Hello. I'm Rick Edwards and this is !mpossible, day 10.

0:00:020:00:05

Welcome to !mpossible,

0:00:170:00:18

the quiz where the questions aren't impossible,

0:00:180:00:20

but some of the answers always are.

0:00:200:00:23

They're not just wrong, they couldn't possibly be right.

0:00:230:00:26

For example, if I were to ask...

0:00:260:00:27

The right answer is Zambezi, the wrong answer is Nile,

0:00:330:00:37

but the Amazon is in South America, not an African river at all,

0:00:370:00:41

so that is an impossible answer.

0:00:410:00:43

Hoping to get lots of right answers

0:00:430:00:45

whilst dodging those pesky impossible answers are 30 players.

0:00:450:00:49

-Hello, players. ALL:

-Hi, Rick.

0:00:490:00:50

Nice to see you all.

0:00:500:00:52

They are with us throughout the series, competing,

0:00:520:00:54

not only for the daily prize pot of up to £1,500...

0:00:540:00:58

-ALL:

-Whoo!

0:00:580:00:59

But also for a shot at the £10,000 question.

0:00:590:01:03

-ALL:

-WHOO!

0:01:030:01:04

They're whooing because this exclamation mark

0:01:040:01:07

is filled with 10,000 shimmering pound coins,

0:01:070:01:10

and at the end of every show our winner faces one final question -

0:01:100:01:15

and here it is.

0:01:150:01:17

Today's £10,000 question.

0:01:170:01:18

Get this right and all of that cash will come flooding out.

0:01:180:01:24

Simon, you're new.

0:01:240:01:26

I am, yes.

0:01:260:01:27

I'm pleased to be here. Is everyone making you feel welcome?

0:01:270:01:29

Very welcome. They are a lovely bunch, especially on the middle row.

0:01:290:01:32

That's the way to curry favour, Simon.

0:01:350:01:37

You're in Gary's seat.

0:01:370:01:40

Gary did extremely well. Gary left the show yesterday with £1,200.

0:01:400:01:43

Yeah, he did very well and I'm feeling confident.

0:01:430:01:46

I feel like it's a lucky seat.

0:01:460:01:47

OK, OK.

0:01:470:01:49

Best of luck, Simon.

0:01:490:01:50

For now, let's crack on.

0:01:500:01:52

You're going to face five multiple-choice questions,

0:01:520:01:56

each with three answers.

0:01:560:01:57

The right answer scores you a point, the wrong answer scores you nothing,

0:01:570:02:02

but if you choose the impossible answer...

0:02:020:02:04

..it's a bit of a disaster.

0:02:050:02:07

That immediately knocks you out of today's show.

0:02:070:02:10

You'll have to try again next time.

0:02:100:02:12

After five questions, the highest scorer

0:02:120:02:15

gets the first chance to bag a place in today's final.

0:02:150:02:18

And do answer as quickly as you can, because if there's a tie,

0:02:180:02:22

whoever locked in their answers the fastest will qualify.

0:02:220:02:25

-Are you all ready? ALL:

-Yes!

0:02:250:02:28

Here's your first question. Good luck.

0:02:280:02:30

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:02:450:02:47

It is C, John.

0:02:490:02:51

So a point to most of you.

0:02:510:02:54

Craig went with David.

0:02:540:02:55

Yeah. I panic pressed, basically.

0:02:550:02:58

I don't know the answer, but it's not the answer I wanted to go for.

0:02:580:03:02

I wanted to go for John, naturally, because it's the right answer.

0:03:020:03:06

Yeah.

0:03:060:03:07

Vinessa, you went David.

0:03:070:03:09

I know, it sounds like a regal name so I just went with that, really.

0:03:090:03:12

I was expecting another name and that didn't come up.

0:03:120:03:16

-What name were you expecting?

-I don't know.

0:03:160:03:18

LAUGHTER

0:03:180:03:21

That will do.

0:03:210:03:22

OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:03:240:03:27

It's A, David.

0:03:300:03:31

There's never been a King of England called David.

0:03:310:03:35

I'm sorry. The three of you, we'll see you all next time.

0:03:350:03:38

Question number two.

0:03:410:03:44

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:03:580:04:00

It's B, Joe McElderry.

0:04:000:04:03

A point to everyone who went for Joe McElderry.

0:04:030:04:05

Does mean we're going to be losing some of you.

0:04:050:04:09

Kerry.

0:04:090:04:11

-You went for Olly Murs.

-I did.

0:04:120:04:16

Before I came onto the show, my daughter distinctly said,

0:04:160:04:20

"Olly Murs has not won The X Factor."

0:04:200:04:23

LAUGHTER

0:04:230:04:25

"So if you do see his name,

0:04:250:04:27

"under no circumstances do choose the name Olly Murs."

0:04:270:04:32

I said, "Very good, sweetheart."

0:04:320:04:33

However, I do have an explanation for this.

0:04:350:04:38

I don't know if you do, Kerry.

0:04:380:04:40

I had two voices in my head.

0:04:400:04:42

One said "do" and one said "don't". And I did.

0:04:430:04:47

I'm imagining your daughter at home...smashing the TV.

0:04:470:04:52

LAUGHTER

0:04:520:04:55

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:04:550:04:57

It's C, Olly Murs.

