Duck Quacks Don't Echo (2014-2017)
Can dogs catch yawns from humans? Is it possible to sneeze with your eyes open? And do duck quacks indeed echo? Luckily, Lee Mack's on hand to answer these important questions in a brand new comedy panel series.
Each week, three celebrity guests will offer up an incredible fact for discussion. With the help of some plucky boffins, they'll attempt to prove to their fellow panelists - and the nation - it's true. The first episode features Ruth Jones, alongside Dara O'Briain and Spice Girl, Melanie C.
No stone will be left unturned in pursuit of the truth, whether it involves gluing celebs to the ceiling or giving electric shocks to the general public - for research purposes, of course.
Panelists will score one another as they strive to unearth the most mind-blowing facts and the winner each week will take part in a daring studio stunt in the name of science (and great telly).
"I'm really, really excited at the prospect of finally putting to the test such important, profound and meaningful debates as, 'Do cows with names really provide more milk?'" says Lee Mack.
Well, do they?
