Episode 20 Impossible

I'm Rick Edwards and this is !mpossible.

Impossible.

Impossible.

Impossible!

Welcome to !mpossible, the quiz with the third dimension.

Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,

but we also have impossible answers.

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

Hoping to get lots of right answers,

whilst dodging those pesky impossible answers, are 24 players.

-Hello, players. ALL:

-Hello, Rick.

This is your last chance to unlock this.

Our humongous exclamation mark

filled with 10,000 shimmering pound coins,

all personally buffed by me.

At the end of the show,

one of our fabulous two dozen will face the final question

and here...it is.

Today's £10,000 question.

Get this right and all of that money will come down here

and into your pockets.

Replacing Josh, who sadly left yesterday empty-handed, is Brenda.

-Hello.

-Tell me a bit about yourself, Brenda.

-What do you do?

-Actually, I'm retired now,

so I have a lot more choice of how I spend my time, which is good.

Go on. Talk me through a typical day, then, Brenda.

A typical day might be sort of getting up...

Not in real time, Brenda.

OK. Fine, fine. I do a lot of walking.

I do a lot of helping out with family and things like that.

-Nice.

-So quite a lot of days might be artwork, might be reading -

great passion of mine.

-What sort of artwork?

-I do quite a lot of drawing with pencils

and crayons. I particularly specialise in birds.

Oh, so if birds came up...

-Feathered birds, yes.

-Feathered birds.

Well, great to have you here.

And although she's feeling much better today,

Rachel is still not quite well enough to play.

Wishing you better soon, Rachel.

I'm assuming you're watching. But in her place is Marion.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-I'm fine, thank you.

-What do you do, Marion?

-I'm what's called an early years officer.

I work in a preschool nursery class, managing staff who look after

children aged three to five before they go to school.

OK. And what do you do in your spare time, Marion?

I'm the vice president for a local operatic society.

-Oh!

-At the moment, we are rehearsing for Oklahoma!

-OK.

-And I'm only in the chorus this time, but the last part I played,

I can't remember, but it was a man in South Pacific because they were

short of men, so I played a rather short man.

And did you pop on the old beard, Marion, or...?

I just grew the one I had.

Yeah, lovely. Lovely.

It's beautifully trimmed for today cos you're on telly.

The make-up girls are wonderful.

If you were to get your hands on the £10,000...

Firstly, that would be a bit of a smash and grab.

Secondly, what would you do with it?

I'd really love to get some tickets for some great rock shows.

Oh, yeah? What kind of shows?

Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, anybody, I can really...

Are you a bit of a head-banger, Marion?

A bit of a head-banger, yes.

Unfortunately, I've not got long hair any more but...

We'll get you a wig. Make-up will sort you out, no problem, Marion.

-I've got some, I've got some.

-Oh, good. You're fine, then.

-Yes.

-Well, best of luck, Marion.

-Thank you very much.

-Let's crack on.

You'll face five multiple-choice questions, each with three answers.

The right answer scores you a point.

The wrong answer gets you nothing.

But if you choose the impossible answer...

Impossible.

..that really is a huge disaster.

It immediately knocks you out of today's show and we'll have to say

goodbye. It's going to be hard for me, it's going to be hard for you.

After five questions, the highest scorer will get the first chance

to bag a place in today's final. Are you all ready?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-OK.

Here's your first question.

OK. We've got 19 As and five Cs.

The answer you should have gone for...

..is A, Bruno Tonioli.

A point to all of you who went for that.

The five Cs, I do not want to be saying goodbye to you here.

Hoping you've avoided the impossible. Have you?

You have. Louis Walsh, not a judge on Strictly Come Dancing.

A judge on the X Factor. So everyone proceeds to question two.

We've got 15 Cs and nine Bs.

The right answer...

..is C, Singapore.

The Raffles Hotel in Singapore is named after him.

A point to all of you.

The impossible answer...

