Buzz and Tell

Buzz and Tell[1] is a CBeebies programme created and produced by Jon Doyle. It is a comedy puppet panel show following a format that parodies University Challenge. There are five contestants in each episode. Each show includes a "missing word round", a "picture round", a "numbers round", a "sound round", and sometimes a "general knowledge round". The winner receives a silly prize; for example, Mr. Biscuits won a wooden spoon in episode 28.[2]

Characters

Different contestants appear in different episodes. Mr Biscuits has appeared in every episode alongside Mr Flipstick the quiz master.

• Walter Flipstick - He is the quizmaster of the show and a walrus.
• Mr Biscuits - He is a monster, he likes biscuits
• Orange Bernard - He is a banana-obsessed orangutan. His greatest achievement is the ability to eat a banana sideways.
• Ken Koala - He is a very shy koala with an Australian accent.
• Miss Honkover - She is an exotic bird, she likes singing
• Melanie Wiggles - She is a rabbit who studies carrots.
• Karl - He is a cat with a large knowledge of nuts. He regularly forgets to press his buzzer and what he was going to say next.
• Henrietta Peck - She is a chicken who is often joined by one of her eggs hatching into a very deep voiced chick part way through the show.
• Charles Cheese - He is a mouse with a cheese fascination. Also, he is the smallest of all of the contestants.
• B1N - He is a rubbish bin robot made from a pedal bin. B1N frequently answers "sausage" to any question.
• Callista Croak - She is a frog who likes to keep fit and jumping.
