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', a 'sound round,' and sometimes a 'general knowledge round'. The winner receives a silly prize -- Mr. Biscuits won a wooden spoon in episode 28.

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 an unknown species (he looks like a rabbit, but he has a red nose, like a clown's) who is an expert in the subject of biscuits. He once invented a biscuit that bakes itself.
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 showbiz bird.
