Post by bunniefuu »

- Hoobledoop, 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 Hoobopedia.

Here they come!

(zany music)

(upbeat music)

♪ Now the wheels are turning ♪

♪ We can all get learning ♪

♪ All the things

we want to know ♪

♪ Hubba Hubba's in Hoobland ♪

somewhere far away ♪

♪ Hoobs! ♪

(Groove hums)

- Come on little Hooby

humming plant. You can do it!

(plant hums)

- Oh Hooby Groovy

- (chuckles) Hoob Hoob Hooray!

You've been hoobd Iver!

The Hooby Spinner

is pointing at you!

That means you get

to do the dare!

- Yes!

(stutters) I mean, oh no!

I'm doomed!

What do I have to do again?

- Hop around the Hooby Spinner

while saying as many

Hoobledoops as you can!

- How Hoobacious!

Here I go then,

the Purple Tornado!

Hoobledoop, Hoobledoop

Hoo, Hoo, Hoo

Hoobledoop, Hoobledoop

- I'm really sorry about

this Hooby humming plant.

- Hoobledoop, Hoobledoop!

(exhales loudly) Oh Tula!

- (chuckles) Well done Iver,

that was six Hoobledoops!

Now its your turn to

spin the Hooby Spinner.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Just one more okay?

And then we really will

have to think up a

question for Hoobnews.

What's the dare this time?

- Oh! I've got one.

Whom ever the Hooby

Spinner points to

has to sing Hoobnews

on their own.

- (gasps) Sing Hoobnews?!

- Yes!

And they have to dance

at the same time!

- Tula!

That's a Hoobledooble

Dooper dare!

- Thank you. (both chuckle)

- Right. Here goes!

- [Iver and Tula] Hooby

Spinner! Hooby Spinner!

where will you land?

Spinning and spinning

as fast as you can.

- Will it point to him?

- Or will you point to me?

- [Iver and Tula] Hooby

Spinner! Hooby Spinner!

Wait and see!

- (gasps) Its Groove!

- [Iver and Tula] Oh Groove!

(both chuckle)

- What is it?

I'm trying to do the

Twizzletush shake

while the Hooby humming

plant is humming,

and you keep on make--

Oh no!

Has the Hooby Spinner did

what I think it's done?

- Yes!

Its pointing to you, Groove!

- The Hooby Spinner has spoken!

- What's the dare?

- Singing Hoobnews

all on your own,

whilst dancing!

- No way!

I wasn't playing.

- But singing and dancing are

Hooblygroobly things to do.

- Yes, they are Tula.

But not on Hoobnews in

front of Hoobs everywhere.

- You can do it.

We'll help you.

- You will?

- Of course!

Now, how can we help

Groove to sing Hoobnews

on his own, whilst

dancing at the same time?

(mystical music)

- Ah no, don't tell me

that's today's question.

- Yes it is. How can we

help Groove to sing Hoobnews

on his own, whilst

dancing at the same time?

Hoobs everywhere will want

to know the answer to that.

And I can't wait

to see it, Groove.

- I can.

- I'll just email

Roma so she can think

of some way of helping you.

- But I don't want

to sing Hoobnews

and dance at the same time.

- Oh, come on Groove. Why?

♪ Why why why ♪

♪ Why ♪

- Because I don't, that's why.

- Maybe you will, after you

see what I found out about

singing and dancing on Hoobnet.

Here take a look.

Oh, look at those

lovely costumes.

Oh, she's singing

and dancing, Hoobs.

Aren't those Tiddlypeeps

having a lovely time?

Look at them

dancing and singing,

and in such lovely clothes.

Oh look at those two

Tiddlypeeps. (laughs)

Hoobletoodledoo!

- Hoobigalooby! Now I

really want to dance.

- Did you see how much fun

those peeps were having?

- Oh yes!

- Yes but they

weren't in front of

all Hoobs everywhere, were they?

