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

Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,

but here 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! CONTESTANTS:

-Hello!

In fine voice today.

Every day, one of them will have the chance to unlock this.

-CONTESTANTS:

-Ooh!

If there were a zoo for punctuation marks - big if -

this would be the giraffe, by which I mean the best.

It's filled with 10,000 pound coins.

At the end of each show, one of this lot will face the final question.

And here...

..it is -

today's £10,000 question. Get this right

and all that money comes out of that giraffe, down into that.

Yesterday, we finally broke our jackpot duck,

as Pam left with £10,000.

Lovely birthday present for her.

Taking her place is Jane. How are you?

-I'm good, thank you.

-What do you do, Jane?

I'm semi-retired, but a part-time actress and property developer,

-so...

-Oh, yeah? What kind of stuff have you acted in, Jane?

Mainly sort of adverts, shopping channel things,

a couple of documentaries.

Any little bits that come along that pay me, I will do.

Oh, noted, Jane!

LAUGHTER

What would you spend the £10,000 on if you got it, Jane?

I want a painting studio, so I want a cabin in my back garden,

so I can paint, because I'm fed up with the long winters

and I can't paint indoors.

OK. Well, best of luck. Great to have you on the show, Jane.

Sadly, Jake is unwell.

Get well soon, Jake, if you're watching.

His place is taken by James. Hello, James!

-Nice to be here.

-What do you do, James?

I was in refrigeration for many years.

-Oh, yeah?

-But it was a bit cold.

Oh, James. What do you do now?

I'm hoping to get back into golf.

-Oh, yeah?

-I used to play many years ago.

-Uh-huh.

-But now I'm retired,

and I think I can maybe swing the clubs again.

Well, lovely to have you here, James, best of luck for the show.

Uh, Clair!

Don't look so shocked, Clair. SHE LAUGHS

I talk to everyone and it's your turn!

Are we going to see you down here in the grid area, Clair?

In fact, I was saying to Kym that, uh,

actually, it's damage limitation up here.

What's the aim then? To get through one, into round two?

-To get past question two would be really, really good.

-Past question two.

-Well, best of luck today, Clair.

-Yeah,

-I'll go for question three.

-Let's see if we can get through to question three.

-Yeah, yeah!

And Jackie, of course, our British Sign Language interpreter,

who works with Asif, is also with us.

Good luck to everyone. Here's your first question!

We've got 21 Bs, and three As.

The right answer...

..is B, John Lennon. So a point to all the Bs.

Ndaba, have you eliminated yourself already?

-No.

-Good.

LAUGHTER

The impossible answer...

..is C, George Hamilton.

You were right, Ndaba.

George Hamilton not a member of the Beatles.

George Hamilton is an American actor.

Let's move on to question two.

All answers out there, mainly As and Cs.

Bernie, have you read Watership Down?

No, but I have read another Richard Adams book called Maia,

which is very, very rude.

And relevant at all?

No, not at all. But I thought I'd say that,

just in case you were going to ask.

Why'd you go for Fiver?

Because I think Thumper's a Disney character,

Hazel doesn't sound like a male rabbit, so I went for Fiver.

Mmm.

James, Bernie's saying that she thinks Thumper

might be a Disney rabbit.

Uh, Thumper, now I realise that that's the wrong one.

Ahh. The impossible answer...

..is B, Thumper.

Thumper is the rabbit from Bambi.

James and William, we'll see you tomorrow!

The right answer...

..to the As!

Hazel is a male rabbit, everyone that went for Hazel gets a point.

Question number three.

All answers out there, most of you have gone with B.

Is that the right answer?

Yes, Doctor Who.

Clair.

On an absolute roll.

My work here is done!

Not quite, Clair.

I mean, you can just retire if you want...

-I'll take what I can get.

-..undefeated.

The impossible answer...

..is A, Midsomer Murders. It's an ITV series.

Leon, Linda, we'll see you both tomorrow!

Question number four.

Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane.

You didn't lock your answer in quickly enough.

