- Ooo, I wonder if the

dog will follow us!

- Oh, I think he might Tula.

He certainly seems to

want something from you!

- Right, let's go!

- I'll drive!

- And I'll just stay here

and talk to you Squeaky.

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

Follow us to the

tiddlypeeps little dog!

They'll know what you want!

(toy squeaking)

- Seat belt!

- (Together) We're off

to see the tiddlypeeps!

(music playing)

- Yee haw!

- We're off to see

the tiddlypeeps,

on the road we go!

We're off to see the tiddlypeeps

- They're smart! -

They're fun! - They know!

- The tiddlypeeps,

the tiddlypeeps help

us find things out

they give us clues,

they tells us news

that's what they're all about!

(music continues)

- Yoo hoo!

- (Motorettes) The

tiddlypeeps, the tiddlypeeps,

if we need to know,

who, what, where,

why, when and how

we'll ask them, off we go

Yoo hoo!

We're off to see the

tiddlypeeps, on the road we go

We're off to see

the tiddlypeeps,

they're smart, they're

fun, they know!

(music ends)

- Hey tiddlypeeps!

- It's Iver!

- Won't you do a hooby hello?

- Yeah!

- Come on! Hoobledoo

Hoobledoo woo woo woo!

I am so pleased to see you,

because there is something

you can all help me with

Something I don't understand.

Why does this dog

keep making a noise?

- What noise?

- Well this noise, like

um "woof woof woof"

- You mean barking!

- Oh so that's what

the noise is called!

Why is he barking?

- He's not barking now.

- No, no that's strange!

I wonder why he stopped.

- Probably because you've

taken him for a walk.

- You think so?

- When dogs want to go for a

walk they have to bark a lot.

- Oh I see! Oh so now

he's having a walk,

he doesn't need to bark anymore!

So is barking the

only noise dog's make?

- No! Dogs make all

sorts of noises.

- Like what?

(children making dog noises)

- Yes, thank you! I think

I've got the idea now.

Thank you. Tula, Groove, Groove?

Dogs make all sorts of

noises, not just woof woof.

Yes, um, thank you tiddlypeeps.

hoobletoodledoo!

- Hoobletoodledoo!

- Come on doggy! Walk this way!

(music plays)

(Groove making dog noises)

- Where's the dog?

- Oh, he, um, stayed outside.

He's not going to

bark at us anymore.

I've taken him for a walk.

- Groove? What are you doing?

- I'm making dog noises

like the tiddlypeeps,

what else?

(Groove making dog noises)

- Groove!

- (Groove singing)

I'll tell you a noise

that a dog might make

when its running round and round

or it's jumped in a lake.

It may be a young pup

or long in the tooth

the dog will still

go woof woof woof!

(music playing)

- (All singing) scratching

at the back door

running in the park

What are they after?

Why do they bark?

- (Tula singing) But small dogs

make quite different sounds

from Yorkies and

Scotties to Basset Hounds

They'll wake you up

when you're having a nap

these dogs will all go yap!

Yap!

(music playing)

- (All singing) Scratching

at the back door

running in the park

What are they after?

Why do they bark?

(music playing)

(all making dog noises)

- (Iver singing)

What would they say

if these dogs could talk?

How about some dinner?

How about a walk?

They ask for these

things I'll tell you how

They go bow wow!

- (all singing) Bow

wow! Bow wow wow!

(all making dog noises)

- Ah that was fun!

Let's do Hoob News!

- Yes, because no we know

that thing we had to do

to stop the dog from

going "bow wow wow",

was to take him for a walk

- Aren't we clever

little Squeaky?

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

- Oh no, I knew it was too easy!

- Oh, here's Roma

Maybe she'll know how to

make the dog stop barking

Hoobledoob Roma!

- Hoobledoob hoobs!

I'm reporting from a

field in the countryside.

Hubba Hubba sent me

a message earlier

about your barking dog.

Now a moment ago, there was

a lovely shaggy dog here!

And I was going to

throw him this ball

so he could chase it. Dog's

just love chasing things!

And get this, for some dogs

chasing things is there job!

Police dogs, racing

dogs, and sheep dogs.

All of them chase

things for a job!

- Where's the dog now, Roma?

- Well just as I was

about to throw this ball

for the dog to chase, he spotted

a field of sheep over there

and he was off.

That's because he's a sheep dog

and he chases sheep

to help the farmer.

There was no stopping him.

I'm off to find him now

to see if I can

interest him in my ball.

I know! Perhaps if I bark

I can get his attention.

(Roma barking)

Come on dog! Where are you?

(Roma barking)

This is Roma Hoob

signing off to go and

play ball with a dog.

Hoobatoodledoo!

(Roma barking)

- Oh dear! Now even

Roma is barking.

- Yes! And now we know that

dogs like chasing things.

So, maybe our dog wants

to chase something.

- You can pretend that

you're sheep, Iver

and the dog can chase you!

