- Oh, I'm sorry, Tula.
I can't think about what

I've got to think of a good

- What about, what
should Tula draw?
- Well, that is a question, yes.
I'm not sure Hubba Hubba
would think that was an--
(Tula laughing)
Oh, good question.
- Only kidding, Iver.
- Right, yes (laughs).
Do you know, I can't

Only one thing for
it, a hooby think.

with one of those too.
I might get an idea

(Groove humming)
- Groove's having
a hooby think too.
- Yes, a particularly loud one.
I hope he'll come up with
a fantabby hooby question
for Hoob News.
Whatever could he
be thinking about?
- Whatever it is, I'm sure
it's okay to disturb him.
As long as we do it carefully.
- Oh, carefully.
- Carefully.
(Groove humming)
- [Tula] Groove?

- Is there anyone

- Groove?
- (shouting) Groove!
- (gasping) Where am I?
- You're in the hoobmobile.
- Oh yeah, what was I doing?
- You were having a
great big hooby think.
- Oh, of course I was.
Yes, yes, I was.
I felt it coming on while I
was talking a walk outside
looking for stuff to
put in my collections.
- What was it about?
- Oh, what was it about?
Oh, yeah, it went like this.
What would happen if we
didn't have the hoobmobile
and we needed to get to
the Tiddlypeeps fast?
I mean, how would we get there?
I mean, how?

- We'd run!
- Yes, running would be good.
- Run, me, Groove, run (laughs)?
- Yes, you, Groove, run.
- No, I don't think so.
- What's wrong with running?
- Well, there's the arm thing.
- What arm thing?
(whimsical music)
- And the leg thing.
- What leg thing.
- Oh.
(upbeat music)
(Groove panting)
And the puffy, puffy thing.
- Puffy, puffy thing?
- Yeah, I hate the puffy,
puffy thing (panting).
(whimsical music)
- Groove, running's great.
Hoobs do it all the time.
- Well, not this Hoob.
Running and me just
do not go together.
We're like hooby chalk
and hooby cheese.
- Look, look, look,
look, lets not argue.
We've still got to think
of a question we can answer
on today's Hoob News.
- And I've got to think
of something to draw.
Hey, I could draw
Groove running,
so you could see how great
you'd look if you ever did it.
- Well, you might
as well draw it
'cause you're
never gonna see it.
- Oh, Iver, how am I
going to persuade Groove
that running is a
hooby groovy idea
when you want to
get somewhere fast?
- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,
Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
(computer whizzing)
- How could we persuade Groove
that running is a
hooby groovy idea
when you want to
get somewhere fast?
That's a very good question,
just the sort of thing
that Hoobs everywhere
will want to know.
- Yay, we did it again!
- Oh, yes, it's the perfect
thing for my hoobapedia.
So we better start.
Time is already running out.
- Oh, very funny, Hubba Hubba.
- (laughing) Now,
here are a few things
that might help you on your way.
(computer whizzing)
Now, that's not running.
Oh, there's a peep
with a big pink thing,
but they're not running.
Ope, and ope, well, he
can't decide where to go.
Well, that's not running.
Nope.
No, that's not running,
nice frock though.
Definitely not running.
No, no, no, no running
there or there.
And that's not running, either.
That's not running.
Oh, a squiddily
Tiddlypeep, not running.
And that's definitely
not running,
but they are.
Look, the ants, they're
running, running, running.
(computer whizzing)
- Some of those things
were going really slowly.
- That's my kind of speed.
(Iver laughs)
- But how about those ants?
They were going so fast
and they really looked like
they were enjoying themselves.
- They were running because
they were scared, Tula.
They were running
from something scary.
"Oh, help me, I'm a
little scared ant."
Running is a scary thing.
- No, it isn't.
Running is a hooby groovy thing.
- Thinking about those
ants with six legs
has given me an idea.
An idea that will
persuade you to run.
- Oh yeah, what?
♪ What, what, what ♪
♪ What ♪
- Ha, ha, ha, ha,
the hooby leggy belt.
Made by me, for you.
There you go.
Extra legs, just
like those ants.
- (chuckles) It's
very dangly, isn't it?
And very, you know, leggy.
- Yes, well, it's
all the extra legs
you'll need to run really fast.
- Go on, give it a try, Groove.
You'll love it, I know you will.
- Well, if you think so.
Off I go.
(cheerful music)
Not bad, I could get used
to this actually, if I,
whoa!
(Groove crashing)
(Iver grunting)
Thank you.
That wasn't really
running, was it?
That was more falling over.
- [Tula] Yes, you're right.
- No, I don't think I
want to try that again.
- (sighs) Somehow I don't
think the hooby leggy belt
is going to persuade
Groove that running
is a hooby groovy idea if you
want to get somewhere fast.
- Neither do I.
Sorry, Groove.
- [Computer] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- I've just had a thought.
If you want to persuade Groove
that running is a
hooby groovy idea,
especially if you need to
get to the Tiddlypeeps fast,
then maybe the Tiddlypeeps
are the best peeps to ask!
- You're absolutely
right, Hubba Hubba.
- And you'd better be the
one to talk to them, Groove.
- Okay, I'll drive.

