0:00:02 > 0:00:04I'm Rick Edwards, and this is Impossible.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08# Impossible
0:00:10 > 0:00:11# Impossible
0:00:11 > 0:00:12# Impossible! #
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Welcome to Impossible, the quiz with the third dimension.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19but here we also have impossible answers.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23They're not just wrong - they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26It's a new week and indeed a new fortnight,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29which means we have 24 brand-new players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30- Hello, players! ALL:- Hello!
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Like 'em already! We'll be getting to know them over the next two weeks
0:00:34 > 0:00:38and every day, one of them will have the chance to unlock...this.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- ALL:- Ooh!- Wow.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43I heard a "wow". Our enormous exclamation mark
0:00:43 > 0:00:46is filled with 10,000 shimmering pound coins.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47At the end of each show,
0:00:47 > 0:00:51one of this terrific two dozen will face the final question.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And here...
0:00:54 > 0:00:55..it is.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Today's £10,000 question.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Get this right and all of that cash will come flooding out.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So, new group.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I'm very excited. Kate, are you excited?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- I'm very excited! - What do you do in your life, Kate,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10when you're not sort of on a quiz show?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I've just had a baby boy called James, who's five months old.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Oh, very nice.- So I'm having a year break and eating lots of cake
0:01:16 > 0:01:18and going out with mums and stuff like that.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I noticed immediately you've got lovely different-coloured eyes.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Yeah, I have. It's called heterochromia.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I was going to say that. And I was going to give myself a point.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27- Sorry!- That's OK!
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Said.- Hello.- How are you feeling? - I'm good, thanks.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- What you do in your spare time, Said?- Gosh, well,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I'm going through a creative streak at the moment.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Oh, yeah?- I've taken up life drawing as well as doing some pottery.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43OK. And if you were to... I assume you've had a look at the money.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- I have.- If you were to get your hands on that,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Said, what would it go on? - It would actually go towards a trip
0:01:49 > 0:01:51to visit my grandparents in Mauritius.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Oh, lovely.- Yeah. I've not seen my grandmother in quite a while.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56So I kind of would want to plan
0:01:56 > 0:01:59a little surprise trip and go and surprise her.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- OK. JT, how are you up there? - Good, thank you.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03It's a bit of a view.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- It is a bit of view, but it's a good view, isn't it, JT?- Absolutely.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Settling in on the top row? - Yeah, good bunch of people.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11What would you spend the money on, JT?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I want to go to America and go storm-chasing, would you believe?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Why storm chasing?- Well, I'm a bit of a roller-coaster buff.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I've just done some gliding. It's that risk factor I need.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Yeah! I need a bit of a buzz. I'm getting old now.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Yeah, OK, OK. Is your favourite film Twister?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26No... Do you know, that was such a load of old rubbish!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28We're going to fall out now, JT! I LOVE Twister!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- It was great, Rick, I loved it. - Much better, JT!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33OK, good luck to everyone. Let's crack on.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35You will face five multiple-choice questions,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37each with three answers.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40The right answer gets you a point, the wrong answer gets you nothing.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42But if you choose the impossible answer...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Nightmare. You're immediately knocked out
0:02:45 > 0:02:48of today's show and you'll have to try again tomorrow.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52After five questions, the highest-scorer gets the first chance
0:02:52 > 0:02:54to bag a place in today's final.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Are you ready? ALL:- Yes!
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Here's your first question.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13So we've already split the pack.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15We have all the answers out there,
0:03:15 > 0:03:16which means, unfortunately, some of
0:03:16 > 0:03:18you have given an impossible answer.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Let's first of all have a look at the right answer.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23It's C, mohair.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Not that many of you going for that, but a point to all of you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Stewart, you went for Terylene.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Yeah, I went for the panic press.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Ah.- I was going to go cashmere, went for the panic press and
0:03:35 > 0:03:38realised it's definitely impossible. It couldn't be a natural fibre.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40So...good start(!)
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Well... Rachel, you also went for Terylene.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Yeah, I also just guessed.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47And I'm now thinking I might be wrong.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Mm, you might be. You might be more than wrong.- Yeah.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:03:52 > 0:03:58It's Terylene, I'm afraid, which means, Rachel and Stewart,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00we have to say goodbye now.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04But we'll see you both tomorrow. Terylene is a man-made fibre.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Cashmere comes from Kashmiri goats.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Moving on to question two.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29The right answer you were looking for...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32is B, Empire Windrush, so a point to all of you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33The impossible answer...
