you for my great Hoobopaedia.
Here they come!

(humming)
(upbeat music)
- Oh!
(humming)
(hammer banging)
- Nope, still not flat enough.
(hammer banging)
- Has anybody
thought up a question
for today's Hoob News yet?
- No Iver, I'm trying to decide
what sort of flower
I should make.
(hammer banging)
- I can never think of a
question when I'm hungry.
I don't understand it,
these cheese sandwiches
just won't go flat.
(hammer banging quickly)
- Try hammering them
harder instead of faster.
- Good idea.
(upbeat music)
(hammer banging)
(whooshes)
Oh no!
Oh look, my Hoobie
Sandwich Hammer is broken.
What am I gonna do?
We can't eat lumpy sandwiches.
- Don't worry, Groove.
I will stick it together
with some Hoob-o-fix.
- Oh thanks, Iver
but oh do you know
I'm so hungry, Tula.
The Hoob-o-fix will
take all day to dry.
I don't think I can wait for
my Hoobie Sandwich Hammer
to be mended, I need a
Hoobie Sandwich Hammer now!
- How about trying
to borrow one?
- Borrow one?
- Yes, peeps sometimes borrow
things when they need them.
- Then that's what I'll do,
I'll borrow a Hoobie
Sandwich Hammer.
(laughs) Hoob, Hoob, hooray!
Oh, Tula, you're brilliant.
(upbeat music)
- There we are, the
Hoob-o-fix will be dry
by the time we finish Hoob News
and then you can use your
Hoobie Sandwich hammer again.
- Well thanks, Iver
but I've decided
to borrow a Hoobie
Sandwich Hammer.
A Hoob can't wait all
day for his sandwiches.
- Really? What's borrowing?
- Well, borrowing is when you...
You explain, Tula.
- Ah well, when you
borrow something, you...
- You...
- What? What do you do
when you borrow something?
- [Announcer] Hubba Hubba,
Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- Oh, here's Hubba Hubba,
looks like you've hit on the
question, Groove (laughs).
- What do you do when
you borrow something?
What a Hoobledooble duper
question for today's Hoob News.
Hoobs everywhere need to
know the answer to that.
- Yeah, particularly
this hungry Hoob,
I need to borrow a Hoobie
Sandwich Hammer and fast.
- So where do we
start, Hubba Hubba?
- Well I'll email Roma, so
she can work on a report
about borrowing and
while we're waiting
why don't you listen to this
story I just found on HoobNet?
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] Sunita
had a new bicycle.
It was red and shiny and
had a loud tinkling bell.
Bring, bring!
- Sunita!
- [Narrator] Called her mother.
- [Sunita's Mother] Come
in, it's time for lunch.
- Oh, time for lunch!
- [Narrator] Sunita
put her bicycle against
the garden wall and ran inside.
While she was indoors, Sunita's
friend Louise walked past.
Her dad had just asked
her to go to the shops,
but Louise didn't want to go.
She'd been playing all morning
and her legs were tired.
She saw Sunita's shiny
red bicycle leaning up
against the garden wall.
- If I could ride to the shops,
it would be so much quicker!
- [Narrator] She
said to herself.
- I'm sure Sunita won't mind
if I borrow her bicycle.
- [Narrator] Louise reached
the shops in no time.
As soon as lunch was over,
Sunita rushed outside again
to play on her bicycle.
But it wasn't there!
- Oh dear, it looks like
somebody has stolen it!
- [Narrator] Said her mother.
Sunita began to cry.
(sad orchestral music)
(Sunita cries)
- Aw!
- Oh!
- [Narrator] Just
then, they heard
the sound of the bicycle bell.
Bring, bring!
And who should whiz 'round
the corner but Louise?
Her saddlebag full of shopping.
(dramatic music)
- Louise! You stole my bicycle!
- [Narrator] Shouted Sunita.
- How could you?
- I didn't steal it.
- [Narrator] Insisted Louise.
