(plucky guitar music)

(slaps down cards)

- (Iver grunts)

(slaps down card)

(Iver grunts)

(slaps down card)

(Iver sighs)

(cards slapped down)

- [Iver] Hoobysnap

- The Hoobysnap, hoobysnap,

snap, snap, snap!

(Iver laughing)

- I win, I win!

- Yeah, right.

- Look what I've got, dah nah!

- Hoobysnap!

- No Hoobysnap, hoobysnap,

snap, snap, snap!

(Iver laughs)

- Um, excuse me, dah nah?

- No Groove, I win.

- No I said it the loudest.

- I said it first.

- Shush!

Quieten down for

a minute will you?

And see what I've just

printed from Hoobnet.

- [Iver] Looks like a

hoobynut loaf to me.

- But it isn't just

any old hoobynut loaf.

It's the biggest

hoobynut loaf ever!

- Oh Hooby-galooby!

- It contains, wait for it...

hoobynuts.

- Oh that's a lotta nuts!

- It's nearly as big as a Hoob!

- We've got loads of hoobynuts

on our hoobynut tree, Tula.

- Well if we've

got more than ,

I can make an even bigger

hoobynut loaf than this one.

All we need is some hoobygoop.

- Oh yes and you'll need some

other things too, I expect.

- Oh, you're right Iver.

For a start I'll have

to find something

to make it in, won't I?

- Yes, yes, yes you will.

Yes, now what does

Tula need to make

the biggest hoobynut loaf ever?

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba

- That's the question Tula.

- (whispering) What

does Tula need to make

the biggest hoobynut loaf ever?

- Hubba Hubba, why

are you whispering?

- Shush, shush,

Auntie Hattie's here.

She's having a nap.

She's worn out from making

the biggest hoobnip tart ever.

Just look at it.

- I am, it's hoobygroovy.

- Yes Groove, but I

can't have a nibble

until Auntie Hattie wakes up.

Now I emailed Roma to send her

on a nut hunt for you Tula.

But first of all, let

me see what I can find

on Hoobnet to start you off.

(robotic noises)

(instrumental music)

- Now I think that'd

be a bit too big, Tula.

That might be a bit small.

Those'd be too small too.

None of these are really

big enough, are they Tula?

Those little pots,

they're all too small.

That's definitely too small.

That box isn't right.

That's too big, that lorry.

But look a shiny

dustbin, that'd be right.

(robotic noises)

- A huge dustbin, that will

be perfect for my loaf.

- Yeah now what we

need is hoobynuts.

- You two go and start picking

and I'll order the bin.

- Yeah come on Iver, the

sooner we pick our nuts,

the sooner we'll

have our big loaf.

(Iver laughs)

(calm guitar strumming)

- Hurry up Tula, we're

going to drop them.

(Tula breathing heavily)

(dustbin clatters down)

- Or eat them (laughs).

- Oh stop it Groove.

- Sorry.

(hoobynuts ping

on bottom of bin)

- Hoobygroovy noise.

- Yes but it's going

to take us ages

for us to pick of them.

- Especially if Groove

keeps eating them.

(hoobynut thumps

on bottom of bin)

- Sorry.

- Hm, we definitely

need to get those nuts

down from the tree more quickly.

- Hm, but how?

♪ How, how, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how ♪

♪ How, how ♪

- [Echoing Voice]

Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma

- Huh, Roma might

know how, come on.

- Hoobledoop Hoobs.

- [In Unison] Hoobledoop Roma.

- Now Hubba Hubba

tells me you're trying

to make a big nut loaf.

Well I've found

exactly what you need.

- Oh Roma, really?

- Oh yes Tula.

Have you ever seen a

bigger nut than this?

- Hoobygalooby, it's huge.

- It certainly is Groove.

I've been finding out

all about big nuts.

And this is the

biggest there is.

It's called a coconut.

- I've got one of those in

my Hardened-hairy Collection.

- But Roma we're trying to

make a big loaf out of nuts.

Not a loaf out of one big nut.

- Really, well never

mind, it was worth coming

just to see how the Peeps

here get to their nuts.

