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 > 0:00:13APPLAUSE
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Welcome to Impossible, the quiz with the third dimension.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,
0:00:19 > 0:00:21but here we also have impossible answers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24They are not just wrong, they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hoping to get lots of right answers, while dodging those pesky
0:00:27 > 0:00:31impossible answers, are 24 players. Hello, players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- Hello! - Nice crew.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Every day, one of them will have the chance to unlock this.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Our impossibly big exclamation mark is filled with 10,000 lovely
0:00:43 > 0:00:47pound coins. At the end of each show one of dynamic double dozen
0:00:47 > 0:00:50will face the final question, and here...
0:00:52 > 0:00:56..it is. Today's £10,000 question.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Get this right, and all of that money comes tumbling down.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04We are at the halfway point of your two-week stint.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Still waiting for that £10,000 moment.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Let's make sure that today is the day.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Our new player is William.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Hello, William. - Hi.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13- How are you doing? - Yeah, good.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Party shirt, William.- Love it. - Very nice. What do you do, William?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I am currently studying at the Open University.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I am doing a criminology degree.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27And I'm also studying to be a disability sprint coach.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32OK. So, what made you go into education so late, William?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37I have three grown-up children who have done degrees...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And you thought, "Anything they can do..."
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I always thought, "If they've got it, I'm going to do it.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Enjoying it?- Yeah, it's really good, really hard, but really good.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Best of luck. Nice to have you on the show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Thank you. - Annelies.- Hello, Rick.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51How have you been getting on down there on the front row?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The front row is about team cohesion and about everyone being friends,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56but we're not good at winning,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00so this time, we're going to try really hard and win.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04OK. And you're confident today could be the day for either you or someone
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- on the front row? - I am confident, yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- I like that confidence. - Yeah.- What do you do, Annelies?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I am a student at Durham University, a second-year student.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- And what are you studying?- Sports Science with English Literature,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18so I would quite like to go into sports journalism.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Right, OK. And what do you do to kick back and relax?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25I quite - like everyone here - I quite like going on holiday.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27One time I went to Ireland for, like, two hours
0:02:27 > 0:02:30just because it was cheap Ryanair flights.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33We had a great time. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Dublin
0:02:33 > 0:02:37so we didn't really see Dublin, but it was fun.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Fairly eccentric stuff from you, Annelies!
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- Yeah.- This is Jackie, our British sign language interpreter.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48She is working with Asif.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Good luck to everyone. Let's crack on.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54You will face five multiple-choice questions, each with three answers.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56The right answers scores you a point,
0:02:56 > 0:02:57the wrong answer scores you nothing,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00but if you choose the impossible answer...
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Oh, no! You will immediately be knocked out of today's show,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and you will have to come back next week.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09After five questions, the highest scorer gets the first chance to bag
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- a place in today's final. Everyone ready?- Yes.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Here's your first question.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Very nearly all sticking together.
0:03:30 > 0:03:3223 Bs,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35and just the one C.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36The right answer...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40..is B, so 23 of you get a point.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Asif, you went for C, Dubrovnik.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49You've done your own thing. Have you avoided the impossible answer?
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Well, I don't know.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I should have pressed B, but it was too late. I pressed C.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Why did you go for C? Just sort of panic?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, yeah, panic, and time was against me, so I just pressed it.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Well, I can tell you that the impossible answer...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14..is C. Dubrovnik is not the capital.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Zagreb is the capital of Croatia, where Dubrovnik is.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22So at this very early stage, Asif, we have to say goodbye.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Have a lovely weekend. We will see you on Monday.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Question two.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45So we have 20 As and three Cs.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48The correct answer...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52is A, Narcissus. A point to everyone who went for A.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Steve - Icarus.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Yes. I know he is in mythology,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58so I don't think it's the impossible answer.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00A toss-up between A and C.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Ndaba. - Pretty much same as Steve, really.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06OK, the impossible answer, which you both think you've avoided...
0:05:08 > 0:05:12..is B, Atalanta, who was a woman from classic mythology.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Question number three.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Most of you have gone for B,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35then we have got an almost even split between As and Cs.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37The answer you should have gone for...
