Ivor, I found something
for our game of hoobyguess.
- (chuckles) Oh,
good, go on then!
- You'll never guess what it is.
- (laughs) Oh, try me.
- Guess what I've
got in my hoobypaw,
I'll give you three guesses,
then I'll give you one more.
- Um, is is a hoobnip?
- Oh, you guessed it right away!
How did you know?
- I could smell it!
(laughs)
- Oh hoobybother (huffs)
- Your turn then,
you find something?
- Oh, yes right, um.
- I've just found
something for our game
and you will never
guess what it is.
- That's what I said but
then Ivor guessed it.
- Well he won't guess this.
- Oh, try me!
- Guess what I've
got in my hoobypaw.
I'll give you three guesses,
then I'll give you one more.
(giggles)
- Um, is it square?
- Hmm, nope.
- Oh.
- Uh, is it round?
- Well, it's roundish.
- Roundish, roundish, roundish!
Could it be, an egg?
- Yes!
- Yes! (laughs)
- But not quite.
- What do you mean not quite?
Either it is an egg or it isn't.
- Well, it's an egg
but it's special.
(strings plucking)
(gasps)
- It's painted!
- (gasps) Why is
Groove's egg painted?
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba!
- It's Hubba-Hubba.
- Why is Groove's egg painted?
That is just the sort of
thing that Hoobs everywhere
will want to know!
Yes, the perfect
question for Hoob News
and the answer can go right
into my Great Hoobapedia.
- (laughs) Do you have any idea
why Groove's egg is
painted Hubba-Hubba?
- Well, none whatsoever.
But I'll email Roma to
see what she can find out
and let's see what there
is on Hoobnet about eggs
to get us started.
(space-like beeping)
(giddy piano music)
Now, here are some eggs Hoobs,
but they're not
painted are they?
- [Groove] No.
- [Toola] Oh.
- [Hubba-Hubba] Well those
eggs came from a chicken
and there are some chickens
on a farm, you see?
And these little chicks
hatch out of the eggs
because the chicken
sits on the eggs
to keep them warm
until they hatch.
(giddy piano music)
And here's one
sitting on an egg now!
Ah, look at how many
different colors
and sizes of eggs there are.
(giddy piano music)
(space-like beeping)
- Wow, those hens
were hoobily groobily!
- Well, we know that
eggs come from chickens.
- And baby chicks
come from eggs.
(clucks like chicken)
- Hey, hey, maybe
my egg is painted
because there's a
painted chick inside?
- Oh.
- Good thinking Groove!
- Hmm, I can't see
inside it and it,
I can't hear anything either.
- That doesn't mean there
isn't a painted chick inside.
We need to find out if there is.
But how?
♪ Hooow how how how ♪
♪ How how how ♪
♪ How how hooow how how ♪
- (gasps) I know how!
The mother hen sat on her
egg before it hatched,
so maybe if you on yours
Groove, it will hatch
and a baby painted
chick will come out!
- Hoobacious idea Toola!
- Yeah, all right then.
Oh no, wait a minute, I might
break the egg if I sit on it,
I'm a bit heavier than a hen.
- Yes, but Hubba-Hubba
said hens sit on their eggs
to keep them warm.
How else are you going
to keep your egg warm?
(breathes onto egg)
(comical trumpet music)
- Yep, uh, that's no good.
Um, oh I know!
(comical trumpet music)
Uh, under my chin?
- Oh (chuckles).
(mumbles)
Careful!
- I know, I'll put
it under my arm.
Very gently.
(gasps)
Here we go.
Ha, it's quite cold!
(laughs)
There we go, come on
warm up little egg.
(clucks like chicken)
- Hooby galooby!
Now, when it gets warm, a
painted chick might hatch out.
Ooh, I can't wait!
- Me neither!
(giggles)
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba,!
- It's Hubba-Hubba.
- Hoobledoop Hoobs!
Have you found out yet why
Groove's egg is painted?
