out all about you
for my great Hoobapedia.
Here they come!

(muttering)
- Let me think...
- What is the...
No No No No...Um...
Where is a...
No no no no...
Why is it that...
- Hoobadoo Tula!
- Hoobadooo Iver.
- What are you doing?
- I'm trying to think of
a question for Hoob News.
- Oh, so am I!
(giggles)
Where's Groove?
- He's out collecting
stones for his collection
of things not shaped like fruit.
- Oh.
- [Groove] Tula! Iver!
- He's back!
- Tula! Iver!
- We're here.
(heavy breathing)
- Have I missed it?
- What?
- Oh, Hoob News.
- Of course not, we haven't
even thought of a question yet.
- I was sure I'd missed it.
- Why?
(singing in unison)
♪Why? ♪
♪ Why, why, why, why ♪
♪ Why ♪
♪ Why, why, why, why ♪
♪ Why ♪
- Because I'd gotten lost.
- Oh. Lost.
- I was out collecting stones
for my things not shaped
like fruit collection.
And when I looked up, I
couldn't see the Hoobmobile.
I shouted and shouted,
but you couldn't hear me.
I thought I'd never
find my way back.
- Oh, poor you.
- You need to have
something with you
that would make a noise
louder than a shout
so we could hear you.
- Then we would have
come out to find you.
- Yeah. You're right!
- So what can Groove take with
him when he's out collecting
that will make a loud noise?
(echoing)
- [Hoob Phone]
Hubba Hubba Hubba...
- Oh, that's Hubba Hubba!
That must be the question!
- What can Groove take with
him when he's out collecting
that will make a loud noise?
That's a fantabby Hoob
question for Hoob News!
- Aw, thank you Hubba Hubba!
- And it's something
Hoobs everywhere will want
to know the answer to.
I'll email Roma and ask her
to keep her eye out
for something loud.
- There must be Hoobloads
of loud things on Hoobnet.
- Yes, and here comes some
particularly loud ones now.
(space sounds)
- [Hubba Hubba] Bells, Hoobs!
That's what these are and
there are lots of them.
And if you listen carefully
you can hear them ringing now.
(bells ringing)
See, there's a bell
high on top of a church.
There's a bigger
bell outside a church
and here is an enormous bell
that weighs almost as much
as a Hoobocactospiker!
- That's what you
need, Groove. A bell!
- If you got lost and rang a
bell, we'd be sure to hear you.
- That really big one
would be Hooby groovy.
- It certainly
would be very loud.
- Yeah, the louder
the better, eh Tule?
- It's just what you need.
- But it's too heavy!
- Is it?
- Don't you remember?
Hubba Hubba said
that those bells
weigh as much as a full
grown Hoobocaptospiker.
- Aw, that's no problem Iver.
(laughs)
- I'll go and see
what he's up to.
- Huh...hm..
- Ah! There we go. One fully
grown Hoobocactospiker.
All right then.
(grunting)
- Groove?
What are you doing?
- If this plant weighs
the same as a big bell,
I'm going to lift this to prove
that it's too heavy to take
out with me when I'm...
(gasps)
collecting.
- Oh...Um.
Now what?
(echoing)
[Hoob Phone]
Hubba...Hubba...Hubba
- Oh, it's Hubba Hubba.
- Oh, great.
(space sounds)
- Hoobledoo, Tula.
Oh, where are the others?
- Hmm...well..
- We're here Hubba Hubba.
Groove was just seeing if he
could lift a Hoobocactospiker.
- Woo! And could he?
- No.
If that's what a
church bell weighs,
then it's too heavy for me
to take with me collecting.
(laughs)
- Hmm...I once tried to
lift a Hoobocactospiker.
- Yeah?
(grunts)
I talked like this for a week!
(laughing)
- Is there another kind of bell
Groove could take with him?
- I have to say I'm not as
bell smart as I ought to be.
- Do you think the
Tiddlypeeps might know?
- I do, indeed. Good idea, Tula.
- Then lets go and
find some. I'll drive!
- And I'll ask the questions.
Let's get those
Motorettes singing!
- Seatbelts on Iver?
- Yes.
- We're off to see
the Tiddlypeeps!