(laughs) Oh, will you
excuse me a moment?
(upbeat music)
- [Tula] Oh, look.
- Wow, this fast machine is
hooble dooble duper (laughs).
Does it go without Motorettes?
- Yes.
- Really?
'Cause everything in
Hoobland that goes
has Motorettes making it work
by singing and playing tunes.
What is this?
- It's a car.
They're really fast and
you can toot their horns.
They go beep, beep, beep!
(car horns honking)
(Groove laughs)
- What's yours called?
- It's a scooter.
It goes vroom, vroom, vroom.
- Oh, hooby groovy eh, Iver?
(Iver laughs)
Listen, what?
There's another one.
What's yours called?
- It's a police motorcycle.
It's very fast, it
goes nee-naw, nee-naw.
- (laughs) Nee-naw, nee-naw.
(upbeat music)
(laughs) So all these
hooble dooble duper machines
go really fast.
Iver, Tula, I think
I've got the answer.
If I need to go
somewhere really fast,
I wouldn't have to run.
I'd just need to
get one of these.
Thank you so much, Tiddlypeeps.
I've got to go now,
so hooble toodle doo!
- [Children] Hooble toodle doo.
- (laughs) Could
you give me a lift?
(cheerful music)
- Hmm, I don't think the
Tiddlypeeps persuaded Groove
that running is a good idea.
(Groove imitates car revving)
(imitates brakes squealing)
No, but they did persuade me
that zoomy machines
are a good idea.
(Groove imitates car revving)
- Groove, you do not have
one of those zoomy machines.
If you needed to get to
the Tiddlypeeps fast,
you would have to run.
- Ah, but they were
so hooby groovy.
- Groove, you wouldn't
just run around a bit
so I could finish
off drawing you?
- Okay, ah, wait a minute.
You're not gonna catch
me out like that.
- (sighs) Worth a try.
- Maybe if I made the
hooby zoomy noises
then I could go fast without
doing the running thing.
- What do you mean?
- Listen.