- I only borrowed it
to go to the shops.
- Yes, but you have to ask
before you borrow things.
- [Narrator] Said Sunita.
- I'm sorry.
- [Narrator] Replied Louise.
- I didn't realize.
Can we still be friends?
- Of course.
- [Narrator] Said Sunita.
- If I can borrow
your roller skates.
(upbeat music)
(giggling)
- Well, borrowing is easy.
All you have to do is ask.
- Yes, ask first then borrow.
- Let's do it then!
- Yeah, Tula,
please may I borrow a
Hoobie Sandwich Hammer?
- Of course, Groove.
- Well this isn't
working, is it?
Where's the Hoobie
Sandwich Hammer?
- Well, I haven't got one.
- Well that means
I can't borrow it!
- Wait, how about I think of
something that Tula has got,
that I need to borrow.
- Go on then, Iver!
- Oh, okay,
ah, Tula?
- Mmhmm.
- Please may I borrow
your Hoobie Scissors,
because I need them to
cut out these shapes
to make a swirly, twirly mobile?
- Of course you can, oh hold on.
No, Iver, I'm sorry,
but you can't borrow
my Hoobie Scissors.
- I can't? Why?
♪ Why ♪
♪ Oh why ♪
♪ Why ♪
- Because I need them to make
a paper flower, that's why.
- Oh but, Tula!
- [Announcer] Hubba Hubba,
Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- Guess what, Hoobs?
I've been searching on HoobNet
and I've found a
place where peeps go
when they want to
borrow something.
It's called a library.
- A library, do they have
Hoobie Sandwich Hammers there?
- I don't think they do, Groove.
But let's have a look and see.
(whirrs)
(upbeat music)
Now this is one
of those libraries
I was telling you about, Hoobs.
Where these Tiddypeeps
go to borrow books.
There they are.
All carefully
choosing their books.
They need to know just the ones
they want to take
out and borrow.
(upbeat music)
And once they've chosen the
book that they want to borrow,
they write their name
down on a little card
and they put it in there
so the library knows who
has borrowed which book.
And there they all go,
off to read the books
that they've borrowed
from the library.
(whirrs)
- Hoobellygroobelly!
Libaries are such useful places.
I want to go to one
right now to borrow
a Hoobledooble duper
book, all about flowers.
- Flowers?
- Yes, so I can decide what
sort of flower to make.
Won't be long!
Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo.
Oh, I really do need to
borrow these Hoobie Scissors.
Oh no, I musn't!
You have to ask
before you borrow
and Tula's already said no.
- Oh nevermind about the
Hoobie Scissors, Iver.
We need to borrow a
Hoobie Sandwich Hammer,
or we'll have lumpy
sandwiches all day.
- You're right, Groove.
There must be somewhere
we can go to borrow one.
- Yes, but where?
♪ Where, where, where ♪
♪ Where ♪
- I haven't a clue.
- Libraries are
Hoobellygroobelly!
Look at what I've just borrowed!
A book full of
pictures of flowers.
Now, let me see.
- I need a Hoobie
Sandwich Hammer.
- Well, perhaps the Tiddleypeeps
have one you could borrow.
- [Announcer] Hubba Hubba,
Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- I was just thinking the
very same thing, Tula.
If they don't have a
Hoobie Sandwich Hammer,
perhaps they might have
something you could use instead!
- Really? Then I'll
go and ask them.
- Oh yes, and I'll drive.
Let's get those
Motorettes singing!
- And I'll start
making a daffodil.
(upbeat music)
- Seatbelt, Iver.
- Yes.
- We're off to
- We're off to

- Pibbledip Tiddlypeep.
- Hi Groove.
- (laughs) do you want
to a Hoobie Hello?
- Yeah!
- A Hoobledoop, Hoobledoop
- A Hoobledoop, Hoobledoop
- Whoop, whoop, whoop
- Whoop, whoop, whoop
- (laughs) What's your name?