The impossible answer was A, Angola,

which is a country in southern Africa.

Everyone still in play as we move on to question three.

Now, we have got all answers out there.

Means we are going to be saying goodbye to some people.

Said, you have gone for Enver Hoxha.

Yeah. General Franco, in my mind,

it just rings bells with something Spanish,

or something European at least.

So I thought it has to be either A or C and I just went with A.

Alan went with C, Marshal Tito.

I think I've heard that Tito was Yugoslavian,

so it rang a bell with me, that name did.

OK. Carolynne, you went with General Franco.

How did you arrive at Franco?

A, B, C,

C, B, A,

A, B.

-Lovely.

-Yeah.

-Lovely pattern to it.

-That was it.

-One of you has given the impossible answer.

It's the Bs.

Franco was a right-wing dictator, not a Communist,

so Carolynne, Holly, Dan and Daniel,

we have to say goodbye at this point.

Thanks, guys. Take care.

And the right answer, where the points are going...

..C, Marshal Tito.

A point to all who put C.

Enver Hoxha was an Albanian Communist leader.

Question four.

The majority have gone with A.

Let's see if you're right.

You are. A point to all of you that went for fencing.

George, are you using the old pattern again?

It was a slip of a finger there.

I did know it was fencing.

I know boxing isn't in the pentathlon,

so I'm pretty safe.

So, safe, you reckon?

-Yeah.

-Marion,

George seems fairly convinced

that boxing is not in the modern pentathlon.

Yes, I was taken in...

I was thinking round robin,

I thought ring and I thought of boxing ring.

-It just...

-One of you has definitely given the impossible answer.

I'm afraid it is C, boxing - not a modern pentathlon event.

Marion, short and sweet.

-I know I am.

-But lovely, lovely to have you here.

-Thank you.

-Alan, it's been a pleasure.

-Thank you.

-Take care. Bye-bye.

-Thank you. Bye-bye.

Just two of you on four points.

They are Jinesh and Anne.

Question five.

Our leaders have given the same answer.

B.

The impossible answer...

..is C, Sailing To Byzantium.

It is not by Philip K Dick, it's a poem by WB Yeats.

Pam, have to say goodbye.

Shannon, in the leader sandwich, got to say goodbye to you.

Emily as well.

George, maybe you should have stuck with the system.

And Stewart. And Jamie.

-Bye.

-And you put a nice thing in your hair for the last show as well!

-I know! It's OK.

-I can't believe it.

Goodbye to you all. You've all been fantastic.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Just 12 of you left now.

Let's see if our leaders have both given the correct answer.

They have. A point to everyone who went for B,

Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?

So, you both finish the round on five.

The person to lock in their answers quickest...

..was Anne.

-APPLAUSE Congratulations.

-Thank you.

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

-Hello again, Anne.

-Hello again.

-How are you doing?

I'm doing fine now.

Nice round for you, Anne.

-Yes.

-What would you spend the money on?

Well, I like going skiing.

-Oh, do you?

-Yes, I've been going skiing since I was 30.

-Uh-huh.

Despite the fact I don't like heights,

I'm accident prone and I've had five knee operations.

But I'm still doing it.

-I mean, that's extraordinary, Anne.

-I know.

-All right.

-Shall we do it?

-Yeah. Let's go for it.

You know how this is going to work.

This is your chance to put up to £500 into the daily prize pot

and take one big step towards playing the £10,000 question.

Cos you're first, Anne, you've got a choice of four topics.

-OK.

-Here they come.

It's going to have to be Books And Literature.

-Books And Literature?

-Yes.

-I'm going to reveal nine answers.

Any idea what the first half of the question might be?

Something to do with The Wombles or Rainbow.

Let's have a look.

First half of the question is...

Wombles. Good.

So, five of those are impossible because they aren't Wombles.

You've got five goes

and each impossible answer you add will give you £100 in the prize pot.

-OK.

-Where would you like to start?

