- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps.

I'm Hubba Hubba, talking

to you from Hoobland,

and I'm about to send

four of my favorite Hoobs

down to Earth to find

out all about you

for my Great Hoobapedia.

Here they come!

(upbeat piano music)

(birds tweeting)

- Hoobygalooby, Groove.

These are the biggest hoobanuts

we've ever grown.

- Yeah, but the trouble is,

Iver, I can't get to this side

of the hoobala tree because

this froogle fruit vine's

grown all over it.

(grunting)

(spring boings)

- Mind my nuts.

(grumbles)

- Iver, Groove!

- Hoobledoop Tula (grunts).

- Groove,

whatcha doing tangled up

in the froogle fruit vine?

- Oh, I had a bit of

an accident with this.

- Today is not the day to

have a bit of an accident

with the froogle fruit vine.

- [Both] Why?

♪ Why, why, why? ♪

♪ Why? ♪

- I'll tell you why,

because today is the

Froogle Fruit Festival

back home in Hoobland.

- Yay!

(string twangs)

- (laughs) Hoobygalooby.

How did you know, Tula?

- I got this email from

Auntie Hattie Hoob,

wishing us a Happy

Froogle Fruit Day.

- Ah, good old Auntie

Hattie Hoob, ey.

She always loves the

Froogle Fruit Festival.

(string twangs)

- Groove!

Don't eat all the froogle

fruit or we won't have any left

for our froogle fruit rings.

- Froogle fruit

rings, of course.

We can't have a Froogle

Fruit Festival Day

without froogle fruit rings.

(gasps) We must make some.

Now.

- Oh, oh, Auntie Hattie's

says that she's made

extra specially big froogle

fruit ring this year,

and she can't wait to do

the froogle fruit ring dance

with Hubba Hubba tonight.

(laughter)

(chomping)

- Oh, Iver.

Excuse me, I'm just (grunts).

(thudding)

- Oh, I love the froogle

fruit ring dance.

This is so exciting!

- (grunts) Yeah, but.

- I love it too, Tula.

- Yes, but.

- But what, Groove?

- We didn't bring our

rings from Hoobland.

(gasps)

- [Both] We didn't bring

our rings from Hoobland!

- (grunts) No, we didn't.

Argh, we have nothing to twine

our froogle fruit vine around.

Well, except me,

of course (laughs).

- That's not funny, Groove.

It's terrible.

- Bet the Peeps have some rings.

- You're right, Groove.

Peeps are bound to have

rings, but do Peeps have rings

that can be used as

froogle fruit rings?

- Hubba Hubba (echos).

Do Peeps have rings that can

be used as froogle fruit rings?

What a hooble dooble

dooper question, Hoobs.

- I see you're ready with

your ring, Hubba Hubba.

- Oh yes, Iver, I'm going

to twine my vine around it

and then I'm going to loop

it over Auntie Hattie Hoob

in the froogle fruit dance.

(laughter)

- Could you email

Roma, Hubba Hubba,

and ask her to find out

about Peep rings for us?

- Of course, Tula, but

first let me key in rings

on HoobNet and see if we

can find anything at all.

Ah, here we are.

(computer whirring)

(brisk rock music)

Ah, we appear to be inside

a jewelry store, Hoobs.

This is where Peeps

come to get the jewelry

that they love to wear.

You see lots of watches,

broaches,

necklaces.

Ah, and these are

the rings, Hoobs.

The rings that Peeps wear.

They're jolly

sparkly, aren't they?

(computer whirring)

- Hoobygalooby.

Those little rings

were very pretty.

- Very pretty, but very small.

- Yeah, you couldn't twine

your vine around them, Tula,

could you?

- (moans softly) But I'd

still love to have one.

Haven't you got any in one

of your collections, Groove?

- Well, I might have.

- Would you look for me, please?

- Oh, all right, Tula.

I'll take a look in

my clutter cupboard.

(smooth guitar music)

- Um, Tula?

We do need to answer

the question for

Hoob News, you know.

- I know, Iver, and we need

a froogle fruit ring too.

(dreamy music)

But I would so love

to have one of those Peep rings.

It would make me feel like

a Peep Princess (sighs).

- (laughs) Tula, Tula, Tula.

You are in luck.

I found this in my collection

of small shiny things

with a hole in the middle

and a knobbly bit on top.

- Oh, Groove!

You are a hoobly groobly Hoob.

Let me give you a hoobledigger.

- All right then.

- (groans deeply) Do

hurry up, you two.

- [Both] Hooble, hooble, digga

digga digga digga (laughs).

(crescendo guitar music)

(grunts)

- Oh, hooby bother, it

doesn't fit on a Hoob.

