Hooble doop Tiddlie Peeps.
I'm Hubba Hubba talking
to you from Hoobland
and I am about to send
four of my favorite Hoobs
down to Earth to
find out all about
you from my great Hoobopedia.
Here they come.
(playful music)
You know who the Hoobs are
Iva, Groove and
Tula, we're Hoobs
and they're ready to go.
Now the wheels are turning
we can all get learning all
the things we want to know.
Yay!
Hubba Hubba's in Hoobland
and Roam is somewhere far away.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
The motorics are singing.
We keep the engine spinning.
Hoob Hoob hooray!
(upbeat playful music)
The Hoob (inaudible)
is coming your way.
Here we come.
Yay!
Aaaah!
The Hoobs are here
so what do you say.
Hoobs!
(seagulls squawking)
- Aaaaah.
Oh yes!
Lovely.
- Oh. This seaside is
just so hooblie grooblie.
- I know all that
hoobacious white sand.
- Yeah and all that hoobie
groovy pure blue sea.
Whoosh.
- Yes, still it's
time to move on now.
We've got things to do.
Tiddlie Peeps to see.
Questions to answer
the Hoob News.
- Ooh, how about
can we stay by the
seaside forever and ever
listening to the
sea going whoosh.
- Groove I do wish you'd
think up sensible questions.
- Sorry.
- We'll just have to find a way
to remember the
seaside, that's all.
- I'm going to draw a picture.
- That's a hoobacious idea Tula.
And while you do
that I'm going to
write down the
questions we might ask.
Sensible questions.
- Yeah yeah yeah.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Right. Here goes.
- Um, where's Groove?
Groove?
- Have you seen my
Hoobie pen anywhere Tula?
- No Iva. Sorry.
- That's funny 'cause
I had it earlier.
- I will start by
drawing the sea.
- The sea? Whoosh.
- It was in here.
I'm sure it was.
Unless I left it ...
- And I will draw a shell
- Oooh a shell. That's
what we can have
to remind us of the seaside.
And I bet a shell would
come in really useful.
- Useful?
- Yeah, I bet we
could use a shell for
Uh ... for um...
- For what?
- What. What. What.
What.
- I don't know what but I'm sure
we'll think of something.
- I can't find it.
- Now then, what sort of shell
would we all find useful?
- Hubba. Hubba.
- Oh it's Hubba.
- What sort of shell
would we all find useful?
Now that is a Hooble dooble
duper question Groove.
- Thanks Hubba Hubba.
I hope it's sensible enough.
- Oh it is Groove!
Or Hubba Hubba wouldn't
have picked it.
- I'll get on to Roma right away
to see whether she can
find any uses for shells.
But in the meantime
why don't you
go and ask the Tiddlie Peeps.
- Yes! The Tiddlie
Peeps are sure to help.
- I'll go. Oh and
I'll drive you there
quicker than you can say
She sells seashells
on the seashore.
(Hoobs laughing)
Come on.
- She sells seashells
on the seash ...
What's Iva's pen doing
in the Hoobofridge?
That's not a very
sensible place for it.
- Seatbelt.
- We're off to see
the Tiddlie Peeps!
(ringing bell)
(rock music)
- We're off to see
the Tiddlie Peeps.
On the road we go.
We're off to see
the Tiddlie Peeps.
They're smart, they're
fun, they know.
The Tiddlie Peeps!
If we need to know
who, what, where,
why, when and how.
We'll ask them. Off we go!
We're off to see
the Tiddlie Peeps.
On the road we go.
We're off to see
the Tiddlie Peeps.
They're smart, they're
fun, they know!
- Hooble doop Tiddlie Peeps.
- It's Tula!
- What are you doing?
- We're sorting out our shells.
- Those are hooblie grooblie.
- We collected
them at the beach.
- We saw shells at the beach,
too, but they were white.
- They start off
white but then you can
paint them any color you like.
- [Groove] I didn't know that.
- They're so pretty.
I like the blue ones best.
They remind me of the sea.
Iva, Groove.
- [Iva] Yes.
- [Groove] Yes.
- Can you see these blue shells?
Aren't they hooblie grooblie!
- Yes. Oh yes they are.
- There's a tiny hole
in each of the shells.
- That's right. My Mum put
the holes in them for us.
- It's so we can do
something special with them.
- Oh. What's that?
- We put them on the string
to make a shell necklace.
You can have this one
if you like, Tula.
- Oh! Thank you.
It's beautiful.
I better get back
to the Hoomobile now,
but thanks again.
Hooble tudle doo.
- Hooble tudle doo.
(cheerful intro music)
- Well, I think seashells
are really hoobie groovy.
- Yes they are. Groovy.
No. It's not in there.
