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.