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Puffing Billy was a famous locomotive, but not a ship.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Question three.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56The overwhelming majority have gone with A...
0:04:57 > 0:05:01..but we do have one hectogram and one seismograph.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Let's see if the majority are correct.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04They are.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06A point to all of you who put A.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Holly, you went for hectogram.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Yeah. The really embarrassing thing is, I have a pilot's licence
0:05:14 > 0:05:16and I covered this in ground school.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And I knew it was actually barometer!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Did you cover it well enough, Holly?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23George? You went for seismograph.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26To be honest, I immediately thought B wasn't the correct answer.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I thought that may be the impossible answer.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29As soon as I pressed C...
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Hurtful for Holly.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Yeah, cheers, George(!)- Sorry.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34As soon as I pressed C, I regretted it.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Well, one of you has given the impossible answer,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40which was...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43..hectogram, Holly.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Hectogram is 100g.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Oh, yeah.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well, I've learned something now!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53You have, and you'll be safer in the air now, Holly!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- I might be!- We'll see you tomorrow.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57George, a lucky escape.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00A seismograph measures earthquakes.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03So the kind of thing that JT would probably like.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Question number four.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24All answers out there, most of you have gone with C, Roberto Baggio.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Let's see if there is wisdom in crowds.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31There is. C is the right answer. You all get a point.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Pam and Pat.- Yes?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Our twins.- Yes.- How are you? - We're very well, thank you.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Yes, good.- Now, you've gone with different answers.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Have we?- You have, actually.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42So one of us is out, then.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44One of you is out, I'm afraid.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- You think it's you, do you, Pat?- I know it's me, yeah!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Do you?- The panic press.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Not a fan of former Italian football players, Pat?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Not a fan of football. I know that's probably not very PC to say now.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Oh, I think it's OK on the PC side, actually, Pat.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Good, good. Pam, are you a fan?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Are you feeling all right?- No, no, I want you to tell me the answer now.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Oh, do you? Sorry, yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07"Cut the chat, Rick, just tell me if I'm out or not!"
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I've got fingers crossed here.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12OK. One of you has given the impossible answer.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14The impossible answer is...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Oh, darn it! It's B, Bergoglio.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- It is a bit "darn it", I'm afraid, Pat.- Isn't it just?- Yeah.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24That was the birth name of Pope Francis.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Was it really?- It was, Pat, I wouldn't lie to you.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30There you go, yes. So we're going to have to say goodbye to you and Jamie
0:07:30 > 0:07:32and Said and Carolynne and Kate.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- We'll see you all tomorrow.- Right.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39So after four questions, we're down to 16 players.
0:07:39 > 0:07:45And just two of you are on four points, and they are Sam and Brett.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50So this might well come down to who gets those fingers working quickest.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Question number five.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11All answers out there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Let's see who we're going to be saying goodbye to.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16The impossible answer...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20C, Suffolk Punch,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23which is a breed of horse.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26So Emily, Jinesh and Kerry, we'll see you all tomorrow.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Sam and Brett, you've gone for different answers...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35..which means we have got an outright winner.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Brett, you went for Sussex Pond Pudding.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I did. There's no logic behind that, I didn't know the answer.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I almost went for C, in all honesty, but I went for A.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- No idea.- Any idea, Sam?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Yeah.- You went for B. - Sussex Pond's got a lemon in.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51So, the right answer...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55..is B, Bedfordshire Clanger.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57As you said, Sam. Sussex Pond Pudding
0:08:57 > 0:09:01is a suet dessert with a whole lemon in the middle.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03So everyone gets a point who went for B,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and that means, at the end of the round,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07only one person on five points,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10that is Sam. Congratulations.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You have the first chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Fantastic.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Very well done, Sam. How do you feel?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Thank you. That was a big relief to be here.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23So we're going to do this - we're going to get through this grid.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Hope so.- What would be a good subject area for you?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27What are your specialities?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I like film and TV.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- OK.- I watch a lot of films, and sitcoms I'm really into, as well.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35OK. And what do you do with your life, Sam?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I run a mobile marketing business,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39which basically means we promote businesses on mobile phones,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41help them with their social media,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- provide free Wi-Fi for their customers, things like that.- OK.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48This is your chance to put up to £500 into the daily prize pot.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- OK.- And, crucially, take a massive step towards playing