I dilly-dallied, and I shouldn't have dilly-dallied.

OK, well, you have a think about that this evening,

and we'll see you tomorrow. And no more dilly-dallying, Jane!

-OK.

-Bye.

-Bye!

So we've got 14 Bs and five As.

Let's see where the points are going.

To the As, Bermuda!

So Simon, Lucille, Asif, Dorothy and Stewart get a point.

Now, Clair, I so want you to get through to the last question.

-Me too!

-Have you given me an impossible answer?

If I've pressed the right button,

and I think I went for B,

then I think I'm OK.

Well, let's see. The impossible answer...

-..is C, St Lucia!

-Yes!

St Lucia is not a British Overseas Territory.

19 of you left in play, as we move on to our last question.

Just one of you on four points, and that is Stewart!

Yay!

Yeah!

Question five.

All answers out there.

-Stewart?

-I haven't seen them at all.

Well, let's hope you've been lucky.

-Huw?

-Before it came up, I was thinking Rebel.

I couldn't remember her surname,

but I just seemed to remember she was in both of them.

I think I've... Well, I've watched Bridesmaids,

and I just remember Pitch Perfect being advertised with her in it.

But I might be completely wrong.

Asif, you are our only C.

-INTERPRETER:

-No, to be honest, I haven't seen the film,

it was just an idea.

I thought maybe it's the same actress that's been involved

in both of them, so I just put C.

Yeah. I can tell you that the impossible answer...

..is C, Kate McKinnon.

Sorry, Asif, she is in neither film.

We'll see you tomorrow!

Let's have a look at the right answer.

The Bs, Rebel Wilson!

Well done, Huw!

So after that, we have nine people on four points.

But the quickest to lock in their answers across the round...

..was Kym! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Don't look so scared, Kym!

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

-Hello, Kym.

-Hello, Rick.

-You looked absolutely stunned.

I think that's fair to say.

So, Kym, what do you do with your spare time?

I love films, books, and music,

so I've just started a book club in the last sort of 18 months or so.

About sort of 12 to 13 of us meet up and discuss books,

and just get very silly and enjoy each other's company, really.

The book is kind of secondary,

it's a scaffold upon which friendship rests!

Very nice, very nice.

Let's focus. This is your chance to put up to £500

into the daily prize pot,

and take a massive step towards playing the £10,000 question.

-OK.

-Going to give you a choice of four topics. Here they are.

One of them's calling out to me. Is it calling out to you?

Yeah, it is. Obviously books and literature, on the face of it,

is a cert.

I also love history. I'll actually go history, please.

-Will you now?

-Yeah, yeah.

OK. So you're going to see nine answers related to history.

Here they come.

I'm thinking explorers,

Arctic exploration particularly for some of them.

-Shall we have a look at the first half of the question?

-Yeah, OK.

You'll have five goes

and each impossible answer you give me

will add £100 to the daily prize pot.

Where would you like to start?

I'll, please, knock out Edmund Hillary.

That's a different era of exploration, I think,

so get rid of him. Get rid of Edmund Hillary, please.

Yeah? Is Edmund Hillary an impossible answer?

Yes, different era, conquered Everest in 1953, from New Zealand.

Thank you.

Where next?

I think Robert Peary was famous for...

..saying he reached the North Pole...

..when he was more of a charlatan than explorer.

So I'll go Robert Peary, please, second choice.

Is Robert Peary an impossible answer?

Robert Peary is credited with reaching the North Pole first in 1909,

but, as you say, Kym, there is some controversy,

he might have been fibbing.

I may regret it, but I'll go Vivian Fuchs, please.

Vivian Fuchs, is that an impossible answer?

Vivian Fuchs was the first man to cross Antarctica by land, in 1958.

Oh, Mungo Park is calling to me. Let's get rid of Mungo Park, please.

Is Mungo Park an impossible answer?

Mungo Park was an 18th-century explorer of West Africa.

Just cos it's a double E, I'll get rid of Edgar Evans, please.