- Oh I'm Amy.
- Well Amy, I hope
you can help me.
You see, I was flattening
some sandwiches
with my Hoobie Sandwich Hammer
and I broke it.
I was wondering if
you had something
I could borrow to use instead?
- Let's have a look.
(light upbeat music)
This?
- No, no that's too big.
(light upbeat music)
- What about this?
- No, I don't think that
would last too long (laughs).
I hammer my sandwiches
pretty hard (laughs).
- Okay.
Oh how about this one, Groove?
- Hoobie galooby!
That's it!
It's perfect!
(laughs) Can you see
this, Iver, Tula?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- This is just like a
Hoobie Sandwich Hammer.
- [Iver] It is.
- Well I'll lend it
to you if you like.
- Lend it to me?
That means I can
borrow it, right?
- That's it.
- Oh thank you so much, Amy.
I'm gonna go back to the
Hoobmobile and try it out.
I'm getting pretty hungry.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
(laughter)
(upbeat music)
- Look, Iver!
- Oh yes, that's
Hoobacious, Tula.
Do you know, I could be working
on my swirly twirly
mobile right now
if I could borrow
your Hoobie Scissors.
- Oh I'm really sorry, Iver
but I'm still using them.
- (laughs) Hoobie groovy!
Look at this (laughs).
Time for lunch, Iver.
(hammer banging)
- [Announcer] Roma, Roma, Roma.
- Oh here's Roma.
Maybe she knows where I can
borrow some Hoobie Scissors.
- Oh where is it?
Oh Hoobie bother, oh!
Oh Hoobledoop, Hoobs.
- Hoobledoop, Roma!
- Hoobledoop, Roma!
- Oh what a day I've had!
Hubba Hubba emailed me
and asked me to find
out all about borrowing.
So I came here to this school
to see some Tiddlypeeps
and ask them how
you borrow things.
- So what's the problem, Roma?
- Well the thing is, Iver,
that I didn't have a pencil
with me to write it all down.
So I had to borrow one from
a lovely, kind Tiddlypeep.
It was such a fantabby
Hoobie pencil,
you know, a gorgeous red one.
- Oh, I know the
kind you mean, Roma.
They're Hoobellygroobelly.
- They certainly are, Tula.
Anyway, the Tiddlypeeps told me
that when you borrow something,
you have to give it back.
- Oh, so are you gonna give
the Tiddlypeeps back
their pencil, Roma?
- Well, I've been
trying to, Groove.
The only trouble is, now that
I've borrowed this pencil,
I can't find it!
And if I can't find it,
I can't give it back!
- Oh.
- No.
- Isn't that just awful?
Oh what am I going to do?
- Dunno.
- Wait a minute, what's
this behind my ear?
- Oh!
- Oh!
- Oh it's the pencil!
- The pencil!
- Oh thank goodness.
I can give it back now.
I wonder where that
nice, kind Tiddlypeep is?
Well, I'm going to have
to go and search for her.
This is Roma Hoob, off to
return a big red pencil.
Hoobletoodledoo.
- Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobygalooby.
- Amazing.
- If you borrow something,
you have to give it back.
- When you think about it,
it's a Hoobellygroobelly idea.
I mean, I only needed this book
so I could find
some flower pictures
and now I've finished with it,
I can take it back
to the library.
- And if I borrowed
your Hoobie Scissors,
I'd have to give
them back to you
when I'd finished
cutting out my mobile.
- Oh yes, so you would.
(gasps) Hang on, you
haven't asked me.
- Oh, sorry Tula, sorry.
Please may I borrow your
Hoobie Scissors, Tula?
- Of course, Iver.
You can use them
while I'm taking my book
back to the library.
- Oh thanks, Tula.
(hammer banging)
- Oh, perfect!
You know this Tiddlypeep
toy hammer is just as good
as our very own Hoobie
Sandwich Hammer.
- Yes, it's a pity you've
got to give it back now.
