0:00:02 > 0:00:04I'm Rick Edwards and this is Impossible.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Welcome to Impossible, the quiz with the third dimension.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Most quiz shows just how right answers and wrong answers, but here,
0:00:20 > 0:00:21we also have impossible answers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24They're not just wrong, they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Today we have 24 brand-new players.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Hello, players.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- ALL:- Hello!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Very good feeling about these guys.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34We'll be getting to know them over the next two weeks, and every day,
0:00:34 > 0:00:38one of them will have the chance to unlock this.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- ALL:- Whoo!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44They are right to whoo. It's an immense exclamation mark
0:00:44 > 0:00:51filled with 10,000 shimmering pound coins, which is a total value of £10,000.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52At the end of each show,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56one of this dazzling two dozen will face the final question.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And here it is.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Today's £10,000 question.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Get this right and all of that cash comes flooding out.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Haris, welcome.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10- How are you?- Good, how are you?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Very well indeed, thank you. Excited about a new group of people.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- What do you do, Haris? - I'm a medical student.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18OK, at what stage are you at?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21So, I'm in my fourth year at Edinburgh University.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24When do you start getting to, you know, cut into people?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Hopefully, never!
0:01:26 > 0:01:27I don't want to do that cutting stuff.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Oh.- The doctor stuff, hopefully in two years' time.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Excellent stuff. Lovely to have you here.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Hope you enjoy the show.- Thank you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Steve, how are you?- I'm very good, thank you, yourself?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Very good. What do you do, Steve?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41I'm actually a full-time dad to my four wonderful children back home.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Great, great.- I also work at the local primary school.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45- OK.- I'm the lollipop man.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47How long have you been lollipoping for?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49About three years now, so, yeah,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I look after the kids during the morning and afternoons,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53make sure they get across OK.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And my kids go to the primary school, as well.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Great to have you here, Steve, and everyone else.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00A quick welcome, as well, to Jackie,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02who is the British Sign Language interpreter for Asif.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06She is going to be with us for the whole two weeks.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Good luck to everyone. Are you sort of feeling geed up and ready?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- ALL:- Yes.- That's what I like to hear.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Let's crack on. You'll face five multiple-choice questions,
0:02:13 > 0:02:14each with three answers.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16The right answer will score you a point,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18the wrong answer will score you nothing,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20but if you choose the impossible answer...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22disaster.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24That immediately knocks you out of today's show.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26You'll have to try again tomorrow.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31After five questions, the highest scorer gets the first chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Are we all set?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- ALL:- Yes.- Here's your first question.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51The group has pretty much stuck together here.
0:02:51 > 0:02:5422 of you have gone with C, One Direction.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Let's see if that's right.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59It is. So a point to all 22 of you.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Now, Linda...
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I'm not into boybands.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03None of the boybands?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05None of them, no.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Why did you go for Take That?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Because it could have been any of them,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11but I didn't think it was the Black Eyed Peas.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13You think you might have avoided the impossible answer, then?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Oh, I hope so.- I hope so too, Linda.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Let's see.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Yes, you have. The Black Eyed Peas are not a British boyband,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25they are a mixed-gender American group.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27So, we all survive to question number two.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43All answers out there.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46That does mean that some of you have given the impossible answer,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I'm afraid.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Asif, you have gone for Warhola.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53What was your thinking?
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Well, it sounds similar to a Tamil word, which is a soup, I think.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03OK. The impossible answer...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08..is B, Warhola.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Which is the birth name of Andy Warhol.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Famous for his paintings of soup cans.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Never actually made any soup, though.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19So we say goodbye to Izhan, Lucille, Harvey, Asif and Kim.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20See you all tomorrow.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23And the right answer...
0:04:25 > 0:04:27C, mulligatawny.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29So we point to everybody who went for C.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Let's go on to question number three.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Great teamwork here.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Everyone has gone for A, Jack Dawson.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52For the sake of the game, I hope that's not impossible.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53LAUGHTER
0:04:53 > 0:04:54The right answer...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58..is A. Everyone gets a point.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00The impossible answer...
