Now, I haven't
seen this for ages.
- Tula, where's Groove?
- He's out collecting.
- Oh.
Well, I hope he
thinks up a question
for Hoob News while he's at it.
- Groove really enjoys his
collecting, doesn't he, Iver?
- Oh, yes he does, yes.
He always comes back
with a smile on his face
and a spring in his step.
- (sighs) Hoobledoob, Iver.
Hoobledoob, Tula.
- [Both] Hoobledoop, Groove!
- Something the matter, Groove?
You don't seem your
usual jolly, cheery,
Hooby-groovy self!
- I'm not.
- Didn't you find anything
while you were out collecting?
- Oh yes, I found
Hoobloads of stuff.
- So, what's the problem?
- (sighs) I was lonely.
- Yeah, I really wanted someone
hopping along beside me,
helping me fetch things,
looking up at me
with their big eyes,
someone to talk to!
Hey, maybe one of you two could
come out with me next time.
- (laughs) Groove,
sounds to me like
you need an animal
to keep you company.
Not a Hoob!
- Who could keep Groove company
while he's out
collecting things?

- Who could keep Groove company
while he's out
collecting things?
That's a really interesting
question, Hoobs!
- Oh, you're telling
me, Hubba Hubba!
Yay!
- And all the things
that you find out
can go straight into
my great Hooberpedia.
- Hubba Hubba, we were thinking
that some kind of animal
might be a good idea.
- That's very good
thinking, Tula!
I'll email Roma to ask
her to find an animal
that Groove might like
to have as a friend.
And, in the meantime, here
are a few to get you started.
(quirky music)
Now, these are elephants.
That's little, that's a frog.
Oh, these apparently are tigers.
That's a crocodile,
not too sure about him.
Oh, there's an elephant seal,
and that's a wallaby, need
a lot of room for him!
Oh, these apparently
are penguins.
Oh, look at these chaps,
they look cheerful!
What a glorious twizzle tuft!
Oh look, there's a stick insect!
(quirky music)
- Well, Groove, you've got
a lot to choose from now!
- Yeah, but I do have to say,
I rather like that
sticky guy at the end.
I'm gonna go on Hoobnet to
print a picture out of him.
- The stick insect?
Does he mean the
stick insect, Tula?
- But he didn't look like he
could hop along beside you,
or fetch things for you,
or look up at you
with his big eyes,
or even talk to you.
- Yes, that's very true, Tula.
But I just kind of liked him.
It reminds me of a favorite
pencil I once had. (chuckles)
(printer whirring)
Oh, here he comes. (chuckles)
Ah, great!
I can keep him in
my collecting bag!
- (gasps) Oh no, Groove!
He might get squished!
He looks like he'd get
squished really easily to me.
- Oh.
- I really think
we should try out
some other animals, Groove.
- Oh yes, but how?
♪ How, how, how, how, how, how ♪
♪ How, how how how how ♪

- I know how!
Iver and I could pretend
to be different animals.
I could make little

so we can look like them.

- Oh, it's Hubba Hubba again!

- I've heard that
no one likes animals
more than Tiddlypeeps!

Groove some great advice
about who would keep him company
while he's out
collecting things!
- Good idea, Hubba Hubba!
- Come on, Groove!
I'll drive you to
the Tiddlypeeps.
- Yeah, Iver, would you look
after my stick insect picture?
- Of course I will.

- Now, is it true that you
Tiddlypeeps really love animals?
- Oh, yes, we keep them as pets!
- You do?
What sort of pets do you have?
- There's dogs, cats,
budgies, goldfish.
- There's hamsters, gerbils,
guinea pigs, and rabbits!
- You, what a lot,
I hope you've got
all of those, Tula!
- Yes!
- So, if I was to have a pet,
what kind of pet do you

