Duck Quacks Don't Echo is a British television comedy panel game show that aired on Sky1 from 7 February 2014 to 12 October 2017. It was hosted by Lee Mack.
Each episode has three rounds.
- Fact Off - The three guests reveal their favourite fact and try to see if it is true. The fact proving segments are narrated by John Sergeant.
- In Series 1 and 2, the panellists (excluding the Verifiers) scored the facts.
- From Series 3 onwards, an average was taken from the audience.
- Fact Finder - Each of the three guests choose an audience member who has a fact which is given to three experts (also known as "The Verifiers" within the show) who reveal if the facts are true or not, as well as score them.
- Cell biology and genetics Dr Emily Grossman
- Rocket scientist Dr Simon Foster
- Chemical engineer David Wharton (Series 1–2)
- Space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock (Series 3 onwards)
- Mack's Fact (Series 1–2) - The guest with the highest score takes part in a fact Mack wants to prove.
- Mack's Facts (Series 3 onwards) - Mack gives clues to three facts, and whoever can guess the fact gets a point.