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- the £10,000 question. - Looks good, doesn't it?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'm going to give you a choice of four topics.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Here they are.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Oh. That's not as hard as I thought.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- No telly.- Because there's a few bad ones there.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I'm not amazing at geography, but I'll go for that one.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- OK.- It's the best of a bad lot for me.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15All right. I'm going to reveal nine answers.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Here they are.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- Any early thoughts, Sam?- India or Pakistan, but this is worrying.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34OK. Let's see if I can make you worry less
0:10:34 > 0:10:38by offering up the first half of the question, which is,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40which Indian city...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Narrowed it down.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44So, five of those answers are impossible.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49So your first job is to find those and then banish them.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50You'll have five goes,
0:10:50 > 0:10:55- and each impossible answer you successfully eliminate will add £100 to the daily prize pot.- OK.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Where would you like to start? - I'll start with Karachi.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Is Karachi an impossible answer?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06It is. Well done.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08We're off. £100 in the prize pot.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Where next?- Lahore.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Any idea where Lahore is?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Think that's also Pakistan.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Is Lahore an impossible answer?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22It is. And it is in Pakistan, as you said.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I think Rawalpindi's also in Pakistan.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Is Rawalpindi an impossible answer?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30It is.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Smashing this, Sam.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Not 100% on Faisalabad, but I'll go for that one.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40OK. Is Faisalabad an impossible answer?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Not made up. In Pakistan.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50So, Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I think Bangalore. I think they're the Indian ones.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54So I think Peshawar isn't.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55OK.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Is Peshawar an impossible answer, for a maximum five from five?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03It is.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Very nice work, Sam.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09£500 in the prize pot. We now need to establish whether
0:12:09 > 0:12:11you're going to be playing for the money
0:12:11 > 0:12:14and for a shot at the £10,000 question in today's final.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So, in a moment, I'll reveal the second half of the question,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19and I'll obviously be looking for the right answer.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- OK.- Find it, and a place in the final is yours.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Give me a wrong answer, and the next best player will have
0:12:25 > 0:12:28the chance to steal your place in the final.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I can reveal that that was Brett.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Stand by, Brett.- OK, good luck, Sam.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36How's your Indian geography, Brett?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It's not good. No, I would have struggled to get to this point,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- to be honest.- OK. You are in a very strong position,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44because you got rid of all the impossible answers,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46so nothing left to trip you up.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Let's reveal the full question.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Which Indian city...
0:12:51 > 0:12:53..is the furthest south?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Oh, dear.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59I'm not very good on where they are.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I'll give Bangalore a go.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I just don't know where they are.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06OK. If Bangalore is the right answer, you're in the final, Sam.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Is Bangalore the furthest south of those cities?
0:13:11 > 0:13:12It is!
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Well done, Sam.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17You are through to the final!
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Thank you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27So, still two places left in today's final alongside Sam.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Let's find out who's going to be claiming the next one.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33There's 12 of you left, which means we are half wheat and half chaff.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Good luck, everyone. Here's your first question.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Most of you have gone with A, Carol Ann Duffy.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56We have got a few Benjamin Zephaniahs.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Josh, you went with Benjamin Zephaniah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- I did, yeah.- With confidence, Josh?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- No, not with confidence. - I know A is a poet,
0:14:03 > 0:14:04and I'm hoping C is not a poet.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08So I went off piste, went with B.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Jennifer, you are kind of on piste with the group,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- with Carol Ann Duffy. - Yeah. I thought C was probably a bit
0:14:14 > 0:14:19of an unfortunate naming coincidence, if it is a poet.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23So I just went... Yeah, just chose A as kind of random.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27OK. Let's see what the right answer is.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32It's B, Benjamin Zephaniah.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Which means just three of you get a point there.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36The impossible answer...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42C, Bernard Matthews was a turkey farmer
0:14:42 > 0:14:44and, as far as we know, NOT a poet.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Certainly not published.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Question number two.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Pretty even split between As and Cs.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04The right answer...
