First the Teletubbies, then the Tweenies, now the Hoobs, the very latest characters to capture pre-schoolers imaginations. 250 half hour Channel 4 programmes have been commissioned and began transmission in January 2001, Monday to Friday - plus weekends in the Autumn. Meet Grove, Tula, Iver and the Motorettes who travel the universe in a Hoobmobile. Every episode is about discovery and the answer, for children, to a single question. Fun and at the same time educational It's also the first pre-school programme to introduce children to the internet.