Look at this, they

shin-up these palm trees

like this chap to where

the nuts grow at the top

and then they cut them down.

When they first grow

they're green like this.

- But none of this

is going to help us

pick all the nuts we

need quickly, is it Roma?

- Quickly, why

didn't you say so?

There's more that one way

to get nuts off a tree.

Watch!

Come on, come on.

Here we go!

(nuts thump on the ground)

Whoa!

- Roma are you okay?

- Oh I think so Tula.

Anyway, I've got

hoobloads of coconuts now.

This is Roma Hoob by some palm

trees about to eat her nuts.

Hoobletoodledoo, oh.

- [In Unison] Hoobletoodledoo!

- That's the way

to do it, come on.

(peppy organ music)

- Okay after three hooberboobers

we shake the tree, right?

- [In Unison] One hooberboober.

Two hooberboobers,

Three hooberboobers.

Shake!

(nuts crashing in to the bin)

- [Groove] Wah hey!

- Hoobacious!

- Oh there must be at

least nuts here.

(Iver laughs)

(nut drops)

- Ouch!

(Groove laughs)

- What then...

(hoobynuts rattle in dustbin)

- It's a hoobygroovy noise Tula.

(hoobynuts rattle in dustbin)

- Stop it Groove.

(hoobynuts rattle in dustbin)

Stop!

(hoobynuts rattle in dustbin)

Shush!

- Sorry, hoobygalooby

that's given me an idea.

(jazzy guitar picking)

- Groove are going

to help us with this?

No he's not, come on Tula.

Let's get this lot down stairs

and you can start

counting your nuts.

OH!

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

- Heavier than you think.

(Groove laughs to himself)

- Move Groove!

- Oh sorry.

(Tula and Iver grunt)

- Right then, listen to this.

(drumming loudly)

- [Iver] Ahh!

(drumming loudly)

- Is that hoobygroovy or what?

(drumming loudly)

- Shoooooosh!

- I'm sorry Tula but

it makes a great drum.

- Nevermind that

Groove, we're trying to

make a great loaf

not a great drum.

Right, I'm going to

need something to

stir it all up with.

- Yes, something like a stick.

- Hm, no, no, no,

no, no, not so quick.

I'm sorry but this is definitely

a drumming on the bin stick

and not a stirring the

hoobynut loaf stick.

- But Groove, we need a

stick to stir it all up.

- Oh look, this is too small.

It won't even reach

the bottom, look.

- Oh well we must

find something to

stir up the loaf, but what?

♪ What, what, what, what ♪

♪ What ♪

(Low Tuba note)

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba

- Maybe Hubba Hubba will know.

(loud crash)

- Shush Groove!

- [Iver And Tula] Shush!

- We don't want to wake

Auntie Hattie, do we?

Now how's it all going?

- We need a stirrer Hubba Hubba.

And Groove's stick

isn't long enough.

- Well, perhaps you should

visit the Tiddlypeeps?

They're bound to have an idea.

- (Iver giggles) I'll go.

- And I'll drive.

- And I'll bang.

(loud crash)

- Shush Groove!

- Sorry.

(birds chirping)

- Seatbelt?

- Seatbelt.

- We're off to see

the Tiddlypeeps.

(low drum tones)

(popping sound)

- [Iver] Hoobledoop Tiddlypeep!

- Hoobledoop Iver!

- Want to do a Hooby hello?

- Yes!

- [In Unison]

Hoobledoop, hoobledoop

whoop, whoop, whoop!

- Now I wonder if

you can help me?

I'm looking for some

kind of long stick.

- What about one of these?

- Hm, well it's a good

idea but I think it

might be a bit too short.

(blows low tones in didgeridoo)

- [Groove Laughing]

That's hoobygroovy!

- Peekalooby what's that?

- It's a didgeridoo.

- A didgeridoo that

hoobacious, what a great sound.

Um can I try?

- Oh course but it's

quite hard to play.

- Oh! (laughs)

- [Tula] Go on Iver.

(Takes a deep breath)

(Let's out breath quickly)

Oh I think you must...

(makes a tight high

constricted noise)

Bah!