I'm going to start with Hamble, because I know that's a doll.

Is Hamble an impossible answer?

Hamble is indeed a doll from Playschool.

Where next?

Bungle. I think Bungle's another Playschool thing.

Is Bungle an impossible answer?

Bungle is from Rainbow.

-Looby Loo next.

-Is Looby Loo an impossible answer?

Looby Loo is from Andy Pandy.

I don't recognise Scoop,

so I think I'll go for Scoop next, please.

Is Scoop an impossible answer?

Scoop is the digger from Bob The Builder.

Never watched Bob The Builder.

One more go, Anne.

Bungo.

Is Bungo an impossible answer?

-Oh!

-No.

Bungo is a Womble.

-Oh, right.

-You've put £400 into the prize pot,

but are you going to be playing for that money

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

-I hope so.

-I hope so too, Anne.

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

and I will be looking for the right answer.

Tell me the right answer, you're in the final.

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

to steal your place in the final.

-I know that happened to you before and it was painful.

-Yes.

This time, might be even more painful cos it is your row-mate,

Jinesh, lying in wait.

I mean, he's smiling now. The smiling assassin, waving.

There is still an impossible answer up there.

If you give me that, you will be eliminated from today's show.

-I'll have to say goodbye.

-OK.

-Shall we have a look at the full question?

-Yes, please.

Oh, that one I don't know.

Tobermory.

Is Tobermory the right answer?

-Oh, dear.

-It's a wrong answer.

Not an impossible, though.

-Jinesh?

-You'll be pleased to know, I know nothing about the Wombles,

but I'm going to be safe and go for Bungo. Play it safe.

Because you know it's not an impossible answer?

-Yeah.

-OK. Is Bungo particularly fond of 40 winks?

No. That's a wrong answer.

Anne, great news for you.

-Thank you.

-The answer you're looking for...

-Anyone? CONTESTANTS:

-Orinoco.

Oh, wow. There you go.

They think Orinoco...

and they're spot on.

And what's the impossible answer?

-CONTESTANTS:

-Mungo.

Mungo.

-Why?

-Mary, Mungo And Midge.

It's good stuff. JT, this would have been a good grid for you, mate.

I'd have been there, mate. I'd have been there.

Anne, take your place in the final.

Thank you.

APPLAUSE

There are still two places left in today's final alongside Anne.

Let's see who's going to be grabbing the next one.

Here's your first question.

So, we have ten Bs, just the one A.

-Pat?

-I have to say, the Village People, I'm sad to say, actually,

they're a bit after my time.

LAUGHTER

They are.

But you're familiar with them, though, Pat?

Not really.

I mean, obviously, I've heard their music, but, yeah, not familiar.

OK. Let's have a look at the right answer.

It's A, the soldier, Pat.

PAT LAUGHS APPLAUSE

That was one of the best kind of self applauses

I've seen in some time, Pat. Right in the air, "Yes! Go, me!"

A bit of a surprise.

Only you get a point, Pat.

Have the rest of you avoided the impossible answer?

It was C, the firefighter.

So, all ten of you escape.

There is no firefighter in the Village People.

Moving on to question number two.

Let's see if the majority have given the right answer this time.

They have. It was A Beautiful Mind, so a point to all of you.

The impossible answer...

Children Of Men is not a biopic.

Walk The Line is a film based on the life of Johnny Cash.

Question number three.

Pretty even split between Bs and Cs.

The answer you were looking for...

..is B, Barbara Hepworth.

A point for all you Hepworths out there.

Let's check the remainder of you have avoided the impossible.

You have.

Francis Bacon was Irish born.

Question number four.

We have got all answers out there

which means we are going to be losing some people.

Said, have you read The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy?

I haven't read it, but I have seen the film and I recognised the name

Zaphod Beeblebrox.

-Easy for you to say, Said!

-I know.

Zaphod Beeblebrox. That's the only name that I recognise,

so I know it's in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

-But I don't know whether it's the right answer.