It's too small.

- And it's too small to make

a froogle fruit ring, too, Tula.

(groans)

- Tell you what, Tula.

Why don't you wear

it somewhere else?

- But where?

♪ Where? ♪

♪ Where, where, where? ♪

♪ Where? ♪

♪ Where, where, where? ♪

♪ Where? ♪

♪ Where, where, where? ♪

♪ Where, where, where, where? ♪

- I know where.

Round your neck on

a piece of string.

- Groove, I've said it

before and I'll say it again,

you are a hoobly groobly Hoob.

(blows air)

(laughs)

- [Both] Hooble hooble,

- Not again.

- Digga digga digga

digga digga (laughs).

- All right, all right.

Let's move on, shall we?

Let's try to get back to

answering the question

for Hoob News.

- Right, Iver, of course.

Um, hmm, where were we?

- Roma (echos)

- Huh, here comes Roma.

You never know,

she might have found us

just the ring we're after.

- Hoopla.

Oh no.

- Roma?

- Oh, hooby bother.

Let's try another one.

(Roma grunts)

- Roma?

Hoobledoop!

- Oh, hoobledoop, Hoobs.

Hubba Hubba told me that

you were looking for rings

for Froogle Fruit Day.

As it happens, I remembered

to bring mine from Hoobland.

Look.

(gasps)

I've got the ring, but no vine

to twine around it.

- [Groove] Oh (laughs).

- Well, we've got

the vine but no ring.

- Yeah.

- Well, maybe I

can help you there.

I've found these, you see?

I've asked Hubba Hubba to

order some from HoobNet,

and send them to you.

- What are you doing

with them, Roma?

- Well, I'm chucking them, Tula.

You see, I'm at a fairground.

This is a place where

Peeps and Tiddlypeeps come

to have hoobloads of fun,

playing games and

taking rides on things.

(laughter)

And I'm playing a fantabby

hooby fairground game

that you play with rings.

(murmers)

(laughs)

This is called a

Hoopla store, you see.

And the game is called Hoopla,

which is why I keep shouting,

"Hoopla!"

(laughter)

- [Tula] Hoopla.

- What exactly are you

trying to do, Roma?

- Well, Groove, as you can see,

there are all these

animals behind me,

and what you have

to do is to try

and loop one of those prizes

with one of the rings.

- Hoobacious, Roma!

And what prize are

you trying to win?

- Well, I've rather set

my heart on that fantabby

hooby little china cat.

(laughter)

But I'm not having

much luck yet.

(gasps) I've just had

the most hoobacious idea.

- [Hoobs] (gasps).

(murmuring)

- Hoopla!

(laughter)

I've won, I've won the lot!

Ha (deep sigh).

Only joking.

That was a bit of a cheat.

- [Groove] Yeah.

- I've better carry

on with these.

You know what they say,

if at first you don't succeed,

try try again.

[Everyone] Hooble toodle doo.

(laughter)

- Roma.

- Oh, well the hoopla

rings aren't as big

as big as froogle fruit rings.

- No, but they're

bigger than the ring

around your neck, Tula.

And they're big enough

to twine a vine around.

- You're right, Groove.

I suppose we might have

to make do with them.

(spring boings)

- A-ha!

I do believe they've

just arrived (laughs).

- Oh come on, Groove, let me

unravel some of this vine.

- Oh, wait (laughs).

- We'll need to twine it

around the hoopla rings.

- Here they are.

Right, let's get--

(spring boings)

twining.

(laughter)

- Yes, but how?

♪ How? ♪

♪ How, how? ♪

♪ How, oh how, oh how? ♪

♪ How, how, how, oh how? ♪

♪ Oh how? ♪

- Here's how.

There you go.

- Oh, well they're quite

hooby groovy, aren't they?

- Well, they're

something I suppose,

but I don't think I could

loop you with one of these

in the froogle fruit dance.

I mean look.

(smooth guitar music)

- (sighs) Nevermind.

- Hubba Hubba (echos)

- Oh,

maybe Hubba Hubba

has another idea.

(computer whirring)

- Hoobledoop, Hoobs (chuckles).

Oh Groove, you're

wearing a crown.

- Yes, hooby groovy, isn't it?

- It certainly is,

but I can see that it's

not quite big enough

for the froogle fruit dance.

- [Everyone] No.

- Nevermind, I've been thinking.

Perhaps, you should pay a

visit to some Tiddlypeeps.

They might be able to help

you with a froogle fruit ring.

Yes, I could use a bit of help

with mine, I can tell you.

(laughter)

- You're right, Hubba Hubba.