Is Edgar Evans an impossible answer?

No. He did reach the South Pole with Captain Scott.

So you've put £400 into the daily prize pot,

but will you be playing for that money and for a shot

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

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

and I'll be looking for the right answer.

Give it to me, 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 can reveal that that was Izhan.

-Ooh!

-Hold tight, Izhan.

Shall we have a look at the full question?

I think I know this, I read about Scott in primary school.

And it's the iconic

"I may be some time" British sacrifice, isn't it?

So I'll go Lawrence Oates.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, Lawrence Oates.

Did Lawrence Oates walk out of the tent on the return journey,

and say he "may be some time?"

Yes! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well remembered from primary school, Kym!

The other impossible answer was Shackleton.

-Oh.

-Didn't go with Scott.

-OK.

Kym, well done, you're in the final!

Please!

Still two places left in today's final, alongside Kym.

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

17 of you left, including Clair,

who's going to get a nosebleed if she goes much further.

LAUGHTER Good luck. Here's your first question.

Ten Bs and seven As.

The points are going to...

..the Bs.

Huw, have you escaped the impossible answer?

I think I've missed it, I've avoided the impossible.

Let's see.

It's C, chinchilla.

Go on, have a guess, Huw, go on.

Is it some sort of koala thing?

LAUGHTER Ehh, good enough!

It's a small South American rodent.

It's grey and furry.

Haris and Ndaba, what is the axilla, please?

-It's your armpit.

-Yeah.

Spot on, it is.

Question number two.

Steve, you're going with Socrates?

I knew he maybe was a Greek philosopher?

But apart from that, it was a bit of a guess.

-Sonia?

-I remembered it was hemlock, I think, he was poisoned with,

but I couldn't remember... And I thought A or C.

Sue, you went B, Ovid?

I think that's a Roman, maybe Roman word?

But Socrates, Aristotle sound more Greek, so I think I've pressed...

..the wrong one. The impossible.

Mmm, mmm.

Well, one of you definitely has.

The impossible answer...

..is B, Ovid, a Roman, as you say, Sue.

-Yeah.

-We'll see you tomorrow!

-OK.

The right answer...

..A, Socrates!

So a point to all the As.

On to question three.

We got 12 Bs and four As.

Let's have a look at the right answer.

Marlon Brando. Everyone who went for B gets a point.

-Annelies?

-I haven't seen The Godfather, but, I don't know,

I just sort of associated Al Pacino with The Godfather.

The impossible answer...

..is C, Joe Pesci.

He's in Goodfellas, but he's not in The Godfather.

Question number four.

An even split between Bs and Cs.

Izhan, not happy with your answer?

I don't know. It was a toss-up between B and C

cos, you know, heavens, gods, you know,

just going for that sort of Biblical theme, so...

Uh, Lucille?

I don't think it's A. I know who wrote A.

-Who wrote A?

-Vivaldi, I think.

-Ah.

Let's have a look at the right answer.

C, The Creation.

A point to everyone who went for C.

The impossible answer...

..is B, Messiah.

Which is by, Lucille?

-Handel.

-It's by Handel.

And that's not the Four Seasons, is it?

-It's The Seasons.

-No, that's The Seasons, by Haydn.

-Yes.

So we say goodbye to eight of you.

Just eight of you left in play,

and only two of you are on four points.

They are Hazel...

No.

No!

Yes.

APPLAUSE

I thank you, I thank you!

Come on!

Let's see if we can hold it together

for the last question of this round, Clair.

All answers out there.

Dorothy, you went for abaxial?

I know I like gardening, but this was a guess.

-Total guess?

-Total guess.

-Huw?

-I'm pretty sure bellicose means an angry person.

I've got a word of the day app, and that came up the other day.

So you think that C is the impossible answer?

And I will be bellicose if I'm wrong.

Well, I won't be, because... Yeah.

-Haris?

-Before this came up,

I was hoping something "cor" would come up,

and for some reason, obcordate went right past me.

So the thing that you were hoping to come up did come up?