0:05:02 > 0:05:07C, Johnny Castle, which is Patrick Swayze's character in Dirty Dancing.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Question four, then.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23All answers out there.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27The majority have gone with C, New England Patriots.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Was that right?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It was.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32So a point to all of you.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37It does mean that some of you have given the impossible answer,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41unfortunately. Clair, Los Angeles Lakers.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Actually, that's a bit embarrassing, because I thought I'd pressed C.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- That is embarrassing, Clair.- That's really embarrassing, isn't it?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Do you sometimes spell your name Alair?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51From now on, I will.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Ndaba, you went with Seattle Seahawks.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Yes.- American football fan?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59No, not in the slightest.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02So just a bit of a guess from you, Ndaba?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I thought New England Patriots, I've heard of them,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06but I've heard them too much,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09and I thought there's a team that won it that was a bit niche.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Maybe.- Let's see.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14One of you has definitely given the impossible answer.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Let's see which.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Unfortunately, Alair, it is you. LAUGHTER
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Los Angeles Lakers are a basketball team.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29So we say goodbye to you and to Linda.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30See you tomorrow.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Moving on to the final question of this round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:3817 of you still in play and, amazingly,
0:06:38 > 0:06:4113 of you are on four points.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Great round. It does mean that this is likely to come down
0:06:46 > 0:06:49to those fingers. Question number five.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07So we've got 13 As and just four Cs.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Let's check you've all avoided the impossible answer.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14You have. That was B, the Floral Dance.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17That was a chart hit for Terry Wogan in 1978.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Check it out. Let's see where the points are going.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24A, The Colour of Magic
0:07:24 > 0:07:26was the first to be published in his Discworld series.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28A point to everyone who went for A.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32So, at the end of that round, ten of you have got full points,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34which is five.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38It's incredibly close but I can tell you that the quickest to lock in
0:07:38 > 0:07:40their answers across the rounds...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42was Jason.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43APPLAUSE
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Congratulations, you have the first chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53So, Jason, first one down. You seemed quite surprised.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I did. I didn't think I was quick enough.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- But I think that last one got it for me. I knew it.- Oh, you were right on it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- I was right on the button. - Hammering away at the button.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- I was.- The way I like it, Jason.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- What do you do, Jason? - Nothing very exciting.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- I work...- I'll be the judge of that. - I work for a finance company.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09You're absolutely right. LAUGHTER
0:08:09 > 0:08:11What do you do in your spare time, Jason?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14In my spare time, I have three kids, so I spend a lot of time with them.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Big Cardiff City fan. Sadly.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I also write, I try to write.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- OK, what kind of stuff? - I've written a fantasy novel.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Oh, wow. Which is why you knew the Pratchett, I presume.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Which is why I knew it, yeah.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It's collecting rejection letters at the moment.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- I'm up to 22.- This is a thing with writing, isn't it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35You write a couple and then you hit your stride and then you write your masterpiece.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Apparently so. Apparently so.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39And what would you do with the £10,000,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41if you were to get your mitts on that, Jason?
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Well, the garage needs a new roof, but I think we'd end up buying a car.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I was going to say, if you win £10,000 on the show,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51and you re-do the garage, Jason, I'll be very disappointed.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55OK. Let's focus now.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I'm going to give you a choice of four topics.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Here they come.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03History, musical theatre, the UK and sport.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Any of those tickle you?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Probably sport and just hope it's not golf or cricket.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12OK, sport, but not golf or cricket.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Yes, please.- That's a good caveat.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17So you're going to see nine answers.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Here they come.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20All relating to sport...