0:05:000:05:02

Your daughter was absolutely right. He didn't win The X Factor, Kerry.

0:05:020:05:07

He was runner-up to Joe McElderry. I don't know what to say to you.

0:05:070:05:11

LAUGHTER

0:05:110:05:13

Annie and Dan, we also have to lose you.

0:05:130:05:16

We'll see you next time.

0:05:160:05:18

Question number three.

0:05:190:05:21

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:05:350:05:37

A point to everyone who put B.

0:05:400:05:43

Now, the Cs, we need to hope

0:05:430:05:45

that Oscar Wilde is not an impossible answer.

0:05:450:05:49

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:05:490:05:51

It is Noel Coward,

0:05:540:05:55

so you all successfully avoided the impossible answer.

0:05:550:05:59

Question number four.

0:05:590:06:01

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:06:160:06:18

It's B, Tony Curtis.

0:06:200:06:22

So a point to everyone who put B.

0:06:230:06:26

Jane, have you seen Some Like It Hot?

0:06:260:06:28

Oh, probably 100 years ago,

0:06:280:06:30

but, you know, I can't remember who played that.

0:06:300:06:34

OK. Well, let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:06:340:06:38

It's Billy Wilder.

0:06:410:06:43

He wrote and directed the film.

0:06:430:06:45

-Oh, OK.

-Jane, Linda, we'll see you next time.

0:06:450:06:49

Bye.

0:06:490:06:52

Let's move on to question five.

0:06:520:06:54

Let's first reveal the impossible answer.

0:07:060:07:08

It's B, pilaf, a rice dish.

0:07:100:07:13

Well avoided.

0:07:130:07:14

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:07:140:07:16

It's Farsi, meaning the majority of you get a point,

0:07:190:07:23

which leaves us with four players on the maximum number of points, five.

0:07:230:07:28

Of those four players, Ash, Deb, Tracy and Kurtis,

0:07:280:07:32

I can tell you that the fastest to lock in their answers over the round

0:07:320:07:38

was Tracy!

0:07:380:07:39

APPLAUSE

0:07:390:07:41

Well done, Tracy.

0:07:410:07:42

You have the first chance to grab a place in today's final.

0:07:420:07:46

Tracy, you've already won £1,200 on the show,

0:07:510:07:55

we're going to see if we can get you some more money today.

0:07:550:07:58

This is your chance to put up to £500 into today's prize pot

0:07:580:08:02

and, crucially, take a massive step towards playing

0:08:020:08:06

the £10,000 question.

0:08:060:08:08

I'm going to give you a choice of four topics. Here they are.

0:08:080:08:11

I think I'll go for books and literature, please.

0:08:180:08:20

Books and literature. So this is how it works.

0:08:200:08:22

I'm going to reveal nine answers.

0:08:220:08:25

Here we go. We've got...

0:08:250:08:26

And the first half of the question...

0:08:430:08:46

Five of these answers are impossible because they aren't Mr Men books.

0:08:500:08:55

Your first job is to find the impossible answers.

0:08:550:08:59

Each impossible answer that you do manage to get rid of

0:08:590:09:02

will add £100 to today's prize pot.

0:09:020:09:05

-OK.

-Where would you like to start?

0:09:050:09:07

Mr Tumble.

0:09:090:09:10

Why are we getting rid of Mr Tumble?

0:09:110:09:13

I think he's a character on children's telly.

0:09:130:09:15

OK. Is Mr Tumble an impossible answer?

0:09:150:09:18

He is.

0:09:220:09:23

Played by Justin Fletcher, a popular children's TV character.

0:09:240:09:27

£100 into the prize pot.

0:09:270:09:29

Second answer, please, Tracy.

0:09:290:09:31

Mr Blobby.

0:09:310:09:32

What can you tell me about Mr Blobby?

0:09:330:09:36

Another character off telly.

0:09:360:09:37

OK. Is Mr Blobby an impossible answer?

0:09:370:09:41

He is.

0:09:440:09:45

From Noel's House Party.

0:09:460:09:48

What's your third go going to be?

0:09:480:09:51

Mr Irrelevant.

0:09:510:09:53

Any thoughts about Mr Irrelevant?

0:09:540:09:55

It just seems like the wrong sort of word

0:09:550:09:58

for a children's book, really, so...

0:09:580:10:01

OK. Is Mr Irrelevant an impossible answer?

0:10:010:10:06

It is. £300 added to the prize pot.

0:10:090:10:13

Mr Irrelevant is a name given

0:10:130:10:15

to the last player picked in the annual NFL draft.

0:10:150:10:19

-I knew that.

-I know you did, Tracy.

0:10:190:10:21

You just didn't want to show off.

0:10:210:10:23

-Exactly.

-OK.

0:10:230:10:25

Two more to eliminate.

0:10:250:10:26

Well, my husband's got a T-shirt

0:10:260:10:28

that says, "I live with Little Miss Bossy,"

0:10:280:10:31

so it could be that bossy is the Little Miss stories

0:10:310:10:33

rather than the Mr Men, so I'll go for Mr Bossy.

0:10:330:10:36

OK. Is Mr Bossy an impossible answer?

0:10:360:10:40

APPLAUSE

0:10:440:10:46

You were exactly right with your reasoning.