- No, but Groove is
just warming it up,
to see if it will hatch
into a painted chick!
- Well, that's a good start.
Now, a Tiddlypeep just sent
me a fantabby hooby story
about an egg.
Maybe you'd like to listen
to it while you're waiting.
- [Groove] Yeah.
(space-like beeping)
(tranquil flute music)
(cock crows)
- [Young Boy] Once upon a time,
there was a hen called Matilda.
She was trying to lay a
beautiful, big, brown egg
for her friend Percy.
- Come on!
- [Young Boy] It needed to be
just the right size,
- Come one!
- [Young Boy] to fit into
Percy's special egg-race spoon.
- [Hoobs] Oh.
- [Young Boy] So far,
she had laid three.
Percy tried the first
one in his spoon.
"Too small."
(deep saxophone note)
Then he tried the second.
(puzzled piano tune)
"Too big."
(deep saxophone note)
Then he tried the third.
(light chimes)
"Too round!"
"Oh Matilda, none of these
eggs are the right shape
for my egg-race spoon, they'll
all fall off and smash!"
Percy was in despair.
"I'm in despair", he cried.
"I really want to win the
egg-and-spoon race this year.
"Eric Braithwaite
always wins it!
"It must be my turn!
"Please try one more
time for me Matilda."
Matilda concentrated really
hard and out came another egg.
(triumphant sparkling)
Percy put the egg on the spoon.
It was a perfect fit!
He ran off to start the race.
Ready, steady, go!
The race was neck in neck.
Eric Braithwaite was just
about to overtake Percy when,
- [Eric] Noooo!
- [Young Boy] Splat!
The egg fell off
his spoon and broke.
Runny yolk went everywhere.
But Matilda's perfect egg
stayed on Percy's spoon
and he won the race.
Matilda was so thrilled,
she did a lot of clucking.
(hen clucks)
Then laid another
egg to celebrate.
(magical sparkles)
(laughs)
(space-like beeping)
- Oh, clever Matilda!
- Hey, wasn't she though
hey, yeah! (laughs)
- Be careful Groove!
Eggs can break if you drop them.
- Hey, what?
Oh, yeah, yeah you're right.
Ooh, the pressure.
- When the eggs in
the story got broken,
they had a gooey, yellow
bit inside, not a chick.
- So, not all eggs have
chicks inside them?
Even if you keep them warm?
- Well I've been
warming my egg for ages
and nothing's happened,
so my painted egg obviously
doesn't have a chick inside.

(clucks like chicken)
Do you know what?
I quite like being a chicken.
- Yes but we still don't know
why your egg is painted Groove.
- Maybe it's because
your supposed to put it
on a painted spoon and
run a race with it!
- I'll paint a spoon.
- Hey, what?
No, no, no, no, Toola,
Toola, Toola, Toola,
no, Toola, no, no, no,
no, stop right there!
We are not running
a race with my egg.
- But why not Groove?
We need to see if
that's what it's for.
- Maybe, but I don't want
my egg falling off the spoon
and getting smashed like
Eric's did in the story.
- But Groove, we
need to test it!
- Forget it Ivor.
None of the eggs in
the story were painted!
- Eggsactly.
So that's not why
my egg is painted.
- No, but there must
be a reason why it is.
- Yes, but what?
♪ What what whaaat ♪
♪ What ♪
- I have no idea what.
- Me neither.
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba,

I've just had a thought
and it's a very good one
if I do say so myself.
(laughing)
- Yes?
- What is it Hubba-Hubba?
- Perhaps you should go
and visit some Tiddlypeeps.
- Now, that is a hoobacious
idea Hubba-Hubba!
Tiddlypeeps will
know about eggs!
- I'll go!
- I'm going to drive.
Let's get those
Motorettes singing!
- And I'll stay here and
peck (clucks like chicken).

- Hoobledoop Tiddlypeeps!
- [Tiddlypeeps] Hello Toola!