The Tiddlypeeps are

sure to have an idea.

Come on, Tula, you

can drive me there.

- [Tula] Seatbelt.

- [Iver] Seatbelt (giggles).

- We're off to see

the Tiddlypeeps.

- (giggles).

(cork pops)

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps.

- Oh, it's Iver!

- Want to do a hooby hello?

- [Tiddlypeeps] Yeah!

- [Everyone]

Hoobledoop, hoobledoop.

Whoop whoop whoop.

- What are you two doing?

- We're being magicians.

- Oh, that sounds hoobacious.

- It is, we're learning to

do all sorts of magic tricks.

- Oh!

Tula, Groove?

Did you hear that?

- [Groove] Yeah.

- Magic tricks.

- [Tula] Magic.

- [Groove] Yes.

- Yes, we've got cards,

and cups, and bowls,

and magic flowers like this.

- Hoobygalooby.

- Ta-da.

- [Groove & Tula] Oh, wow!

- And there's these

three conjuring rings.

They're my favorite.

- Rings?

Oh, that's precisely

what I'm looking for.

We need three rings to

make froogle fruit rings

for the froogle fruit dance.

They're hoobacious.

How do they work?

- Like this.

Abracadabra.

(gasps)

- Tula, Groove,

did you see that?

- [Groove] Yeah.

- These conjuring rings

are perfect.

Will one fit over me?

Can you try?

Oh, it fits.

- Yes, it fits.

- (giggles) hoob-hoob-hooray!

- Here you are, Iver.

- Hm?

- We've got a spare set.

- Oh, for me?

Thank you, thank you.

I must get back to

the Hoobmobile now.

Hooble toodle doo.

- [Tiddlypeeps]

Hooble toodle doo.

(grandiose music)

(Iver laughs)

(cork pops)

- Oh, Groove, I can't

wait to twine the vine

round those conjuring rings.

- Yeah, me too, Tula.

Though I do like my

froogle fruit crown.

- Here we are, three

conjuring rings.

One each.

Who is it?

- [Tula] Oh.

- [Iver] Oh.

No, no, they're magic

of course, aren't they?

- Mm-hmm.

- (Giggles)

- Yes, come on, Iver.

Get them apart.

They won't work if they're

joined together, will they?

- Well, no, obviously not.

No, now, um.

How did the Tiddlypeep do it?

I remember, he said something.

Oh, nat-rappa-lapra.

(clinks)

Oh.

Ooh, bat-rappa-lapra.

(giggles)

(clinks)

- You didn't actually

learn how to do the trick,

did you, Iver?

- Oh, hooby bother.

No, I didn't.

How silly.

You know, I just got so excited

I found the right rings.

I'm sorry.

I've made a real hooby boo-boo.

- Oh, we all make hooby

boo-boos sometimes, Iver.

- Hubba Hubba (echos).

I've made a bit of a hooby

boo-boo with my vine, Iver,

but don't give up because

I found the hooble dooble

(mumbles) hooblet that

might give you another idea

for a froogle fruit ring.

Take a look at this.

(computer whirring)

- [Narrator] Wendy the

Penguin lived in Antarctica

with lots of other penguins.

(bell rings)

One morning, Wendy

woke up as usual,

drew the curtains of

her igloo, and sighed,

- [Wendy] "It's always the same.

Snow, snow, and more snow."

- [Narrator] She got up,

put on her hat and scarf,

and waddled outside to join

all the other penguins,

and they all waddled

down to the sea.

- [Wendy] "It's

always the same."

- [Narrator] Said Wendy.

- [Wendy] "Waddle,

waddle, waddle."

- [Narrator] When they got to

the sea, the penguins took off

their hats and scarves, and

ran into the ice cold water

to find their breakfast.

(whimpering)

- [Wendy] "It's

always the same."

- [Narrator] Said Wendy.

- [Wendy] "Fish,

fish, and more fish."

- [Narrator] After breakfast,

it was time to play.

(bright music)

The penguins all ran

and skated on the ice.

"Wee!" they cried.

But Wendy sighed,

- [Wendy] "It's always the same.

"Slippety, slippety, slip.

Oh, I do wish something

different would happen."

- [Narrator] Suddenly,

in the distance,

Wendy saw lots of penguins

jumping up and down.

They had found a

big rubber tire.

(chimes)

(Penguins murmuring)

Wendy had a bright idea.

She sat on the tire, and all

the other little penguins

joined her.

(slide whistling)

Then she said to her dad,

- [Wendy] "Give us a push, Dad."

- [Narrator] So he did.

- [Wendy] "Whiz!"

- [Narrator] The tire spun

round and round on the ice.