- You're supposed

to blow not suck

and don't forget to

breathe then blow.

(makes a tight

constricted noise)

- [Tula] Come on.

- Oh dear, it's a not

a didgeridoo for me,

it's a didgeri-don't.

(laughs)

Oh anyway, I'm supposed to

be looking for a long stick.

Something to stir with.

- I don't think we have

anything like that.

- Hoobygalooby, wait a minute.

The didgeridoo is a

really long stick.

Oh course, Tula, Groove, quick,

order a didgeridoo from Hoobnet.

- Are you going to use a

didgeridoo as a stirrer, Iver?

- Well yes, why not?

It's the perfect length to

go in the bin full of nuts.

Thanks ever so

much for the idea.

Hoobletoodledoo!

- Hoobletoodledoo!

(popping sound)

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Do not bang the

bin again Groove.

- Oh!

(playing didgeridoo)

- Bah, it's here.

Our hoobacious didgeridoo

stirrer is here.

(Tula gasps)

(playing didgeridoo)

- Oh that is hoobygroovy!

- Yes but it's not for

blowing, it's for stirring.

Right, we've got the bin.

- The bin.

- We've got the stirrer.

- The stirrer.

- We've got the hoobygoop.

- Hoobygoop.

- We've got the nuts.

- Nuts!

- Oh hang on, have

we got nuts?

You better count them Tula.

- Count them? What all of them?

- Oh yes, be sure

to count every one.

- One, two, three, four.

- One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

(jazzy piano music with drums)

- Take it away Iver.

(jazzy piano music with

drums and didgeridoo)

- Sixteen, seventeen,

no, no, is that right?

I'll start again,

one, two, three.

♪ Two hundred and hoobynuts ♪

♪ Count them steady

and count them slow ♪

♪ Two hundred and hoobynuts ♪

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba

- So, how's the hoobynut loaf?

Is it ready yet?

- No Hubba Hubba, but I'm ready.

Ready to give up.

I just can't count

the hoobynuts!

- Shush, there's

no need to worry.

I've been looking on Hoobnet

and I've found a story

that might give you a

clue as to what you need

to help you count your nuts.

(robotic noises)

(banjo plucking)

- Hi!

- [Narrator] It was a busy

day around the old barn.

The Swifts were

collecting straw and twigs

and weaving them together

to build their nests.

In-and-out,

in-and-out they went.

All except for Sara Swift.

Every time she started

weaving in-and-out,

something more

interesting happened.

She might see a little grub

that she wanted to eat.

She might see a dandelion

seed that she wanted to chase.

"Where are you going

to lay your eggs

"if you don't have a

nest?" asked Silvia Swift.

But Sara just sighed,

"Going in-and-out

is too difficult for me."

(wind whistling)

One day the wind blew

and the rain came down.

There was no room for Sara

in anyone else's cozy nest.

So now she really did need

to build one of her own.

"Follow me!", called Silvia.

Sara followed.

"Weave them together tightly,

in-and-out, in-and-out."

"I can't", Sara cried.

"Of course you can, just

concentrate on going in-and-out,

"and in-and-out."

Sara stopped thinking about

little grubs she'd like to eat

and about dandelion

seeds she'd like to chase

and kept saying,

"In-and-out and in-and-out."

And soon she had the

best nest of all!

"What a surprise, Sara has

learned to concentrate!"

(Groove chuckles)

"And here's another

surprise," cried Sara,

"I've learned to lay eggs too!"

(Hoobs gasp)

(eggs rattle)

(jolly piano music)

(robotic noises)

- Oh I get it, I

have to concentrate

if I want to count properly.

- Yeah, easy, and

while you concentrate,

Iver and I can make some music.

(loud crash)

- Hoobacious!

(playing didgeridoo)

- Concentrate, one,

two, three, five.

(Groove drumming loudly)

(Iver playing didgeridoo)

- One, two, three, seven,

nine, twelve, eleventeen.

Evelenteen? Oh!

Have you any idea

why I can't count?

- Sorry, haven't got a clue!

- No idea!

(playing didgeridoo

and drumming)

- One, two, three.

