Brendan "Mrs Brown" O'Carroll drags this pound-shop QI through to the last episode, with his teams captained by Danny and Fiona O'Carroll and Bill Oddie as this week's expert. The audience titter whenever the word "fact" is used where an expletive could stand. Surely that Question Time job beckons for O'Carroll.

For Facts Sake: like a concussed QI

Look out, Brendan O'Carroll has a new role as a quiz-show host.

Stuart Heritage, i Newspaper, 15th October 2018

Brendan O'Carroll's remorseless rampage through various light-entertainment formats continues. Having laid waste the sitcom and the chatshow, the Mrs Brown's Boys creator tackles the panel quiz. It's as proudly inane as you would expect, although the element of audience participation does give it a pleasingly chaotic edge.