0:05:38 > 0:05:41..is B, The Prisoner. A point to everyone who went for that.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Leon.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Because I'm Welsh, I should really know this.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Have you been to Portmeirion? - I haven't, no.- Know where it is?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Yes.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Good. Good. Dorothy.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- I've picked the impossible answer. - Why have you done that, Dorothy?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Hi-De-Hi was in the '80s or the '90s I think, so I've boobed.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Well, the impossible answer...
0:06:11 > 0:06:14..was C, as you say, Dorothy.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20Hi-De-Hi was set in 1959 and 1960, but was very much a 1980s sitcom,
0:06:20 > 0:06:25meaning we have to say goodbye to Dorothy, Lindy, Ndaba, Sue and Huw.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27See you all next week.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Question number four.
0:06:41 > 0:06:4515 Cs, and just three Bs. The right answer...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50..is C. So a point to all of you.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Lucille. - Should have put C, but...
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Unquestionably.- Yeah, but I'm hoping Swahili is a language,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- and not just a dialect. - What do you think about Djembe?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I'm hoping it's not a language.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I don't know what it is, though. - Well, the impossible answer...
0:07:10 > 0:07:14..is A, Djembe. Not a language - it's a West African drum,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18so you survive. 18 of you still in play.
0:07:18 > 0:07:2213 of you are on a maximum four points.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Last question of this round.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41All answers represented.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Haris.- Rick.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46How are you feeling about Tagus?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I think it's definitely not, I don't know...
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I don't think that is a river,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52it's some Latin name for something I should probably know.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I don't know. Guessed it, as you can see.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Laurence. - Sorry to say this to Haris, but
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I think Tigris and Euphrates are the two rivers that run through Iraq.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The impossible answer...
0:08:06 > 0:08:07is A, Tagus,
0:08:07 > 0:08:13which means we have to say goodbye to Steve, Haris, Lateefah, and Leon.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Tagus is a river that flows through Spain and Portugal.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Let's see where the points are going. The right answer...
0:08:23 > 0:08:28..B, Tigris. Everyone who went for B gets a point,
0:08:28 > 0:08:33and we finish with nine contestants on a maximum five points.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37But the quickest to lock in their answers across the round...
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- was Alison. - Oh, my goodness!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42APPLAUSE Congratulations, Alison,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45you have the first chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- So, Alison.- Yes. - The top row domination continues.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57What are they putting in the water up there?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I think I'm getting their reflected genius because there are some
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- very clever people up there.- Just by sort of like an osmosis effect.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It is, yes. I hope it sticks, yes.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09What do you do in your spare time, Alison?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13I like sailing, I like walking. I'm also in an amateur dramatic group.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- Oh, are you?- Yes, I'm not the best actress, but I love stage-managing,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21so I'm really in my element here, because I've never been in
0:09:21 > 0:09:24a TV studio before, and I'm just loving the whole...
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- It's nice, isn't it?- Oh, it's amazing, the whole process.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I want my life again. I know where I'd try to get a job.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- It's not too late, Alison. - It is.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Honestly, we'll sack the floor manager here in an instant.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40It's not a problem. OK, this is your chance to put up to £500
0:09:40 > 0:09:44into the daily prize pot and take a massive step
0:09:44 > 0:09:46towards playing the £10,000 question.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I'm going to give you a choice of four topics.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Let's hope one of the topics appeals.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Oh, no!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Television, Books and Literature, Pop Music, and The Bible.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Definitely not Pop Music. No way. - OK.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I don't think the Bible. My knowledge is not good enough.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Books and Literature. - Yeah?- Well...
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Yes. - Best of a bad bunch?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I'll do my best, yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- I'm going to show you nine answers. - Mm-hm.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Here they come. All relating to Books and Literature.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- It's getting worse. - Is it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- I was hoping it might be getting a bit better.- No. I don't...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I have no idea what this is about.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41All right. Let's have a look at the first half of the question.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Which word coined by Lewis Carroll...?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46So five of those are impossible
0:10:46 > 0:10:49because they weren't coined by Lewis Carroll.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51You'll have five goes. Where shall we start?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I'm going to go for...