-OK.

Pat, why did you go for Master Fezziwig?

-I just liked the name. Looked good.

-Great name, isn't it?

Thought it would fit on an estate agent's sign quite nicely.

Yeah, I'd rent from Master Fezziwig.

Let's find out who we are going to be sadly saying goodbye to.

The impossible answer...

..is B, Master Fezziwig.

Master Fezziwig is a Dickens character.

Pat, your luck has run out.

Thank you ever so much for playing !mpossible.

Jammy and Jennifer, the Js up there.

It's been great fun having you on the show.

-Jenny, you're out as well.

-I am. I am.

Oh, Jenny. Well, it's been lovely having you here.

-Thank you.

-Take care, everyone. Goodbye.

-OK. Bye.

Let's see who's going to get the points.

C, Hotblack Desiato.

Everyone who goes for Hotblack Desiato gets a point.

Final question.

Fairly even split between As and Bs.

Let's check that everyone's avoided the impossible answer.

You have. John Dillinger was a famous criminal in the States.

Jinesh, back on the Bs.

Yeah, maybe I should have gone A for this one.

The agony of choice, Jinesh.

But at least I didn't pick C, so I'm still in it.

The points are going to...

..A, Andrew Jackson.

Andrew Jackson is going to be replaced

by the civil rights activist Harriet Tubman.

So, Brenda, Said and, crucially, Sue get a point

which means that Sue finishes the round in the lead

on four points and you have a chance to grab a place in the final, Sue.

-Hello again, Sue.

-Hello, Rick.

Have you ever won anything before?

I'm looking for a history of winning, really.

Do you remember Spot the Ball?

-Or were you too young for that?

-I do remember Spot the Ball!

Well, the year I got married, in 1978...

-Yeah.

-..we used to do Spot the Ball and we won £150 or so,

-which was a fortune then.

-That's really good.

Especially as we'd just got married.

Shame you don't get those competitions any more.

-No, you don't.

-It's a good competition.

-150 quid!

-Yeah.

So, that is the history of winning.

-Yeah.

-So, we've got three topics.

-Yeah.

-Let's have a look at them.

Famous People, Pop Music and Politics.

I'm going to go for Famous People.

-Going to go Famous People?

-Yeah.

-All right.

-OK.

-So, five of those are impossible because they are not US-born models.

Where do you want to start, Sue?

I'll start with Jean Shrimpton, who was British.

Jean Shrimpton, confidently saying she was British.

Is Jean Shrimpton an impossible answer?

Yes.

She's British.

Elle Macpherson who I believe is Australian.

Is Elle Macpherson an impossible answer?

Yes, she's Australian.

-The Body.

-The Body, yes.

Heidi Klum sounds German, but I think she might be South American,

but I don't think she's American, so I will go for Heidi Klum.

Is Heidi Klum an impossible answer?

Yeah.

Sounds German, is German.

Oh, is? OK.

I'm pretty sure that two are US born...

Gisele Bundchen I don't believe is.

OK.

Is she an impossible answer?

She is.

Any idea where she is from?

Is she South American?

-Yeah, Brazilian.

-Yeah.

Amber Valletta.

Amber Valletta?

-Slightly less sure about this one, Sue?

-I'm not sure about this one.

All right. Is Amber Valletta an impossible answer?

Ah, sadly not.

She is a US-born model.

-OK.

-But £800 in the prize pot.

Let's see if you are going to be playing for that money

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

In a moment, I'll reveal the second half of the question

and I want you to give me the right answer.

Once you've given me the right answer, you are in the final.

-Right.

-But if you give me a wrong answer,

the next-best player will have the chance

to steal your place in the final.

And I can reveal

that that was Said.

There is still one impossible answer up there, Sue.

-Yeah.

-If you give me that, you will be eliminated from the show.

-Yeah.

-I know this.

-Oh!

