(zapping)
- 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 Hoobapedia.
Here they come!

(Groove yodeling)
(Iver panting)
- All right, Groove,
Groove, we must
stop playing Hoobie Run
and Yell now, Groove.
Shush, shush, shush!
- What, what, what?
- Groove, we need a
question for HoobNews.
Come on, come on.
(Groove stammering)
- Why don't you push me?
(both laughing)
- Oh, stop, stop, stop!
Cover your eyes, hold out a paw!
- What, why?
- Why, what, what?
- I've got something
for you both.
- Oh, right.
- Oh.
(Iver clearing throat)
(Tula giggling)
- Groove, hold out your paw.
Are you peeking?
- No, I've got me eyes shut.
- Okay, Iver, there you go!
(both giggling)
- We need a question
for HoobNews, you know.
- Right, now you can look.
(both gasping)
- Hoobie Friendship Tuftlets!
- How Hoobie-groovy is that?
- I made them specially for you.
- [Both] Why?
♪ Why, why, why, why, why ♪
♪ Why, why, why ♪
- Because you're my
friends, that's why
- Hoobacious, thank you, Tula.
- And I've made
one for Roma, too.
- She'll love that.
Right, now, we really do
need a question for HoobNews.
- Hey, Tula, where's Hubba
Hubba's friendship tuftlet?
(Tula stammering)
- Well, you see, I
like Hubba Hubba a lot.
- Oh yes, so do I.
- And I thought
of making him one,
but, well, is he my friend?
I mean, how do you know
if someone's your friend?
- Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.
- Hoobiegallooby, Tula.
That's the question!
- How do you know if
someone's your friend?
That's a fantabbyhoobie
question for today's HoobNews.
Ooh, I see you've been making
friendship tuftlets, Tula.
Is there one for me?
(Tula stammering)
- I've only just
finished Iver's and--
- Will you email
Roma, Hubba Hubba,
to ask her to help
with the question?
- Of course, Iver, but first,
let me have a look
on HoobNet to see
if there's anything
to get you started.
Oh, such lovely tuftlets, Tula.
Now, friends, friends, ah-ha!
I wonder what game
they're playing, Hoobs.
Some more there playing a game.
Oh look, they're
throwing something.
- Throwing.
- And she's, ooh, bumping
into each other! (laughs)
Aren't they having Hoobacious
fun together! (laughs)
Look at them all dressing up.
Why, say, aren't they
having a giggle? (laughs)
Look at those skating Hoobs
and all those Tiddlypeeps
there having fun together.
- Oh, that's it,
friends play together.
- Course they do, yeah!
Time for another game of
Hoobie Run and Yell, I think!
I'll yell!
(yodeling)
- Wait, wait!
- Oh, Groove, Groove,
Groove, Groove!
- We need to see if Hubba
Hubba will play with us!
- Oh, you're right, Tula.
Now what game could we
play with Hubba Hubba?
- Peep and Squeak,
Peep and Squeak!
- Right, if Hubba Hubba plays
Peep and Squeak with us,
then we'll know that
he's our friend!
- [Phone] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.
- Hubba Hubba, will you play
Peep and Squeak with us?
- Peep and Squeak?
Abso-hoobie-lutely!
I haven't had a good game
of Peep and Squeak in ages!
Just remind me of
the rules again?
- We'll hide and then
you call our names
and we squeak and you have
to guess where we're hiding!
- (laughs) That's it, right!
I'll give you five Hoobaboobas!
Ready?
One Hoobabooba, two Hoobaboobas,
three Hoobaboobas,
four Hoobaboobas,
five Hoobaboobas
(Iver screaming)
Right Hoobs, here we go!
Squeak, Iver, squeak!
(Iver squeaking)
- I think your squeak is coming
from halfway up the stairs!
- Oh, you're right, Hubba Hubba!
- Splendid, splendid!
Right, now it's Tula's turn.
Squeak, Tula, squeak!
(Tula squeaking and giggling)
Would I be right in
saying that that squeak
is coming from
inside a Hoobiepod?