- What?
- Well you heard Roma's report.
- Well I know, Iver,
but I really like this
Tiddlypeep hammer.
I want to keep it forever
and never let it go.
- But that's not how
borrowing works, Groove.
- Oh but I love it!
It's the best hammer ever.

Did it work?
- (laughs) Yeah it
was Hoobiegroovy.
I don't think I've ever
seen such flat sandwiches.
Thanks for letting me borrow it.
- That's all right, any time.
- You mean I can
borrow it again?
- Of course!
- Oh that's Hoobiegroovy!
Did you hear that, Tula, Iver?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- I can borrow the hammer again!
(laughter)
You see, at first
we didn't realize
that when you borrow something,
you have to give it back.
- That's what
borrowing's all about.
- Yes but what I
don't understand is,
why did we have to give
you the hammer back?
- Because I need it
too, for my game.
- Oh, I see.
You lent it to me and I used it
and then I gave it you
back, so you can use it
and then maybe I could
ask to borrow it again
and I could use it
and then give it back again?
Oh Hoobiegalooby, borrowing
things is Hoobiegroovy.
It means everyone gets
a chance to use them.
- Yeah, actually I
need a screwdriver.
Do you have one that
you could lend me?
- Well, I've got a Hoobie Screw,
I guess that's
like a screwdriver.
Yes of course you can borrow it,
I'll go and get it right now.
- Thanks, Groove.
- You will give it
back though, won't you?
- Of course I will.
- Okay I'll see you in a
minute, Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
(laughter)
(upbeat music)
- That's why you have
to give things back.
So that someone else
can use them too!
- Oh yes, yes exactly, Tula.
- Here you are, Iver.
This flower is for you.
- Oh thank you, Tula!
- Has anyone seen
the Hoobie Screw?
The Tiddlypeeps
want to borrow it.
- Oh I think it's
on the roof garden.
- Oh thank you, Tula.
- Groove, oh.
(somber piano music)
Well don't be long!
It's time for Hoob News.

Well Hoobs, are you all ready
to give me your Hoob News?
- We're ready, Hubba Hubba.
- We're ready, Hubba Hubba.
- Then let's go for it.
(dramatic music)
- 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 do you do when
you borrow something?
- [Iver] Groove broke his
Hoobie Sandwich Hammer
and needed to borrow another one
while he was waiting
for the Hoob-o-fix
on his own hammer to dry.
- But we didn't know exactly
what borrowing was about.
- [Tula] So first, we
listened to a story
and discovered that before
you borrow anything,
you have to ask.
- [Iver] So I asked Tula
if I could borrow
her Hoobie Scissors.
- [Groove] But she said no,
because she needed them herself.
- [Tula] Next, we
discovered that the library
is a Hoobellygroobelly
place to go
if you want to borrow a book.
- [Groove] But you can't
borrow a Hoobie Sandwich Hammer
from a library, so I went
to see the Tiddlypeeps
and they let me
borrow a toy hammer.
- [Iver] Then Roma told us
that when you borrow something,
you have to give it back.
- [Groove] That
made me feel so sad,
I didn't want to give the
Tiddlypeep hammer back.
Not until the
Tiddlypeeps told me
that I could borrow it again!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- So now we know that, if
you need to borrow something,
you ask first and then
when you've finished.
- You give it back.
- You give it back.
- Absohoobielutely!
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 Hoobledoobleduper day
and Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
- Groove?
- Yeah?
(light rock music)
This is for you.
- What, to borrow?
- No, to keep.
- Oh, Iver, thank you!
This is Hoobiegroovy!
- Oh, Groove,
please may I borrow
your Hoobie Sandwich Hammer?
- What now?
I've only just got it back.
Oh go on then,
Tula, there you go.
- Thank you.
(humming)
You can have it back now!
- Oh, thanks Tula!
(laughter)
Right, it's gotta be time
for another Hoobie
Sandwich, surely!