- Whatcha looking for?
- Look at this! Look!
- Oh it's hoobacious Tula.
- Yeah, but is it useful?
- Of course it is, Groove!
Necklaces are very useful.
- There we are then.
We've answered the
question already.
Now I must get on
and look for my ...
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
My sensible question was
what sort of shell would
we all find useful?
That necklace has
more than one shell
and Tula is not all of us.
- Oh yes, but ... Oh yes.
Oh you're right of course.
We need to find one shell
that we can all use.
- Exactly.
- Well, that's fine because
I get to keep the necklace.
- Right. Well there must be
a useful shell somewhere.
- But where?
- Where, where, where, where?
Where?
- Roma
- Maybe Roma knows where.
- Hooble doop Hoobs.
- Hooble doop Roma.
- I've been shell collecting
here on the beach.
Take a look at this one.
- What sort of
shell is that, Roma?
- It's a sea urchin
shell, Groove.
That's what. Round with
a tiny hole on the top.
- I've never seen one
like that before, Roma.
- The really
interesting thing is
when there's a creature
living inside it,
it's all covered with prickles.
But when it gets
washed up on the shore
and the creature has left
the prickles all drop off.
- Hoobie galoobie.
- But you are left with this
very pretty little shell
with a hole in the middle.
I'm definitely going to keep
it to remind me of the sea.
- But is it useful, Roma?
- Oh I'm sure you'd
find a use for it, Iva
because you're so clever.
- Well, thank you.
- But remember this Hoobs,
you must be careful
when you handle one
because sea urchin
shells are very fragile.
- Should they break
really easily then, Roma?
- Oh yes, Groove. In fact
you only have to
drop it like this
(shattering shell)
and it breaks.
I didn't mean to do that.
- Poor Roma.
- Nevermind Groove.
I'll just have to search
the beach for another one.
- Good luck, Roma.
- Oh thank you, Iva.
This is Roma Hoob bringing
you the news as it breaks
and the sea urchin
shell as it's broken.
Hooba doodle doo.
- Hooba doodle doo.
- Roma's right. I'm
sure I could find a use
for that sea urchin.
- But Iva ...
- I'm going out to hunt
for one on the beach.
You never know. It might be
the answer to the question.
- I don't think it is the
answer to the question
do you Groove?
- Nope. I think it's
far too breakable
for three Hoobs to use.
- Maybe we should carry on
looking for shells then.
Just in case Iva's ...
- Wrong! Yes. But how?
- How, how, how, how,
how, how, how, how, how.
- How, how, how, how,
how, how, how, how, how.
- Hubba. Hubba.
- Perhaps Hubba Hubba knows how.
- I just might, Tula.
I found a fantabby
Hoopie story on Hoopnet
all about another kind of shell.
And I've a feeling
in my twizzle tuft
that it may give you an idea.
Take a look.
(happy xylophone music)
- Kevin the clam lived
at the bottom of the sea
next to some seaweed.
All the fish would
swim in and out
of the seaweed saying ...
- Hello Kevin.
How are you today?
- And Kevin would reply ...
- Very well and
thank you for asking.
- But not everyone
was that friendly.
Take Eric the eel for instance.
Eric was always
very bad tempered.
- Go away!
Or I'll gobble you up.
- The fish were too scared to
swim past him on their own.
They swam in schools to
look after one another.
But one day, Amy the
angelfish, got left behind.
Eric started to chase her.
- Help!
- She cried as she swam
as fast as she could.
- [Groove] Oh no!
- Eric wriggled
after her singing ...
- I'm going to get you.
- Quick! Hide inside me.
- Said Kevin the
clam and he opened
the two halves of
his shell wide.
Amy disappeared from sight.
At that moment Eric
swam around the corner
with jaws open wide
ready to swallow Amy.
But instead he slammed
his jaws down on
Kevin's hard shell.
- Oooooww!
- He screeched and he swam off
to an underwater dentist.
Kevin opened himself up and
let Amy swim out safely.
- Thanks for keeping
me safe, Kevin.
- She said.
- No problem
- He replied.
- That's what friends
and clams are for.
- A clam shell. Now how
hoobie groovy is that?
- Very hoobie groovy, Groove.
- And even more hoobie groovy
is the fact that I think
I might just have one in
my collection of things
that come in two pieces.
Ah ha! Here we are. Look!
A teapot that comes
in two pieces.
- Oh yes.
- And what else have we got?
Some Tiddlie Peep pajamas
that come in two pieces.
And, look!
And, look! A clam shell
that comes in two pieces.
A clam shell that
comes in two pieces.
Only I didn't know what
it was until today.
Wouldn't that be useful, eh.
- Well, I'm not sure.
