(sniffs) Hoobnip tart.
- Hurry up, can't
you, would you?
Oh, this'll do, thank you.
There we go, oh no, no, no!
(box thuds)
Ouch!
- (laughs) You know,
I've had enough
of sorting hoobnips, Tula.
I don't think we've
ever grown so many.
- Why don't we play a
game while we're sorting?
- Yeah, that's a good idea--
- Box!
Box, box!
(grunts) Thank you.
Oh, heavier.
- (laughs) Yeah.
- Oh, whoa, whoa, ah.
I'm fine.
- Okay.
- [Iver] Oh, no!
(box thumping)
Not again.
- I know know, we can
play hooby go slow.
- Oh, yes, I love hooby go slow.
(giggles) Hoobnip tart.
(slowly mumbling)
- Right, come on, come on, come.
Groove, you've hardly
sorted a single hoobnip
while I've been gone.
- That's because we're
playing hobby go slow.
- We don't have time for games.
There are all these
hoobnips to sort
then we've got to clear up.
Then there's Hoob News to do.
- Go on, Iver, you play.
(inhales) Hoobnip tart.
- No, I can't, really, I can't.
- (humming) Go on, just try.
- Oh, okay, Groove, I'll try to.
Oh, no, I can't, I can't.
Just give me a box,
that box there.
- Okay.
- Not that box, the
hoobnip tart box.
Oh, you're too slow.
Groove, come here, come here.
That's it, just give me the box.
I don't believe it.
Now they're all bruised.
Well, all these will have
to go in a jam box now.
Oh, hooby bother.

- Hooby galloby, he's
getting his twizzletuft
in right twist.
- Now, let me see, hmm.
- You're telling me.
How can we slow Iver down?
- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,
Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- How can we slow Iver down?
That's a Hoobledoobledooper
question, Tula.
- But I don't wan to slow
down, thank you, Hubba Hubba.
I'm too busy.
- Oh, but you've
got to try, Iver.
It's the only way of answering
the question for Hoob News,
and you've never
let me down yet.
- You're right, Hubba Hubba.
For the sake of Hoob News.
- That's the spirit.
Yes, I'll email Roma,
but first, let me see if I
have anything about going slow.
Ah.
- Huh?
- Here's a story.
- On Hoobnet, yes, yes, we know.
Thank you, Hubba Hubba.
(computer whizzing)
(cheerful music)
- [Narrator] Harold the
Hare was always showing off
to Tommy the Tortoise.
"I can hop much
higher than you."
Poor Tommy couldn't hop at all.
"I can burrow much
deeper than you."
Poor Tommy couldn't
burrow at all.
"I can run much
faster than you."
(upbeat music)
Poor Tommy couldn't run at all.
One night, Wise Owl
flew down from his tree
and tapped on Tommy's
shell with his beak.
"If you want to teach
that hare a lesson,
"I suggest you have
a race with him."
"But I'd never win a race
against Harold the Hare.
"I'm too slow."
"Sometimes slow is best."
So the race was on.
Harold set off on his springy
legs and whizzed far ahead.
Tommy plodded after him.
Harold sh*t round a corner
and started to laugh.
(Harold laughing)
"I can sit here in the
nice warm sun for awhile
"and I'll still win the race."
Meanwhile, Tommy plodded on.
He was so busy plodding
that he didn't notice Harold
fast asleep in the long grass,
and Harold was so busy sleeping
that he didn't notice
Tommy plodding by.
At the moment Tommy was about
to cross the finish line,
Harold woke up,
and even though
Harold ran faster
than he had ever
run in his life,
(Harold squealing)
and even though the Tortoise
is one of the slowest
animals in the world,
Tommy crossed the line first.
"See, sometimes slow is best."
- [Iver] What?
(Tula laughing)
- Aha, the slow tortoise won.
So what does that mean, Iver?
- Well, oh, I don't know.
I've got things to do.
- It means you might
get even more done
if you did things more slowly.
- If you rode a tortoise,
then you'd have to slow down.
- Oh, don't be daft,
Groove, that's a silly idea.
- No, it's not.
After all, Peeps ride horses
if they want to go fast,
so why can't Hoobs
ride tortoises if
they want to go slow?
- Yeah, and while you're riding,
you could be thinking,
planning, writing things down.
- And we'd have the
answer to our question!
- Now you're talking.
All right then, I'm
going to order a tortoise
from Hoobnet right now.
(button boings)
- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,
Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- [Iver] Ah, Hubba Hubba,
I need a tortoise fast.
- Fast?
- I'm going to ride a
tortoise round the Hoobmobile.
- (laughs) Iver, I can't
wait to see you do that.
Let me see.
Oh, oh dear.
- [Iver] Yes?
- I'm afraid you can't
order a tortoise, Iver.
- Why?
♪ Why, why, why ♪
♪ Why ♪
(tuba blaring)
- Because a tortoise wouldn't
be happy, that's why.
It says here that a
tortoise lives in the wild
and must stay there.
- See, I told you
it was a silly idea.