(cheering)

- [Wendy] "It's a

wiz-a-go-round!"

- [Narrator] The penguins were

so pleased with their new toy

that they named it Wendy's

Wonderful Wiz-A-Go-Round.

- [Wendy] "Something

different, at last!"

- [Narrator] Said Wendy.

(computer whirring)

- Ah, now Wendy's

Wiz-A-Go-Round would definitely

be big enough for a

froogle fruit ring.

- And I, Groove,

have just the thing.

The spare Hoobmobile tire.

- Just as well, Groove, because

I'll never be a magician.

- Oh nevermind, Iver, you're

good at lots of other things.

Now, let me just try

and loop you with this.

- Oh yes, there we are.

(Groove grunts)

(spring boings)

(body thudding)

- Oh dear.

- Hm, too heavy.

- I'm sorry.

- No, I'm sorry, Groove.

I should have learned

how to do that trick

with the conjuring rings.

- Oh, cheer up,

you two.

- Hubba Hubba (echos).

- It's Hubba Hubba.

- (laughs) Is it a bit

over the top, you think?

- Well, you might not be

able to loop Auntie Hattie

through the middle of it.

- At least you're further

on than we are, Hubba Hubba.

We haven't even found any rings.

- Well, but I'm sure another

visit to the Tiddlypeeps

will sort that

out for you, Iver.

- Yes!

Come on, Iver.

I'll go and see them, and

you can drive me there.

- All right, Tula, let's wake

up those little Motorettes.

Come on.

(light jazz piano music)

- And I'll see

you later, Groove.

Hooble tood, hooble toodle

doooooo!

(spring boings)

- (laughs) Oh, Hubba Hubba.

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeep.

- Hey what's up, Tula?

- What've you got there?

- It's a hula hoop.

- Can you see this, Iver?

[Iver & Groove] Oh, yes.

- It's a hula hoop.

(Groove giggles)

- Hula hoop.

- We've been looking for

something just like this.

- Well, shall I show you

what we use this for, Tula?

- Please do, Claire.

- Well, you put it over

your head like this.

- Oh, you loop it

over your head!

Look, Iver, it's

big enough to go

over your head.

- [Iver & Groove] Yes, yes.

- Yes, and then you

spin it like this.

- Hoobygalooby.

That is so clever, Claire.

It's perfect, it's

just the sort of ring

we've been searching for to

make a froogle fruit ring.

Iver?

- Yes?

- Can you order some

hula hoops from HoobNet?

We might just manage to

get our froogle fruit rings

ready in time for Hoob News.

- All right.

- Good luck, Tula, and

Happy Froogle Fruit Day.

- Thank you, Claire.

I'll always remember you

on Froogle Fruit Day.

You've found us just

what we've needed.

I must dash now.

Hooble toodle doo.

(grandiose music)

- Hooble toodle doo.

- How hooby groovy was that?

- Very hooby groovy

indeed, Groove.

Look!

- (groans).

- Here they are.

- Yeah!

- Come on then, we've

better get twining.

Wee!

- Whoa! (laughs).

Hoobledoop, Hoobs.

Are you ready to give

me your Hoob News

for my Great Hoobapedia?

- [Everyone] We're

ready, Hubba Hubba.

- Then take it away.

(news music)

- Hoobledoop whoop,

to all of you Hoobs out there.

Welcome to Hoob News, the news

show for Hoobs everywhere.

I'm Iver.

- I'm Tula.

- And I'm Groove.

- And today we've been

asking a question--

- Do Peeps have rings

that can be used as

froogle fruit rings?

- [Iver] Hubba Hubba

found us some pictures

of glittery rings

in a jewelry shop.

- But they weren't nearly big

enough to twine a vine around.

- [Tula] But then Roma

showed us some hoopla rings

at a fairground.

- We could twine the froogle

fruit vine 'round these,

but they weren't big enough

to loop over a partner

in the froogle fruit dance.

- Then Iver went to

see the Tiddlypeeps,

who showed him some

conjuring rings.

- [Iver] But I forgot to

ask how to do the trick

to separate them.

- [Tula] But then, Hubba

Hubba found us a story

about a big tire.

- [Groove] And I went out and

got the spare Hoobmobile tire,

which was definitely big enough.

- [Iver] Too big, in fact.

(spring boings)

- We were just giving up all

hope when Hubba Hubba suggested

another trip to the Tiddlypeeps.

- [Groove] And that's

where Tula found

exactly what we

were looking for.

- [Everyone] A hula hoop!

- So, what are you

waiting for, Hoobs?

Happy Froogle

Fruit Day (laughs).