- I've got something

- Hey, Tula, Iver!
- Yeah?
- Can you see this guy?
- Yeah, yeah.
- He's Hooby groovy!
What's he called?
- Hoppy!
- Hoppy! (laughs)
- Why's he called that?
- 'Cause that's what
rabbits do, Groove.
Hop!
(Groove laughs)
- Hello, Hoppy!
Oh, look, he's so fluffy.
(Iver chuckles)
Look at his little twitchy nose!
I think he really likes me.
I'd love to stay and
watch him all day,
but, I've gotta get back
to the Hoobmobile now.
So, thanks so much, Tiddlypeeps!
Hoobletoodledoo!
- [Kids] Hoobletoodledoo!
(upbeat music)
- (sighs) Right, Iver.
You hide behind there,
and I'll hide over there,
and when Groove comes in,
we'll both pretend
to be rabbits.
(both giggle)
- I can't wait!
(both laughing)
(Tula giggles)
- That's it!
I've found something that
will hop alongside me!
A Hoob's best friend
is his rabbit.

- Hoppity, hop!
Hoppity, hoppity, hop.
- Tula! (laughs)
- Hoppity, hoppity,
hoppity, hop.
Iver!
Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity, hop.
Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity.
- Oh, look!
- All right, but
wait a minute, wait!
- You know, if a rabbit came
out collecting with you,
this is what he'd do!
- Yes.
- Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity.
- That's very funny.
It's very nice, but stop it now.
All right, yeah.
- Come on, stop it, stop it now.
I said stop it!
- Oh.
- (sighs) Thank you.
- What is it, Groove?
You wanted something to
hop along beside you.
What's wrong with
the rabbit idea?
- Tula, when I'm out collecting,
I need to concentrate.
And you can't concentrate when
all that hopping's going on!

- So is the rabbit the
right friend for Groove?
- [Hoobs] No, too hoppy.
- Oh!
I say, Iver,
nice teeth!
(Iver and Tula laugh)
- Now, I've just found
a story on Hoobnet
which might give Groove
another idea for a friend.
Take a look at this.
(quirky music)
- [Boy] There was once a
little boy called Percy,
who loved the sound
of his own voice.
- [Mother] There you go, dear.
- [Percy] As he walked
up and down the street
Oh yeah!
When people heard ding,
- [Boy] One day, Percy's mum
bought him the perfect pet,
a parrot.
(parrot chirps)
But Percy didn't understand.
I don't really like feathers.
(Percy sneezes)
And I'm not that keen on beaks.
(parrot chirps)
And watching things fly
makes me feel funny.
The only thing I like is
the sound of my own voice.
- It'll be easy!
I've got a good voice!
- [Boy] So why is a parrot
the perfect pet for me?
(parrot chirps)
"Well, why don't you
ask it?" Said his mum.
And so, Percy did.
"Why are you the
perfect pet for me?"
Asked Percy.
"Why are you the
perfect pet for me?"
Repeated the parrot.
- "You just said what
I said!" Said Percy.
"You just said what I
said." Said the parrot.
"Are you gonna say everything
I say?" Asked Percy.
"Are you going to say everything
I say?" Said the parrot.
And then, Percy smiled.
Suddenly, he knew why the parrot
was the most
perfect pet for him.
Because it would always
say exactly what he said.
"Now I've got you, I can hear
the sound of my own voice,
"all day long!" Said Percy.
"Now I've got you,
"I can hear the sound of my
own voice, all day long!"
"I love you!" Said Percy.
"I love you!" Said the parrot.

- Wow, how Hooby groovy
is that? (chuckles)
A Hoob's best friend has
got to be his parrot.
- A Hoob's best friend

you just say what I did?
- Why did you just
say what I did?
- Oh, I see, you're
being the parrot!
- (laughs) Can you
stop being the parrot?
- (laughs) Could you
stop being the parrot?
- (laughs) Can you
stop being the parrot?

going to say anything.

