Buzz and Tell is a 5 minute long CBeebies programme created and produced by Jon Doyle of 'Impossible Kids.' 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','sound round', and sometimes a 'general knowledge round'. The winner receives a silly prize - Mr Biscuits won a wooden spoon in episode 28.