I know it was Cindy Crawford.

-Yeah?

-Married to the lovely Richard Gere. Yes.

Is Cindy Crawford the right answer?

It is.

You knew it.

And you are going through to the final.

One impossible left up there.

It's Linda Evangelista.

-Oh, right. OK.

-Who is Canadian.

-OK.

-Not important, Sue.

-Take your seat and wait for the final.

-Thank you.

There is just one place left in the final.

Who's it going to be? Only six of you surviving.

This is your last chance.

This is it. Here is your first question.

So, we have got five Bs and one A.

Let's see if the majority are correct.

They are. It's B, How Deep Is Your Love.

A point to you five.

The impossible answer...

Never Ever, not a Take That song.

It was a 1997 number one for All Saints.

Question number two.

The right answer...

Is C, Mrs Dalloway.

So, a point to you guys.

-Kerry.

-Never heard of any of them and I panicked

and just pressed the top one.

But, you know, I've got much further than I thought I would

and I've exceeded my expectations this week...

-Don't do your goodbye speech yet, Kerry.

-No, it's fine.

You might not have gone!

-Said.

-I think she did a play, like, Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?

-Or someone did a play with her name in it.

-Yep.

Shot in the dark, so went for B.

All right. The impossible answer...

..is B, Cold Comfort Farm is a novel by Stella Gibbons.

-Sorry, Said, it's the end of the road.

-It is.

You've been a good contestant, you've been down a couple of times.

-I have.

-Have you enjoyed it?

-I have. It's been a really fun experience

and I'm really glad to have played it with everyone here as well.

-Ah, bless him! Thank you, Said.

-Thank you very much.

See you later. Bye.

See, Kerry. Didn't need to do your speech.

Question number three.

Got a split between As and Cs.

-Terry.

-I seem to remember that something was discovered by accident

and I'm sure it was the army,

so, fingers crossed.

The answer you were looking for...

..is A, the Terracotta Army.

It's in China, Terry.

-Ah, yes.

-Ah, yes.

Ah, yes. A point to Jinesh, Terry and Kerry.

The impossible answer...

Yes, the Citadel of Machu Picchu is in South America.

Question number four.

So, we've got four Bs and just the one C.

Let's see the right answer.

It is B, Edsel.

The Edsel is considered to be one of the great car flops.

A point to all of you.

-Jinesh.

-Do you know what?

I'm feeling lucky today, so I'm going to say I'm not out.

All right. Let's see.

A, Corvair.

You are feeling lucky, Jinesh.

The Corvair was made by Chevrolet.

Question five.

You've all gone for A, Scott Mills.

Let's check you haven't all given the impossible answer.

No, that's Nick Ferrari, he hosts a talk show on LBC.

Let's see if you have got the right answer.

You have. So, a point to everyone, but at the end of that round, Terry,

on five points, you are coming down to play the grid.

Just caught you eyeing up the money there, Terry.

-Yes. Yeah.

-It's impressive, isn't it?

-It is.

I'm going to need a bigger suitcase, I think, to take that home.

You'll be able to buy a lovely new suitcase, Terry.

I've got to ask you, Terry, I've been looking at you and there is...

There's someone in there and I can't work out who it is.

-Who is it?

-A little bit of my secret past.

About 20 years ago, a young man called Damon Hill won...

-Yes, it's Damon Hill!

-Yes, it's Damon Hill.

-Thank you.

-He won the Formula 1 World Championship in '96.

-Yes.

-And I was pleased to be the UK number one lookalike for him.

Very nice, Terry.

Yeah.

APPLAUSE

What kind of stuff do you do as a lookalike?

I've had a few surreal moments.

I mean, I did attend a party once with the Queen,

two David Beckhams and Mary Hopkin.

Not bad.

-Not a bad party at all.

-Not bad to hang around with, were they, really?

Did you meet the actual Damon Hill?

Very briefly, once, and he gave me a little wink of acknowledgement.

