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!

(clumsy trumpet)
- Typical, typical typical,
typical, typical, ugh.
- What's the matter Groove?
- Well look the
hoobasteps are broken.
- Oh, dear.
- Now then.
- Whatcha looking for?
- Uh hoobytie, I can't
find any anywhere.
- Well you're not
going to find it by
staring up in the air are you.
(Tula giggles)
(Groove sighs)
Now what it is?
- I'm looking for hoobafix
and I can't find any of that.
- I don't suppose you'll
find that by staring
up in the air either.
(Iver hums)
- Ah, Hoobledoop Tula,
Hoobledoop Groove.
- Hoobledoop Iver!
- Hoobledoop Iver!
- So have either
of you thought up
a question for Hoob News yet?
- Well I've been busy
tidying up these shelves.
And Groove's been trying to find
some hoobytie and hoobafix
by staring up into the air.
- Yeah I could do with
some hooboloops as well.
Whilst I'm at it.
- Well look, there's a big
ball of hoobytie just up there
next to that roll hoobafix,
by a jar of hooboloops.
- You see?
They were up in the
air all the time.
I need all those things
to fix my hoobasteps.
- Hm, how did they get up there?
- Yeah, well I put
them up there didn't I.
(Groove groans)
but unfortunately, I
used the hoobasteps.
- Oh.
- Oh.
And now you can't get them down.
Because the
hoobasteps are broken.
- Oh this is too annoying.
(Groove sighs)
If only I were taller.
If only.