0:10:470:10:50

There is a Little Miss Bossy but not a Mr Bossy.

0:10:500:10:53

£400 added to the prize pot.

0:10:530:10:55

Let's see if we can make it 500.

0:10:550:10:58

On the basis that I think I can remember the other four in books,

0:10:580:11:02

I shall go for Mr Nice.

0:11:020:11:04

OK. Is Mr Nice an impossible answer?

0:11:040:11:09

It is. £500 into the prize pot.

0:11:120:11:16

All five impossibles eliminated.

0:11:160:11:18

Mr Nice is the name of Howard Marks' autobiography.

0:11:180:11:21

But will you be playing for that money

0:11:210:11:24

and a shot at the 10,000 question in today's final?

0:11:240:11:28

In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question,

0:11:280:11:31

and now I'm looking for the right answer.

0:11:310:11:34

Find it and a place in the final is yours.

0:11:340:11:37

Give me a wrong answer and the next best player will have a chance

0:11:370:11:41

to steal your place in the final.

0:11:410:11:44

I can reveal that the next best player was your neighbour, Kurtis.

0:11:440:11:49

Let's reveal the full question.

0:11:520:11:55

Which of Roger Hargreaves' Mr Men books is the first in the series?

0:11:550:12:01

It's going to be a total guess, so I shall say Mr Silly.

0:12:030:12:06

Mr Silly? Was Mr Silly the first in the Mr Men series of books?

0:12:060:12:12

It wasn't, I'm afraid, Tracy.

0:12:170:12:19

That's a wrong answer, meaning that, Kurtis, you now have a chance

0:12:190:12:26

to steal Tracy's place.

0:12:260:12:29

I think I'm going to go for Mr Tickle.

0:12:290:12:31

-Mr Tickle.

-Yeah.

0:12:310:12:33

If Mr Tickle is right you will steal Tracy's place in the final,

0:12:330:12:38

the lady that you've become close to over the last two weeks.

0:12:380:12:42

Was Mr Tickle the first in the series of Mr Men books?

0:12:450:12:52

It was.

0:12:550:12:57

Well done.

0:12:570:12:58

Mr Tickle was inspired by Roger Hargreaves' son

0:12:590:13:02

asking him what a tickle would look like. Well done, Kurtis.

0:13:020:13:05

You have nabbed Tracy's place in the final.

0:13:050:13:08

I'm sorry, Tracy. Kurtis, take your place.

0:13:080:13:11

Still two places left in today's final alongside Kurtis.

0:13:170:13:22

Let's find out who's going to be claiming the next one.

0:13:220:13:25

Here's your first question.

0:13:250:13:26

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:13:400:13:42

It's SW1, C.

0:13:430:13:46

A point to all of you who put that.

0:13:460:13:48

OK, let's reveal the impossible answer and hope it isn't W1.

0:13:480:13:52

It's S1, which is in Sheffield,

0:13:550:13:58

so well done everyone for avoiding that.

0:13:580:14:00

Question number two.

0:14:000:14:02

Let's first reveal the right answer.

0:14:200:14:23

It's A, Manet. Points to everyone who went for Manet.

0:14:250:14:30

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:14:300:14:33

It's Magritte.

0:14:360:14:38

Magritte was a Belgian artist.

0:14:380:14:42

It is CARNAGE here.

0:14:420:14:45

We've just lost a load of you.

0:14:450:14:47

Parin...you dodged it!

0:14:470:14:50

Well done. Eight of you, I'm afraid, we're going to have to say goodbye,

0:14:510:14:56

and we'll see you next time.

0:14:560:14:57

So after a brutal question two, let's get on to question three.

0:14:590:15:02

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:15:200:15:23

It's Liz Truss.

0:15:240:15:26

So a point if you went for Truss.

0:15:260:15:29

Parin went out on a limb on the last question,

0:15:290:15:32

this time it's you that has, Anne.

0:15:320:15:35

So why did you go for Karen Bradley?

0:15:350:15:37

Her name rang a vague bell but I'm not sure in what connection.

0:15:370:15:41

OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:15:410:15:44

I'm afraid it's Margaret Hodge, who is a Labour MP.

0:15:490:15:54

It's another massacre.

0:15:540:15:56

We're losing seven of you.

0:15:560:15:58

I'm sorry, we'll see you all next time.

0:15:580:16:01

And Karen Bradley was appointed Culture Secretary in July 2016.

0:16:020:16:07

Well, I'm very relieved and surprised.

0:16:070:16:10

Just six players left to answer question four.

0:16:100:16:14

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:16:290:16:31

It's Father Noel.

0:16:320:16:34

A point to all of you.

0:16:340:16:36

-Joe?

-I knew Dougal was in it

0:16:360:16:39

and I also knew he was played by Ardal O'Hanlon,

0:16:390:16:41

so I thought, "Well, not too sure about the other two

0:16:410:16:44

"so I'll go for the safe bet".

0:16:440:16:45

So you played safe, avoided the impossible.

0:16:450:16:48

-Yep.

-You hope. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:16:480:16:51

It is Father Sean. Good tactics, Jo.

0:16:530:16:56

You all survive. Going into the final question,

0:16:560:16:59

just two of you on four points.