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's A, the Sharks, so a point to all of you who went for that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11OK, let's see what the impossible answer is.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17The Flames do not feature in West Side Story.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Question number three.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Dan, you've plonked for Chris O'Dowd.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Feeling good?- No.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42- No.- I'm not.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I'm not. I took a risk. Er...
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Have you seen the film or the TV show?
0:15:49 > 0:15:50- Neither.- Good.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Yeah, I know!- George.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Never seen the TV show, never seen the film.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I just went straight down the middle.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Yeah.- Fingers crossed.- Jackie,
0:16:00 > 0:16:01have you seen the TV show or the film?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03No, neither, I've seen...
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Great!- I've seen snippets of IT Crowd.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08And a vague recollection that it's Richard Ayoade.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12OK, well, one of you has given the impossible answer.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Let's find out who it is.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20B, David Mitchell, not in The IT Crowd, I'm afraid.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23George and Derek, we'll see you both tomorrow.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Thanks.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27And the right answer...
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Yes, Jackie. It was C, Richard Ayoade,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34which means all of you get a point.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Question number four.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Jennifer, you've gone with B, David Copperfield.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Yeah. Again, wasn't sure on this one, but I'm sure Bleak House
0:17:01 > 0:17:04isn't a Charles Dickens novel, so I just went...
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Oh, no!
0:17:06 > 0:17:10JT has given you a bit of a look because he HAS gone for Bleak House!
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Yeah, so I've gone for B, David Copperfield,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- and probably shouldn't have, eh, JT?- No, I haven't got a clue.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I just thought Bleak House sounded...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Dying of human combustion's bleak, so I thought,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- what the hell? - Well, the right answer...
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Oh, no!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27..is A, Bleak House.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28So a point to everyone
0:17:28 > 0:17:30who went for Bleak House -
0:17:30 > 0:17:34is a Dickens novel, does feature spontaneous human combustion.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So let's check that the remainder of you who went for B,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39David Copperfield, have avoided the impossible answer.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45You have. The impossible answer is The Return Of The Native,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47which is by Thomas Hardy.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51So only ten players left in after those first four questions.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55And four of you are on three points,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59and they are the four Js - JT, Josh, Jackie and Jenny.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Question number five.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Pat, why did you go for B?
0:18:18 > 0:18:19I know he's a magician.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24OK. Mike, you, like everyone else, has gone with C, Dynamo.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Well, I knew the Great Soprendo was married to Victoria Wood.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28It was Geoffrey Durham.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32And I've followed Dynamo's career since he was a young lad.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Oh, so you're a Dynamo fan.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I am, yeah.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38OK. Let's first see what the impossible answer was.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45A, Rey Mysterio. So you've all successfully avoided that.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Rey Mysterio is a pro wrestler.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49And the correct answer...
0:18:51 > 0:18:53..is C, Dynamo,
0:18:53 > 0:18:54so a point to all of you.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Pat, you live to fight another day.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- I'm still here, yeah.- You are still here.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Mike, you are bang on. The Great Soprendo is Geoffrey Durham,
0:19:01 > 0:19:02who was married to Victoria Wood.
0:19:02 > 0:19:08So all four Js, who were on three, are now on four points.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09So it comes down to who's locked in
0:19:09 > 0:19:13their answers the quickest across the round. And that was...
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Josh.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15APPLAUSE
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Congratulations, Josh.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20You have the chance to grab the second place
0:19:20 > 0:19:22in today's final, alongside Sam.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28- Here we are, Josh.- Here we are.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- How does it feel?- It's good. - It does feel good, doesn't it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:32It's a long way from the top row.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you've made it all the way down here.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Yes.- Well done.- Thank you.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- What do you do, Josh?- I'm a doctor.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39- OK.- Yeah.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40I work in a hospital in Harrogate.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43OK. And what you do in your spare time?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I'm a big film fan. A big film buff.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48So film would be good for you?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Film would be... I saw what was up the last time
0:19:51 > 0:19:53and nothing too enticing,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- but we'll see.- No, no. Of those, let's bring them back up again.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Radio, food and drink, and musical theatre. Which tickles you?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- I'm going to risk it. I'm going to go for radio.- Going to go for radio.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Yeah, which is risky. - And hope that it's...