- Cheer up Groove.
- We'll get the
things down somehow.
Just as soon as
we've done Hoob News.
- But Iver, how will
we get them down?
I mean, how can Groove
reach the top shelf
without the hoobasteps?
- [Announcer] Hubba
Hubba Hubba Hubba.
- Oh it's Hubba Hubba!
(spacey whoosh)
- How can Groove
reach the top shelf
without the hoobasteps?
Well done Hoobs, that's
a hoobacious question.
(Hoobs chitter excitedly)
Yes, it's perfect for
my great Hoobapedia.
- Maybe we could find a way
of making Groove taller.
Then he could reach all those
things on the top shelf.
- Yeah and I'd be tall,
just like I've
always wanted to be.
Hooby groovy.
- Hubba Hubba, will you let
Roma know what our question is?
- Certainly Groove, I'm sure
she'll come up with a way
of making you taller.
- [Groove] Yeah.
- In the meantime,
I've had a bit
of a look around on Hoobnet.
- [Groove] Yes?
- I fed in growing taller
and getting bigger.
But all this stuff came up.
It's a little
curious but perhaps
you can make some sense of it.
(spacey bubbles)
(pop music)
- Ah, now that peeps bringing
some food to the table.
And there's a peep eating.
There's a tiddlypeep
eating something.
Oh look, those people
are eating with sticks.
Oh look, peeps, tiddlypeeps,
and wrinkly peeps.
- Eating!
- [Hubba Hubba] All eating.
- Eating, yeah.
- Right.
So getting bigger must have
something to do with eating.
- Maybe eating is what makes
tiddlypeeps grow bigger.
If we feed you a really
big dinner Groove.
- Yeah?
- Then maybe you'd get bigger.
(Groove cackles)
- Sounds like my kind of plan.
Let's go and see what's
in the hoobafridge.
- Okay but if we're
going to do this,
we've got to test
it out properly.
And that means, we measure
Groove before he eats
his big dinner, and then
we measure him afterwards
to see how much
taller he's grown.
- Hoobygallooby you
are a genius Iver!
- Oh, thank you Tu...la.
- Oh, oh, and I know
just how to do it.
Here's how.
- Tula, how is that stumpy
little pencil going to help.
- You'll see.
I'll measure Groove, while
you find him something to eat.
- Oh, all right.
- Groove, oh Groove.
Groove!
- What, what what
are you doing Tula?
- You just come here
and stand still against
this wall Groove.
- But I want my big dinner.
- No wait there!
(sassy trumpet plays)
(pencil scratches)
That's how tall you are.
- Hm, oh yeah very nice,
now where's my big dinner?
(Tula sighs)
- Here it is!
Twelve hooby cookies,
six hooby buns,
eight hooby scones,
two hooby cakes.
(Groove whoops)
Three hooby puddings,
and the biggest hoobnip
from the Hoobnip Tree.
- Oh thank you!
- Of all of us, Groove
is probably the only one
who could get through
all that food.
But how?
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪
♪ How, how ♪
(Groove gurgles)
- That's how.
- Hoobygalooby, do
you feel any taller.
(Groove sighs)
- Um actually no I feel
a bit sick to be honest.
- Yeah.
- But it'll be worth
it if I've grown.
- There's only one
way to find out.
Stand up against
that wall again.
(twangy music)
- Oh, you haven't grown at all.
You're just the same as before.
(Groove sighs)
- Actually I think my
tummy might have grown.
I don't feel too good.
- We were sure it was food
that makes tiddlypeeps
get taller.
Why doesn't that work on Hoobs?
- Let's ask Hubba Hubba
and see if he's got any ideas.
(Groove groans)
- [Announcer] Hubba
Hubba Hubba Hubba.
- Hoobledoop Hoobs!
I've been doing a
bit of research.
It seems that food
is part of what
makes tiddlypeeps get bigger.
But they only grow a
little bit every peep year.
- Oh!
So feeding a Hoob, won't
make him get taller soon.
- No I'm afraid not Iver.
But a tiddlypeep has sent
in a story to Hoobnet
and it might help you.
Let's have a look.
(Spacey bubbles)
- [Child narrator]
Once upon a time
there was a great big giant!
The great big giant's
favorite game was football.
And he had a great big
giant ball to play with.
The question was, who was
going to play with him.
(giant sighs)
Well the great big
giant had two neighbors.
A gnome and magician.
The magician was too
busy writing spells
to play football.
So the great big giant asked
the gnome if he'd like to play.
Absolutely said the gnome!
- I love football!
- [Child narrator] But
when the great big giant
kicked the great big
giant ball to the gnome,
it landed on top of him and
squished him into the ground.
(Hoobs exclaim)
The great big giant lifted
the ball off the gnome.
- I'm very sorry.
- [Child narrator] He said.
- I didn't mean to squish you.
- That's all right.
- [Child narrator]
Said the gnome.
- But I'm just too
little to play football
with that great big giant ball.
- [Child narrator]
Now, watching the game
when he really should
have been writing spells,
was the magician,
who's secretly a
big football fan.
- Perhaps I can help.
- [Child narrator] He said.
- Try this spell.
For a gnome to play football
make him feet more tall
hocus pocus don't you snicker
make him all together bigger.
- [Child narrator] And wham.
In a flash the gnome
was just as tall
as the great big giant.
(Hoobs laugh)
He was a great big giant gnome.
They both thanked the magician.
- My pleasure.
- [Child narrator] He said.
- There's nothing I like better
than watching a good
game of football
while I write my spells.
- [Child narrator] So
the great big giant
and the great big giant
gnome played football
under the magician's
window all day.
(spacey twinkling)
- Well that's it.
That's the answer.
Let's try out a spell.
And then maybe I can
be a giant Hoob too.
(hoobs laugh)
Okay, here goes.
Stand back.
- Back, back, oh back!
- I'm a Hoob who's
much too small.
I wish I could be really tall.
Hocus pocus don't you snicker
make me all together bigger.
(groove laughs)
Come on!
- What?
- Oh yes!
- Come on measure
me, measure me!
(Tula sighs)
(pencil scratches)
- [Tula] Oh it's no good
you haven't grown at all.
- Oh hooby bother.
The spell didn't work.
- I think I know why Groove.
In the story, it was a magician
that gave the gnome the spell.
- Oh yes, Iver's right.
Hoobs can't make up spells.
No magician, no magic.
- Oh you know I am never
gonna get my hoobasteps
fixed at this rate.
- Yes and not only that,
we won't be able to
answer the question
in time for Hoob News.
- Maybe if I throw
a hoobybun up there
I can knock the
stuff off the shelf.
- Oh no! Don't do that.
- Why not?
- Because it's dangerous,
that's why not.
- Oh I guess you're right Tula.
I was just annoyed at,
you know, not being tall.
- Well I'm sorry Groove.
But you wouldn't want to
break all those things
the tiddlypeeps have
given us would you?
- Yeah.
- [Announcer] Hubba
hubba hubba hubba.
- Hubba Hubba's back!
(Spacey bubble sounds)
- Tiddlypeeps Groove!
Now there's an idea.
Why don't you go and ask some?
They're sure to know a
way to make a Hoob taller.
- Tiddlypeeps, yeah
they'll know what to do.
But to be honest I
feel a bit too full up
to go and visit the tiddlypeeps.
- Then I'll go for you Groove.
- And I'll drive.
(Groove laughs)
(Groove munches)
- Seatbelt!
(Tula hums)

to see the tiddlypeeps!