(boing)
(Tula and Iver laughing)
- You're right, Hubba Hubba!
- (laughs) This is
such Hoobacious fun!
Now then, last one!
Squeak, Groove, squeak!
(Groove snoring)
(Groove squeaking)
Would you, by any
chance, be hiding
in your clutter cupboard?
(Groove yawning)
(silly saxophone theme)
- Yes, Hubba Hubba.
This is a Hoobie-groovy game!
(both giggling)
- I should say it is!
I'm just going to go an see if
Auntie Hattie wants a squeak!
(laughing)
- See, Tula, Hubba
Hubba played with us,
so that makes him our friend.
- Hmm, are you sure?
Don't you think
we could have had
just as much fun
playing Peep and Squeak
with Tiddlypeeps whom
we'd never met before?
- Oh I see what you mean.
You know what, I
think we should go
and see some Tiddlypeeps.
- You go, Iver, and
I'll start making
the friendship tuftlet,
in case it turns out
that Hubba Hubba
really is my friend.
- Perfect!
Where's Groove?
Groove!
(Groove snoring)
(Groove squeaking)
Come out of there,
Groove, you're driving me
to the Tiddlypeeps!
- Seatbelt?
- Yes.
- We're off to see
the Tiddlypeeps!

(popping)
- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps!
- [Both] Hoobledoop, Iver!
- I've come to ask you a
very important question.
How do you know if
someone's your friend?
- Well, a friend is
somebody you can talk to.
- Everyone needs a
friend to talk to.
- Especially when you want
to talk about your feelings.
- Feelings?
Oh, what sort of feelings?
- You know, things
you feel inside.
- Like when you're happy
or sad or frightened.
- Oh, right.
- If you talk to your friends,
they can make you
feel a lot better.
- We Hoobs talk a lot.
- Do you talk about
your feelings,
like when you're happy
or sad or worried?
- I'm not sure, what
do you think, Groove?
- Well, I suppose
we tell each other
how worried we are
when we can't come up
with a question for HoobNews.
- That's true.
So a friend is someone
who you can talk to
to make you feel better.
- That's right!
- Oh, that's really helpful!
Thanks, thanks very
much, Tiddlypeeps.
I'd better get back
to the Hoobmobile now.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
(popping)
(orchestral music)
- So, what could we talk
to Hubba Hubba about?
- Oh, I had a really
good chat with him once
about Hooblet Tarts.
- Right, Tula,
Tula, you must talk
to Hubba Hubba
about your feelings.
- Oh, must I?
- Oh yes, Tula, then you'll know
whether to finish his
friendship tuftlet or not.
- Well, I'm not going to do
it in front of both of you.
- Well of course not.
(Groove stammering)
We'll be next door.
(upbeat music)
- [Phone] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba
(zapping)
- Hoobledoop, Tula.
- Hoobledoop, Hubba Hubba.
- I'm just in the
middle of a game
of Peep and Squeak
with Auntie Hattie.
- Oh, good!
Hubba Hubba?
- Yes?
- Sometimes, when
it's dark at night,
I lie awake in my
Hoobiepod and I don't feel
very Hoobly-groobly.
- Oh, all Hoobs get
that dark night,
un-Hoobly-groobly feeling
from time to time, Tula.
Even me!
- You?
- Oh yes, I sometimes
hear a sound
that goes, "snuffle,
snuffle, snuffle".
And I imagine all sorts
of things, I can tell you.
- But that's just a
little Hoobie mouse
snuffling around for HoobNips.
It's nothing to worry about.
- [Hubba Hubba]
Oh, are you sure?
- Yes!
- You know, just talking
about what what is me
makes me feel so much better.
- (laughing) Me
too, Hubba Hubba.
I'll let you get back
to your game, now.
- Oh yes, of course!
I'll see you later!
Squeak, Auntie Hattie, squeak!
- So that's it, then.
You talked to Hubba
Hubba about your worries,
it made you feel better, so
Hubba Hubba's your friend.
- But maybe I could have talked
to anybody about my worries.
Maybe it didn't
need to be a friend.