Yeah, I know. I'm pretty sure, because all these medical terms,

"cor" usually denotes heart-shaped.

Abaxial sounded mathematical, so I patched that.

Bellicose sounded... Ah.

One of you has given the impossible answer.

And that is...

-..C, bellicose.

-Yeah.

If you're bellicose, it means you're aggressive and up for a fight.

So basically right, Huw.

Yes!

So we have to say goodbye to you, I'm afraid, Haris.

Both Hazel and Clair gave the same answer, B,

let's see if that was right.

It was. So a point to everyone who went for B.

So at the end of that round, Hazel and Clair finished on five points.

Oh, God!

But the quickest to lock in their answers..

..was Hazel!

Thank you.

Congratulations, Hazel!

Shame.

You have a chance to go grab a place in today's final!

-Hello again, Hazel.

-Hello, Rick.

Remind us, if you were to play for the £10,000 question and win it,

what you'd spend the money on?

I would like to go to Brazil.

-Mm-hmm.

-Especially to Sao Paulo.

-Mm-hmm.

-I like a good carnival, and it's about...

Would you get stuck in and get all the...?

Oh, too right, too right, yeah. Feathers and... Yeah.

Love it, Hazel, love it.

So you've got a choice of three topics here.

-Yes.

-Shall we have a look at them?

-Yup.

I'm torn between nursery rhymes and books and literature.

Oh, let's go nursery rhymes.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Let's have a bit of fun?

-Yeah, it's fun.

-So you're going to see nine answers relating to nursery rhymes.

And it's days of the week, birth dates,

and it wasn't what I was expecting.

So, anyway, we'll go for it.

Let's have a look at the first half of the question.

Where do you want to start?

I will start with "just goes with the flow".

Is "just goes with the flow" an impossible answer?

Yes, it is.

I don't think there's one "first in the race".

-Yeah!

-Thank you.

-Two from two.

-Yep.

"Sluggish and slow".

"Sluggish and slow".

I know that describes me, but I don't think it's in that nursery rhyme.

Yes!

Let's go "generous and sharing".

Is "generous and sharing" an impossible answer?

-Yes!

-Thank you.

One more impossible answer up there. Let's get rid of it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know which of the four,

so I'm going to go for "kind and caring".

"Kind and caring".

Yes!

-Lovely stuff.

-Thank you.

So, Hazel, you've put £500 into the daily prize pot,

it now stands at £900.

But are you going to be playing for that money and for a shot

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

Give me a wrong answer,

and the next-best player will have the chance to steal your place in the final,

and that was, of course, Clair.

Good luck, Hazel.

Let's have a look at the full question.

I think I'm going to go for "works hard for a living".

-"Works hard for a living"?

-Yeah.

OK.

Does Friday's Child "work hard for a living"?

No, no.

-No.

-That is a wrong answer.

-Yeah, I got my days mixed up.

-Clair!

Monday's child is fair of face, Tuesday's child is full of grace,

Wednesday's child is...

It's "loving and giving".

-Yeah?

-I think you're right.

-Yeah.

If this is right...

..you're going to be in the final, Clair.

SHE LAUGHS

All right.

Is Friday's Child "loving and giving"?

Yes, Clair! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Clair, you're in the final...

-Thank you!

-..with your neighbour from the middle row, Kym!

-I know!

Just the one place left up for grabs in the final. Everyone ready?

-CONTESTANTS:

-Yes!

-Good luck.

Here's the first question.

Sonia, So Solid Crew?

-Favourite of mine.

-Uh-huh?

-Yep, every album.

-Who's your favourite member?

-One of those up there.

-Yeah, thought so.

-Bernie?

-Well...

You're more of a Hole-in-the-Wall Gang girl?

Well, I thought... Well, actually, yes, that's really mad, isn't it?

Because I thought, ooh, Blazin' Squad and So Solid Crew

are chart-topping music groups, so I went for Hole-in-the-Wall Gang.

I think I can just about find the flaw in that argument, Bernie.