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Doesn't feel golfy.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Doesn't feel that crickety. So that's good.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40That is good. I'm hoping it might be decathlon.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43All right, let's look at the first half of the question.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Which discipline in an Olympic heptathlon.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Close, close.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50So five of those answers are impossible,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54because they aren't events in the Olympic heptathlon.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57You can have five goes and each impossible answer you successfully
0:09:57 > 0:10:00identify will add £100 to the daily prize pot.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Where would you like to start, Jason?- OK.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07I think back to the Olympics and watching Jessica Ennis,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09so I'm going to start with...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- ..high jump.- OK.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Is the high jump an impossible answer?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22No. The high jump is in the Olympic heptathlon.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24OK.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Pole vault.- Pole vault.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Is the pole vault an impossible answer?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32It is.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34We're up and running.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36There's definitely a hurdle race in there
0:10:36 > 0:10:40but I don't think it's the 400, so 400 metre hurdles.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Is the 400 metre hurdles an impossible answer?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It is. Very nice.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I'm going to go for the 200 metres.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52200 metres.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Is the 200 metres an impossible answer?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00It's not. Two goes remaining.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's got to be one of the running ones, so I...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I'm sure the 800... 1500 metres.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Is the 1500 metres an impossible answer?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12It is.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Good. So we've put £300 into today's prize pot.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18But we need to see if you are going to be paying for that money
0:11:18 > 0:11:21and a shot at the £10,000 question in today's final.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24So, in a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question
0:11:24 > 0:11:26and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Give me the right answer, a place in the final is yours.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Give me a wrong answer and the next best player will have the chance to
0:11:33 > 0:11:35steal your place in the final.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38The next quickest was Ryan.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- ALL:- Whoo.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Stand by, Ryan.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45There are two impossible answers still up there.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47If you give me one of those,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49you will sadly be eliminated from today's show.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Shall we have a look at the full question?
0:11:51 > 0:11:52- Yes, please.- All right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Which discipline in an Olympic heptathlon...
0:11:56 > 0:11:59..is the final one to take place?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I might look stupid here, however,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05this was what I was hoping it was going to be.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Oh.- Because I remember watching...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I say remember watching Jessica Ennis, you know, I did not watch it all.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14And I'm pretty sure on that Super Saturday in the London Olympics,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18her last event was the 800 metres.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Shall we go for the 800 metres?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Yes.- This for a place in the final.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Is the 800 metres the final discipline in an Olympic heptathlon?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It is.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Well done, Jason.- Thank you.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37You remembered that exactly correctly.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Jessica Ennis's final event at Super Saturday was the 800 metres.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44There are still a couple of impossible answer is left up there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Want to have a crack?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50The one that I would have thought automatically was shot put,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53but I kind of remember Jessica throwing the shot put, not very far,
0:12:53 > 0:12:54so I'd go for discus.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Yeah, absolutely right.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58The shot put's in, the discus isn't.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59And then one other.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I don't know. I'm not that bothered any more, either.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I knew you wouldn't be, Jason.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05You're just thinking about the final. Rightly so.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'll tell you anyway, just for my own peace of mind,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11it's the 100 metres. 100 metres hurdles but not the flat 100.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Take your place in the final. - Thank you.- Well done.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16APPLAUSE
0:13:20 > 0:13:24So there are still two places left in today's final alongside Jason.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Let's find out who's going to be claiming the next one.
0:13:26 > 0:13:2716 of you left in.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Ready? ALL:- Yes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Good luck. Here's your first question.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46All answers out there, but we've got nine Bs.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Let's see if the majority are correct.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Yes. Doctor dre. A point to all of you.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56It does mean that we're going to be losing one or more of you.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Leon. You went Jay Z.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yeah. I mean, I know he's a zapper...
0:14:00 > 0:14:01A zapper? A rapper!
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Yeah, he is a zapper, you're absolutely right, Leon.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06But Ice Cube is, as well.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07The impossible answer...