- [Iva] I'm back.
Stand clear. Hoob with very
breakable but not broken yet
sea urchin approaching.
- Hoobie galoobie
Iva. It's beautiful!
- Yes. And just imagine
how useful it would be.
- Useful?
- Oh yes!
- Not as useful as this.
- What's that?
- It's a clam shell.
- Wow. It's very nice Groove
but I'm not sure
it's very useful.
- It is.
- I don't think so.
- It is.
- Well Groove I don't
think you're right.
- I am.
- No you're not.
- Am.
- Not.
- Am.
- I think I'm going to
get on with my picture.
- I don't think that
clam shell's as useful
as my sea urchin.
- Oh, so what's so useful
about the sea urchin then?
- It's the hole of course.
- The hole?
- Yes the hole.
- How can a hole be useful?
- You can put things in it.
- Not as many things as I
can put in my clam shell.
I'm going to use it
to store my collection
of very small things.
- Well I'm going to
use my sea urchin shell
to keep my Hoobie pen
in when I've found it.
- It's in the Hoobofridge.
- You see there's a little
hole in the top and that ...
What did you just say?
In the Hoobofridge?
- Yeah, your Hoobie pen
is in the Hoobofridge.
- Well what's it doing in there?
That's not a very
sensible place for it.
- Well that's what
I said and ...
Ooooh let's have that
little thing there.
(happy music)
- There. Look at this.
Watch that. How
hoobacious is that?
We have the answer
for Hoob News.
A sea urchin shell.
- No. A clam shell full
of very small things.
- No. A sea urchin shell.
- A clam shell.
- Stop having a hoobie squabble.
The question is, if I remember,
what sort of shell would
we all find useful?
- Sorry.
- I'm sorry, Tula.
And I'm sorry, Groove.
- No, I'm sorry, Iva.
- No, I'm sorry, Groove.
- I'm sorry, Iva.
Hubba. Hubba.
- Hubba Hubba are
we glad to see you.
- Thank you, Tula.
I'm always very
glad to see you too.
What a hoobacious little
hoobie pen holder.
- It is isn't it.
- Yes. And what a splendid
shell to put your
very small things in.
- I think so, Hubba Hubba.
- Now, I've had
a look on Hoobnet
and I do believe we may be
getting closer to the answer.
See what you make of this.
Aren't they fantabby
hoobie hoops?
These are called conch shells.
They come in all sorts of
shapes and sizes and colors.
You see these bigger ones
are all pink and white
and the smaller ones
are all sorts of
different colors.
But they're absolutely
fantabby hoobie.
- Now a conch shell really
does look hooblie groobilie.
It would definitely
remind us of the seaside.
- Yeah.
- But would it be
useful for all of us?
- There's only one
way to find out, Iva.
And that's to test one out.
Now the thing about a sea shell
is that it's a creature's home.
So you can only pick
one up on the beach
if no one is living inside.
- Ooooh.
- Oh, but the good
news is I have managed
to track down an empty
conch shell on Hoobnet
and it's on its way.
- Hoop hoop hooray!
- We're gonna get a conch
shell to remind us of the sea.
- Oh, do the seashell
soft shoe shuffle.
- Tula's got a necklace.
- A clam's the shell for me.
- Let's do the seashell
soft shoe shuffle.
- Iva has a sea urchin
right here in the bus.
- We're hoping that a
conch shell will please
the three of us.
- Absolutely, Iva! Two three!
- Let's shuffle.
- Shuffle shuffle.
- And scuffle.
- Scuffle scuffle.
- We'll do the seashell
soft shoe shuffle.
- She sells sea
shells all alone.
Never forget a sea shell
is someone else's home.
- Let's shuffle and scuffle
- We'll do the seashell
soft shoe shuffle.
- So only pick up empty shells
when you're on the beach.
- And do the seashell
soft shoe shuffle.
- 'cause if someone is inside it
then it must stay out of reach.
- We'll do the seashell
soft shoe shuffle.
- I have put an order in
and soon it will appear.
A conch shell that will prove
to be the perfect souvenir.
- Let's shuffle and scuffle.
- We'll do the seashell
soft shoe shuffle.
- We'll do the seashell
soft shoe shuffle. Yeah!
(whistle)
- I'll get it.
- Let's hope this gives
us the answer, Tula.
(up tempo guitar)
- Hoobie groovy or what?!
- It's hoobacious!
Now all you have to do, Hoobs
is find something you
can all use it for.
- Not sure.
- You could always go and
ask the Tiddlie Peeps.
- Great idea Hubba Hubba.
I'll take it with me
and see if the Tiddlie Peeps
can show me how to use it.
- And I'll drive.
- Show me. Show me.