- Oh dear, there must
be a way of finding out
if Hubba Hubba's
your friend, Tula.
- But how?
♪ How, how, how ♪
♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪
♪ How ♪
- [Phone] Roma, Roma.
- Oh, maybe Roma knows how!
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
- [All] Hoobledoop, Roma.
- Now, you may ask why I'm
holding this dog's bowl.
- Why are you holding
that dog's bowl, Roma?
- (sighs) Thank you, Groove.
Well, my friend Dorothy
has gone on holiday,
but she didn't want to take
her dog, Stinky, with her.
(dog barking)
- Haha, Stinky.
- Yes, all right,
just coming, Stinky.
- He's loud.
- So I offered
to come in everyday to
give Stinky his tea.
- That was nice of you, Roma.
- Yes it was.
(Roma sniffing)
Because it's not
a very nice job,
I can tell you, Hoobs.
(dog barking)
Yes, yes, Stinky, be patient!
But since I'm a
friend of Dorothy's,
I wanted to help her.
You know the saying,
"a friend in need
"is a friend indeed."
- "A friend in need
is a friend indeed."
- That's right, Tula.
Here, Stinky, come
and get it, boy.
(slurping)
Oh, helping a friend
is Hoobacious.
- Stinky sounds
quite hungry, Roma.
- A bit too hungry, Tula.
This is Roma Hoob
giving a stinky tea
to a stinky dog.
(Groove laughing)
Hoobletoodledoo, oh!
- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
- Right, so a friend is
someone who helps you.
- Well, that makes Hubba
Hubba a big friend.
He's always helping us.
- You're right, Groove!
That must be it, we
must have the answer!

- So, Hoobs, how
are you getting on?
- We know the answer!
A friend is someone
who helps you!
- Yes, I suppose you're right.
But what if you break your
Hoobie Computer, Tula,
and the repair Hoob
comes to fix it?
Now, he'll help you,
but does that make
the repair Hoob your friend?
(all sighing)
- No, don't despair, Hoobs.
I've found a fantabby
Hoobie Story on HoobNet.
I think you'll find
it most helpful.
(zapping)
- [Narrator] Betty
Bee and Bessie Bee
lived together in a flower bed.
They talked to each
other all day long.
(bees buzzing)
And they helped each other
to get the best pollen
from deep inside the flowers.
On hot days, they played
chase around the roses.
And on warm nights, they snoozed
together in the foxgloves.
Betty and Bessie Bee
were very good friends.
Then, one day, Bessie
Bee turned to Betty Bee
and said, "I think it's time
"that I found a flowerbed
of my own, Betty Bee,
"Just to see what it's like."
So Bessie Bee buzzed off.
(bee buzzing)
- Betty Bee felt very sad.
- Aw, me too.
- There was no one
to play with or chat to.
And no one to
share the workload.
In fact, Betty Bee was so sad
that she stopped
collecting pollen,
she stopped flying, and
she stopped buzzing.
Then one day, Betty heard the
sweetest sound in the world.
"It's Bessie Bee, yippee!"
Bessie Bee had come home!
Betty threw her wings
around her friend
and hugged her happily.
"I can't live in a
flowerbed all on my own.
"I miss you too much.
"I'll never leave you again."
So the two friends played
chase around the roses,
collected some delicious pollen,
and, that evening, they snoozed
in their favorite foxglove.
It was just like old times!
(Hoobs giggling)
- Oh, she winked!
- Oh, I'd miss Hubba Hubba
so much if he wasn't around.
I'd miss his big
smile, his pointy ears,
the way he says,
"then, take it away!"
He must be my friend.
- Yeah, oh, hang on a minute.
I'd really miss my collections
if they weren't around,
but that doesn't mean my
collections are my friends.
- Oh, Hoobie-bother!
We're still not sure about this.
- [Phone] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.
- How's my friendship
tuftlet coming along, Tula?
- Oh, I've made a good
start, Hubba Hubba!
But we're still quite busy
answering the question!
- Oh well, the sooner
you answer the question,
the sooner you can
finish my tuftlet.
So, how about getting some help
from the Tiddlypeeps, eh?