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Jay Z.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Not a member of NWA.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Has always been a is solo zapper. LAUGHTER
0:14:15 > 0:14:18We'll see you tomorrow.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Question number two.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Overwhelming majority have gone with B, newt.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40But we do have a bat and a badger.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45The right answer, the answer you were looking for...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48is B, newt. So a point to everyone who went for B.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Lateefah, if you sort of get into the mind-set of a witch,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56would you use a bat or a badger?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- I would use a bat.- Interesting.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Huw... Huw, famously would use a badger.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03LAUGHTER
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Just the eye, just the eye.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Don't want to go overboard.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08It would sort of be overpowering, wouldn't it,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- a whole badger?- Yeah.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I don't know. I was engrossed on bat
0:15:15 > 0:15:18cos they use sonar and I just didn't see badger.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Oh, so you're thinking bats can't have eyes.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Yeah, I...
0:15:22 > 0:15:25And then I thought - newt, they're too small to have eyes.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- I'm not, yeah...- The newt is too small to have eyes?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- OK.- I don't know.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Just turn me off. - LAUGHTER
0:15:34 > 0:15:36The impossible answer...
0:15:39 > 0:15:41..was the badger. Doesn't feature in Macbeth
0:15:41 > 0:15:45or in that spell, I'm afraid, Huw. We'll see you tomorrow.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Question number three.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Everyone has gone for a A.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Big crew of Father Brown fans.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Are you right?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Yes. A point to all of you.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Played by Sorcha Cusack.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19And the impossible answer...
0:16:19 > 0:16:24is B, Mrs Hudson, who is Sherlock Holmes' landlady.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Question number four.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41A full spread of answers.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43The answer you should have gone for...
0:16:45 > 0:16:46..C, chia.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48So a point to all of you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52It does mean we are going to be losing one or more of you,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54because we have got a few quinoas and one Pangaea.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57- Steve.- Yes.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Ever just garnished a drink with some Pangaea?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04No. I haven't got a clue what that is,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07so I'm assuming it is the possible one, now.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Don't assume that necessarily, Steve.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Ndaba, you went for quinoa.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Not a big fan. Well, I've never had it, but, it sounds...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- What, so you don't know, Ndaba?- It doesn't sound like it's up my...
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- You might absolutely love it. - It's not up my street.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I like pasta, rice.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24- Solid food.- Fair enough.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Let's go over to our food correspondent. Lateefah.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29LAUGHTER
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Do you like quinoa?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I just felt like it was an edible thing, so that's why I chose it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Well, I can tell you that the impossible answer...
0:17:41 > 0:17:42It is B, Pangaea.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47Pangaea was the huge landmass before all the continents formed.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51You cannot put that in a salad.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54So we say goodbye to you, Steve, I'm afraid.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56See you tomorrow.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Question five.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17So we've got mainly Bs and a few Cs.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19The impossible answer, the want to avoid...
0:18:19 > 0:18:24is A, Aidan Turner, born in Ireland.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Let's see where the points are going.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31B, Idris Elba plays Stringer Bell in The Wire.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34So a point to everyone who went for Stringer Bell.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39So we're finishing around with four of you on the maximum five points.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Haris, Laurence, James and Pam.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46But the quickest to lock in their answers across the round...
0:18:48 > 0:18:49..was Haris.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51APPLAUSE
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Congratulations. You have the second chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Haris, how does it feel to be down here?
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Really good, really good.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Now you're close up with the 10G, what do you reckon?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- What would you do with it? - I'd hopefully use it to go travelling and do a
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- bit of volunteering abroad. - OK, where would you go?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Explore the African continent.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Very vague, but, yeah...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18So what kind of stuff? Doing first aid things, or...?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20First aid things... No, more basic than that,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- building shelters and things like that.- OK.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25And then, hopefully, using a bit of the money to then explore afterwards,
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- so do a bit of both.- All right, you've got a choice of three topics.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33They are history, musical theatre and the UK.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Definitely not musical theatre. I don't think I could do that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:42I'm hoping that I know enough about the UK to maybe get through.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44All right, so you're going to see nine answers.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Here they come.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Early thoughts, Haris?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Yeah, they're like major universities, something like that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Relatively new unis, I think.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08OK. So let's look at the first half of the question.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Which Scottish university...