- Want to do a Hooby Hello?
- [Children] Yes.
- [All] Hoobledoop, hoobledoop,
woop, woop, woop.
- Oh it's so good
to see you all.
Have you any idea how Groove
can make himself taller?
- He can stand on his
top toes like this!
(Groove exclaims)
- Oh that's clever,
I wonder if Groove can do that?
Are there any other
ways he can make
himself look taller?
- What about
stretching like this.
- That's it!
We've solved the problem.
Groove, can you hear me?
- [Groove] Yes!
- It's time to start
standing up on your tip toes.
- Yep!
- And reaching your
arms as high as you can.
Thank you, I must get
back to the Hoobmobile.
And oh, Hoobletoodledo!
- [Children] Hoobletoodledo!
(happy music)
(Groove groaning)
- Oh it's no good Tula,
I'm a bit taller,
but not tall enough.
- Wait a minute,
maybe we could try
stretching you a
bit more Groove.
- Hooby groovy Tula.
- Did you say stretching?
- Yeah.
- Hoobacious idea!
(Hoobs laugh)
On the floor Groove.
We are going to give you
a jolly good stretch.
I'll grab his feet.
You grab his arms.
(Iver laughs)
Right, oh thank you Groove.
(Iver grunts)
- Do you think a Hooby's
made of stretchy stuff Iver?
- We'll soon find out.
(Iver laughs)
Okay Tula, stretch!
(Hoobs groan)
- [Groove] Oh no
no, stop that hurts!
That hurts!
- Oh, sorry Groove.
We didn't mean to hurt you.
(Groove groans)
- That's all right Iver,
it'll be worth it if I'm taller.
Come on Tula.
The truth is, I don't
actually feel taller.
What I feel is, sore.
(pencil scratches)
- [Tula] Oh, you
aren't any taller.
- Hoobybother.
- [Announcer] Roma, Roma Roma.
- Don't worry Groove it's Roma.
Maybe she'll know where.
- Hoobledoop Hoobs.
Today I'm at a street parade.
Hoobloads of peeps
and tiddlypeeps
have gathered
together to have fun.
There are all sorts of
fantabby hooby things to do.
- What sort of things Roma?
- Well, there are several peeps
whose job it is to entertain
all the other peeps
by doing strange
and amazing things.
Take a look at
this for instance.
These peeps are balancing on
long sticks called stilts.
They tie the stilts
to their feet
so that their legs
seem much longer.
Before you can say hubba hubba
the peep is high up in the air.
Can you imagine a
Hoob doing that?
- [Groove] Yeah!
- I think I'll have a go myself.
Hoobletoodledo.
I'm off to have a chat
with a very tall man.
I say, you with the legs, oy!
- Hoobygallooby, we've
been looking at it
the wrong way.
- Yes of course!
(Groove laughs)
- What have we been
looking at the wrong way?
- How to make you taller Groove.
- Oh yeah.
- That peep hadn't
actually grown taller,
he was balanced
on something tall
to make him higher up.
The answer to how Groove
can reach the top shelf
without the hoobasteps is
to make him some stilts.
- Hoobygroovy stilts, hahaha.
But how?
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪
♪ How, how ♪
- Here's how, with two bits
of the broken hoobasteps.
- And some ribbon
from my hoobybits box
to tie them to your legs.
- Guys, I'm really
not sure about this.
It just seems like a crazy.
- Right, there you go,
time for you to reach up
to that top shelf.
- [Tula] Yeah!
- Oh no, wait a
minute, wait a minute.
I'm sure stilts are
hoobygroovy and everything
but I'm not sure that Hoobs
are natural stilt walkers.
- Hm Groove could
be right, Iver.
Peeps probably have to
practice for a long time.
- Yeah and it looks dangerous.
I mean if I go up
in the air on stilts
how do I get down again.
A bit quickly probably.
- But Groove, it's nearly
time for Hoob News now.
- And we still
don't have any idea
how to make Groove
reach the top shelf
without the hoobasteps.
- [Announcer] Hubba
hubba hubba hubba.
- Oh it's Hubba Hubba.
(spacey bubbling)
- Don't worry Hoobs.
Time for another visit
to the tiddlypeeps.
They're sure to be
able to help you.
- Hubba Hubba's right.
- Yeah I think I'll go to
the tiddlypeeps this time.
Before you two have any
more hooby groovy ideas.
- Yes.
- Okay, I'm driving.
Come on, let's wake
up those Motorettes
and get this hoobmobile moving.