I mean, don't get me wrong,

I love singing and dancing

as much as the next Hoob.

But whenever I think

about doing it in front of

anyone I don't know,

all my twizzletush

starts to shiver, my

tummy starts to quiver

and I get all--

- Groove, it sounds to

me as if you're shy.

- Well, maybe I am. Or maybe

a cheese sandwich will help.

- Wait Groove, it's it's Roma.

Let's see what she's found out.

- Hoobledoop Hoobs.

- [Hoobs] Hoobledoop Roma.

- Now, I've come here to

meet a large crowd of peeps.

And guess what? I've got

to speak to all of them.

And I'm a bit nervous,

I can tell you.

- But why Roma?

- Yes, you're used to

speaking to peeps, aren't you?

- Well, yes Tula I

am, but I don't know

any of these peeps.

They're all strangers.

Um, well, I've got a bit shy.

- What are you

going to do, Roma?

- Well Groove, I'm going

to do what I always do

in this kind of situation.

I'm going to practice.

I'll speak to a

few of them first,

then when I get less shy,

I'll speak to them all.

- Hoobigalooby. So practicing

makes you less shy?

- Hoho, yes Groove. Once

I've been speaking to them

for a little while, my shyness

will be completely gone.

This is Roma Hoob,

off to give some peeps

a good talking to.

Hoobletoodledoo.

- [Hoobs] Hoobletoodledoo.

- Groove, where are you?

- You check the

clutter cupboard.

I'll check outside and then

we'll both check the garden.

- Huh, check.

(gentle guitar music)

- Did you find him?

- No, I... Tula, do

Hoobclimbers move?

- Only in the wind.

- And are Hoobclimbers

st*lks furry?

- Not usually.

- Oh, come out Groove!

(Groove sighs)(Tula gasps)

- You want help or not?

- Not.

- Roma said that if you

want to stop feeling shy

in front of hoobloads of peeps,

then you have to practice.

(Groove sighs)

- But how?

♪ How, how, how,

how, how, how, ♪

♪ How, how, how,

how, how, how, how. ♪

- I don't know how.

I can't practice

doing Hoobnews until it's

time for Hoobnews (snickers)

Then it's too late.

(mystical music)

- Quick, its Hubba Hubba.

- Oh, I, move Groove.

- Uh, yeah, yeah, oh, whoa!

(playful trumpet music)

(floor cracks)

- We're here Hubba Hubba. We

were just up in the garden

talking about getting

Groove to practice

what he has to do.

- Ah, an excellent idea.

I remember feeling very shy

when I was a young Hoob, Groove.

But practice got me out of it.

- Yes but, um we're

not sure how to do it.

- You might be after you

see this fantaby hoob story,

I just received from a

Tiddlypeep. Take a look.

(enchanted flute music)

- [Narrator] Once upon a

time, there was a little boy

called Tenason, who wrote poems

for everyone in his village.

The blacksmith wanted a

poem to tell his horses

while he re-shoed them.

"Hammer, hammer, tip tap top,

"now off you go, clippity clop."

And the hairdresser wanted

poems for each new hairdo.

"Will you have it short?

Will you have it long?

"Cut cut, snip snip.

Whoops it's all gone."

- Huh, that's good.

- Yeah

- [Narrator] And a good

poem helped grandad

off to sleep each night.

One day, Tenason was asked

to give a poetry reading

at the village fair.

"I can't!" He cried. "I'm

too shy to read out loud"

But grandad had a good idea.

"Let's read it out

together." He said.

So mum and dad and

grandad and Tenason

all started to read

the poem together.

After the first line,

dad stopped reading.

But Tenason, mum and

grandad carried on.

Then mum stopped reading.

But Tenason and

grandad carried on.

Then just before

the end of the poem,

grandad stopped reading

but Tenason carried on.

- He's on his own.

- [Narrator] "So we

curl up in our beds

"to rest our weary heads.