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- That makes more sense.- Five of those answers are impossible,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18because they aren't Scottish universities.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22You've got five goes and each impossible you successfully eliminate from
0:20:22 > 0:20:24the board will add £100 to the daily prize pot.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27So, where would you like to start?
0:20:27 > 0:20:28De Montfort.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Is De Montfort an impossible answer?
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Yeah. It's in Leicester.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38All right, four goes left.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Where next?- Let's go for Bishop Grossteste.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46Nowhere in Scotland has something so fancy and obscure as a name.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- Hopefully not, anyway.- Is Bishop Grossteste an impossible answer?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56It is. It is in Lincoln.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57- Three goes remaining.- OK.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Edge Hill. For a very similar reason.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04OK. Is Edge Hill an impossible answer?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Edge Hill is in Ormskirk.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Doing very nicely. Two to go.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Newman.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Newman.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- What do you think about Newman? - I'm now doing it by process of exclusion,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20cos I know some that are definitely Scottish.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'm not convinced Newman.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Is Newman an impossible answer?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29It is.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30It's in Birmingham.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33So just one more impossible answer left up there.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- See if we can get rid of it.- So, I was unsure about Newman,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38so I'm sure now about St Mary's.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Yeah?- Yeah, yeah.- St Mary's, which you are sure about.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Is St Mary's an impossible answer?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Wonderful. St Mary's is in Twickenham.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The full £500 added to the prize pot.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It now stands at £800.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Excellent.- Exemplary grid play, Haris.- Cheers.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00But are you going to be playing for that money and a shot at the £10,000?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Depends what the second half of this question is.- It does a bit.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04In a moment, I'm going to reveal that.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- OK.- And then I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10If you find it, you're in the final.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12But if you give me a wrong answer,
0:22:12 > 0:22:17the next best player will have the chance to steal your place in the final.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21I can reveal that that was Laurence.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26There he is, absolutely primed.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28So, no impossible answers left up there.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31You've got rid of them all. So nothing to trip you up.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Let's reveal the full question.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Which Scottish university...
0:22:37 > 0:22:40..is located in Aberdeen?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I'm pretty sure about this one.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Yeah?- OK, I think it's Robert Gordon.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Yeah?- Yeah, yeah.- And why so sure?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Because I can locate the other ones and I think I can locate them all
0:22:52 > 0:22:56and I'm pretty sure. I don't want to say that now and it's wrong, but, hope...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Yeah, Robert Gordon.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Yeah. Robert Gordon. Just go for it. - Yeah, yeah.- All right.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06If Robert Gordon is located in Aberdeen, you are through to the final, Haris.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Is Robert Gordon the right answer?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13It is.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14APPLAUSE
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Do you want to tell me where the others are?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Queen Margaret and Herriot Watt are both in Edinburgh.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Queen Margaret just outside.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And Abertay is Dundee, I think.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Spot on. Well done. You're through to the final.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Just the one place left up for grabs in the final.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Who is it going to be? Only 12 of you are surviving now.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- All ready? ALL:- Yes.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Good luck. Here's your first question...
0:23:56 > 0:24:00The answer you were looking for, the right answer...
0:24:00 > 0:24:02..is C, Boring.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03A point to all of you.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Ndaba, you went for the town in the USA called Tedious.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- I think it's wrong. - Definitely wrong.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17- Oh, yeah.- Cos I've given you the right answer, Ndaba.