- Yes! Iver the sheep! Yes!

- But I don't want to be a

sheep! I like being a hoob!

- Squeaky things you should

be a sheep. Don't you Squeaky?

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

Yeah you'd make a hooby

groovy sheep Iver.

- Huh, do you really think so?

Well I suppose if it chases

me and stops barking then

we've answered the

question haven't we?

Okay, I'll be a sheep.

- Yes!

- Oh, I've got just the

thing for you to wear, Iver.

A tiddlypeep gave it to me.

Said it was just my color.

- But it's pink! I've never

seen a pink sheep before!

- Ah but that's the clever bit.

The dog won't have seen

a pink sheep either.

And that will make him want

to chase you all the more!

Now all you have to

do is baa! Off you go!

- Baa!

Baa!

Baa!

- Let's go and watch him

- (Motorettes singing)

Baa baa pink sheep

have you any wool?

Yes hoobs! Yes hoobs!

Three bags full!

One bag for Tula and

one bag for Groove!

And one for the motorettes

who make the bus move.

Baa!

Baa baa pink sheep

running from the dog!

- Run Iver! Run Iver!

Faster than a jog.

- Iver's getting very tired

and running out of puff!

- But at least the little

dog has stopped his

woof woof woof!

- At least the little dog has

stopped his woof woof woof!

- Look! It worked!

The dog stopped barking

because he chased Iver!

- Ohh! Ohh! It's hard

work being a sheep.

I'm sheeped out!

- It worked though.

I am now going to

stuff my dog toy

with scrunched up paper

and it will be finished.

- Phew, I need a rest.

Wake me up when it's

time for Hoop News.

- A nap! I'm with you Iver.

(toy squeaking and

Groover and Iver laugh)

(dog barking)

- Oh, not again! Will that

dog ever stop barking?

- Now what does it want?

(Hubba Hubba calling)

- Hoobledoob Hoobs! Or

should I say woof woof?

Now don't go worrying

your hoobyheads

I found a hoobacious

dog story on hoobnet

that I think might help

you to answer the question.

Take a look.

(music playing)

- (Narrator) Duna the dog

just loved to bury her bone.

She also loved her

owner, Mr. Greenfinger.

Now Mr. Greenfinger

loved his garden

And Duna would bury her

bone in his flowerbeds,

under his bushes, and even

in the middle of his lawn.

"Bad dog, go and find

somewhere else to dig."

So Duna ran off to the woods

and started to dig under a tree.

But she sprayed

leaves over some elves

who were having a picnic.

"Bad dog!"

"Go and find

somewhere else to dig"

So Duna took her

bone to a muddy field

and started to dig in the mud

but the earthworms

weren't happy with this.

"Bad dog, go and find

somewhere else to dig"

Duna ran to the beach,

where she saw some pirates

and guess what they

were doing? Digging!

"Hooray!" Cried Duna.

"At last, I've found

somewhere where its okay

to be a digger!"

So Duna started to dig.

She sprayed sand all

over the pirates.

"Bad dog!" One of them shouted.

Duna was very upset.

"If a dog can't dig on the

beach, where can a dog dig?"

she thought. But suddenly,

the pirates saw a shiny thing

deep down in the hole

that Duna had dug.

"Look! The dog dug

up our treasure."

"Just what we were looking for"

"Good dog!"

Cried the pirates.

Duna wagged her tail.

She was so happy.

She never dug up

the garden again.

"Good dog Duna!"

Said Mr. Greenfinger.

"The best dog in the world!"

- So dogs like burying bones!

Maybe the dog outside

the bus is barking

because it wants a bone to bury.

- Exactly what I thought Tula.

So I've asked Hubba Hubba

to order us a bone from Hoobnet.

Ah that must be it now!

- This is the biggest

bone I have ever seen!

Look at the size of that devil.

What do you think squeaky?

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

- Right, let's see if it

stops the dog going woof woof!

- Yeah!

- It will take ages

to bury that bone.

That dog is not going to

bark for a long long time.

- Yes, sorted eh?

Oh, how's your little

dog coming along Tula?

- Oh I just need to

sew up the last bit!

- And there we are!

No more woof woof

woofs from that dog!

Thank goodness he's burying

that bone for all he's worth.

- Yes we have the answer.

- And Squeaky wants

to congratulate us!

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

- Oh no, I don't believe it!

(Hubba Hubba calling)

- Do you believe it Hubba Hubba?

- No, not really Iver.

Maybe you should take the

dog to see more tiddlypeeps.

We need more information or we

won't be ready for Hoob News!

- I know! I know! You go

Groove, it's your turn!

- My turn?

- Yes, Groove! All you've done

is squeak Squeaky all day.

- Well Squeaky's got a lot

to say, haven't you Squeaky?

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

- Well take Squeaky with you!

Come on, I'll drive.

(music playing)

- (Motorettes singing) We're

off to see the tiddlypeeps,

on the road we go.

