Christmas Special Buzz and Tell

Deck the halls and jingle your bells

for the Buzz & Tell Christmas Special.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes, it's your host, Walter Flipstick.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome to our fun-packed festive factual fest.

Let's straightaway meet the contestants.

I'm Melanie Wiggles and I'm learning that Christmas is a time for giving.

Carrots.

I'm Ken Koala,

and I'm hoping it snows so I can watch it out of my window.

I'm Orange Bernard and I'm learning 64 ways of wrapping a banana.

I'm Charles Cheese and I'm making a cheesy Christmas cake

with cream cheese and cheese icing.

I'm Mr Biscuits and I'm learning some biscuit-based Christmas carols.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Fingers on buzzers, the first round is a missing word round.

What's the missing word in this Christmas song?

Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny...?

BUZZER

-Tortoise.

-No.

BUZZER

Did he have a shiny tomato?

No, it's not tomato, Melanie, but it is red.

Listen again, very carefully.

Rudolf the red-NOSED reindeer had a very shiny...?

BUZZER

Nose.

It is nose, Charles, you got it on the nose.

That's a point to you.

Now it's time for our picture round, take a look at this

and tell me what it is.

BUZZER

-It's a brush, for cleaning chimneys.

-No.

BUZZER

That's a very green space rocket.

No, have another look.

BUZZER

It's a snozzler.

What's a snozzler?

You use it for snozzling, Mr Flipstick.

LAUGHTER

It isn't a snozzler, whatever that is.

BUZZER

That's a Christmas tree.

Well done, Ken, it is a Christmas tree.

One point to you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now it's time for the Christmas numbers round.

If I had four presents, and I opened two of them,

what would I have left?

What did you get, Mr Flipstick?

-Sorry?

-What was in the presents you opened?

Nothing. I'm making them up.

Making up your presents sounds fun.

I'd like a fur-lined tree house.

I'd like a cheese-flavoured lolly.

I'd like a carrot dispenser.

Oh, a banana hat for me, please.

Thank you. Thank you, everyone.

Now, can we please try to answer the question.

If I had four presents and I opened two of them what would I have left?

BUZZER

You've got to do some taking away.

Four presents, take away two presents,

would leave you with two presents, Mr Flipstick.

Brilliant, Melanie! Yes, two presents. A point to you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's go to our sound round and here's a wonderfully festive sound.

Buzz and tell me what it is.

BELLS JINGLE

BUZZER

Elves.

Elves? No.

These are found on Santa's reindeer so you can hear his sleigh coming.

BUZZER

Ears.

No.

BUZZER

-Red noses.

-No.

BUZZER

We all know this. They're very jingly.

ALL: Jingle bells.

That's right, it is jingle bells.

Everyone gets a point. That brings us

to the end of the quiz, let's look at the scores.

Oh!

We have a tie between Ken, Melanie and Charles Cheese.

So, we need a tie-break question.

What's that?

A card, with a question on it.

Oh! Is that how you do it?

You just read from a card?

Yes.

Can I have a go at being quizmaster?

Go on, as it's Christmas, Orange Bernard,

we'll swap places.

Ah!

Let's have a look at this.

LAUGHTER

Buttons on fingers, everyone.

Here's your tea-break quest...

Buzzers on... Fingers on buzzers,

your tie-break ques...

What the best thing to use to make a snowman's nose?

BUZZER

A carrot.

A carrot, very clever.

I would never have got that.

You're kidding, aren't you?

Well, you got it right,

so that must mean you're the winner, Mr Flipstick.

And your special prize is...

a big bucket of fish.

LAUGHTER

Thank you, I'm touched.

Thank you, everybody,

for watching this Christmassy episode of Buzz & Tell.

See you next time, and...

ALL: Merry Christmas!

ALL: Oh!

Snow!

Oh, that's just brilliant.