- Do you want to
do a hooby hello?
- [Tiddlypeeps] Yes!
- [All] Hoobledoop, hoobledoop,
whoop, whoop, whoop!
- Oh, what you doing
with those eggs?
- We're spinning them to
see if they're hard-boiled.
- Hard-boiled?
- [Ivor] Strange.
- Yeah.
- What you mean?
- Well you know and
egg can easily break?
- Yes, they're all
yellow and runny inside.
- [Groove] Yeah!
- If they're hard-boiled, it
means the egg has been boiled
for a long time by a grown
up, until it's hard inside.
- So it can't break!
- Hooby galooby!
How can you tell if
an egg's hard-boiled?
Does it look different?
- No, but you can
tell by spinning it.
- Spinning it?
- Yes, if the insides
are still all runny,
then it won't spin.
- Oh.
- But if it spins like this one,
it means it's hard-boiled
and won't break easily
if you drop it.
- Wow!
That spins really well!
Um, what about that one?
- Try it!
(grunts)
Oh.
- Not hard-boiled.
- That one won't spin.
So that means, it must still
be runny inside, right?
- That's right!
- Hooby galooby!
That's a fun way of finding
out if your egg will break.
If you bang a hard-boiled
egg against something.
(egg knocks)
It will cr*ck!
And you can start to peel it.
Then you can see how the
insides have gone all hard!
- Hooby galooby!
Can I take this one home
to show Ivor and Groove?
- Yes.
- Of course you can.
- Oh, thank you so
much Tiddlypeeps.
Hooble toodle doo!
- [Tiddlypeeps]
Hooble toodle doo!
(playful piano music)
- Right, when Toola gets back,
we will spin my painted egg.
- Good idea Groove!
- Wait for me, wait for me!
Don't spin the egg yet!
- Well done Toola,
that spinning trick
is an excellent thing to know.
- Yes, aren't the
Tiddlypeeps hoobely groobely?
- Oh yeah, we will
now spin my egg,
to find out if it's hard-boiled.
(egg scratches)
Hooby galooby, it spins!
- That means it's hard-boiled!
- Which means it's insides
are not all sloppy.
- Uh, but it still doesn't
tell us why my egg is painted.
- Oh, and we've got to find out,
it's almost time for Hoob News!
- [Echoing Voice] Roma,
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma.
- Oh good, it's Roma, maybe
she'll have the answer.
- Hoobledoop Hoobs!
- [All] Hoobledoop Roma!
- Hubba-Hubba's asked me to
find out what I can about eggs.
And I discovered the
most amazing thing!
- [Groove] Oh yeah?
- Peeps like to eat them!
And not only that, but
they like to prepare them
in different ways
before eating them.
- But where are you Roma?
- Well I was just
getting to that Toola.
I've come here to a
restaurant, so I can try out
all the different sorts of egg
meals that Peeps like to eat.
Now, they particularly like
them like this for breakfast.
- [Ivor] Breakfast.
- [Roma] The egg is boiled
and put in an egg-cup
just like this delicious
one I'm eating now.
- Yeah, but it's not painted.
(chews)
- Hmm hoobacious!
(plate scratches)
Other Peeps like
their eggs, scrambled.
- [Groove] That's not painted.
- No Roma.
- Not painted.
- Or fried.
- [Groove And Ivor] Fried.
- Or poached.
Or even made into something
round like a hoobarama,
called an omelet.
- Roma, are any of
those eggs painted?
- Hmm, what was that Groove?
- I said, are any of
those eggs painted?
- Fantabbyhooby.
- Roma!
- Oh no, this one.
- I don't think she's
listening
- Oh, this is Roma Hoob,
feeling rather, eggy
and reporting for Hoob News.
- [Groove] But Roma what about
the painted.
- Can we ask you
about painted egg?
- Oh, I think the scrambled.
No, the hoobarama.
- Roma!
- Oh dear.
- Painted!
- The poached egg.