- And I'll finish my picture.
(bell rings)
(rock music)
- We're off to see
the Tiddlie Peeps.
On the road we go.
We're off to see
the Tiddlie Peeps.
They're smart, they're
fun, they know!
The Tiddlie Peeps.
The Tiddlie Peeps.
If we need to know
who, what, where,
why, when and how
we'll ask them. Off we go.
We're off to see
the Tiddlie Peeps.
On the road we go.
We're off to see
the Tiddlie Peeps.
They're smart, they're
fun, they know.
- Hooble doop Tiddlie Peep.
- Hooble doop, Iva.
- What's your name?
- I'm Rachel.
- And what's that
book about, Rachel?
- It's all about
sea shells, Iva.
- [Groove] That's lucky.
- I've got a shell. Look!
- It's a conch shell.
- A conch shell.
- That's a really nice one.
- Yes, it is hoobacious.
We wanted a shell to
remind us of the seaside.
- [Groove] Yeah.
- Do you know what you
can do with a conch shell?
- [Tula] No.
- Not really, no.
- Listen.
(horn sounds)
(Hoobs laughing)
- Hoobie galoobie.
That shell made a noise
when you blew into
it. That's amazing.
But, um ...
- What's the matter, Iva?
- Well, that noise was
hoobacious but it didn't really
remind me of the seaside.
- Well, there's something else
you can do with a conch shell.
- What's that?
- Listen.
- [Tula] Listen?
- [Groove] Listen?
- [Tula] Well, what?
- Wait a minute.
- [Tula] What can you hear?
- [Groove] Well tell us. Iva.
- Hoobie galoobie.
I can hear the sea,
but we're nowhere
near the seaside.
- Yes, but wherever you are
you can listen to
the sound of the sea
when you listen
to a conch shell.
- Oh Rachel!
That is the most
hoobacious way to
remember the seaside ever.
- Tula! Groove!
- Yes Iva.
- Did you hear that?
If you hold a conch
shell up to your ear
you can hear the sea.
- [Groove] That's right.
- I'd better get back
to the Hoobmobile now.
It's nearly time for Hoob News.
Thanks again!
Hooble tudle doo.
- Tadah!
- Tula you are so clever.
- Well I thought we
could look at the picture
and listen to the conch
shell at the same time.
- Yeah, and then
we can imagine that
we're really back
at the seaside.
- I can't wait to
listen to that conch.
- And I can't wait to blow it.
- Here it is.
Come on then. Listen.
(waves crashing)
- Whoosh.
- This is the answer.
We can all listen to
the sound of the sea.
And nothing will remind
us of the seaside
better than the whoosh.
- Can I blow it now, Iva?
- After Hoob news, Groove.
Come on.
Quickly into the Hoobie studio.
(upbeat music)
- In Dublin's fair city
where the girls are so pretty.
I first set my eyes on
sweet Molly Malone
as she wheeled her wheelbarrow
through the streets
broad and narrow crying
- Cockles and muscles
alive, alive, oh.
- Alive, alive, oh.
Alive, alive, oh.
- Crying cockles and muscles
- Alive, alive, oh.
- Now Tula, she's small
Groove's clam holds it all.
And with a sea urchin
the Hoobs are impressed.
- To be sure.
- But the conch shell is bigger
and that's why we figure
for memories of seaside
the conch shell is best.
- A conch shell is best
twice as big as the rest.
- Who needs cockles or muscles
a conch shell is best.
- Hubba. Hubba.
- Well Hoobs. Are you ready
to give me your Hoob news for my
great Hoobopedia?
- We're ready, Hubba Hubba.
- Then take it away.
(drum beat)
- Hoople doop whoop to all
of you Hoobs out there.
Welcome to Hoob News.
The news show for
Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Iva.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question
- What sort of shell
would we all find useful?
- First of all, I went
to see the Tiddlie Peeps.
And they gave me a
beautiful shell necklace.
- But we knew that only
Tula would use that
so it wasn't the answer.
- Then Roma showed
us a sea urchin shell
that makes a hoobacious
hoobie pen holder.
- But only Iva could use
that so it wasn't the answer.
- We learned about clam
shells from the story
and Groove found one in
his clutter cupboard.
- But only Groove could use
that so it wasn't the answer.
- Then Hubba Hubba
found out about
conch shells on Hoobnet.
And they looked
really hoobie groovy.
- I took our conch shell
to the Tiddlie Peeps
and they knew exactly
what to do with it.
Hold it up to your ear and
- You can hear the sea.
Whoosh.
- So now we've got a shell
to remind us of the seaside
and we can all use it.
- So it's thanks once again to
Iva, 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
hooble tudle doo.
- Hooble tudle doo.