0:20:06 > 0:20:09It's one of the two things I probably know about.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11All right. OK, well, fingers crossed.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Here we go.- Here are the nine answers on radio.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I think this could be one of the two things that I may know
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- a little bit about.- A-ha! Yeah, I saw your eyes light up, Josh.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Yeah.- Let's see if they light up a bit more
0:20:32 > 0:20:34when you see the first half of the question.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Which host of BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs...
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Positively beaming, Josh. Well. - I mean, it's all based on a
0:20:41 > 0:20:42little bit of very, like...
0:20:42 > 0:20:46little bit of knowledge, so we'll see what happens.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Right. Well, we know that five of those answers are impossible.- Yeah.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Because they are not hosts of Desert Island Discs.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Where would you like to start?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55I'd like to knock out Michael Aspel.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Michael Aspel, OK.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Is Michael Aspel an impossible answer?
0:21:02 > 0:21:03He is!
0:21:03 > 0:21:04APPLAUSE
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Where next?- I'd next like to go for Kirsty Wark.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Kirsty Wark.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Yes. She presents Newsnight.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Where would you like to go next?- I'd like to go for Valerie Singleton.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Valerie Singleton.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Is she an impossible answer?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yes!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29She used to present Blue Peter.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32OK. I don't think David Dimbleby did it
0:21:32 > 0:21:34but, I mean, I could be wrong.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Is David Dimbleby an impossible answer?
0:21:40 > 0:21:41It is.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Presents Question Time.- Yeah.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46One more go. Let's get rid of that last impossible.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Let's, uh...let's knock out Peter Snow, please.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Peter Snow.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Is Peter Snow an impossible answer?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Yes!
0:21:56 > 0:21:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:57 > 0:22:00He's the guy who does the swingometer on election night.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Oh, right!
0:22:01 > 0:22:04But hasn't presented Desert Island Discs, crucially.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09So, £500 added to the prize pot, now stands at £1,000.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Very, very strong work, Josh.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14But are you going to be playing for that money and a shot
0:22:14 > 0:22:16at the £10,000 question in today's final?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26If you can find it, a place in the final alongside Sam is yours.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28If you give me a wrong answer, the next best player
0:22:28 > 0:22:31will have the chance to steal your place in the final,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33and I can reveal that
0:22:33 > 0:22:35that was JT!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- There he is.- Good luck, Josh. - Thanks, mate.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40So, let's reveal the full question.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Which host of BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs
0:22:44 > 0:22:49presented the show between 1988 and 2006?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I will go for Sue Lawley.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Reasonably confident?- No.- No.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I'd say 50-50.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00If Sue Lawley is the right answer,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02you'll be playing in today's final.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07If it's the wrong answer, JT has a chance to steal.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Is Sue Lawley the right answer?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13She is!
0:23:13 > 0:23:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Well done, Josh.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Take your place in the final.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21APPLAUSE
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Just one place left in today's final.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Let's see who is going to grab it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Only nine of you surviving now.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- All ready? ALL:- Yeah!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Good luck. Here's your first question.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Pretty even split between owls and beetles.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Jenny, do you like the rhyme Who Killed Cock Robin?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I've heard of it, but it's just a guess, a wild guess.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- OK, so you've wildly guessed the owl.- I have, yeah.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Jackie has gone for the beetle.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- I think it's wrong.- Oh, do you?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Why did you go for it, then?- It came to me too late.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I think it's, "I, said the owl, with my little trowel."
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Ooh.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Bit of insight there. Looking good for you, Jenny.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Hindsight's a wonderful thing!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- It is, it is!- I think I've gone for the impossible.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19- Oh, do you?- Yup.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22So, Jackie, you think you've given the impossible answer.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Let's see if you have.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- No!- Oh!
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Phew!- It is a bit of a phew, actually, Jackie!
0:24:30 > 0:24:32The swift is not in the rhyme.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Escaped!
0:24:35 > 0:24:37You might even be right.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Nah.- Nah!
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Let's see what the right answer was.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45With his trowel.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50The beetle was using his thread and needle to make a shroud.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51So, a point to everyone who put owl.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Question number two.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Ah, now, Dan.- Mm.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Unfortunately, you were a teensy bit late locking your answer in.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16I've realised that.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19And that means we're going to have to say goodbye at this point.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- We will see you again tomorrow. - Looking forward to it.- OK.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Now, the rest of you, pretty much all thought B,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Cuba, except for JT,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31who went for Grenada.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Please tell me that's a Caribbean island.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Well, what do you think?