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba

- Shooooosh!

(robotic noises)

- Any luck with

the counting Tula?

- No.

- We're never gonna get

our nut loaf at this rate.

- We're never going to answer

the question for Hoobnews.

- Well I think you need to

visit some more Tiddlypeeps.

They might have

something to help you

concentrate on your counting.

- I think I need a rest.

- I'll go Tula, come on Groove,

get those little

Motorettes singing for me.

- Oh but I want

to bang the drum.

- No Groove!

- Oh.

(loud crash)

- [In Unison] Shush!

- Just a minute Iver.

- Oh, okay.

- What are you doing?

- Oh now I've lost count,

I'll have to start again.

- Oh sorry. Are you

writing a story?

- Oh Iver, we're

doing our homework.

- Really what's it about?

- Iver, shhhhh!

- I was only asking.

- Sorry Iver but we're

trying to concentrate.

- Oh (laughs) that's

a hoobacious drawing

you've done there.

- Shhhh

- The thing is we

can't concentrate if

you keep chatting.

- Oh well, don't mind me

then, I'll just watch.

♪ Dum dee dum, dum

(Iver hums)

- Iver please!

- We can't concentrate

with you humming.

- Oh why not?

- We need complete

quiet to concentrate.

It helps us think.

- Oh wait a minute,

maybe that's the answer.

That's what Tula needs.

I better get back to the

Hoobmobile right away.

Thanks Tiddlypeeps!

you need a bit of shush!

- Yes.

Two hundred and thirty

two hundred and thirty-one.

Yes, hoobynuts!

- [In Unison]

Hoob, Hoob, Hooray!

- Right, Tula get

that hoobygoop in.

I'll stir away

with my didgeridoo!

Well quickly it's nearly

(robotic noises)

- (gasps) Hoobygalooby Hoobs,

what a whopper of a loaf!

(laughs) So are you ready

to give me your news

for my great Hoobepedia?

- [In Unison] We're

ready Hubba Hubba!

- Then take it away.

(rhythmic rock music)

- Hoobledoop Whoop to

all you Hoobs out there!

Welcome to Hoobnews, the news

show for Hoobs everywhere.

I'm (chewing) Iver.

- I'm Tula.

- And I'm Groove.

- And today we've been

asking the question...

- What does Tula need

to make the biggest

hoobynut loaf ever?

- [Iver] First we saw

a dustbin on Hoobnet

and ordered one right away.

It was the perfect

size for a big loaf.

- [Tula] And then we

tried to get the hoobynuts

out of our hoobynut tree but

it was taking far too long.

- [Iver] Until Roma showed

us how to shake the tree

to get the nuts down.

- The noise of the

nuts going into the tin

made me want to make some music.

- [Tula] But we still

didn't have a stirrer.

- So I went off to see some

Tiddlypeeps who showed me

a didgeridoo that would

make a great stirrer.

But it also made a

hoobacious noise.

- [Tula] I just couldn't count

the nuts but then Hubba Hubba

found a story and I realized

that I needed to concentrate.

- [Iver] But Tula couldn't

concentrate so I went

to see some Tiddlypeeps

to get some help.

- [Tula] And Iver found out

that in order to concentrate

we all need to have a bit of...

- [In Unison] Shoosh!

- Abso-hooby-lutely,

well I think I've had

quite enough shush

today and I can't

look at this big tart

for a moment longer.

It's time to wake

Auntie Hattie up.

Hat-tie!

- Will you tell her

I've made the biggest

hoobynut loaf ever?

- I certainly will Tula.

So it's thanks once again to

Iver, Tula, Groove and Roma

for giving Hoobs

everywhere a little peep

in to the world of Peeps.

And remember however

many nuts you've got,

have a nice day and

Hoobletoodledoo!

- [In Unison] Hoobletoodledoo!

- Ah, d'ya know after

all that hoobynut loaf

I'm feeling a bit tired (yawns).

I think I'll have

a little snooze.

- Yes, me too.

- Well, I'm still too excited.

Just think, the biggest

hoobynut loaf ever!

Hoobely-groovely or what?!!

- [Iver And Groove] Shush.