0:10:55 > 0:10:59chillax, because it sounds like a really modern phrase.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04It could be Lewis Carroll, but it just sounds too modern.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07OK, chillax sounds a bit modern.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Is chillax an impossible answer?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Yep. A very recent term, formed by combining "chill" and "relax".
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Yes. I think for the same reason, I'm going to go for bromance,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25because I think that's also a very modern term.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28OK. Is bromance an impossible answer?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33APPLAUSE Another very recent word.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I like all of them. They sound fun, don't they?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38They are all fun.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43I think I will go for smog, because I think it's a real word.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I'm going to go for smog.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Yeah?- Yeah. - Is smog an impossible answer?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53APPLAUSE
0:11:53 > 0:11:57So smog is an early 20th-century word formed from smoke and fog.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Yes, I thought it was something real.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I keep looking at "lickwishy," because it sounds a bit rude.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Is that why you keep looking at it, Alison?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Lickswishy, isn't it? I'll go for lickswishy.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12The one you think sounds a little bit rude.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Well, it's sort of got a little bit of a naughty name.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Is lickswishy an impossible answer?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22APPLAUSE
0:12:24 > 0:12:30Created by Roald Dahl, it describes the taste of English boys to giants,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- in The BFG. So not that naughty. - No.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Four from four. £400 in the daily prize pot.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I'm going to go for...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Oh, dear, it's so hard.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- ..muggle. - Is muggle an impossible answer?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Oh, my goodness!- Yes. APPLAUSE
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Five from five, Alison. Very good.- Yes.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Muggle is a term used in the Harry Potter books meaning someone
0:13:00 > 0:13:02who is without magical powers.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04So we are muggles. Well, I am, I don't know about you.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- Right now I feel quite... - Yeah. Not a muggle!- Not a muggle!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11We know that you've eliminated all of the impossible answers.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- You've got £500 in the daily prize pot.- That's nice.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16But are you going to be playing for that money and a shot at
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- the £10,000 question in today's final?- Hope so.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22In a moment, I'll reveal the second half of the question,
0:13:22 > 0:13:23and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- If you give me the right answer, you're in the final.- Wow!
0:13:26 > 0:13:31But if you give me a wrong answer, the next best player will have
0:13:31 > 0:13:33the chance to steal your place in the final.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37And I can reveal that that player was Hazel.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Excellent reaction, Hazel.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Thank you. - You are in a strong position here.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Would you like to have a look at the full question?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Which word coined by Lewis Carroll...
0:13:52 > 0:13:56appears in the first line of his poem, Jabberwocky?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Slithy.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- You're happy about that, are you? - I think it was in Jabberwocky.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Yes.- Yes?- Yes, I am. Lock it in.- OK.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Does slithy appear in the first line of Lewis Carroll's poem,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Jabberwocky? For a place in the final.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Absolutely! APPLAUSE
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Perfect grid, Alison. Do you know the first line?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Oh, something about "gyre and gimble"...
0:14:23 > 0:14:24- I've got it written down here. - Go for it.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28"'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves."
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Toes.- Toves.- Oh, toves.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35And slithy is a sort of portmanteau of lithe and slimy.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I shall stick to stage management, not acting.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Sure.- Yeah.- Sure. It doesn't matter.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You are through to the final, Alison.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43APPLAUSE
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Still two places left in today's final alongside Alison.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Let's find out who is going to be claiming the next one.
0:14:53 > 0:14:5513 of you left. Are you all ready?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Yes.- Good luck. Here's your first question.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13All but one of you has gone for A.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Let's see if the majority are correct.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19They are. Points for all of you.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Pam, you went for Reepicheep.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Must be the cheeping bird.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Let's see if you've avoided the impossible answer.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32You have. He was a real-life Galapagos tortoise.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Tortoise. - Question number two.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53So we have eight Cs, four Bs, and just the one A.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57William. You've gone for B, Epley manoeuvre.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I always thought that vertigo was caused by heights.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04So I thought it might be spinning someone round or twisting them,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06so they get their equilibrium a bit better.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Feeling good about that, Bernie?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm wondering if it's a skiing move now,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13but I went on the basis that vertigo is about height and it's a turn,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16so similar thinking to William, just a slightly different answer.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19And Lawrence, you've gone with precordial thump.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Well, I wondered if it was a medical procedure, because my brother is
0:16:24 > 0:16:27training to be a doctor, and he did a practice medical exam on me.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It seems to involve a lot of tapping me and stuff like that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Ah. Maybe he was just easing you in with a bit of precordial tapping.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- LAUGHTER - Yeah!