And with one final yawn,

"we can dream away 'till dawn."

"Hooray!" everyone shouted.

"I can do it, I can

do it!" Cried Tenason.

"Yes." Grandad said.

"If you practice,

"then you soon find that

your shyness goes away."

"Let me do it again!"

Shouted Tenason, and he did.

(audience applauds)

- Aw, that was a

hoobacious story!

Now, what we need to do is

to help you go and practice

just like Tenason did.

- But I'll be able to

do it in front of you.

- I know, Groove!

We'll get you to do it

in front of Hubba Hubba.

- Hoobledoop Hoobs. Wasn't

that a fantaby hooby story?

- Yes Hubba Hubba,

we're going to do the

hooby spinner poem for you.

- We are?

- We'll start together,

as they did in the story,

then I'll drop out.

- And, and, then I'll drop out.

Then you'll be left doing

it on your own, Groove.

- But I know Hubba Hubba,

it's not the same as doing

something in front of

hoobloads of Hoobs.

That's what makes

me feel all shy.

- Of course it is Groove,

but I've had an idea.

Why don't you go and say

the hooby spinner poem

to some Tiddlypeeps

whom you don't know?

- All right if I have to.

- Good thinking Hubba Hubba.

- Seatbelt?

- Yes, thank you.

- We're off to see

the Tiddlypeeps!

- [Tiddlypeeps]

Hoobledoop Groove!

- Hoobledoop Tiddlypeeps!

Oh no is, is that

a hooby spinner?

Don't spin it, whatever you do.

Those things are trouble.

- Don't worry Groove, it's

only a part of our game.

It tells us how far to move.

- Do you want to join in?

- Uh, no thank you.

(Tula and Iver sighs)

- Don't be shy.

- Oh, oh, that, that reminds me.

That's why I'm visiting

you, because, because

I'm feeling shy today.

- Well that's okay,

everyone gets shy sometimes.

- Everyone?

- Everyone?

- I get shy if I have

to read out aloud

in front of the class.

- What do you do?

- Well, it gets easier

if you practice.

- Oh, oh yeah. And

that's the other reason

I'm visiting you. I

need to practice my poem

in front of someone, to see

if it'll stop me feeling shy.

Will you help me?

- Yes of course.

- Ah, great.

Uh, here it goes.

(clears throat)

Hooby spinner, Hooby

spinner, where will you land?

Spinning and spinning,

as fast as you can.

Will you point to him?

Or will you point to me?

Hooby spinner, hooby spinner,

(Tula whispers)

wait and see.

(Tiddlypeeps cheers)

- Well done Groove.

- Yeah, that was great.

- Aw, thanks Tiddlypeeps.

You've made me feel hoobygroovy.

Yeah, much less shy.

Hoobletoodledoo!

- Hoobletoodledoo!

(Groove laughs)

(majestic playful music)

- I knew he could do it.

- Oh yes! I'm sure

he'll have no problem

singing and dancing

Hoobnews now.

- [Groove] Will you land on him?

Or will you land on

me? Hooby spinner,

hooby spinner, wait and see!

(laughs)

- Well done Groove!

- Oh thank you, thank you.

- Now you can say poem

to the Tiddlypeeps,

are you ready to do

Hoobnews all by yourself

in front of Hoobs everywhere?

- Oh I think I can do that.

- The only trouble is,

you're not supposed to be

saying it, you're

supposed to be singing it.

- Ha, oh uh I don't

think I can do that.

- Oh, come on Groove. Why not?

- Well because, the

thought of singing in front

of hoobloads of Hoobs,

makes me feel all shy again.

- Hoobledoop Hoobs!

How's it all going?

- Hubba Hubba, Groove doesn't

want to sing Hoobnews.

- Yeah, I'm still

feeling shy about it.

- Do remember what I

showed you on Hoobnet.

Some of the peeps

were wearing costumes.

- Well yes, but what difference

will that make, Hubba Hubba?