0:24:17 > 0:24:23Yeah, it's a bit complex to be a town name, I think, maybe.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24- Lateefah.- Yeah.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26You went for A, Nothing.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Yeah, I just thought it would be a bit awkward to be, like,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32"I'm from Boring." So I didn't really think that was a town.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35So, I thought that was going to be impossible but now I'm not sure.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Well, one of you has given the impossible answer.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44It's Ndaba and Annelies.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48There is no town in the USA called Tedious, I'm afraid.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50So we'll see you both tomorrow.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Nothing is an abandoned town in Arizona.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Question number two.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Seven Bs and three As.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14The right answer...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18A point to everyone who went for B, Ken Bruce.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19And the impossible answer...
0:25:22 > 0:25:23..C, Johnny Vaughan.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Not a Radio 2 DJ.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Simon Mayo is.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28On to question number three.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Pretty even split. All answers out there.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Sue, you've gone for Jeremy Deller.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Yeah, I think John Noakes was on Blue Peter
0:25:51 > 0:25:54and he did have an incident
0:25:54 > 0:25:57with an elephant on the show but I think he might be the impossible one
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- so it's between A and C.- Ryan, that didn't sound like good news for you.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04No, I'm not going to lie to you, that was a complete guess.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Not a John Noakes fan?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08No, no, I'm not an elephant dung fan.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Oh, you surprise me, Ryan.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12LAUGHTER
0:26:12 > 0:26:15So I just went straight down the middle.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Let's see if you have given the impossible answer.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I'm afraid so. John Noakes, as you said, Sue,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Blue Peter presenter who did have an incident with an elephant in the
0:26:25 > 0:26:29studio. Ryan, Lateefah and Laurence, we'll see you all tomorrow.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Let's give out some points.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33The right answer...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36..was A, Chris Ofili.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39So, a point to Kath, Sonia, Pam and James.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40On to question four.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Everyone has gone for A.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Let's see if you're all right.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02You are, so a point to all of you.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03The impossible answer...
0:27:05 > 0:27:08B, plastid, which is found in plants.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13So, going into our final question we have four players on four points.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Get those fingers ready for question five.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Five As and two Cs.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36James, why'd you go with A Doll's House?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- My sister used to have one. - Oh, yeah?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Yeah. Good a reason as any, James.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Well, why not?- Yeah.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43- Pam.- Yes.- You're also in the lead.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45You went with A, The Rivals.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48No, I thought it was Oscar Wilde and I couldn't see any so I thought
0:27:48 > 0:27:51The Rivals seemed right.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52I don't think it's A Doll's House.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I think that's by Ibsen.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Oh, James's little face just dropped then.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00LAUGHTER
0:28:00 > 0:28:06The answer you were trying to avoid, the impossible answer was C,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08A Doll's House, I'm afraid.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Sue and James, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Pam, it is by Ibsen but it's a 19th-century play,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17hence the impossible answer.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Sue and James, we'll see you tomorrow.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22And the right answer...
0:28:22 > 0:28:25was A, so a point to you five.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Which means at the end of that round three of you have finished on
0:28:29 > 0:28:31five points. Kath, Sonia and Pam.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37But the quickest to lock in their answers across the rounds...
0:28:38 > 0:28:39..was Sonia.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40APPLAUSE
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Congratulations, Sonia.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46You have the chance to grab the last place in today's final.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Hello, Sonia.- Hello.- How are you doing?- All right, thanks.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- Sonia, what do you do? - I'm a puzzles editor.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Oh, really?- So I have a few magazines that I have to check the puzzles in them
0:29:01 > 0:29:05and just make sure that all the facts are correct and everything's spelt correctly.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Oh, that's interesting. How did you get into that?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Well, I did English at university so I wanted to do sort of editorial work.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15So, yeah, just got the job and I've been doing it for 15 years now.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Oh, wow. And what about in your spare time, what do you do?
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Well, I've got two children who are five and seven so they take up quite
0:29:21 > 0:29:23a lot of time sort of doing different clubs and things with them.