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Let's see. The right answer...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42..is B, the Epley manoeuvre.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45So William, Harvey, Hazel and Annelies get a point.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48The Epley manoeuvre, as you suggested, William,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51involves moving someone around in order to rebalance their inner ear.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55So we know we're either going to be saying goodbye to a lot of you,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58or just Laurence. The impossible answer...
0:17:01 > 0:17:04..is C, Immelman Turn.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08The Immelman turn is an aerobatic manoeuvre.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Carnage on this top row!
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Say goodbye to Simon, Bernie, and Pam,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Sonia, Clair, Kim, Izhan, and Lucille.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19See you all next week.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Next question.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39We have three Cs and two As.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42The top row have all gone C.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Annelies, you've gone with A.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I've gone with A for Annelies.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49LAUGHTER
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Might work.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Laurence has also gone with A for Annelies.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Yeah, Annelies is doing well today,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59so I thought it would be a good idea to ride along with her.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Let's see if you have avoided the impossible answer.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07You haven't, I'm afraid.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Ritchie Blackmore is not a drummer, he is a guitarist.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Laurence and Annelies, we will see you next week.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Let's see if our three on the top row still left in
0:18:17 > 0:18:19have given the right answer.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Of course they have. C, Ginger Baker.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Hazel, Harvey and William get a point.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28John Bonham was the drummer for Led Zeppelin.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Question number four.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47No agreement up there.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Hazel, you've gone with A, The Subtle Knife.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I know that is one of the three,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55but whether it is the last one, or not...
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- I know which is wrong. - Oh, do you? Go on, tell me.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Heart Of Darkness is impossible.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Just skip straight over to you, I think, William.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04You've gone with Heart Of Darkness.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I had no idea at all. And it had Dark Materials,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10and it had darkness, I just joined the two up,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- wrongly.- Yeah, well, according to Hazel, but maybe not.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Harvey, familiar with these books?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Not at all, Rick. It was an absolute pure guess,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21diddle for middle, with that one.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25OK, well, one of you has given the impossible answer.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Hazel thinks she knows which one it is. Let's see.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35It is C, Heart Of Darkness, which is a novella by Joseph Conrad.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- William, we'll see you next week. - Bye.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Now, which of you two has given the right answer?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I can tell you it is...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49..B, The Amber Spyglass.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Harvey, you get a point.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Question number five.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10You've both given the same answer, A.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Let's check you haven't given the impossible answer.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17That was Oswald The Lucky Rabbit.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Not a marionette, an animated character.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22And the right answer...
0:20:22 > 0:20:25is what you've given. A, Muffin The Mule.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29So a point to Hazel, a point to Harvey, which means that, Harvey,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32you've finished on five points, and you have the next chance
0:20:32 > 0:20:33to grab a place in today's final.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36APPLAUSE
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Hello again, Harvey. - We meet again, Rick.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44We do, we do. We were here on Tuesday. It didn't quite work out.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Is it going to be better this time? - I would hope so,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48but just pleased to be here, to be honest.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- I'm pleased to have you, Harvey. - A good achievement. Twice.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54So, if you were to win the £10,000, I know you want to take your
0:20:54 > 0:20:59grandkids on a plane for the first time, but what about for yourself?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Anything you'd really like to do?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Well, for ourselves, it's my wife's 70th birthday next year,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08and it will be also our golden wedding anniversary the year after.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Right.- So it isn't like a... - Would be a nice way to...