0:25:35 > 0:25:36I don't know!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Put me out of my misery, for heaven's sake, please!
0:25:39 > 0:25:41OK, let's reveal the impossible first,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43to put you out of your misery, JT.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It was A, Nicaragua.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Nicaragua is on the Central American isthmus.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52So we know that Grenada is a Caribbean island,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55but let's see if it's the right answer.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Afraid not. It means that everyone else gets a point.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01JT, you still progress to question three, though.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17So, this is obviously fairly confusing,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20but we have six As and two Bs,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22which means six Bs and two Cs.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24LAUGHTER
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Shannon, you went for B, by which I mean C.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I actually meant to go for B,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33but I'm pretty sure that A and C are at the bottom.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I literally don't know what you mean, really,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37because it's too confusing!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I don't know what I mean either, to be honest!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42OK. Let's end all of this confusion.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44The answer you were looking for is...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48B, as in C.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50LAUGHTER
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I don't imagine any of you have got any idea
0:26:53 > 0:26:54if you went for that or not!
0:26:54 > 0:26:57But six of you did, and you get a point.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01The letter C does lie between X and V.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Let's see if you've avoided the impossible answer at least.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08You have.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11The impossible answer was K, which is not on the bottom row.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Question four.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27The right answer...
0:27:28 > 0:27:31..is A, My Family, so a point to all of you who put that.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Pat, you went with B, Married With Children.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Didn't have a clue. Please tell me.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38I will do in a moment, Pat.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- Don't rush me!- Please!
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I'm building up tension here, Pat.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Only with me!- Jenny,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48you went for C, 2point4 Children.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I've heard of it, but I've never really watched any of them at all.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53It's not really my cup of tea, to be honest.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55OK. The impossible answer...
0:27:57 > 0:27:59..was B, Married With Children.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It's an American show, I'm afraid, Pat.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03We'll see you tomorrow.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07So, as we move on to our final question of this round,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10seven players left in, two of you on four points,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13and they are Mike and Shannon.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15OK, question five.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34All of you, including our leaders,
0:28:34 > 0:28:35have given the same answer, B,
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Kenneth Clarke, except for Jackie,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42who has gone with Peter Lilley.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Now, Jackie, have you avoided the impossible answer?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I think I've avoided the impossible, but I'm not sure I've got it right.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51And why do you think you've avoided the impossible?
0:28:51 > 0:28:55I don't think Dennis Skinner was ever in Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57That'd do it. OK.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Dennis Skinner, spot on, Jackie,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07was not a member of Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09He's a Labour MP.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- The Beast of Bolsover.- Yes.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Let's see if the rest of you have given the right answer.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18You have. B, Kenneth Clarke, a point to all of you.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23So that obviously means that Mike and Shannon, our leaders,
0:29:23 > 0:29:25are still tied on five points.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28And it will come down to who was answering
0:29:28 > 0:29:30the quickest across the round.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34I can tell you that the quickest to lock in their answers...
0:29:35 > 0:29:36..was Mike.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38CHEERING
0:29:38 > 0:29:39Congratulations, Mike.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42You have the chance to grab the last place in today's final!
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- Hello, Mike.- Hi, Rick, how are you doing, mate?
0:29:50 > 0:29:51I'm very well, thanks.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- More importantly, how are you?- I'm shaking a bit here,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55because I didn't think I could get this far.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57But you have. What do you do, Mike?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I retired two years ago from working for Greater Manchester Police.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02And what are you filling your time with now, then?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04At the moment, me and the wife are doing a bucket list.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- Oh, yeah?- We're doing things like scuba diving, white-water rafting,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10zip-wiring through jungles. I've done stand-up comedy,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13because I've always wanted to do stand-up comedy,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- make strangers laugh. - How was it?- Brilliant.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18The best thing is when you get your first laugh.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19It is just there.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20And then I had a script.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23I just went off, mate, on something. And that was it for six minutes.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26OK. Shall we have a look at the topics?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- Either of those take your fancy? - It's going to have to be
0:30:31 > 0:30:33food and drink, something I do every day.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- OK.- An awful lot.- OK.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37So, food and drink.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38You know how this is going to work.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I'm going to show you nine answers.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Here they come.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50- Nothing I drink.- No?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- No.- Do you want to see the first half of the question,
0:30:53 > 0:30:54see if that's illuminating?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57If it gives me any clearer... Yeah!
