Hi all, posting for traffic for what I feel is a long shot.
I watched 'The Hoobs' growing up, and one episode terrified me and has since stuck with me. Within the episode, it was a story in which a little girl had a magic dollhouse complete with figures of her parents and younger brother. In the end this little girl finds the doll of a thief in the dollhouse wardrobe.. in the room with her in real life...
I was telling my friend about this, but I cannot find any reference to the episode anywhere online..
Long story short - I don't suppose anyone recognises my ramblings and can at least confirm I did not dream this up!?

Thank you and apologies in advance! Grin

There's a whole Hoobs playlist on YouTube - you could scan through there?

I've got 'We're off to see the tiddlypeeps' stuck in my head now - thanks Grin

I LOVED the Hoobs when DS watched it. I was gutted when they changed Groove's voice.

That's a whole lotta' Hoobs PhysaliaPhysalis!

I'm convinced it was in an episode, and it was super scary as a kid! But I cannot find anything! Shock

It seems a bit dark for The Hoobs. Their shows were more about finding out what the Tiddlypeeps did.

There's a list of Hoobs episodes with plot summaries on Wikipedia. Couldn't see anything about a dolls house but you may recognise an episode description /frame story?

Ah thank you TomHagenMakesMyBosomTremble!

I agree with @iklboo, that doesn't sound like a Hoobs episode. Could you be conflating a story you heard elsewhere?

Olivetree615 · 30/07/2019 16:29

I 100% remember seeing it on TV, early in the morning and I am convinced it was on a Hoobs episode.. the little girl put the doll of her brother on the roof and next thing you know her actual brother is on the house roof!

It's going to drive me insane.. Confused

It sounds more like a Round The Twist type programme than The Hoobs?

It rings a bell, I think I saw what you're talking about, I suspect it wasn't the hoobs though as I never really watched it.