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Do a combo? - Yeah.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Where would you head?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17We love cruising, so it would be somewhere nice.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20A nice cruise. Probably the Caribbean, to be honest.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Right, should we have a look at the three topics?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Yeah, that would be a good idea.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Television, Pop Music, and The Bible.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31If my wife was with me here, she would be saying The Bible.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- She is quite a churchgoer. - Unfortunately, I'm not,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37but looking at those three,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I think I would have a better chance with that than the other ones,
0:21:40 > 0:21:41so I will go for The Bible.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43OK, going for The Bible, and your wife will be pleased.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45She will be very pleased, yeah.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48OK. Here are your nine answers relating to The Bible.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Sort of thing you were hoping for, Harvey?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05This isn't the competition where you can phone a friend, is it?
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Unfortunately not, no.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I'm not looking too good, Rick, but anyway...
0:22:09 > 0:22:12We can build in a kind of "Phone Your Wife" element to the game.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14That's what I was thinking.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17So, the first half of the question, then...
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Which character in the King James version of the Old Testament...?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24So we're looking for ones that are not in the Old Testament.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Pontius Pilate.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Is Pontius Pilate an impossible answer?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36APPLAUSE
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Yes, it is. - I will go for Barabbas.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Barabbas. Is Barabbas an impossible answer?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51APPLAUSE
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Barabbas is a prisoner in the New Testament,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58released instead of Jesus.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I think my Biblical knowledge is coming to an abrupt end.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I will go for Joseph of Arimathea.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Joseph of Arimathea. Is that an impossible answer?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17APPLAUSE
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Yeah, another New Testament character.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yeah. I think Lazarus was...
0:23:21 > 0:23:24disciple kind of person from that era.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Lazarus. - Lazarus?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Yeah. - Is Lazarus an impossible answer?
0:23:32 > 0:23:33APPLAUSE
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Yeah. Another New Testament figure.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Four from four. Your wife is going to be delighted.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40She is going to be absolutely delighted.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Gideon.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Gideon. For a clean sweep, five from five,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50is Gideon an impossible answer?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54No. Fair enough.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00Sadly not. But £400 into the prize pot, which now stands at £900.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03But are you going to be playing for that money and a shot at
0:24:03 > 0:24:05the £10,000 question in today's final?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10and I will be looking for the right answer.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- OK.- Give me the right answer - you are in the final with Alison.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- Yeah. - Give me a wrong answer,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19and the next best player has a chance to steal your place
0:24:19 > 0:24:22in the final. That was Hazel.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25The only player left standing.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30What do you think, Hazel? Good area for you?
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Not bad.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I think I know which the other impossible answer is,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38but it depends on the question for the other ones.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Of course. There is, as Hazel says,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43an impossible answer still up there.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46If you were to give me that, you would be eliminated
0:24:46 > 0:24:49from today's show, Harvey, and we will see you next week.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Let's reveal the full question.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Which character in the King James version of the Old Testament
0:24:59 > 0:25:02led the Israelite army at the Battle of Jericho?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Yeah, I think I've got a recollection of a hymn,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I think it was Joshua who fought the battle of Jericho.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Joshua.- Joshua? - Joshua. Yeah, go for it.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Is Joshua the right answer?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22It is. APPLAUSE
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Well chuffed there. - The hymn helped you out.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Well chuffed there, yeah.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34The remaining impossible answer is Caiaphas.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Well done, Harvey. You're through to the final.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Hazel, you are the only player left in...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Apparently. - ..as we move on to round three.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50This is a bit more like Mastermind now.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- It is, actually, yes. - All you have to do, Hazel,
0:25:53 > 0:25:58is get an answer right, and you will come down to play a grid.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02OK. However, if you give an impossible answer,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05then everyone will come back in play.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- They've all been bribing me. - I'll bet they have, Hazel.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11- Are you ready? - I'm ready.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14All right, here is your first question.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- What do you think, then? - Not a clue.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Total guess? - Pure guess, pure guess.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34OTHER CONTESTANTS MURMUR
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Yeah, OK! You're back in.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You can't be surprised, Hazel.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Let's see if you've given the impossible answer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50You haven't.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Reshiram is the name of a Pokemon character.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Of course! - So now it is 50-50.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01If you've got it right, you are coming down to play the grid.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03If you've got it wrong, we move on to the next question.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Let's see what the right answer was.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12It was C, Sarasvati! APPLAUSE
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Congratulations, you're coming down to play a grid.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Yes! - APPLAUSE
0:27:25 > 0:27:26- Well done, Hazel. - Thank you.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Quite a straightforward round for you in the end.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Yeah, difficult question, but I'm glad I got the right answer.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Well guessed, Hazel. - Thank you. I do that well.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Who is going to be watching at home, Hazel? Anyone?- My family.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43I've got an aged mother, 92.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Two daughters and family.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Do they know you as being a good quizzer, Hazel?