- [Groove] Roma.
- [All] Hooble toodle doo!
- All right Groove, let's
eat your painted egg.
- It's not all right,
it's all wrong.
My egg is too special to eat.
- But maybe it's painted
because it's specially
hoobylicious to eat.
- I don't want to eat it.
- Don't worry Groove.
I've got an egg from
the Tiddlypeeps,
let's try this instead.
(chews)
Hooble dooble dooper!
- Oh.
(chews)
Oh, Roma was right!
- Ah, give me a taste.
(sniffs)
(chews)
Ah, yes, this is
specially hoobalicious
and it wasn't painted.
- Hmm, you're right.
So why is Groove's egg painted?
[Echoing Voice] Hubba, Hubba,
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.
- How's it going Hoobs?
- We found out a hoobload
of things about eggs.
- Yeah, but not why
mine is painted.
- Have you got any
ideas Hubba-Hubba?
- Well, let me think.
(hums)
Yes, Toola!
I have one idea.
- What's that Hubba-Hubba?
- If Tiddlypeeps know
about spinning eggs,
they may also know
about painting them.
- Of course!
- Yeah, and this time, I'll go
and I'll take my egg with me.
- Eggcellent idea Groove!
(laughing)
- I'll drive.
- Yeah (laughing)

So what are you gonna do
with these painted eggs?
- We're going to hide
them for an egg hunt.
- Oh, so I suppose a Tiddlypeep
must have hidden
this one earlier.
Uh-oh.
Oh, maybe I shouldn't
have taken it.
- Well I'm sure it's okay.
We hide them so other
people can find them.

- Well now Hoobs, are
you ready to give me
your Hoob News
for my Hoobapedia?
- We're ready Hubba-Hubba!
- Then take it away!
- Hoopledoop whoop, to
all you Hoobs out there,
welcome to Hoob News, the news
show for Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Ivor.
- I'm Toola.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking a question.
- Why is Groove's egg painted?
It all started when Groove
showed us a painted egg,
which he'd found for
our game of hoobyguess.
- [Groove] Hubba-Hubba found
us hoobloads of chickens
on Hoobnet and we found out
that hens sit on
eggs to hatch them.
- [Toola] And baby
chicks come out.
- [Groove] So I tried
to keep my egg warm
to see if a painted baby
chick might hatch out.
- [Ivor] While we were
waiting, Hubba-Hubba showed us
a hoobacious story about
an egg-and-spoon race.
- [Groove] When my
egg didn't hatch,
Ivor wanted to
use it for a race.
- [Ivor] But Groove
wouldn't let me
because he didn't
want it to break.
- [Toola] But then we found
out from some Tiddlypeeps,
how you could find out if
an egg was hard-boiled.
- [Groove] So we did
the spinning test
and we found out that
it was hard-boiled!
But that still didn't tell
us why it was painted.
- [Toola] Then Roma told
us that Peeps eat eggs!
- [Groove] We ate the egg
the Tiddlypeeps gave us
but we still didn't know
why my egg was painted.
That's when we went to
find more Tiddlypeeps
and the ones I found,
were painting eggs,
for a special egg hunt.
(playful guitar music)
So, I got the answer and
chocolate eggs to share
with Ivor and Toola.
- So the answer to the question,
why is Groove's egg painted is.
- Because painted eggs are
used for a special egg hunt.
- [All] Hoob hoob hooray!
(clucks like chicken)
(laughs)
- Ooh, I think I've laid an egg!
(laughs)
So it's thanks once again to
Ivor, Toola, groove and Roma
for giving Hoobs everywhere
an excellent peep
into the world of Peeps.
And remember, wherever
you are, have a nice day
and hooble toodle doo!
- [All] Hooble toodle doo!
- Right, close your eyes.
- Why?
It's not hoobypop time?
- No, it's time to
hide my painted egg!
- Oh, hooby galooby
what a great idea!
(gasp)
- He's off!