0:16:590:17:03

Question number five.

0:17:030:17:04

Let's see if you're all right, I'm hoping you are.

0:17:190:17:22

Yes, it's A, Windermere.

0:17:230:17:25

A point to all of you.

0:17:250:17:27

Which means that Gerard and Megan are tied on five points.

0:17:270:17:32

Deb, any idea on the impossible answer?

0:17:350:17:38

Rutland Water because it's not a natural lake, it was man-made.

0:17:380:17:44

Let's see if you're right, let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:17:440:17:48

It is Rutland Water for exactly the reason you gave, Deb.

0:17:500:17:53

It's a man-made reservoir.

0:17:530:17:56

Back up to the top, to our leaders.

0:17:570:17:59

I can reveal that the quickest

0:17:590:18:02

to lock in their answers across the round...

0:18:020:18:04

..was Megan!

0:18:070:18:08

APPLAUSE

0:18:080:18:10

Congratulations, Megan.

0:18:100:18:12

You have the chance to grab a place in today's final alongside Kurtis.

0:18:120:18:16

-Megan, well done.

-Thanks.

0:18:200:18:23

First time on the grid.

0:18:230:18:24

Weirdly, you've been in the final, but you stole a place from Paul.

0:18:240:18:28

I know. I'm a wee bit nervous

0:18:280:18:29

cos the topics earlier just really didn't appeal to me.

0:18:290:18:32

-Oh, do they not?

-No.

-I'm sorry about that.

0:18:320:18:35

I know. It's OK, it's not your fault.

0:18:350:18:37

No, it isn't, actually. You're right.

0:18:370:18:39

All right, so you now have the chance to add another £500

0:18:390:18:43

to today's prize pot, which already stands at £500.

0:18:430:18:47

You can also take a huge step

0:18:470:18:49

towards playing the £10,000 question.

0:18:490:18:52

Of the three remaining topics,

0:18:520:18:54

I know none of them particularly appeal,

0:18:540:18:57

but which are you going to go for?

0:18:570:18:59

I don't know, I'm so torn between sport and musical theatre.

0:19:010:19:03

If I choose sport and I get something I like I'll be good,

0:19:030:19:06

but if I get sport and something that my dad and fiance and brother

0:19:060:19:10

would like, I'll be torn to pieces when to go home.

0:19:100:19:13

-So I'm going to go sport.

-OK.

0:19:130:19:15

Sport. This is what's going to happen.

0:19:150:19:20

I'll reveal nine answers.

0:19:200:19:22

They are...

0:19:220:19:23

You had a little giggle there.

0:19:440:19:45

Yeah, because I knew it was football.

0:19:450:19:47

And I knew if I don't get this, I'm going to be completely annihilated.

0:19:470:19:50

OK. So, we're doing this for your fiance and your dad,

0:19:500:19:54

-and all the men you know.

-Yeah, basically.

0:19:540:19:57

And me. My sanity.

0:19:570:19:59

Yes.

0:19:590:20:01

The first half of the question is...

0:20:010:20:03

Five of those answers are impossible

0:20:080:20:11

because they're not Welsh footballers.

0:20:110:20:14

Each impossible answer you eliminate will add £100 to today's prize pot.

0:20:140:20:20

First answer.

0:20:200:20:21

I'm going to go Jonny Evans, cos he's obviously Northern Irish.

0:20:210:20:25

You think he's Northern Irish.

0:20:250:20:27

Is Jonny Evans an impossible answer?

0:20:270:20:29

Yes.

0:20:330:20:34

Yes, it is. Northern Irish.

0:20:360:20:39

You really would've been in trouble if you hadn't got that.

0:20:390:20:41

Steven Davis, he's the captain of Ireland, so...

0:20:410:20:44

You think Steven Davis is the captain of Northern Ireland.

0:20:440:20:47

Definitely not a Welsh footballer.

0:20:470:20:50

Is he an impossible answer?

0:20:500:20:52

Yes, he is.

0:20:550:20:56

Two from two. £200 added to the prize pot.

0:20:580:21:00

Oh. I'm going to go Joe Ledley. I think he might be English.

0:21:000:21:05

-I think.

-OK. Let's get Joe Ledley locked in.

0:21:050:21:08

You think Joe Ledley might be English.

0:21:090:21:13

-Probably wrong now.

-Is Joe Ledley an impossible answer?

0:21:130:21:17

No. He plays for Wales.

0:21:210:21:23

Two more cracks at eliminating some impossibles.

0:21:240:21:29

OK, I'm going to go for Hal Robson-Kanu.

0:21:310:21:33

I actually don't know. This is just complete guesses now.

0:21:330:21:36

OK. Is Hal Robson-Kanu an impossible answer?

0:21:360:21:40

Unfortunately not.

0:21:430:21:45

Also played for Wales at Euro 2016.

0:21:450:21:49

OK. So, one more go.

0:21:490:21:51

I'll go Wes "Hoolio-han".

0:21:510:21:53

"Houlia-han"? Hoolahan?

0:21:530:21:55

-Hoolahan.

-Wes Hoolahan, please.

0:21:550:21:57

Wes Hoolahan.

0:21:570:21:59

Is Wes Hoolahan an impossible answer?

0:22:000:22:02

Yes. Plays for the Republic of Ireland.