0:27:48 > 0:27:54Yes. As a family, we always do quizzes at family get-togethers.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58My sister is usually the quiz master, but, yeah.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- And you too do well in the quizzes, Hazel?- Not bad, not bad.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Yeah. But we are very competitive as a family.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07That should help here, I think.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Just two topics remaining, Hazel. - Yes.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14They are Television and Pop Music.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15It's got to be Television.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Yeah? Definitely?- Yeah. - All right, then.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22You are going to see nine answers all related to television,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24and the answers are...
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- Good.- Good?- I think! - Oh, go on - what do you think?
0:28:41 > 0:28:48Because it's American comedy shows, so we'll see how we go.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52All right. Let's have a look at the first half of the question.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Which character from the sitcom, Cheers...?
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- Did you used to watch Cheers? - Absolutely.- Good.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Five of those answers are impossible because they are not characters
0:29:04 > 0:29:06from Cheers. Where would you like to start?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I will start with Sheldon Cooper, please.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10My favourite character from Big Bang Theory.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Is Sheldon Cooper an impossible answer?
0:29:15 > 0:29:16Yes.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Absolutely spot on, from The Big Bang Theory.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I've sat in his seat. His special seat.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- No! Not his spot! - Yes. Yes, I have.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- I hope he oiked you out. - He did, yes.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Good. - OK. Where next?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32OK. Carlton Banks, please.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Carlton Banks. Who do you think he is?
0:29:35 > 0:29:39I can't think of the name of the show, but he was a son.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42OK. Is Carlton Banks an impossible answer?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46APPLAUSE
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- From The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. - Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, of course.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Two down, three to go.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53OK. Darlene Conner.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Darlene Conner. Where is she from?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I think she's from Roseanne.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Is Darlene Conner an impossible answer?
0:30:04 > 0:30:05APPLAUSE
0:30:05 > 0:30:07She is the younger daughter in Roseanne.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I'm going to go for Latka Gravas.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- I've never heard of Latka Gravas. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18OK. Latka Gravas - is that an impossible answer?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22APPLAUSE
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Yes. That is Andy Kaufman's character from Taxi.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27So, George Costanza.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30George Costanza, from...?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I haven't a clue!
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Not a problem. Is George Costanza an impossible answer?
0:30:39 > 0:30:40APPLAUSE
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- Very good, Hazel. From Seinfeld. - Thank you, thank you!
0:30:44 > 0:30:46OK. Never watched that, so that's good.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47- Check it out, you'll like it. - Yeah, OK.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51£500 added to the prize pot, which now stands at £1,400.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Excellent.- So in a moment I'll reveal the second half of
0:30:54 > 0:30:57the question, and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00If you find it, a place in the final is yours.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Give me a wrong answer, and the last player to be eliminated will have
0:31:04 > 0:31:07the chance to steal your place in the final.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10It was way back in round two, but I can tell you that was William.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- Yes.- Stand by, William.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Watched much Cheers, William?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Yeah. I did know all them, funnily enough.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19- Bit of competition there. - Yep.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22So, should we have a look at the full question?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Which character from the sitcom Cheers...
0:31:25 > 0:31:27is a practising psychiatrist?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Frasier Crane.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36Frasier Crane. Is Frasier Crane a practising psychiatrist?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40He is! APPLAUSE
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- Very well done, Hazel.- Thank you. - You're through to the final.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- Excellent. Thank you very much. - APPLAUSE
0:31:50 > 0:31:53For the rest of you, I'm afraid that victory today proved impossible,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55but we will see you all again next week.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Bye for now. - Bye!
