Lee Mack gets a quacker role at Sky

Lee Mack is to front a brand new entertainment series, which had previously been announced as a pilot. Now the comedian will host a full series of Duck Quacks Don’t Echo.

The fourteen hour-long editions are based around amazing facts and trivia. Shot in front of a studio audience, each show will see three celebrity panellists offering up an incredible fact in a bid to prove they have the best.

The heritage of the fact may be from pub banter or it could be based on anecdotal evidence, either way each celebrity champions and stands by the authenticity of their claim as they are put to the test by any means necessary. Whether it involves gluing themselves to a ceiling or participants receiving electric shocks, the elaborate and hilarious methods will be employed to establish a winner.

Lee Mack says “I’m really, really excited at the prospect of finally putting to the test such important, profound and meaningful debates as ‘do cows that have names really provide more milk?”

Duck Quacks Don’t Echo will start filming this Spring to air on Sky 1.