0:22:060:22:10

£300 added to the prize pot takes it to £800.

0:22:110:22:16

Now, we need to see if you're going to be playing for that money

0:22:160:22:19

and for a shot of the £10,000 question in today's final.

0:22:190:22:23

When I reveal the second half of the question,

0:22:230:22:25

you need to tell me the right answer.

0:22:250:22:27

If you find it, you go through to the final.

0:22:270:22:30

If you give me a wrong answer, the next best player is your neighbour,

0:22:300:22:33

Gerard, and he will get the chance to steal your place in that final.

0:22:330:22:40

Unfortunately, there are two impossible answers

0:22:400:22:44

remaining on the grid.

0:22:440:22:45

If you give me one of those,

0:22:470:22:49

you will be eliminated from today's show.

0:22:490:22:52

The full question is...

0:22:520:22:54

OK. Um...

0:23:070:23:09

I'm going to go with Joe Ledley.

0:23:110:23:13

-OK. Want to lock Joe Ledley in?

-Yes, please.

0:23:130:23:17

Did Joe Ledley score against Belgium after performing a Cruyff turn?

0:23:180:23:22

-Ah, no!

-He didn't, I'm afraid.

0:23:260:23:28

That is a wrong answer.

0:23:280:23:31

That means we throw to Gerard.

0:23:310:23:34

Gerard. Keen football fan?

0:23:340:23:38

No, I have to say. Um...

0:23:380:23:42

Just to remind you, Gerard, if you give an impossible answer yourself,

0:23:420:23:45

that will eliminate you from today's show.

0:23:450:23:47

Yeah. But I do know that this guy plays for Wales,

0:23:470:23:52

and used to play for Reading.

0:23:520:23:54

So, I'm going to say Hal Robson-Kanu.

0:23:540:23:56

OK.

0:23:560:23:57

Is Hal Robson-Kanu the right answer?

0:23:590:24:02

It is.

0:24:050:24:08

I'm sorry, Megan.

0:24:080:24:10

Well done, Gerard.

0:24:100:24:11

You've nabbed Megan's place in the final.

0:24:110:24:14

The impossibles that you missed...

0:24:140:24:16

Shane Long plays for Republic of Ireland,

0:24:160:24:19

and Nathaniel Clyne, who's English. Bad luck, Megan.

0:24:190:24:23

You are back in the pack for the next round.

0:24:230:24:25

But, Gerard, you're going through to today's final.

0:24:250:24:28

So, just one place left in today's final alongside Curtis and Gerard.

0:24:340:24:40

Let's see who it's going to be. Only five surviving now.

0:24:400:24:43

If at any point we have only one player left,

0:24:430:24:46

they will automatically win the round.

0:24:460:24:49

Here are your five multiple-choice questions, starting with...

0:24:490:24:53

Four of you have gone for Tasmania.

0:25:050:25:07

Just Megan has gone for Queensland.

0:25:070:25:10

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:25:100:25:12

It is Tasmania.

0:25:140:25:15

A point to you four.

0:25:150:25:17

Megan, you're hoping you haven't given the impossible answer.

0:25:170:25:20

What do you reckon?

0:25:200:25:21

I'm not too sure. I don't think it is.

0:25:210:25:23

I've got an auntie lives in Queensland

0:25:230:25:26

and whenever you send her mail, it says QLD,

0:25:260:25:29

but I've don't know whether that means it's a state or not.

0:25:290:25:32

Let's find out. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:25:320:25:34

It's Ontario.

0:25:370:25:38

Ontario is a Canadian province.

0:25:380:25:41

So, you escape.

0:25:410:25:43

Question number two.

0:25:430:25:45

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:26:000:26:03

It's A, Spandau Ballet.

0:26:040:26:06

A point to you four.

0:26:060:26:08

Deb, you went for Dire Straits.

0:26:080:26:11

Do you think you've given the impossible answer?

0:26:110:26:15

I hope not.

0:26:150:26:16

Something at the back of my mind is screaming at me

0:26:160:26:19

that the Thompson Twins might have been male and female.

0:26:190:26:23

I don't know. I'm just hoping not.

0:26:230:26:25

OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:26:250:26:29

It's Thompson Twins, who were three members but they were all unrelated.

0:26:320:26:39

So you've escaped unscathed, Deb.

0:26:390:26:41

The brothers in Spandau Ballet are Martin and Gary Kemp.

0:26:410:26:44

The brothers in Dire Straits, Mark and David Knopfler.

0:26:440:26:48

So, all five of you go on to question three.

0:26:480:26:51

Is it...?

0:26:580:27:00

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:27:070:27:09

It's Leyden, meaning Richie and Anne get a point.

0:27:110:27:16

Deb, Jo and Megan...

0:27:160:27:19

you're hoping that you've avoided the impossible answer.

0:27:190:27:22

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:27:220:27:25

It's Appenzeller.

0:27:290:27:31

Which is a Swiss cheese.

0:27:320:27:34

I'm sorry, Deb, Jo and Megan, you're out for today.

0:27:340:27:40

We'll see you next time.

0:27:400:27:41

That means it's a head-to-head.

0:27:420:27:45

The head-to-head we've all been waiting for.

0:27:450:27:47

Richie versus Anne, both on three points.