0:29:23 > 0:29:29- Yeah.- I like going to the gym and I've got a ten-kilometre obstacle course
0:29:29 > 0:29:31coming up so I'll be in training for that soon.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Oh, nice. That's good fun.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35All right, shall we have a look at the topics that are remaining?
0:29:35 > 0:29:36- OK.- They are...
0:29:38 > 0:29:40..history and musical theatre.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44OK, Well, I don't think I'm going to do very well on musical theatre so it'll have to be history.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47OK. More confident in history?
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Yeah, I've just been reading A Short History of England, so, hopefully...
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- Well, let's see.- ..one of the thousands of facts I haven't absorbed will be in there.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Let's have a look at the nine answers.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Any of them in your Short History of England?
0:30:15 > 0:30:21No, cos I think they're US politicians or presidents, one of those.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- OK.- Yeah.- Let's have a look at the first half of the question.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Which military leader in the US Civil War.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- OK.- So, five of those answers are impossible.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38They AREN'T military leaders in the US Civil War.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39You've got five goes.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Yeah.- And each impossible that you successfully eliminate from the board
0:30:43 > 0:30:46will add £100 to the daily prize pot.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Oh, dear me. I read...
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Gone With The wind a few months ago.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54That should help me out, shouldn't it?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Right, I'm going for Ulysses S Grant,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00because I think he was much later on in US history.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Yeah? Is Ulysses S Grant and impossible answer?
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Oh, no.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Oh, dear. That's not a good start.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11No, he was a military leader...
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- OK.- ..in the US Civil War.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I'm going to go next with...
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Reginald D Hunter.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24All right. Is Reginald D Hunter an impossible answer?
0:31:28 > 0:31:33It is. He is an American comedian who works mainly in the UK.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35William S Burroughs.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37William S Burroughs.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Heard of him?
0:31:40 > 0:31:44I'm going to say I think he's a writer but I'm probably completely wrong but...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Let's find out.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Is William S Burroughs an impossible answer?
0:31:53 > 0:31:56He wrote Naked Lunch amongst other things.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Or his bone-crushing?- No.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05He might be a WWF person.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38£400 added to the prize pot.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40It now stands at £1,200.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43And in a moment I'm going to reveal the second half of the question and
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Give me the right answer and you'll be in the final alongside Haris and
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Jason. But if you give me a wrong answer,
0:32:51 > 0:32:54the next best player will have the chance to steal.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57That is Kath.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01There is still an impossible answer up there.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06- OK.- If you give me that, sadly you will be eliminated from today's show.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Shall we have a look at the whole question?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10OK.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Which military leader in the US Civil War...
0:33:14 > 0:33:17..went on to become the 18th US President?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19And I'm looking for the right answer.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21I'm going to go for Ulysses S Grant.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Feeling good about your answer? - Not really.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Is Ulysses S Grant the right answer?
0:33:30 > 0:33:35Yes. Just going to tidy up the grid.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37The last remaining impossible answer.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Want to have a guess? - Stanley Burrell?
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Yes. The real name of MC Hammer.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Well done, you're through to the final.- Thank you.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48APPLAUSE
0:33:52 > 0:33:55For the rest of you, I'm afraid that victory today proved impossible
0:33:55 > 0:33:57but we will see you all again tomorrow.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- Bye for now. ALL:- Bye.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03But for Jason, Haris and Sonia it's time for the final.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Jason, Haris and Sonia,
0:34:08 > 0:34:12you've managed to put £1,200 into today's prize pot
0:34:12 > 0:34:18but only one of you can win that money and the right to face the £10,000 question.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Sonia, what would you spend the money on?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I'd quite like to do a fitness instructor course.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- Uh-huh.- And I'd like to take the family to Iceland as well.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Great. OK, so, a family holiday and maybe become a fitness instructor.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Haris, you want to go to Africa and do some volunteering work.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- Yeah.- Build some villages and stuff like that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- A bit of travelling.- Yeah.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41And Jason's garage is not going to refit itself. LAUGHTER
0:34:41 > 0:34:45You're each going to start with ten lives.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47There they are. The questions are on the buzzer.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52Most of them are normal straightforward questions with normal straightforward answers.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Buzz and get one right, you knock a life off both of your opponents.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Buzz and get one wrong, you lose one of your own lives.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01However, some of the questions are impossible,
0:35:01 > 0:35:03which is to say there is no answer.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05They make no sense, they're illogical.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08If you think you've spotted one of these all you've got to do
0:35:08 > 0:35:11is buzz in and say, "impossible".