- Well, I remember

dressing up as Heracio,

the Hoobland hero

once when I felt shy

and my shyness just disappeared.

- Hoobigalooby, Groove!

I'm going to dress you up

as a hero! Now let's

see what I've got,

in my Hoobybits box.

(Groove grunts)

There we go.

- I don't think a

few hats and scarfs

gonna help me stop

feeling shy, Tula.

- Well you won't

know until you try.

(Tula grunts)

- Ah ha! Just as I thought.

I have just found the

clothes for Groove the Great.

- Groove the Great?

- The one and only.

- Huh, I like the sound of that.

- Uh, Groove. How

do you feel now?

- I feel quite hooby

groovy actually Iver.

Groove the Great,

at your service.

- Why don't you

see if you can sing

to some Tiddlypeeps now?

- No problem, and

there's no need to drive.

Superheros fly!

- Oh ha ha

- I think I'll

better drive anyway.

- It's going awfully well,

isn't it Hubba Hubba?

- They did it!

- Yes!

- [Groove] Thank you, thank you.

You are too kind. You know,

I feel as if my shyness

is almost completely gone away.

You two have really helped me.

- It's easy to stop

feeling shy when

your friends are helpful

and understanding.

- [Groove] Yes, that's true,

but what if I feel so shy

at the last minute that

I can't sing Hoobnews.

Iver and Tula will

be so disappointed.

- But it's okay to feel shy.

- Yes, of course it

is, you're right.

Iver! Tula! Did you hear

that? It's okay to feel shy.

- We heard it Groove.

- Aw thank you Tiddlypeeps,

you've really helped me.

I better get back to

the Hoobmobile now.

So Hoobletoddledoo!

- [Tiddlypeeps] Hoobletoddledoo!

(Groove laughs)

(majestic playful music)

- Are you thinking what

I'm thinking, Tula?

- That perhaps we haven't

been very understanding.

(Iver and Tula sighs)

- How hoobygroovy was that, aye?

I'm Groove the Great, that's me.

- Groove, you know if you

don't want to sing Hoobnews,

we don't mind at all.

- No, no, if you

start feeling too shy

at the last minute,

um, it doesn't matter.

- I was feeling shy, as can be.

- It's okay to feel shy.

- No, don't worry

I'm ready to go Tula.

Bring on Hoobnews,

let me have it.

- Hoobygalooby! Well let's go!

- Yeah

(Iver snickers)

- Oh no! We've

forgotten something.

- What?

- Well he's supposed

to dance as well.

(Tula gasps)

(Groove sighs)

- Hoobybother, dance?

Ugh, I don't think

I can dance in

front of everyone.

- You know, I think I'm

feeling shy after all.

(Tula gasps)

- Wait Groove!

You could do the

Twizzletush shake.

You've been practicing

that today with your

Hooby humming plant.

- You're right Tula. I

like the Twizzletush shake.

- Yes!

- [Groove] And I'm rather

good at it, aren't

I? Yeah. (laughs)

- Oh that's

hooblygroobly Groove.

(Groove laughs)

- Right, I'll just take a

couple of deep breathes.

(inhales fast) and then

I'll join you in the

Hoobnews studio.

what do you think?

- It's hoobacious, Hubba Hubba.

- I knew you'd

like it, Iver haha.

Now are you ready

to give me your

Hoobnews for my

great Hoobapedia?

- Um, well, well,

yes um, we think so.

- Then, take it away.

(Iver quivers)

- Where is he?

Hoobnews, the, the, the new

show for Hoobs everywhere.

(stutters) I'm Iver.

- Um, I'm Tula.

- And I'm

(Tula and Iver sighs)

Groove the Great.

- And today we've been

asking the question

- How can we help Groove

to sing Hoobnews on his own

whilst dancing at the same time.

- But we're not sure if

we've answered it yet.

- Oh yes we have. Give us

a note Hooby hummer plant.