0:27:470:27:53

Question number four.

0:27:530:27:55

Is it...?

0:28:040:28:06

You've both gone for Jupiter.

0:28:110:28:13

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:28:130:28:16

It is A, Jupiter.

0:28:170:28:19

A point to Anne and a point to Richie.

0:28:190:28:22

We can't separate you going into the final question.

0:28:220:28:26

The impossible answer there was...

0:28:260:28:29

Earth. Holst didn't write a piece for Earth.

0:28:310:28:35

The final question, question five.

0:28:350:28:37

You haven't gone for the same answer.

0:28:560:28:58

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:29:000:29:03

B, Botticelli.

0:29:070:29:08

Neither of you went for the impossible answer.

0:29:090:29:13

Whoever has given...

0:29:130:29:15

the right answer will be the winner of this round

0:29:150:29:19

and will have a chance to grab a place into today's final

0:29:190:29:23

alongside Curtis and Gerard.

0:29:230:29:25

Richie, you must have been annoyed

0:29:250:29:26

thinking the question was going to play into Anne's hands.

0:29:260:29:29

OK.

0:29:340:29:35

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:29:350:29:38

It's C, Michelangelo, which means a point to Richie.

0:29:410:29:47

Unlucky, Anne.

0:29:470:29:48

Richie, you are the winner,

0:29:480:29:50

you have the chance to grab the last place in today's final.

0:29:500:29:53

How are you doing after that, Richie?

0:29:570:29:59

That was nerve-racking. You've no way of knowing, really,

0:29:590:30:02

but I guessed nearly every question there.

0:30:020:30:04

Dutch cheeses and stuff, I was waiting for Edam coming out.

0:30:040:30:06

When it didn't, just went for them, so I was very lucky.

0:30:060:30:10

You are now in a position

0:30:100:30:12

where you can add another £500 to today's prize pot,

0:30:120:30:15

which already stands at £800,

0:30:150:30:18

and be a step closer towards playing the £10,000 question.

0:30:180:30:23

Of the remaining topics, you've got musical theatre and politics.

0:30:230:30:28

Which would you like to go for?

0:30:280:30:30

Well, I know Andrew would go for the musical theatre,

0:30:300:30:33

but it's not my cup of tea, so it'll have to be politics.

0:30:330:30:36

I imagine if Andrew is watching at home,

0:30:360:30:39

he'd love to see musical theatre.

0:30:390:30:41

-He would.

-So politics it is.

0:30:410:30:44

I'm going to reveal nine answers and they are...

0:30:460:30:50

And the first half of the question...

0:31:060:31:08

Five of those are impossible, they couldn't possibly be the answer

0:31:130:31:17

-because they weren't Conservative Prime Ministers.

-Right.

0:31:170:31:21

Each impossible answer you eliminate will add £100 to today's prize pot.

0:31:210:31:26

Where would you like to start?

0:31:260:31:28

I'm pretty sure Harold Macmillan was Labour,

0:31:280:31:31

or that might have been Harold Wilson,

0:31:310:31:33

but I think maybe they had two Harolds,

0:31:330:31:35

so I'll go Harold Macmillan.

0:31:350:31:36

Is Harold Macmillan an impossible answer?

0:31:370:31:40

I'm afraid not, he was a Conservative Prime Minister.

0:31:430:31:46

-It's not a great start, Richie.

-No, it's not the best.

0:31:460:31:49

OK, I'll try Clement Attlee. I'm pretty sure he was Labour.

0:31:500:31:53

Was Clement Attlee Labour?

0:31:540:31:57

Is Clement Attlee an impossible answer?

0:31:570:31:59

Yes, he was Labour.

0:32:030:32:05

-We're in business.

-Right.

-£100 added to the prize pot.

0:32:050:32:09

OK. I've never heard of Selwyn Lloyd in my life.

0:32:090:32:12

Sounds Welsh.

0:32:130:32:14

I'll just go for him.

0:32:150:32:16

You've never heard of him

0:32:180:32:19

but you're hoping he was never a Conservative Prime Minister.

0:32:190:32:23

Is Selwyn Lloyd an impossible answer?

0:32:230:32:25

He is.

0:32:290:32:31

Another £100 in the prize pot.

0:32:310:32:33

He was Conservative

0:32:330:32:35

but he was never Prime Minister or leader of the party.

0:32:350:32:37

I mean, I've heard of all these chaps.

0:32:380:32:41

-Good.

-I think they all had the top job,

0:32:410:32:43

but I just don't know which parties they were.

0:32:430:32:46

I'll go for Ramsay MacDonald.

0:32:460:32:48

Is Ramsay MacDonald an impossible answer?

0:32:490:32:52

It is.

0:32:560:32:58

Much better now. £300 went into the prize pot.

0:32:580:33:01

Ramsay MacDonald was the first Labour Prime Minister.

0:33:010:33:04

One more attempt to eliminate one more impossible answer.

0:33:040:33:07

Right. You might as well give me a dart that I can throw out that,

0:33:070:33:10

-because that's all I'm doing.

-Yep, sure, yep.

0:33:100:33:12

I'll go Stanley Baldwin.

0:33:120:33:13

Stanley Baldwin. Let's lock that in.