And there was an F1 magazine as well.

I did send my photo in pretending to be him

and in the next issue, he must have seen it

because there was a picture of him

pretending to be me pretending to be him.

So that was quite a nice compliment, really.

Yeah, that is a nice compliment.

OK. The remaining topics are...

It's got to be Pop Music, hasn't it?

All right. We are going to see nine answers.

-OK.

-Here they come.

-Wow.

-What strikes you?

There's a lot of Queen in there.

I would severely kick myself if I don't manage to get this.

-Depends on the question.

-All right. Let's look at it.

-Let's have a look.

Five answers are impossible. Where would you like to start?

Well, let's start with Fleetwood Mac, I think, and Rumours.

Is Rumours an impossible answer?

Yes. It's by Fleetwood Mac.

OK. Another confident one, I think,

Paul McCartney and Wings, it will be Venus And Mars,

so that is not one either.

Is that an impossible answer?

Absolutely right again. Paul McCartney and Wings.

Made In England, I think that's going to be an Elton John...

A not-very-good Elton John album, sorry about that.

But, yeah, I think that was the case on that one.

So, I will go for Made In England.

OK. Is that an impossible answer?

And it is by Elton John.

OK.

One I don't recognise, In Through The Out Door,

can't really say who did that.

-OK.

-We'll try that one.

In Through The Out Door, is that an impossible answer?

It is.

By Led Zeppelin.

Oh, of course! Blimey. An album classic.

-Imagine that.

-Four out of four.

OK.

And I think, personally,

Sheer Heart Attack was a great album.

As was The Game, I believe, and Jazz.

So, let's go for Hot Fuss.

Is Hot Fuss an impossible answer?

And that is a 2004 album by the Killers.

-The Killers. Of course.

-Five from five.

-£500 added to the prize pot which now stands at £1,300.

-Wow!

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

and I will be looking for the right answer.

If you give me a wrong answer, the next-best player will have a chance

to steal your place in the final

and that player is Kerry.

Now, you are in a very strong position here, Terry,

because there are no impossible answers left out there

and you seem to know all of these albums.

Let's reveal the full question.

I think I'm going to go for the classic '70s Sheer Heart Attack.

The rest of them seem kind of '80s, so, Kind Of Magic and The Game

where they went all short-haired and curly and a bit poppy,

so Sheer Heart Attack, I think,

was a great album for that.

'74?

-Let's see.

-'75. I don't know.

Is Sheer Heart Attack the right answer?

It is. Not only that, Terry, but it was 1974.

-Was it?

-Absolutely perfect grid play.

-Do I get an extra point?

-You are through to the final. No.

For the rest of you, I'm afraid victory today proved impossible.

It's been a real joy getting to know you all.

Hope you enjoyed it. Goodbye.

-ALL:

-Bye!

But for Anne, Sue and Terry, it's time for the final.

Anne, Sue and Terry, there is £1,300 in today's prize pot,

but only one of you can win that money

and the right to face the £10,000 question.

You are each going to start with ten lives.

Questions are on the buzzer. Most of them are normal,

straightforward questions, with normal, straightforward answers.

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

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

However, some of the questions are impossible.

If you think you have spotted one of these,

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

That's really bad news for your opponents

because they will both lose two lives.

But if you say a question is impossible when it isn't

or give any other answer to an impossible question,

it is you that will lose the two lives.

Best of luck, let's start.

In which British city is John Lennon Airport located?

-Sue.

-Liverpool.

It is Liverpool.

Anne and Terry, you lose a life.

Sandwiches made with which fruit preserve are Paddington Bear's favourite food?

-Terry.

-Marmalade.

-It is marmalade.

Which multiple Olympic gold medallist won his third consecutive

Great North Run in 2016?

-Terry.

-Impossible.

It's not impossible. It's Mo Farah.

Terry, you lose two lives.

What was the first name of Kylie Minogue's character in Neighbours?