Huw?

I just remember or recognise Kenzie from Blazin' Squad.

Or maybe it was MacKenzie? I don't know.

It was, like, that massive rap group from the early noughties.

I think there was, like, 14 of them.

One of you has given the impossible answer.

-It's C...

-Oh, sorry, chaps.

-..Hole-in-the-Wall Gang.

Hole-in-the-Wall Gang was the outlaw gang that

-Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were members of.

-That's right! OK.

The right answer...

..is A, Blazin' Squad!

Point to Huw!

Question number two.

Another good area for you, Huw?

I honestly can't elaborate on this at all.

It took you quite a long while.

I was watching you, you were just like...

Well, as I'm ahead, I've got the cushion of not having to

get the fastest one, for now.

-You could come unstuck quite quickly!

-Yeah.

-Dorothy?

-I just call a sieve a sieve,

I didn't know that there was different kinds of sieves.

-Ah, a classic spade-a-spade lady!

-I know!

-Sonia?

-Mezzaluna is a sort of round, it means half-moon,

and it's for cutting up herbs and things like that.

-But it is a kitchen implement.

-Doesn't sound very sieve-y?

No, but it is a kitchen implement, however,

I'm now thinking chinois, isn't that like a type of material?

It would make sense that that was a sieve-type thing.

But I know it's not... Mezzaluna's impossible, so...

OK, so you're safe...

-Hopefully.

-..you hope.

Well, one of you has given the impossible answer.

B, prymatt.

Prymatt is a character in the film Coneheads, Dorothy.

-Oh.

-We'll see you tomorrow!

OK.

The right answer...

..chinois. Huw, Izhan, and Hazel get a point.

Question number three.

You're taking so long over your answers now, Huw.

I wanted Psycho to come up at the end, but it didn't, so...

-D, Psycho?

-Yeah.

Well, let's see where the points are going.

C, Blackmail!

A point to Hazel, point to Huw!

Right to take your time, Huw.

The impossible answer...

..Metropolis, not a Hitchcock film, it's by Fritz Lang.

Question number four.

Izhan.

It sounds more Icelandic, maybe, than the other two?

Well, one of you has given the impossible answer.

It's A, Astolat.

Huw, we have to say goodbye. We'll see you tomorrow!

And the right answer...

..C, Althing.

So just a point, Izhan.

Question number five.

-Izhan?

-I thought Ophelia was perhaps from a different Shakespeare play,

and Mistress Quickly seemed unlikely

to be a title of Verdi's final opera, so I was left with Falstaff.

Is Mistress Quickly unlikely to be the title of a Verdi opera?

Extremely unlikely, yes.

How come you went for it, Hazel?

-LAUGHTER

-I panicked, you know.

The impossible answer...

It was. Ophelia is from Hamlet.

So let's see where these points are going.

A, Falstaff. A point to Sonia and a point to Izhan.

Which means at the end of that round, Izhan, on three points,

congratulations, you have the last chance

to grab a place in today's final!

-Here we are again, Izhan.

-Yeah.

We know that you would like to spend the money, if you get it,

on travelling. Have you done much travelling before?

Yeah, I've been fortunate enough to travel

sort of quite a way around the world.

It's been a real passion of mine.

Best place you've been?

I spent some time in Brazil a few years ago...

-Uh-huh.

-..over the summer, did some travelling

-to Iguazu Falls...

-Yes.

-..which was fantastic,

would love to go down that way again.

OK. Shall we have a look at the two remaining topics?

-Sure.

-All right.

Right, um, I think it's going to have to be science.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Books and literature is not my forte.

The nine answers relating to science are...

Something to do with the body.

Let's have a look at the first half of the question then.

So five of those answers are impossible,

because they're not arteries in the human body.

Where do you want to start?

There's some that I think aren't arteries

because I've known them from somewhere else.

But of course, they might be both. But let's start with, um...

-..start with radial.

-Radial?

Is radial an impossible answer?

-Ooh, now then.

-OK, got mixed up.