We're off to see

the tiddlypeeps.

- They're smart! -

They're fun! - They know!

- (Motorettes singing) The

tiddlypeeps, the tiddlypeeps

if we need to know

who, what, where,

why, when and how

we'll ask them off we go

- Ohh!

- (Iver) Yee Haw!

- (Motorettes singing) We're

off to see the tiddlypeeps

on the road we go.

We're off to see the tiddlypeeps

They're smart! They're

fun! They know!

(music playing)

- Hoodledoob tiddlypeeps!

- Hoodleboob Groove!

- Hey tiddlypeeps, I'm

so glad I found you.

I need to know why this dog

keeps barking all the time.

(dog barking)

He's been fed and he's

had hoobloads of exercise

but he's still going

woof woof woof?

He's been driving us hoobs

crazy! Do you have any ideas?

- Maybe he wants to be petted!

- Maybe!

- See! He really loves it!

- Hoobygalooby, he

does doesn't he?

- Patting and stroking the dog

is the one thing

we didn't think of.

You tiddlypeeps are

so clever, thank you!

Hey tiddlypeeps

do you want to see something

really hooby groovy?

- Yes please!

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

- Look at this

squeaky toy I found.

His name is Squeaky!

Say hello to the

tiddlypeeps, Squeaky.

(toy squeaking and dog barking)

- That's a dog's toy!

- Dog toy? I didn't

know dogs had toys.

- Oh yes,

especially ones they can

put in their mouth and chew!

- Especially, squeaky ones!

- And do you think this

squeaky toy belongs to the dog?

- Yes and I think he

would like it back.

- So that's why he's

barking. Here you go doggy.

- Oh well, bye squeaky

toy. Nice knowing you.

- Time to go back to

the hoobmobile now

so thank you for all

your help, tiddlypeeps!

Hoobletoodledoo!

- Hoobletoodledoo!

(music playing)

- Hoobletoodledoo

Dog! Hoobletoodledoo!

Oh he looks very happy

now he's going home

with his squeaky toy.

- Now I'm happy too but

I will miss Squeaky.

- Well miss him no more.

Here you go Groove!

I've been making this

toy for you all along.

It's a dog like Squeaky

but it doesn't squeak.

It scrunches.

- A toy dog for

me! That scrunches.

Ah hoobygalooby!

Thank you Tula!

Let me give you a hoobledigger.

Hooble Hooble digga

digga digga digga digga!

- What are you going

to call it Groove?

- I don't know, how

about Scrunchie!

(Hubba Hubba calling)

- Are you ready with

your news hoobs?

Ready to give me what you've got

on what to do to make

a dog stop barking

for my hoobapedia?

- Yes we are Hubba

Hubba! Come on!

Okay, okay.

We're ready!

Are we ready? No, no

that's wrong. Eh hem.

We're ready!

(music playing)

Hoobledoop woo 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

- What can we do to stop the

dog outside the hoobmobile

going woof woof.

It all started, when I

found my friend Squeaky

lying outside the bus.

I introduced him to everyone

and then a dog started

going woof woof woof.

- (Tula) At first

we thought the dog

just wanted to say hello.

So we said hello.

- (Groove) But that wasn't it

because soon it went

woof woof woof again.

- (Iver) Then hubba hubba

showed us some pictures

of dogs he'd found on hoobnet

and one of them seemed

to be asking for food.

- (Groove) We gave the

dog some hoobycookies

but he still went

woof woof woof.

- (Iver) Then we went

to see some tiddlypeeps.

They had some very

interesting information.

- When dogs want to go for a

walk they have to bark a lot.

- So so, is barking the

only noise dogs make?

- No, dogs makes

all sorts of noises.

- Like what?

(children making dog noises)

- (Tula) We liked

those sounds so much

we tried to make them too.

Then Roma showed us that

dogs like chasing things,

especially sheep.

- Get this, for some dogs,

chasing things is their job!

Police dogs, racing

dogs, and sheep dogs.

- (Iver) Then Hubba Hubba

sent us a story about a dog,

Who liked burying bones.

So we go the dog an

enormous bone to bury!

But then it barked again.

- (Tula) Groove went to

see the tiddlypeeps again,

who showed us that dogs like

to be stroked and patted.

- (Iver) But it turned out the

reason was barking at us was

- (Groove) I had its squeaky

toy. Here ya go doggy.

So what do we do to stop the

dog from going woof woof woof?

Give him back his

toy, which I did.

But don't worry, because

Tula made me another toy!

Say hello Scrunchie!

- And so its thanks once again

to Iver, Tula, Groove and Roma

for giving us all a little

peep into the world of peeps.

And remember wherever you

are, have a lovely day

and hoobletoodledoo!

- Hoobletoodledoo!

- Well what do you

think of that Scrunchie?

(toy scrunching

and hoobs barking)

Aw it was you two!