0:31:58 > 0:32:01But, for Alison, Harvey and Hazel, it's time for the final.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03APPLAUSE
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Alison, Harvey and Hazel - battle of the top row.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Over £1,400 which is in today's prize pot.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Only one of you can win that money, and the right to face
0:32:17 > 0:32:21the £10,000 question. You are each going to start with ten lives.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Questions are on the buzzer,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27and most of them are normal, straightforward questions
0:32:27 > 0:32:29with normal, straightforward answers.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Buzz and get one right, you knock a life off both of your opponents.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Buzz and get one wrong, it's you that loses a life.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38However, some of the questions are impossible,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41which is to say they have no answer.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44They make no sense, they are illogical, they are preposterous.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46If you think you've spotted one of these,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49all you have to do is buzz in and say, "Impossible".
0:32:51 > 0:32:54That's doubly bad news for your opponents because they will
0:32:54 > 0:32:58both lose two lives. But be warned - if you say a question is impossible
0:32:58 > 0:33:02and it isn't, or give any other answer to an impossible question,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05it is you who loses two lives.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09The last player standing will take the £1,400.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- Ready?- Yes.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Good luck to you all. Let's start.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38It was Tammy Wynette. Harvey and Hazel lose a life.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44How many months of the year have exactly 30 days?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Hazel. - 11. Oh!
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- No, Hazel. Quite a way off. Four. - Yes.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52You lose another life.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57On which French island is Mount Etna?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Impossible, it's Italy.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03It is impossible. It's in Sicily, Italy.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15- Harvey.- Cannes. - It is Cannes.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Hazel and Alison lose a life.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21About time you lost a life, really, Alison.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- That's it. Slippery slope now. - Don't think like that!
0:34:25 > 0:34:30From which English football club did Real Madrid sign Gareth Bale
0:34:30 > 0:34:31in 2013? Harvey.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Tottenham Hotspur.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36It was Tottenham Hotspur. Alison and Hazel lose a life.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40What is the name of Mercury's largest moon?
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- Alison.- Impossible.- It is impossible. It has no moons.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Hazel and Harvey lose two lives.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Hazel, I'm afraid you are down on one life.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Yeah. I'm not doing well here.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Harvey is on four, Alison is on eight.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59The remains of Richard II were unearthed...? Alison.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Leicester.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02..unearthed in 2012 in which city?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05It's impossible, it was Richard III.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Oh, of course it was! - Alison, you lose two lives.- Yes.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15In which East Anglian County is the Sizewell B Nuclear Power...?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Used to work there - Suffolk.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19..Nuclear Power Station located?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22It is Suffolk. Harvey, you lose a life.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Hazel, I'm afraid you lose your last remaining life and you are
0:35:25 > 0:35:29out of the game. Harvey, you've got a bit of work to do here.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30In the card game, bridge,

0:35:49 > 0:35:54Which Andrew Lloyd Webber musical features the song, Seasons Of Love?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- Alison. - Impossible.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00It is impossible. It's from the musical Rent, by Jonathan Larson.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Harvey, you lose two lives.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Just about still in it on one life.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22Said it casually, but it's right!

0:36:43 > 0:36:46It is impossible. It's in Mexico.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Harvey, you lose your last life, I'm afraid.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Harvey and Hazel, commiserations. You are back in the pack next week.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55But, Alison, it's time to face the £10,000 question.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58APPLAUSE
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Very well done, Alison. You are today's winner with £1,400.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12£1,400 is great, but you could be leaving with a whole lot more
0:37:12 > 0:37:16if you can answer the £10,000 question.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19We know that if you did get that money you'd be going on this trip
0:37:19 > 0:37:21to New Zealand to see some of your family members,
0:37:21 > 0:37:23maybe take some other family members with you.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Are you quite widely travelled already?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Yeah. I love travelling, yes.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Now that I'm retired, I travel a lot, yes.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Where's your favourite place? Where have you been recently?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35It's always the next one, I think.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I was in Oman. Camping in the desert in Oman.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40That was my last trip, it was lovely.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- Did you see any oryx? - No, no.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Saw very little wildlife, but it was just...