0:35:11 > 0:35:14That's bad news for your opponents because they'll both lose two lives.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18But if you say that question's impossible when it isn't,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21or give any other answer to an impossible question,
0:35:21 > 0:35:25it is you that will lose two lives so you do need to be careful.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29The last player standing will take the £1,200.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06with £1,200. £1,200 is lovely,

0:39:12 > 0:39:15Here's how it works. I'm going to show you nine answers and then I'm going to ask you

0:39:18 > 0:39:22If you can find them all within ten seconds you win that £10,000.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25That's the good news.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27The less good news is that three of those answers are wrong.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31If you pick any of those you won't win the ten grand.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34The bad news is that three of the nine answers are impossible.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Give me any of those and you lose the £1,200.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42And I can only accept the first three answers you give.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46If you fail to give me three answers before the ten seconds are up
0:39:46 > 0:39:48you also lose the £1,200.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Whatever happens you are going to be leaving the show today.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57I can tell you that the subject is geography.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Mm? Mm?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- How do you feel?- I'm OK on things like capitals and so on.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06If it's American states I might as well just leave.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- Are you ready?- Yeah, let's do it.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Best of luck.- Thank you. - Here come your nine answers.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32And you're looking for...
0:40:34 > 0:40:36..African countries that lie on the equator.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38And your time starts now.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Angola, Uganda, Somalia.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Locked in the answers pretty quickly, Jason.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Now you look at your answers,
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- fairly happy?- I'm happy they're African.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Play it safe.- OK.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Start down the bottom corner with Uganda.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Is Uganda an African country that lies on the equator?
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Yes, it is. APPLAUSE
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Nip across to Somalia.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Can you imagine where it is on your kind of visual map?
0:41:17 > 0:41:21On the way here I studied a map of Africa for this sort of question and
0:41:21 > 0:41:23it all went, so, no, not at all.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25I don't know if you're joking about the map thing?
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- I'd like to think you aren't. - I'm genuinely being serious. - That's fantastic.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Well, let's see if any of it has stuck.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36Is Somalia an African country that lies on the equator?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38APPLAUSE
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Some of it's gone in, Jason.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Just one more to go.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49You are one answer away from £10,000.
0:41:49 > 0:41:55If Angola is the right answer, the ten grand is yours.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59If it's a wrong answer you keep the daily prize pot of £1,200.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01If it's an impossible answer...
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- ..I'm afraid you'll be leaving with nothing.- Yeah.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09We really don't want to see the impossible exclamation mark.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I'm certain it's definitely an African country.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17OK. Let's see, is Angola an African country that lies on the equator?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24It's not.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29But it is an African country so you've won yourself £1,200, Jason.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32APPLAUSE
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Which I think will get like the roof done on the garage, at least.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- A little bit.- And then maybe a little holiday as well.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Angola is actually in the southern hemisphere.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43The answer you were looking for was Gabon.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Tonga and Laos both impossible.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Sudan is an African country.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- So it's Aruba.- Aruba was the other impossible.
0:42:52 > 0:42:53Jason, well done. £1,200.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Thank you very much for playing Impossible.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- Thank you very much. - Cheers.- Thank you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:00So, Jason leaves us with £1,200.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03The rest of us will be back tomorrow when someone else
0:43:03 > 0:43:05will have the chance to win ten grand.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09This has been Impossible, the quiz where, actually, anything is possible.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Goodbye.
