hey everyone so first of all very quickly I apologize for the lighting in
here I don't know why it's appalling because this is normally the time day
when I film and it's the days were supposed to be getting lighter and but
yeah today I'm talking about the hoops and it looks was one of my favorite
shows it first aired in 2000 and then it ran till 2002 but the repeats were still
played and I loved loved loved this show it was on milkshake just before high
five so we're talking six 1/2 six and every morning wouldn't fail I would get
up and watch the hoops I loved it it's about a puppet it's not like an
animation but it's not real people they're puppets and they're like fuzzy
and they don't have the characteristics of humans you know they have arms they
have legs they have hands they have a face but obviously they're not human
because they have a twizzle tuft on their head and so hair and their
mannerisms are different and they live in sort of caravan but it's like a
really bright for a campervan but it's really bright and colorful and funky and
you have the motorettes who sang the songs which I'll cut onto the songs in a
minute I mean any other five main characters you have haba haba who is
blue and he has big blue ears and he's your sort of head hoob he is the one he
reports to the three main other hoops with a story that they have to do and he
gives them a question and they have to go investigate that question which again
and we'll talk about more soon and we have to find the answer to that question
then at the end of each episode they report back with the answer of that
question in hoob news then you have Roma who is yourself
orangey colour like an orangey coppery type of colour
and she is your little reporter and she goes out and into various places in the
real world and and find out what she can't give the other hoobs a helping
hand with solving the question now you have the three hoops who live in the
caravan campervan who solved the question and that is Iver groove and
Tula Iver is the purple one and he's very much you're right we have to get
this job done now guys he's very organised he's very not controlling but
he's like smelly everything's being done the right way
and then you have groove who's green and he's a bit carefree he likes to collect
he likes to collect collections I'm a little bit like that actually and he's
very sort of giggly and energetic and naughty not late doesn't care but it's a
lot more laid-back than I ever then you have Tula who is pink and she's
the only girl one and she is the sensible one of course she is she's a
girl what more could you expect and then I said you of the motorettes who sing a
song and when the three main hoops Iver groove and Tula get the question and you
have to think about it and then they'll end that question with a question like
who or what or why and then that you have the little dream weave and then you
will go to the more direct and then they will say that they're off to see the
tiddlypeeps now the tiddlypeeps are the hoobs name
for children and they got other children these real children and ask them
questions and try and find out answers to solve this specific question that
they have been asked and it is educational you do have that educational
value straight away because the hoobs are learning the children at home when
maybe even the adults at home watching are going to be learning about this
topic this question they're going to be finding the answer out there not
necessarily difficult questions um but for younger children they might be
considered a little bit more challenging I was eight when this first came out not
really the target audience age I'd say it's more of a I'm sure that would be on
CBeebies their target audience is like birth until seven years old with a push
so it's not really if my target audience age then and definitely not now what I
still love it and one of the main reasons I love it is the fact that there
are so many funny words in this there call who bit ins which is basically the
hoobs language they speak English and but they have thrown their own slang if
you like so I've written a list of all my favorite ones so they say hi by going
hooble doop so and i will come in and go hooble doop groove now and then they
have a long high which is like when I'm really excited then you go hoobledoop
hoobledoop whoop I love that one and then you have hooble-toodle-doo
which is goodbye of course and then you have hoobacious which is grooves
favourite word and it means fantastic which is explained quite a lot for sure
which is pretty cool and then you have a table peep as I said as a child and the
peep is an adult and sorry I was reading this on Wikipedia today closely I
couldn't remember them all and an old person is called a wrinkly peep I'm
sorry I I loved a lot when I read bucks it's
just too blunt and straightforward old person wrinkly peep it a to make me
laugh and then as I said the twizzle tuft is their tuft of hair on the top of
their head which I know you can't see what I'm doing
and then the hooby pods is there bad if you wanted a Wikipedia page which I will
link in the below bar there is a whole list of em who BISM so they are really
fun and funky words and it's just it's not a big laugh but is educational but
it's fun and brightly-colored there wasn't that much in the way of
merchandise and I remember I think McDonald's did like little hoop toys at
one point like a teddy I wa and it's heavy grooving things but it wasn't like
a massive franchise or anything yeah it still did exceptionally well obviously
it only it was only I'm in production for two years and I've usually carried
it on for a bit but I think there was enough episodes to sort of make you
entertaining and you should have been more direct and then you have really
funky songs I'm not gonna say any of them but it is it's just so it's so
lively and energetic for being on it six off 6:00 in the morning and is it
brilliant so we'll March if you haven't seen it I will if I can find some really
good clips I'll put links to certain clips in the below bar and but if you
just search the hoops on YouTube I'm fairly sure you'll get a lot of clips
there but I'm going to see what I can find for you but it is it's just
absolutely fantastic so please feel free to leave comments and things and let me
know your thoughts as it for now and your requests feel free to let me know
and I will see you next time bye