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Absolutely beautiful, the sand dunes and so on.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50And the people. It was a wonderful holiday, yeah.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53So this is how it's going to work, Alison.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56I'm going to show you nine answers, and then ask you a question.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Three of the nine answers are correct.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02If you can find them all within ten seconds, you win the ten grand.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06That's the good news. The less good news is that three of the nine
0:38:06 > 0:38:10answers are wrong. Pick any of those and you won't win the ten grand.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14The bad news is that three of the nine answers are impossible.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17If you give any of those, you lose the £1,400.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21I can only accept the first three answers you give me.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24If you fail to give me three answers before the ten seconds are up,
0:38:24 > 0:38:27you also lose the £1,400.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Whatever happens, you are going to be leaving the show today.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Have you had a good time, Alison?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36I've had the time of my life, and I'm really sorry to leave.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- If I take that with me... - That will sweeten the pill!
0:38:39 > 0:38:41It would sweeten the pill, but I've made lovely friends,
0:38:41 > 0:38:45and this has just been a wonderful show to be on.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50First TV show, and I feel I've been really lucky just to be here.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53It's been an absolute pleasure having you on the show, Alison.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Thank you.- We want you to be leaving, of course, with the money.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- So do I. - That's the aim.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Any subject that you are particularly hoping for?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Geography is probably my best subject.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Some politics, but if it's sort of pop culture,
0:39:07 > 0:39:11TV, I'm really bad at that.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14All you can do is do your best, Alison.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18We all are rooting for you. I can tell you that the subject...
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- ..is Sport. - Oh, no.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- That's bad. That is bad. - Oh, yes.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Bye-bye.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Don't wave goodbye to it yet. Are you ready?
0:39:30 > 0:39:31Yes.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Best of luck. Stay calm.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Do you want to see the nine answers?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41OK. Here they come.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04And you are looking for...
0:40:06 > 0:40:10..Aintree Grand National winning horses that have won the race
0:40:10 > 0:40:14since the year 2000. And your time starts now.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Frankel...
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Mon Mome...
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Maori Venture.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I hadn't a clue.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33I know that Red Rum has won it, but I thought maybe much further,
0:40:33 > 0:40:37much earlier, and I think Desert Orchid I'd heard of,
0:40:37 > 0:40:39but I thought that was the Derby.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41I don't know. And Shergar is the one that disappeared, wasn't it?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- I think that was way, way back. - Tough grid for you.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It was a terrible grid!
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Let's start down in the bottom corner with Mon Mome.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53All guesses, really?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57They were names I feel I've heard of.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59I don't know, it could be any of them.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01It really was.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03I like Maori Venture because it's got kind of
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- New Zealand connection. - Yes.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08But, no.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Rings vague bells.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15All right. Is Mon Mome a right answer?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Oh, my goodness! - It is.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:24A good start.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Won in 2009 at odds of 100-1.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30You were tempted by Maori Venture
0:41:30 > 0:41:32because of the New Zealand connection.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Yeah. - Let's have a look.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Is Maori Venture a right answer?
0:41:46 > 0:41:51It's not. Maori Venture won in 1987.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56So at this stage you are holding on to the daily prize pot,
0:41:56 > 0:42:01and we don't want to see an Impossible exclamation mark
0:42:01 > 0:42:02on this third answer.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Let's have a look and see if Frankel is a right answer.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Oh!
0:42:16 > 0:42:19It's not, it's an impossible answer.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20I'm sorry, Alison.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23That does mean you are going to leave us with nothing.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Thank you so much for playing the game with us.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27It's been a real pleasure having you on the show.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30It's still been great fun. Thank you.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Frankel is a flat-racing horse, never ran the Grand National.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39The answers you were looking for - Don't Push It won in 2010,
0:42:39 > 0:42:44- and Numbersixvalverde won in 2006. - OK.
0:42:44 > 0:42:50The other impossible answers were Shergar, which I think you knew,
0:42:50 > 0:42:51and Desert Orchid.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55You have been a fantastic contestant.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56I'm so glad you've had a nice time.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59I'm sorry you're not leaving with any money.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01APPLAUSE
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Sadly, Alison leaves empty handed.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07The rest of us will be back next week, when someone else will have
0:43:07 > 0:43:10the chance to win ten grand. This has been Impossible,
0:43:10 > 0:43:13the quiz where, actually, anything is possible. Goodbye.