0:33:140:33:17

Is Stanley Baldwin an impossible answer?

0:33:180:33:22

I'm afraid not.

0:33:260:33:28

So you've added £300 to the prize fund, which now stands at £1,100.

0:33:280:33:34

But are you going to be playing for that money

0:33:340:33:37

and the shot at the £10,000 question in today's final?

0:33:370:33:40

You need to give me the right answer

0:33:400:33:42

when I reveal the second half of the question.

0:33:420:33:45

Now remember, the next best player from that round,

0:33:450:33:48

of course you remember this,

0:33:480:33:49

was Anne and she is waiting to steal your place in the final

0:33:490:33:54

if you give a wrong answer.

0:33:540:33:56

There are two impossibles left up on the grid.

0:33:560:33:59

-If you give me either of those, you will be eliminated.

-OK.

0:33:590:34:03

The full question is...

0:34:030:34:05

And I'm looking for the right answer.

0:34:140:34:16

I was kind of hoping that would be the question,

0:34:160:34:19

because I think it's Anthony Eden.

0:34:190:34:21

Want to lock in Anthony Eden?

0:34:210:34:24

-Yes, please.

-OK.

0:34:240:34:26

Let's get that locked. If Anthony Eden is the right answer,

0:34:260:34:31

you take your place in the final.

0:34:310:34:33

Is Anthony Eden the right answer?

0:34:330:34:36

It is!

0:34:400:34:41

Congratulations!

0:34:420:34:44

Well done, Richie. You've grabbed the last place in today's final.

0:34:440:34:48

-Thank you.

-The two impossibles that you missed were both liberals,

0:34:480:34:52

Herbert Asquith and David Lloyd George.

0:34:520:34:56

Well done, though. You've grabbed the last place in today's final.

0:34:560:34:59

Thank you.

0:34:590:35:00

For the rest of you, I'm afraid that today,

0:35:050:35:07

victory proved impossible but we will see you next time.

0:35:070:35:11

But for Kurtis, Gerard and Richie, it's time for the final.

0:35:120:35:16

So there is £1,100 in today's prize pot.

0:35:220:35:26

Only one of you can win that money

0:35:260:35:28

and get the chance to face the £10,000 question.

0:35:280:35:32

You're each going to start with ten lives.

0:35:320:35:35

Questions are on the buzzer.

0:35:350:35:37

Buzz and get one right and you knock a life off both of your opponents.

0:35:370:35:41

Buzz and get one wrong, you lose one of your own lives.

0:35:410:35:45

However, some of the questions are impossible,

0:35:450:35:48

that is to say there is no answer, the question makes no sense,

0:35:480:35:52

it's illogical. If you think you've spotted one of these,

0:35:520:35:55

all you have to do is buzz in and say, "Impossible".

0:35:550:35:59

And that will mean double trouble for your opponents

0:35:590:36:01

as they'll both lose two lives.

0:36:010:36:04

If you say a question is impossible when it isn't,

0:36:040:36:06

or give any other answer to an impossible question,

0:36:060:36:10

it's you who'll be losing the two lives, so do, please, be careful.

0:36:100:36:17

The last surviving player will take the £1,100.

0:36:170:36:21

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:36:230:36:25

Good luck to you all.

0:36:250:36:27

Which of Princess Anne's children

0:36:270:36:30

0:36:300:36:33

-Gerard.

-Peter Phillips.

-It is Peter Phillips.

0:36:330:36:37

A life off Curtis and Richie.

0:36:370:36:38

An image of which English composer

0:36:400:36:43

has appeared on the back of a £20 note?

0:36:430:36:47

-Gerard.

-Elgar.

0:36:470:36:50

In the 1989 film When Harry Met Sally,

0:36:510:36:55

who stars as Harry...

0:36:550:36:57

-Richie.

-Billy Crystal.

0:36:570:36:59

..Opposite Meg Ryan's Sally? It is Billy Crystal.

0:36:590:37:02

On which Scottish island are the whiskies Laphroaig and...?

0:37:030:37:08

-Impossible.

-..and Lagavulin produced?

0:37:100:37:13

They are produced on Islay. It's not impossible.

0:37:130:37:16

Richie, you lose two lives.

0:37:160:37:19

Which other fruit is an anagram of the word lemon?

0:37:210:37:25

-Richie.

-Melon.

-It is melon.

0:37:260:37:28

Gerard, you lose a life. Kurtis, you lose a life.

0:37:280:37:31

Be nice to hear from you, Kurtis.

0:37:310:37:33

-It would.

-In which borough of New York City

0:37:330:37:36

are the headquarters of the US Department of Defense,

0:37:360:37:39

known as the Pentagon?

0:37:390:37:41

-Richie.

-Impossible?

-It is impossible.

0:37:410:37:44

The Pentagon is in Arlington County, Virginia.

0:37:440:37:47

Friesian and Aberdeen Angus...?

0:37:490:37:51

-Richie.

-Cow.

-..are breeds of which farm animal?

0:37:510:37:54

Cattle, but I will accept cow.

0:37:540:37:56

A life from Kurtis and Gerard.

0:37:560:37:58

On which BBC TV channel

0:38:010:38:02

is Gardeners' Question Time regularly...?

0:38:020:38:05

-Richie.