- Hoobledoo Tiddlypeeps
- Hoobledoo Groove!
- Do you want to
do a Hooby hello?
- Yes!
- Hoobledoo,
hoobledoo. Woo Woo Woo.
(laughing)
- Now, I've got a really really
important question to ask you.
- What's that?
- I need to know what
sort of bells you use?
- We don't really
use bells, Groove.
- Oh, that's a shame. I was
rather hoping that you did.
- We do use door bells.
- Door bells?
- Yes, when we go to
other people's houses.
- You do? Aw, that's
really Hooby groovy!
(laughs)
So what's a door bell then?
- It's a bell that tells you
if someone is at the door
and wants to come in.
Wait there. I'll show you!
- Where's Flora gone?
- Wait. Listen.
(door bell rings)
- Ah! Hooby galooby! Tula!
Iver! Did you hear that?
- Yes, yes.
- What do you call that again?
- A door bell.
- Yeah that's it. A door bell.
Iver, order a door
bell from Hoobnet!
Definitely sounds like the
kind of bell we're after.
Hey, thanks Tiddlypeeps.
You've been a big help.
- Anytime, Groove!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
(laughing)
(rock music)
- This doorbell
should do the trick.
Groove can take this
bit with him and ring it
when he needs us to
know where he is.
- Aw yes, the door bell
is the thing for me.
Thank you Tula. Oh, that's
good. Not too heavy.
- Try it out then Groove.
Take it away from the
bus and start to ring it
and then we'll come
out and find you.
- Hooby groovy!
Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hm. Oh.
(giggles)
We just have to wait
for him to ring it now.
I'm sure he'll do it soon.
- Yes, but when?

(door bell ringing)
- [Tula] (gasps)
- Oh Hooby bother, Tula!
It's ringing in here and
Groove's not in here!
- Where were you?
I pressed and
pressed the door bell
and nothing happened.
(door bell ringing)
- There, that's better.
- The problem is, Groove.
The bell rang in here,
and you weren't in here.
- No, I was out there.
- So it didn't tell
us where you were.
- [Hoob Phone] Roma Roma Roma...
- Never mind, Groove.
Here comes Roma.
Maybe she has the answer.
(space music)
- Hoobledoo Hoobs!
- Hoobledoo Roma!
- Now, Hubba Hubba emailed me
to see what I could
find out about bells,
so here I am at a
Campanologist's club.
- What's a campanologist, Roma?
- It's someone
who likes camping.
- (laughs) No, Groove, Ha!
It's someone who likes
to really ring a bell.
Now, as you can see,
bell ringers come in
all shapes and sizes.
And so do their bells.
Every size makes
a different sound.
- Different sound?
Why's that, Roma?
- So, Groove, when they
put them all together,
they make a fantabby hooby tune.
Isn't that the most Hobbacious
thing you've ever heard?
- Yeah.
- Now, I found this one
and thought I might have
a gentle tinkle myself.
Hoobledoodledoo!
(bell ringing)
- Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hooby galooby!
I need a hand bell!
It's not too heavy and
it rings wherever I am.
And not in the Hoobmobile.
- I'll order one for
you right away, Groove.
- Aw, thank you Iver.
Aw, Tula. I can't wait
to try out a hand bell.
I know it's the bell for me.

we going to do now?

Hubba Hubba Hubba...
- Shhh..Groove!
It's Hubba Hubba!
- It's what? Oh, Sorry!
(space sounds)
- Never mind, Groove!
A Tiddlypeep sent me a story
which just might ring your bell
(chuckles)
Take a look.
(space sounds)
(birds chirping)
(pirate music)
- [Narrator] Vinegar Tom
lived on a sailing ship.
(meows)
All the sailors loved him.
But Pip, the cabin boy,
loved him most of all.
Now, on this ship,
there was a big loud
bell called Bertram.
He was rung three
times a day for meals.
(bell dongs)
Each time Bertram bell was rung,
Vinegar Tom was so
frightened that he hid.
He tried to meow,
but he was so scared
that no meow would come out.
So he just shook with fear.
Then Pip would spend
hours looking for him.
This made the
Captain very cross.
The cat will have to go.
He wastes so much of your time.
Pip sadly started to
tidy up the galley.
He opened a drawer and
there inside was a tiny bell
on a blue ribbon.
Once she had been worn around
the neck of a very pretty lady
but now everyone had
forgotten about her.
Pip had a great idea.
He took the bell
out of the drawer
and hung her around
Vinegar Tom's neck.
A few minutes later,
Bertram bell was rung.
(bell dongs)
Vinegar Tom ran and
hid as he always did.
He tried to meow but
nothing came out.
He just shook with
fear but as he shook,
the little bell tinkled.
Pip heard the tinkle and
rushed to find Vinegar Tom.
Everybody cheered
and from that day on,
Pip could always
find Vinegar Tom
because of the little
tinkling bell around his neck.
(space sounds)
- That's it!
I can wear a bell around my
neck, just like Vinegar Tom.
Both my hands will be
free for collecting
and you'll be able to
hear me wherever I go.
- Now all you need
is a cat's bell.
(giggles)
- Where are you going?
- I've got something in my
collection of things that tinkle
that will be just perfect!
(rings bell)
Things that clang.
That will go in there.
Things that wear.
That's no good.
Things that tinkle.
(bell jingles)
- Groove! That is Hoobly
Groovy. Let me put it on you.
- That tickles!
Not too tight Tula.
(bell jingles)
- Yes I think we've done it.
- Now you two go back
to the Hoobmobile
and I'll tinkle my bell
and you come and find me.
- Sounds like a plan to me!
(bell jingles)
(sighs)
(bell faintly jingles)
- Is he going to tinkle
that bell or not?
(bell faintly jingles)
- Tula!
Iver!
- It's Groove.
- There you are.
Why didn't you come
to look for me?
- Oh, um. We didn't
hear the bell.
- Well I was tinkling
it like this.
(bell faintly jingles)
- We still didn't hear
it. It's not loud enough.
- [Hoob Phone]
Hubba...Hubba...Hubba
(space noises)
- Hoobledoo Hoobs.
Still having trouble?
- One bell is too heavy.
Another is too awkward.
Another is not not loud enough.
- Why don't you go and
visit the Tiddlypeeps again?
I bet there are some
nearby who could help.
- Right. Come on
Groove. Never give up.

