Buzz and Tell

Buzz and Tell 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 "general knowledge". The winner receives a silly prize; for example, Mr. Biscuits won a wooden spoon in episode 28.

Characters

Different contestants appear in different episodes. Mr. Biscuits and Charles Cheese have appeared in every episode alongside Walter Flipstick the quizmaster.

• Host: Walter Flipstick – He is a walrus who is the quizmaster of the show.
• Orange Bernard – He is an orangutan who is obsessed with bananas. His greatest achievement is the ability to eat a banana sideways. Walter Flipstick once swapped places with Orange Bernard for the tie - breaker and got it correct.
• Ken Koala – He is a very shy koala with an Australian accent.
• Karl – He is a chinchilla with a large knowledge of nuts. He regularly forgets to press his buzzer and once reminded by Walter, forgets what he was going to say next.
• Miss Honkover – She is an exotic bird who likes singing.
• Callista Croak – She is a frog who likes to keep fit.
• Charles Cheese – He is a mouse with a cheese fascination. He is also the smallest of all of the contestants.
• Melanie Wiggles – She is a rabbit who studies carrots.
• 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.
• Mr. Biscuits – He is a hare who likes biscuits.
• B1N – He is a rubbish bin robot made from a pedal bin. B1N frequently gives a ridiculous answer to every question.