-Impossible.

-It is impossible.

0:38:050:38:08

It's a radio show on Radio 4.

0:38:080:38:10

Meaning, Kurtis, you're down on one life.

0:38:100:38:12

Gerard, you're on three. Richie on six.

0:38:120:38:15

Which children's book of 1863 was written by Charles Kingsley?

0:38:150:38:20

-Gerard.

-The Water Babies.

0:38:220:38:24

It is The Water Babies. Richie, you lose a life.

0:38:240:38:27

Kurtis, you lose your last life.

0:38:270:38:29

I'm afraid you're eliminated.

0:38:290:38:31

In which English county is Sherwood Forest?

0:38:320:38:36

-Richie.

-Nottinghamshire.

-It is Nottinghamshire.

0:38:360:38:39

Which party won an overall majority in the 2013 UK general election?

0:38:410:38:48

-Richie.

-Impossible?

0:38:480:38:50

It is impossible.

0:38:500:38:51

There wasn't a general election in that year.

0:38:510:38:53

Gerard, you lose your final two lives.

0:38:530:38:56

Commiserations to Kurtis and Gerard.

0:38:560:38:59

We'll see you next time - but congratulations to Richie,

0:38:590:39:02

you're the winner.

0:39:020:39:04

Very well done, Richie.

0:39:040:39:06

It's time to face the £10,000 question.

0:39:060:39:09

Richie, you are today's winner with £1,100.

0:39:140:39:19

That's great, but you could be leaving

0:39:190:39:22

with a whole lot more if you can answer the £10,000 question.

0:39:220:39:26

Who's going to be watching you at home the moment?

0:39:260:39:28

Probably my girlfriend.

0:39:280:39:29

-What's your girlfriend's name?

-Susanna.

-OK.

0:39:290:39:32

Let's see if we can do Susanna proud here.

0:39:320:39:34

This is how it works.

0:39:340:39:36

I'm going to show you nine answers and then ask you a question.

0:39:360:39:39

Three of the nine answers are correct.

0:39:390:39:42

If you can find them all within 10 seconds, you win that £10,000.

0:39:420:39:47

That's the good news.

0:39:470:39:48

The less good news is that three of those answers are wrong.

0:39:480:39:52

Pick any of those and you won't win the £10,000.

0:39:520:39:56

The bad news is that three of the nine answers are impossible.

0:39:560:40:00

If you give me any of those answers, you will lose the £1,100 as well.

0:40:000:40:06

I can only accept the first three answers you give,

0:40:060:40:10

so please be careful. OK.

0:40:100:40:13

Here it is. Today's £10,000 question.

0:40:130:40:16

I hope it's a good one for you.

0:40:160:40:19

It's on television.

0:40:190:40:21

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

0:40:210:40:23

First crack at the £10,000 question.

0:40:230:40:25

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

0:40:250:40:26

Here are your nine answers.

0:40:260:40:28

And you're looking for...

0:40:440:40:45

And your time starts...now.

0:40:520:40:54

Ian Beale.

0:40:540:40:56

Den Watts.

0:40:570:40:58

Pauline Fowler.

0:41:010:41:02

Just about locked those in in time, Richie.

0:41:050:41:08

-Do you watch EastEnders?

-No.

0:41:080:41:10

Fairly confident they're all in it, I think.

0:41:100:41:13

Well, we'll come to them, but I'm not confident that...

0:41:130:41:16

I never saw the first episode, anyway.

0:41:160:41:18

OK. Did Ian Beale appear in the show's first ever episode?

0:41:190:41:25

Is Ian Beale a right answer?

0:41:250:41:28

Yes, it is.

0:41:330:41:34

And, yes, he did.

0:41:340:41:36

One step closer to that £10,000.

0:41:390:41:43

You then said Den Watts.

0:41:430:41:45

Is Den Watts a right answer?

0:41:470:41:49

It is.

0:41:560:41:58

You're now just one right answer away

0:42:010:42:04

from unleashing all of that money.

0:42:040:42:07

-How are you feeling?

-Eh...

0:42:080:42:10

Apprehensive. I'm wishing I'd gone for Frank Butcher now,

0:42:120:42:15

but I think it's a bit late to change.

0:42:150:42:18

I think it is too.

0:42:180:42:20

If Pauline Fowler is right...

0:42:220:42:25

you win £10,000.

0:42:250:42:27

Is Pauline Fowler the right answer?

0:42:290:42:33

Yes!

0:42:390:42:40

Come here. Get over to your money.

0:42:480:42:50

All yours, Richie.

0:42:520:42:54

10,000 pound coins.

0:42:540:42:56

Scoop it up, do what you like with it.

0:42:580:43:00

I'm going to have fun with it.

0:43:000:43:03

Richie, you are going to leave the show with £10,000.

0:43:030:43:07

The impossible answers that you cleverly missed

0:43:070:43:11

were Barry Grant from Brookside, Nick Tilsley from Coronation Street

0:43:110:43:15

and Kim Tate from Emmerdale.

0:43:150:43:16

You don't really care about that, do you?

0:43:160:43:18

Because you're leaving the show with £10,000.

0:43:180:43:21

This has been !mpossible, the quiz where anything is possible.

0:43:210:43:24

See you next time. Goodbye.