- Right, this time, I'll go!
- I'll drive, come on.
Let's get those little

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps!
- [Both] Hoobledoop, Tula!
- You have to help me.
- Of course we will, Tula.
What can we do?
- I really, really
have to find out
how you know when
somebody's your friend.
- That's easy!
A friend's someone
you can play with!
- And someone you can talk to
when you're worried
about something.
- Talk to.
- Ah, yes.
- They're somebody
who helps you.
- And a friend is somebody you
miss when they're not there.
- But, most important, a friend
is somebody you love.
- And who loves you back.
- How does love feel?
- You get a kind of
tingly, happy feeling
deep inside you.
(Groove and Iver laughing)
- Then how do you know
if you love someone?
- Well, you just do.
They make you feel
kind of warm and safe.
- You know, they'll
do anything for you,
and you want to do
things for them.
- Oh, Tiddlypeeps, I think
I know what you mean!
I knew I wanted to make Hubba
Hubba that friendship tuftlet!
Iver, Groove, that's why
I'd miss Hubba Hubba,
because I love him!
(both giggling)
Thank you, Tiddlypeeps,
you've been the best help.
You're my friends,
too, aren't you?
- Of course we are, Tula!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
(orchestral music)
- Well, I know that
I love Hubba Hubba.
- Yeah.
- So now there's only
one thing more to find
out before I can be sure
that he is my friend.
- Oh yes.
- Iver, Groove, would you mind?
(both stammering)
- Right!
- We'll just, hmm!
(both laughing)
- [Phone] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.
- Oh, Hoobledoop, Tula.
- Hubba Hubba?
- Yes?
- Do you...?
- Do I what, Tula?
- Do you love me?
- Of course I love you, Tula!
(both sighing)
I love all of you!
(both giggling)
- He loves me, he
loves all of us!
- That's Hoobacious,
Hubba Hubba,
because we love you, too!
- Oh, Hoobs, I'm
quite overwhelmed!
I don't know what to say!
- No, neither do I, Hubba Hubba!
- I do!
It's time for me to finish
your friendship tuftlet.
- Oh, and it's
time for HoobNews!

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.
- Well, Hoobs, are
you ready to give me
your HoobNews for
my great Hoobapedia?
- [All] We're
ready, Hubba Hubba.
- Then, take it away!
(HoobNews theme)
- Hoobledoopwhoop to
all you Hoobs out there!
Welcome to HoobNews, 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 do you know if
someone's your friend?
First we found out that
friends play together.
- [Groove] So we
played Peep and Squeak
with Hubba Hubba. (laughs)
- [Tula] We weren't sure
that it was something
that you had to do with friends.
Then, the Tiddlypeeps
told us it was really good
having a special friend
because you can talk
to them about your feelings.
- [Groove] So Tula tried
this with Hubba Hubba.
- [Tula] I felt
better, but I thought
that perhaps I could talk
to anyone and feel better.
- [Iver] Then Roma told us
that friends help each other.
- [Tula] And we knew
Hubba Hubba was our friend
because he's always helping us
- [Groove] But Hubba
Hubba pointed out
that the repair Hoob helps you,
but he isn't
necessarily your friend.
Then, we heard a story
about two friends
who really missed each
other when they lived apart.
- [Tula] I knew that
Hubba Hubba was my friend
because I would definitely
miss him if he wasn't around.
- [Iver] But the
Tiddlypeeps told Tula
that a friend is
someone who you love
and who loves you back.
- [Tula] I knew I
loved Hubba Hubba,
so I asked him if he loved me.
- [Groove] And
Hubba Hubba said...
- Of course I love you, Tula!
(both sighing)
I love all of you.
- So, now I know that
Hubba Hubba is my friend.
And I have made him this
friendship tuftlet to prove it!
- Oh, Tula, it's
toally Hoobacious!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And 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 nice day and
hoobletoodledoo!
- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
- Do you know what I fancy now?
- [Both] What?
- A big friendly Hoobledigger.
- Oh, come on then!
- Oh yes!
- [All] Hooble, hooble,