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Here it is.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Which fortified wine...
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Now, five answers are impossible, because they're not fortified wines.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Yeah, I know. - Where would you like to start, Mike?
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Believe it or not, Rick, I've worked on and off behind the bar
0:31:11 > 0:31:13for 24 years, and I'm still lost!
0:31:13 > 0:31:17I'm going to say for the impossible, is advocaat.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Is advocaat an impossible answer?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:31:23 > 0:31:24Yes.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- I'm going to try... Is it absinthe? - Mm-hm.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I'm going to try that. I haven't got a clue what it is.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Be careful!
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Is absinthe an impossible answer?
0:31:37 > 0:31:40It is. It's a spirit known as "the green fairy".
0:31:40 > 0:31:42It can make you hallucinate.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- Talk to me later, Mike.- Yeah!
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'm going to try Campari.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I'm really, you know, plucking them out of the sky here.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Is Campari an impossible answer?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54APPLAUSE
0:31:54 > 0:31:56It is, Mike! Doing very well.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Campari is a red aperitif...
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- laced with herbs.- Is it?
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Yeah. Where next?
0:32:05 > 0:32:06I'm going to go with vermouth.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Yeah?- I haven't a clue what it is. Again, I've heard of it but...
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Is vermouth an impossible answer?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Ooh... It is a fortified wine, I'm afraid, Mike.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- I didn't know that.- One more go.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- I'm going to go for marsala. - Marsala.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Is marsala an impossible answer?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- Oh, dear.- Aye.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29It is a fortified wine, I'm afraid.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Still, on a board that you didn't like the look of,
0:32:32 > 0:32:33you've added £300 to the prize pot.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Yeah.- It now stands at £1,300.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37APPLAUSE
0:32:40 > 0:32:43In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question,
0:32:43 > 0:32:45and then I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47If you find it, a place in the final is yours.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Give me a wrong answer,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51the next best player will have the chance to steal your place
0:32:51 > 0:32:54in the final. That is Shannon.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55- Hello, Shannon.- Hello!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Shall we have a look at the full question?
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Yeah, go on.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Which fortified wine...
0:33:03 > 0:33:07is a key ingredient of a classic martini cocktail?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09And I'm looking for the right answer.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- I'm going to try vermouth.- Vermouth.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14OK. If vermouth is the right answer...
0:33:15 > 0:33:17..you'll take your place in today's final.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Is vermouth a key ingredient of a classic martini cocktail?
0:33:24 > 0:33:25Yes, Mike.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:33:27 > 0:33:28You nailed it!
0:33:28 > 0:33:32APPLAUSE
0:33:32 > 0:33:34So, let's clear up the grid.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Prosecco is not a fortified wine.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38It is a sparkling wine.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Chartreuse is a liqueur made by monks.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Well done. You're through to the final.- Thank you.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:33:50 > 0:33:53For the rest of you, I'm afraid that victory today proved impossible,
0:33:53 > 0:33:55but we will see you all again tomorrow.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- Bye for now.- Bye!
0:33:57 > 0:33:59But for Sam, Josh and Mike, it's time for the final.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02APPLAUSE
0:34:04 > 0:34:10So, Sam, Josh and Mike, you've put £1,300 into today's prize pot,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12but only one of you can win that money
0:34:12 > 0:34:15and the right to face the £10,000 question.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Sam, what would you spend the money on?
0:34:18 > 0:34:19Well, if I won the big one,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I think I'll have to take my partner to New York,
0:34:22 > 0:34:24because she's been dropping enough hints.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27The latest was a big book all about New York - history, geography,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- everything.- Josh, what about you?
0:34:29 > 0:34:32My mum and dad have never left the country,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34so I would spend it taking them abroad somewhere.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Oh, amazing. Where would you take them?
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- I don't know.- Ease them in gently, or just, like, China straightaway?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Republic of Ireland, maybe. Yeah!
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Mike, what about you?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44As I said to you before, we're doing a bucket list,
0:34:44 > 0:34:47and the wife wants to climb Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- Oh, wow.- I'm scared of heights, and I have to go with her,
0:34:51 > 0:34:55and it's three hours of crawling on me hands and knees, isn't it?