I must get on.
- We'll have to think of some
other way to slow Iver down.
- Yeah.
- Well, I've just found
something on Hoobnet
that might help, Tula.
Iver?
- Huh?
- Stop for a second and
take a look at this.
- Well, okay, but
I haven't got long.
I've got to get all the
hoobnips stored away.
(computer whizzing)
- [Hubba Hubba] This
animal you see here, Hoobs,
lives in the jungles
on the Peep Planet
and it's called a sloth.
- Oh.
- Sloth.
- [Hubba Hubba] He
spends most of his time
hanging upside down.
Hey, he looks very
happy, doesn't he?
It's probably because he likes
to take things very slowly.
Doesn't like to rush at all.
- Oh, Iver, this is
going to be such fun.
- What is?
- Well, you pretending
to be a sloth.
- Oh, no, no, forget it.
You think if I pretended to
be a sloth I'd go slowly?
- Well, I think you
should test it out.
- It can't be waiting
till Hoob News can it?
- Oh all right, for
the sake of Hoob News.
Here I am.
I'm Iver the sloth.
Oh, dear.
There.
- Ahem, slower, Iver.
You're a sloth, remember?
- Ha!
(upbeat music)
(Iver laughing)
(Iver grunts)
(box thuds)
I can't do it. I'm not
a sloth, I'm a Hoob.
- Oh, I know why
it's not working.
Sloths do things
upside down, remember?
- Upside down?
Are you out of your hooby head?
How could I possibly
carry hoobnips around
while I'm hanging
upside down?
- Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
(computer whizzing)
- I don't know how, Iver,
but I'm rather enjoying
being a sloth (laughs).
How about a visit--
- To the Tiddlypeeps.
- Of course, the Tiddlypeeps.
- Yeah, I'll go see
the Tiddlypeeps, Iver,
and you can drive.
- Oh, yes, yes, as
quickly as we can.
(Iver laughing)
- Uh, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Iver, Iver, Iver, stop.
- Huh?
- As slowly as we can.
- Oh (laughing).

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps.
- [Boys] Hoobledoop, Groove.
- Do you want to
do a hooby hello?
- [Together] Yes, hoobledoop,
hoobledoop, whoo, whoo, whoo.
- What we're you
two doing there?
It looked really strange.
- We were practicing
for a three-legged race.
- So why is it called
a three=legged race,
you haven't got
three legs (laughs)?
Have you?
- No, Groove, in a
three-legged race,
you tie one of your legs
to someone else's, see.
- [Groove] And does that
make you run faster?
- You can go quite
fast when you practice,
but at first, you
go much more slowly.
- We're trying to
slow Iver down.
Maybe this'll do it?
I'm gonna get back
to the Hoobmobile
and tie Iver to
something right now.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- [Boys] Hoobletoodledoo!
(cheerful music)
- Oh, come on.
It'll be hoobelly
groobelly, Iver.
- (laughs) No it won't.
- (gasps) Look!
I have got just the thing
from my hooby bits box.
- Now then, who
shall we tie Iver to?
- To you, Groove!
- (gasps) To me?
- Yes, to you.
- (laughs) Hoobygroovy.
I can't wait to be
tied to you, Iver.
- Yes.
- I'm going to tie
your arms together.
- Huh, why our arms?
- Well, if you want
to run more slowly,
then you tie legs together.
But if you want to carry
things more slowly,
then you tie arms
together, come here.
- The things I do for Hoob News.
- There.
Now, try shifting a box.
- Oh, right then.
- Oh, that's an easy thing--
- Come on, Iver.
- (laughs) Right.
Turn it round,
you'll have to help.
- I'm trying to help.
- Don't drop it.
- There we are, have you got it?
- I have it, very well.
Ha ha!
(Groove chuckles)
- Good, nice and slow.
- Yeah.
- Of course.
(Grooves tummy growling)
- Huh?
Ah, Groove, Groove,
what are you doing?
- Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Iver.
It's just that my
tummy is rumbling
and when I hear it I just have
to answer the call (laughs).
Do you want anything?
- Yes, I want to store
away the hoobnips
as quickly as
possible, by myself!
Oh, right, that's it.
That is it.
- (sighs) Hooby bun.
- [Computer] Roma, Roma, Roma.
- It's Roma.
I do hope she's found something.
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs.
- [Together] Hoobledoop, Roma.
- Now, I think I may have
found a hoobacious way
to slow Iver down.
- Really, Roma, what is it?
Ooh!
- Ooh indeed, Tula.
Fantabihooby, eh?
- That is hoobygroovy.
- Yes, it is, Groove,
and now I'm going to have a go.
- (scoffs) I don't see how
this is going to slow me down.
- Oh, yes it will, Iver
because when you balance
something like this,
you have to move very
slowly to make sure
it doesn't fall off.
- Doesn't it give
you a headache?
- Oh, no, not if
you do it properly.
- That's what you need, Iver.
- [Iver] Hmm.
- Oh, yes, if I rushed
around in a tizzy,
this bundle would
fall off right away.