I bet she's found a friendly
pet for you, Groove!
(quirky music)
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
- [All] Hoobledoop, Roma!
- Hubba Hubba told me you were
looking for a pet, Groove!
Well, I've come here to
a place called a stable.
And today I'm going to be
meeting a rather special animal.
He's called Chunky.
And he is, in fact, a pony!
- What's he like, Roma?
- Well, like all ponies,
he has four legs,
one in each corner.
A Hoobacious swishy
tail, and big soft eyes.
- And get this, Hoobs!
The best thing about ponies
is that you can sit on
top of them and ride them!
Lots of Peeps and Tiddlypeeps
keep ponies as pets!
- Hoobygroovy!
- I see.
- But let me tell you, Hoobs.
If you have a pony for a pet,
you'll have plenty to do!
- Like what, Roma?
- Well, ponies need Hoobloads
of oats and hay to eat.
- [Iver] Oh!
- And you can't just put
them in the garden, Hoobs.
Oh no!
You have to get one of these
stables to keep them in.
A stable is a big, wooden
building, with straw
(pony neighs)
all over the floor.
This straw has something
to do with what Peeps call
mucking out.
They were mucking
out here earlier,
and it was pretty
whiffy, I can tell you.
(Hoobs giggle)
- I'm going to have
a ride on Chunky now,
and I can't wait!
Just think of me
galloping along.
Clippity clop, clippity clop!
And over a fence we'll go, way!
Clippity clop, clippity
clop, clippity clop.
(horse steps clicking)
Ah, here comes Chunky now!
(horse neighs)
- Whoa.
- Hooby galooby!
How ever am I going
to mount that?
(Groove laughs)
This is Roma Hoob,
about to ride an enormous pony!
Hoobletoodledoo!
- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
- I say, has anybody
got a ladder?
(Hoobs laugh)
(quirky music)
- Well, Groove,
what do you think?
Is a Hoob's best friend a pony?
- Well, I did like
his big soft eyes,
but I don't much like
the idea of you know,
having to climb
up on top of him.
- In any case, Tula, where
would we keep a pony? (chuckles)
We'd have to get him
a great big Hooby pod
to sleep in!
(Tula laughs)
- Yeah, and I'm not sure
about all that mucking out,
are you?
(Iver and Tula laugh)
- The Hoobmobile would
be really whiffy!
- Yeah. (laughs)
- Nope, the pony's not for me.
I still like the idea of
that stick insect, though!
♪ Hubba hubba hubba hubba ♪
- I don't want to
hurry you, Hoobs,
but how are we doing?
- Groove has just decided
against the pony, Hubba Hubba.
- Yeah, nothing beats
the stick insect so far.
- Ah yes, Groove.
But you wouldn't want to
squish him, would you?
- No, no.
- Well, let me see.
We've tried something
that hops along,
we've tried
something that talks,
and we've tried something

- And I'd like it to
be able to scamper.

and his pointy ears.

But, can he fetch?
- Why don't you try
throwing something?

Has anyone got
anything I can throw?

- Oh, Groove, why not?
You wanted a pet that
would fetch things,
what more could you ask for?
- If I had a dog, and it

throwing them back
so he could fetch them again!

Are you ready to give me your

- We're ready, Hubba Hubba!
(upbeat music)
Hoobledoopwoop to all
you Hoobs out there!
Welcome to Hoob News, the news
show for Hoobs everywhere!
I'm a rabbit.
- (barks) I'm a dog!
- (sighs) And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking a question.
- Who could keep Groove company
while he's out
collecting things?
We decided that what he
needed was an animal.
So Hubba Hubba found us
some animals on Hoobnet.
- [Groove] The one I liked
best was the stick insect.
But we decided that
he would get squished
in my collecting bag.
- [Tula] So Groove went
to visit the Tiddlypeeps,
and they showed him a rabbit.
- [Groove] But I decided
a rabbit was too hoppy.
- [Iver] Then we had a story
about Percy and his parrot!
- [Groove] But I decided
that parrots were too talky.
- [Tula] Then Roma
told us about ponies.
- [Groove] I liked
their big soft eyes,
but I didn't want to have to
climb up onto one of them.
- [Tula] Then we
thought that a dog
would be perfect
for fetching things.
- [Groove] But I realized
that I'd have to keep
throwing things
for him to fetch!
- [Tula] Suddenly, Groove found
the companion of his dreams,
and we found the
answer to the question:
- [Iver] Who could
keep Groove company
while he's out
collecting things?
- Sticky, the stick!
- (laughs) Marvelous!
Hoob-hoob-hooray!
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 nice day and
Hoobletoodledoo!