0:34:55 > 0:34:59OK, you're each going to start with ten lives.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01There they are. Questions are on the buzzer.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Most of them are normal, straightforward questions with
0:35:04 > 0:35:05normal, straightforward answers.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Buzz and get one right and you knock a life off each of your opponents.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Buzz and get one wrong, you lose one of your own lives.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15However, some of the questions are impossible, which is to say,
0:35:15 > 0:35:18there is no answer, the question is illogical, it's preposterous.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21If you think you've spotted one of these,
0:35:21 > 0:35:23all you have to do is buzz in and say "impossible".
0:35:23 > 0:35:25That's really bad news for your opponents,
0:35:25 > 0:35:27because they will both lose two lives.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31But if you say that a question is impossible when it isn't,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33or give any other answer to an impossible question,
0:35:33 > 0:35:36it is you who will lose the two lives,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38so you do need to tread carefully.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41The last player standing will take the £1,300.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Ready?- Ready.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Best of luck.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Which 1970s hit single for Gloria Gaynor opens with the line...
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Sam?- I Will Survive.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53..opens with the line, "At first I was afraid"?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55It is I Will Survive. Josh and Mike, you lose a life.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00In the Mr Men books, what colour is Mr Happy?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- Mike?- Yellow.- He is yellow.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Josh and Sam lose a life.

0:36:23 > 0:36:24It's impossible.

0:36:29 > 0:36:33Which prime number comes between 24 and 28?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Mike.- 27.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- No, it doesn't.- No.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41There are no prime numbers between 24 and 28.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Lost the plot.- You have a bit, and you've lost another two lives,
0:36:44 > 0:36:47I'm afraid. That was impossible, Mike.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Which denomination of British coin was first introduced into
0:36:50 > 0:36:53general circulation in 1998?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Josh.- The £2 coin?- It was the £2 coin.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44Mike, it's time to face the £10,000 question.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Very, very well done, Mike.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58You are today's winner, with £1,300.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02That's great, but you could be leaving with a whole lot more,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05if you can answer the £10,000 question.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Have a little glance.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08It's all there, Mike.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10That'll weigh me pockets down, really, that will!

0:39:28 > 0:39:31and then ask you a question. Three of the nine answers are correct.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35If you can find them all within ten seconds, you win the ten grand.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37That's your good news.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Your less good news is that three of those answers are wrong.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Pick any of those and you won't win the ten grand.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48The bad news is that three of those answers are impossible.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Give me any of those and you lose the £1,300.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55I can only accept the first three answers that you give.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58If you fail to give me three answers before the ten seconds are up,
0:39:58 > 0:40:01you also lose the £1,300.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Any subject you're particularly hoping for, Mike?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06I like music, I like films and all that sort of thing.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Yeah, something... Basically, sport, that sort of thing, history,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13I'm hoping for. Something I know something about.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Well, I can tell you...
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- ..it's pop music.- Oh, if it's modern, I'm going to struggle.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Really am going to struggle.- OK. - But we'll give it a shot.- OK.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Good luck, Mike.- Thank you.- Here are your nine answers.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49And you're looking for
0:40:49 > 0:40:52all-female groups that have recorded for the Motown record label,
0:40:52 > 0:40:54and your time starts now.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57The Ronettes, the Shirelles, and I'll go for the Marvelettes.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- Oh...- Very quick to answer.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09And I've just seen something that I've missed.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- What have you seen?- The Supremes.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Cos it was the Fratellis threw me,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17cos I know they did Chelsea Dagger and all that recently.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20And the Bangles were more recent - '90s, weren't they?
0:41:20 > 0:41:22I just looked at the Ronettes, the Shirelles, the Marvelettes,
0:41:22 > 0:41:24and I've just noticed the Supremes.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Well, let's see.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28You took out the left-hand side.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Let's start at the bottom - the Marvelettes.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Is the Marvelettes a right answer?
0:41:36 > 0:41:37It is.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:39 > 0:41:43- It's a good start, Mike.- Well, one out of three's not bad.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45So, the Shirelles.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Are the Shirelles an all-female group
0:41:47 > 0:41:50that have recorded for the Motown record label?
0:41:54 > 0:41:56They're not,