This is a very slow,
steady Roma Hoob,
reporting for Hoob News.
Hobbletoodledoo.
- [Together] Hoobletoodledoo!
(Iver chuckles)
- Come on, Iver.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, I
am not walking around
with a box of
hoobnips on my head.
- It's nearly time
for Hoob News.
- Huh?
Oh, all right,
Groove, all right.
- Wow, very fetching (chuckles).
- There you are.
- All right, okay.
- Slowly.
Slowly.
- Yes, yes.
- Okay.
- Ha ha!
- Oh!
- Okay, here I go.
- [Tula] Whoo!
- There we go (chuckles).
Whee, ha, oh, yes, yes,
yes, quite easy (chuckles).
Oh no, oh yes.
Oh no, oh yes (chuckles)
Just through here.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's fine.
- Now make your way slowly
to the clutter cupboard.
- I am, ha.
Ah, aha.
- (laughs) It's gonna take
him all day at this rate.
- All day?
But I don't have all day!
Oh, ah, there, made it.
Oh no!
(box thuds)
Oh, it's no good.
I haven't got time to practice.
I just can't do it.
I can't be slow.
- [Computer] Hubba hubba,
Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- I know what, Hoobs.
Take another trip
to the Tiddlypeeps.
- Oh, that's a hoobygroovy
idea, Hubba Hubba.
- Yes, I'll go this time.
(laughs) If the Tiddlypeeps
can't help me to slow down,
then no one can.
Come on.
- Oh, I'll drive.

hoobledoop, Iver.
- What are your friends
doing over there?
- They're playing
Grandmother's Footsteps.
- Oh, right.
So you have to sneak up on
the Tiddlypeep at the front
without them catching you?
- That's right, do
you want to play?
- Oh, could I?
Oh, thanks, Tiddlypeeps.
Here goes.
- [Children] Okay.
(whimsical music)
- Iver, I see you.
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Try again.
- Oh, what did I do wrong?
- You were moving too fast.
- That's been my
problem all day.
- [Groove] I'll say.
- I've been trying
to move slowly,
but I just can't seem to do it.
- Have you tried
thinking slowly?
- Yes, you can't move slowly
unless you think slow.
- Think slow?
No, I haven't been doing that.
Oh, maybe that's what I've
been doing wrong all day.
I've been trying to move slowly,
but I've been thinking
about all the things
I have to get done,
and Hoobs news,
and oh, before you
know it, I'm rushing.
- Well, let's try to
play the game again.
- Yes, just do what we do.
- (whispering) This
time, just think slow.
(whimsical music)
- [Tula] Come on, Iver.
- [Iver] Slow.
- (whispering) First think
slow, then move slow.
- [Iver] Yes.
Ha, ha, ha, gotcha, I gotcha.
(children cheering)
I did it, I did it.
Oh, no, no, no, slow.
I did it.
- Yes, Iver, now you're
really good at thinking slow.
- Yes, I suppose I am, aren't I?
(laughs) Thank you
so much, Tiddlypeeps.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- [Children] Hoobletoodledoo!
(cheerful music)
- Well, Groove, do
you think it's worked?
- We'll soon find out.
- Watch this, I am
going to think slow,
and not let any fast ideas
spin around in my head.
(Iver chuckles)
There.
- Yeah.
- Easy.
I knew I could do it.
No nonsense (chuckles).
- He's doing it.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
(Iver sighs)
- How hoobaciously
slow was that?
- Oh, Iver, well done.
(gasps) You didn't
drop a single hoobnip.
- Yeah.
- And I feel really calm.
- Well, there you are then.
- Do you know what?
- [Groove] What?

- Well, Hoobs, are you
ready with your Hoob News
for my great Hoobopaedia?
- [Iver, Tula, And Groove]
We're ready, Hubba Hubba.
- Then off you go.
(upbeat music)
- Hoobledoop whoo 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 the question--
- How can we slow Iver down?
- [Iver] First of all,
we tried to order a
tortoise for me to ride,
but that wasn't allowed.
- [Groove] Then we found out
that sloths move really slowly.
- [Tula] So we got Iver
to pretend to be a sloth.
- [Iver] But there was no
way I could shift boxes
while hanging upside down.
- [Tula] The Tiddlypeeps
showed Groove a game
called a three-legged race,
which can really slow you down.
- [Groove] So Iver
was tied to me,
but Iver and I didn't want to
move in the same direction.
- [Tula] Roma told us how
some people can carry things
on their heads and
then move slowly.
- [Groove] But Iver
couldn't do it.
No matter how hard he tried.
- Then the Tiddlypeeps told me
that you have to think slow
before you can move slowly,
and now I'm the slowest,
calmest Hoob in the universe.
- (laughs) I'm not
sure about that, Iver,
but you've come a long way fast.
Oh, I mean slowly.
Oh, anyway, well done.
- Oh, yes, well done, Iver.
- Yes, well done, Iver.
- 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, calm, slow
day and hoobletoodledoo!