- We're working on
it, Hubba Hubba,
but persuading Groove that
running is a hooby groovy idea
(chuckles) isn't easy.
- Well, I might be
able to help you there.
Take a look at
this little story.
(computer whizzing)
- [Narrator] There
were once three rabbits
called Rollie Pollie, Hippy
Hoppy, and Runny Bunny.
Rollie Pollie liked
to roll everywhere.
(wheel clicking)
Hippy Hoppy like
to hop everywhere.
(spring boinging)
And Runny Bunny liked
to run everywhere.
(footsteps thudding)
One day, they were
out in the field,
rolling and hopping and running,
when they heard the
farm tractor roll by.
(tractor chugging)
On it were all
kinds of vegetables,
picked fresh from the
fields that morning.
Suddenly, there was a thump.
(carrot thumps)
"What was that,"
said Runny Bunny.
"It's a big, fat, juicy
carrot," said Hippy Hoppy.
"It's fallen off the tractor,
"and landed right in
the middle of the path,"
said Rollie Pollie.
And it had.
(eyes pinging)
The rabbits looked a each other.
"Let's have a race,"
cried Runny Bunny,
and they were off.
Rollie Pollie started rolling,
but the problem with rolling is
you can't really see
where you're going,
so poor Rollie Pollie just
rolled around in circles.
Hippy Hoppy started hopping,
but the problem with hopping is
that the leg you're hopping
on quickly gets tired
and you soon find that you
just can't hop anymore.
Runny Bunny started running
and in no time at all,
he had reached the
big, fat, juicy carrot.
(carrot crunching)
By the time Hippy Hoppy and
Rollie Pollie got there,
all that was left was the tip.
(Runny Bunny hiccups)
(eyes pinging)
"What took you so long,"
asked Runny Bunny.
So from then on,
Rollie Pollie and Hippy
Hoppy decided that,
fun though rolling
and hopping were,
if they wanted to get to the
big, fat, juicy carrot fast,
then running was the answer.
(cheerful music)
(footsteps thudding)
(computer whizzing)
- You see, Groove, in the
end all the rabbits ran
because that is the best
way to get somewhere fast.
- But that rolling and
hopping looked like good fun.
- But it wasn't as
fast as running.
- Yeah, well, I'm not
a rabbit, I'm a Hoob,
but you know what?
- Hmm?
- I reckon I could go pretty
fast on my hoppy hooby leg.
- Oh, off you go then.
- Yeah, all right.
(laughs) Hey, there you see?
I could get to the
Tiddlypeeps in no time.
Hey, Tiddlypeeps, here I come.
Oh, that's tiring.
- Not as easy as it looks, eh?
- I was probably
using the wrong leg.
Maybe I should
try the other one,
it might be hoppier.
- They are both
the same, Groove.
(Groove panting)
- No, that's no good.
Oh, do you know what?
I'm gonna try rolling.
- [Tula] Oh, no, no, no.
(Groove grumbling)
Groove, look out!
- Mind the table.
(bookshelf crashes)
- Oh!
- (grunting) Oh, okay, so
maybe rolling isn't the thing.
I know, what happens if I
combine rolling and hopping?
(Groove grunts)
- No, let's not!
Wouldn't this be so much easier
if you just tried to run?
- (grunting) Aw, do I have to?
- I don't see how we're ever
going to persuade Groove
on this one, Iver.
- I do.
Let's ask Roma.
If anyone can persuade Groove,
(laughs) she can.
(button boings)
- [Computer] Roma, Roma, Roma.
(computer whizzing)
- (panting) Hoobledoop, Hoobs.
Oh, today I'm reporting
from a marathon race.
Everyone is trying to get
somewhere as fast as they can.
- But why, Roma?
- Well, for one thing,
it's a race to see
who gets there first.
- Oh, that's too
puffy, puffy for me.
- But also because (panting),
but also because it helps
to keep you (panting),
it helps to keep
you fit (sighs).
- [Iver And Tula] Oh.
- Hmm, so those
peeps were running
'cause they wanted
to get somewhere fast
and because running
keeps you fit.
- Oh!
You want to keep fit,
don't you, Groove?
- Yes, of course I do,
but they were all doing
the puffy, puffy thing,
and the leg thing
and the arm thing.
- But they were enjoying
all those things.
There's no getting
away from it, Groove.
Running is the best way of
getting to the Tiddlypeeps fast.
It's useful and
it keeps you fit.
- But it doesn't look any fun.
- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,
Hubba Hubba.
- Maybe Hubba Hubba
has another idea.
- Maybe he does.
Now, if it's fun
you're after, Groove,
then I know some experts.
- You do?
- Yes, Tiddlypeeps.
They have more fun than anyone.
What about one more visit?
- Okay, I hope they have more
of those hooby zoomy machines.
- Come on then, I'll drive.
- No, I'll drive.
- You won't.
- I will.
- No, no!
- I will.

- Please?

Oh, thank you, Tiddlypeeps,
but now, I've got to run.
Hooble toodle doo!
- [Girls] Hooble toodle doo!

- Where's Groove?
It's almost time for Hoob News.
Tula, you're ready, aren't you?
- Nearly, da-da!
- [Iver] What?
- Look, I copied it from
the real Groove running.
(Groove panting)
- Ah, that's a relief.
- Can't you feel the
wind in my hooby fur?
You know, you know,
running is fun.
It is fun.
It's keeping me fit
and more than that,
I'm getting everywhere faster.
(panting) And I'll
always be able to get
to Tiddlypeeps fast if
something should happen
to the hoobmobile.
- Yes, yes, yes, well, you're
going to have to run now,
Groove, it's time for Hoob News.
- Oh, time for just one
more quick run then.
- Come on, places, you've only
got a few seconds, you know.

- Not anymore you're not.
- Hoobledoop whoo to
all you Hoobs out there.
Welcome to Hoob News, the news
show for Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm out of breath.
- And today on Hoob News
we're going to be
asking the question--
- How can we persuade
Groove that running
is a hooby groovy way of
getting somewhere fast?
Groove did not want to run,
so first we made him some
extra legs like an ant
to see if they would
help persuade him.
They didn't.
- [Iver] So we asked
the Tiddlypeeps.
Groove thought that one
of their machines could
help him get somewhere fast
so he wouldn't have to run.
But Groove doesn't
have a fast machine.
- [Groove] Then I sang
a song about noises
that make you think
you're going fast,
but I didn't get anywhere.
- [Iver] Then we had a
story about a rabbit who ran
and we saw that running
is really useful,
but still Groove
wasn't convinced.
- [Groove] I
thought that rolling
and hopping might be
better, but they weren't.
- [Tula] Then Roma told us
how running keeps you fit,
but still Groove
didn't want to do it
because he said it
makes you tired.
- Then the Tiddlypeeps played
a game of chase with Groove,
and hey, he found out
that running is fun.
- Yeah, take it from me Hoobs,
if your hoobmobile breaks down
and you have to get
somewhere fast, run.
It's the only way.
- And so it's thanks once again
to Iver, Tula, Groove, and Roma
for giving us all a little
peep into the world of peeps.
And remember, wherever you are,
have a lovely day and