-Anne.

-Charlene.

-It was Charlene.

Which German word for a form of entertainment

translates into English as empty orchestra?

-Sue.

-Karaoke.

It is karaoke, but it's a Japanese word, so it's impossible.

-Yeah.

-You knew that, Sue.

-I know.

But you lose two lives.

What is the capital of the US state of Tennessee?

-Terry.

-Memphis.

It's not, unfortunately. It's Nashville.

Which Shakespeare play is the inspiration for the musical Kiss Me Kate?

-Anne.

-I've forgotten now.

Out of time, I'm afraid, Anne.

It's The Taming Of The Shrew. You lose a life.

Which Austrian psychoanalyst coined the term Oedipus complex?

-Sue.

-Freud.

Sigmund Freud. I will accept that.

In which decade of the 20th century did King Edward VII abdicate?

-Terry.

-Impossible.

But you are out of the game.

Anne and Terry, commiserations.

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

Well done.

APPLAUSE

Very well done, Sue. How are you feeling?

Got a bit shaky legs again, but I'm OK.

Shaky legs is absolutely fine, Sue.

All right. Here's how it works.

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

Three of the nine answers are correct

and if you can find them all within ten seconds, you win the ten grand.

I can only accept the first three answers you give me.

If you fail to give me three answers before the ten seconds are up,

-you also lose the £1,300.

-Yeah.

This is your one shot at the £10,000 question,

I want you to be leaving wondering where you're going to put

all those pound coins. It's a nice problem to have.

-So do I.

-Any subject that you are particularly hoping for, Sue?

Books and lit, but that's come up, so it won't again.

I'm like Kate. Food and drink would be good.

I'm pretty OK with geography.

Let's have a look, then.

I can tell you it's Sport.

Depends on the sport.

All right.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck, Sue.

-Thank you.

Everyone is on tenterhooks.

Everyone wants you to win big.

-Thank you.

-Here are your nine answers.

And you're looking for...

And your time starts now.

Gareth Southgate.

Chris Waddle.

Steven Gerrard.

-How do you think you have done?

-I'm happy with, I think,

Waddle and Southgate, because I kind of remember them missing.

I'm not so sure about Steven Gerrard.

Let's get the one you are not sure about out of the way.

Would my hero, Steven Gerrard, miss a World Cup penalty?

Is Steven Gerrard a right answer?

He is.

He missed against Portugal in 2006.

-OK.

-Still hurts.

Waddle you seemed quite sure about?

I'm actually more sure about Gareth Southgate because they did

the TV advert, didn't they, with Gareth Southgate?

-They did.

-I'm more sure about him now, actually,

than I am Chris Waddle.

Did Gareth Southgate miss in a World Cup penalty shoot-out

whilst playing for England?

He didn't. It was in Euro '96, I'm afraid, Sue.

Oh! All right, OK. OK.

Not an impossible answer, though,

so you've still got the daily prize money of £1,300.

-Yeah.

-That's what we want you to hold on to now.

Yes, hopefully.

For £1,300, Sue...

Did Chris Waddle,

legendary Spurs player,

miss in a World Cup penalty shoot-out for England?

He did.

-He did.

-Lovely.

-You've won £1,300, Sue.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you.

-The other answer that you missed was Paul Ince.

I don't remember him doing that, but...

Against Argentina in 1998.

Chris Waddle missed against West Germany in 1990.

The impossibles that you did very well to avoid...

You can probably tell me, actually, Sue.

Roy Keane is Irish, Gareth Bale is Welsh, Ally McCoist is Scottish.

Exactly right.

You knew that grid pretty well.

Nevertheless, £1,300.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you very much for playing Impossible.

-Well done, Sue.

-Thank you.

Sue leaves with £1,300.

I'm going to be back next week when someone else will have the chance

to win ten grand. This has been !mpossible,

the quiz where, actually, anything is possible. Goodbye.
