Finding Out

2001-01-15 25 min

The Hoobs are here to find out all about Peeps and Tiddlypeeps, which makes them wonder how Tiddlypeeps find things out. Along the way they also discover how many hoobnips fit in a tart tin, how to give Roma the Hoobyhics and how much fun you can have with something soft and squidgy. By the time they get to Hoob News one thing they've found out is just how much there is to find out!

Monkeys

Episode 3

Hello

25 min

Groove thinks there can't be a better way of saying hello than giving his tail a good old wagga-wagga - it's almost as good as a Hoobledigger! But how do the Tiddlypeeps say hello to their friends when they're really pleased to see them? They find out how Queens say hello and Roma even says hello to some rugby players but in the end the Tiddlypeeps teach them the nicest hello of all!

Laughing

25 min

Nothing makes a Hoob laugh like a hoobledangler. And Tiddlypeeps laugh at all sorts of strange things but they don't don't find hoobledanglers funny at all. So what would make a Hoob AND a Tiddlypeep laugh? The Hoobs try to laugh at things in crackers, things you sit on and Peeps who fall over. But in the end it's something much simpler that's funny enough to make Groove drop his plank!