- Hoodledoo Tiddlypeeps!
- Hoodledoo, Groove!
- What are you doing?
- We're looking at
pictures of animals.
- Animals?
- How hooby groovy is that?
What kind of animals?
- All sorts.
- Mind if I have a look?
- No. Of course not.
- [Groove] What's that?
- [Boy] That's a mountain goat
- Oh!
- A mountain goat? What's
that around his neck?
- [Boy] That's his bell so
the farmer knows where he is
all the time.
- Hooby galooby! That's
just what I'm looking for!
It's big enough to make a noise.
But it'll leave my hands
free for collecting.
Where can I get one?
- We don't have a goat bell.
- But we do have a cow bell.
- A cow bell? What's that?
- It's one of these.
My gran went to Switzerland
and she brought it back for us.
- Hooby galooby! That's perfect!
Iver! Tula! You see that?
Ask Hubba Hubba to order
us one from Hoobnet.
This could be the bell for me.
(giggling)
- [Groove] Thanks Tibbly Peeps,
you've been Hoobloads of help.
I better get back to the
Hoobmobile now. See if it works!
Hoobletoodledo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
(gasping)
- The cow bells arrived!
- Isn't it Hooblygroobly?
- Aw, look at that!
Wait right here.
- It's just got
to work this time
or we don't have an
answer for Hoob News!
- All right then, first
thing something to collect...
ah, this stone will do.
And then I will
pretend that I am lost.
Oh, help me! I am
lost! I am lost!
And then I'll ring the bell.
(bell ringing loudly)
- It worked!
- We hear you Groove!
- It's time for Hoob News!

(space sounds)
(laughs)
- Well Hoobs, are you ready
to give me your Hoob News
for my Hoobapedia?
- We're ready!
- Then take it away!
(upbeat music)
- Hoobledoowoop! 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 Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question
- What can Groove take with
him when he's out collecting
that will make a loud noise?
- [Iver] The first thing Hubba
Hubba showed us, were lots
of big bells.
- [Tula] We decided that
Groove needed a bell.
- [Groove] But
what sort of bell?
It turns out, a big bell
weighs as much as a full grown
Hoobocactospiker.
That's much too heavy
to take out collecting.
- [Iver] So we went to
see the Tiddly Peeps.
- [Groove] And they told
me all about door bells.
- [Iver] But a door
bell didn't work.
Because the bell rang
inside the Hoobmobile
so it didn't tell
us where Groove was.
- [Tula] Then Roma told
us about hand bells.
And Groove decided that that
was definitely the bell for him
- [Groove] Except
that it wasn't.
It only left me with one
Hooby paw to collect with.
- [Tula] Then Hubba Hubba
found a story about a cat
who wore a tinkly
bell around his neck.
- [Groove] But the
tinkly bell was too quiet
- [Iver] So we went
back to the Tiddly Peeps
- [Groove] They were looking
at pictures of animals
that all had bells
around their necks.
- And that helped us
find just the thing.
(bell ringing loudly)
- Ha! A cow bell! It's
the perfect bell for me
to take with me when
I'm out collecting.
- [Hubba Hubba] Ding dong!
So it's thanks once again
to Iver, Tula, Groove and Roma
for giving Hoobs everywhere
a little peep into
the world of Peeps.
Remember wherever you
are have a nice day
and Hooble toodle do!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
- Right, that's it.
I'm off collecting now.
I'll ring my bell if I get lost.
- Now, what we'll...
(bell ringing loudly)
- Groove! Are you lost already?
(bell ringing loudly)
- Nope! I just really
like ringing the bell!
(laughing)
