Mack's Facts (Series 3 onwards) - Mack gives clues to three facts, and whoever can guess the fact gets a point.
Episodes
46 episodes were produced, with the final episode of each series (the eighth episode) being a best-of compilation. The final episode for series 6 (a best-of compilation) was unaired.
Writing for The Arts Desk, Matthew Wright said of the first episode "With QI's questions about Noam Chomsky substituted for lightweight popular psychology and an investigation into dog urine, there's not enough substance to bear the weight of the lengthy investigations."[1]