(Groove laughs)
I was hoping you might
be able to help me.
Because I've spent ages
trying to make myself taller
so that I can reach the top
shelf of the hoobmobile.
But nothing seems to work.
- [Iver] No.
- I'm desperate to be taller,
but I don't know how
to make it happen.
I bet you'd like to be
taller too wouldn't you?
- No, I'm glad I'm small.
- Are you really?
I am surprised.
Don't you want to be
as tall as a giant?
- No, if I was as
tall as a giant
I wouldn't be able to
fit in this playhouse.
- I see what you mean.
Hadn't thought about that.
Oh hello!
In fact, if you were taller,
you wouldn't be able to play
in this playground, would you?
And if I were taller,
I wouldn't be able
to play with you!
- I'm glad you're not
any taller Groove.
- Yeah I think I am too.
Being small is hooby groovy.
But there is just one problem.
If I'm not gonna
make myself taller,
how am I going to reach the
top shelf in the hoobmobile.
- You can use one of these.
- How does that work?
- Easy, we'll show you.
- I see, you use this
pole to reach the ducks.
Now if I put the pole
up in the air like this,
maybe I'll be able to
reach the top shelf
of the hoobmobile.
- Yes, why don't you
borrow one and try it out.
- Oh really you don't mind.
Oh thank you that is so kind.
I'm gonna give it
a go right now.
- [Children] Good luck!
- Thank you tiddlypeeps.
And hoobletoodledo.
- [Children] Hoobletoodledo.
(happy music)
(Groove laughs)

out that I don't really
want to be taller anymore.

without the hoobasteps.
And get all the things down

- [Announcer] Hubba
Hubba Hubba Hubba.
- Well now hoobs.
Are you ready to give
me your hoob news
for my hoobapedia.
- We're ready Hubba Hubba.
- Then off you go.
(intense music)
- Hoobledoop 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 can Groove
reach the top shelf
without the hoobasteps.
- [Iver] We decided that
the best thing to do
would be to try and
make Groove bigger.
- [Groove] Which was great,
because I'd always
wanted to be bigger.
- [Iver] Hubba Hubba
showed us some peeps
and tiddlypeeps eating.
We thought that might be
a way of getting bigger.
- [Tula] So we tried feeding
Groove hoobloads of food.
- [Groove] But it
made me feel sick.
- [Iver] Then Hubba Hubba
showed us a hoobacious story
about a gnome that was
too small to play football
with a giant.
- [Tula] So a magician
cast a spell on him
to make him bigger.
- [Groove] So I
tried my own spell.
- But that didn't work either.
- [Iver] So I went to
visit some tiddlypeeps
who were stretching.
- [Tula] So we tried
stretching Groove instead.
- [Groove] But that hurt.
- [Iver] Then Roma
showed us some peeps
who were really high up.
- [Tula] So we made
some stilts for Groove.
- [Iver] But he was too
afraid to go up on them.
- Hey that's not fair.
It was too dangerous.
- [Tula] Well, anyways.
Groove went to visit
some tiddlypeeps.
- [Groove] And they
showed me that sometimes
it's better to be small.
- [Iver] But we were
worried that he hadn't
answered the question.
- [Groove] But the tiddlypeeps
lent me one of their
poles with a hook in the end.
And that gave me an idea.
I didn't need to
be bigger at all.
- So the answer to
today's question,
how can Groove reach
the top shelf without
the hoobasteps is...
- use a long pole with
a hook on the end!
- Fan-tabby-hooby.
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,
however tall you may be
have a nice day
and hoobletoodledo.
- [Hoobs] Hoobletoodledo.
- So because I managed to
get all that stuff down
from the top shelf,
I was able to mend
the hoobasteps.
Which means that now I
can use the hoobasteps
to get all that stuff
down from the top shelf.
- But you've already
got everything down
from the top shelf.
That's how you mended
the hoobasteps.
- But if I've already got
things off the top shelf
then I don't need the
hoobasteps anymore.
(Iver and Tula laugh)
Oh I'm confused.