It is an artery in the human body. Where next?

Let's go for, uh, primordial.

Is primordial an impossible answer?

Primordial means existing from the beginning of time.

Um, cardinal.

Anything on cardinal?

There's the phrase "the cardinal sin",

so I'm assuming it doesn't have anything to do with arteries.

Is cardinal an impossible answer?

A cardinal is a leading dignitary in the Catholic Church,

amongst other things.

I'm torn between a couple.

Um...

Yeah go on, I'll go for coaxial.

Is coaxial an impossible answer?

Yes, it means having a common axis.

One more go remaining. Let's get rid of another impossible answer.

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

..uh, camelid.

Is camelid an impossible answer?

Camelids are mammals, members of the camel family.

-Makes sense.

-So £400 added to the prize pot.

Shaky start, pulled it together. £1,300 now in that pot.

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

and I'll be looking for the right answer.

Find it, you're in the final.

Give a wrong answer, as you know,

the next-best player has the chance to steal your place in the final.

That's Hazel! Hold tight, Hazel.

There is still one impossible answer left. If you give me that,

you will be eliminated from today's show.

-Sure.

-Shall we have a look at the full question?

Yes.

And I'm looking for the right answer.

I'm going to go with femoral.

Is femoral an artery that supplies blood to the leg?

Yes!

The one impossible that you didn't eliminate was fluvial,

which means of or relating to rivers.

Well done, Izhan, you're through to the final!

Thank you very much.

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

but we'll see you all again tomorrow.

-Bye for now! CONTESTANTS:

-Bye!

But for Kym, Clair, and Izhan, it's time for the final.

So, Kym, Clair, and Izhan, all buzzer round virgins,

first-time finalists.

£1,300 in today's prize pot,

only one of you can win that money

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

You each have ten lives, there they are.

Questions are on the buzzer, most of them are normal,

straightforward questions with normal, straightforward answers.

Buzz and get one right

and you'll 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,

which is to say there is no answer,

it's illogical, makes no sense.

If you think you've spotted one of these,

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

Doubly-bad news for your opponents,

cos they will both lose two lives.

But be warned, if you say that a question is impossible when it isn't,

or give any other answer to an impossible question,

it is you who will lose the two lives.

The last player standing will take the £1,300.

Best of luck to you all!

-Thank you.

-Let's start.

Which three-word phase was both a presidential campaign slogan

for Barack Obama and a catchphrase from Bob the Builder?

-Izhan?

-Yes, we can?

Yes, we can! Clair and Kym, you lose a life.

What is the name of the Tudor warship that sank in the...?

Kym?

Mary Rose?

..sank in the English Channel on the 19th of July, 1545?

It was the Mary Rose, well interrupted.

The song Downtown was a winning Eurovision Song Contest entry

for which singer? Kym?

Impossible.

It is impossible. It was a '60s hit from Petula Clark,

but not a Eurovision song.

Clair and Izhan, you both lose two lives.

Which instrument was the US musician Liberace most famous...?

Clair?

Piano.

Clair, you were a bit too late.

You were right eventually, it was piano, but you still lose a life.

Fair enough.

Which toy doll has the full name Barbara Millicent...

-Izhan?

-Barbie.

..Barbara Millicent Roberts? It is Barbie,

named after the creator's daughter.

Which famous comedian played the toymaker

in the 1968 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

-Clair?

-I can't remember his name.

-Benny Hill.

-Benny Hill. It's just draining out of me now!

What kind of reptile is a marimba?

-Clair.

-Impossible.

-Yes, Clair!

-Yeah, all right!

-CHEERING

The marimba is a musical instrument, not a reptile.

It's the Clair fight-back.

What nationality was the writer Georges Simenon,

the creator of Maigret?

-Kym?

-French.

No, he was Belgian.

What does the letter "I" stand for in the UK government agency MI5?

-Izhan?

-Intelligence.

It is intelligence.

Which Happy Days actor has directed film adaptations

of three Dan Brown novels?

-Kym?

-Ron Howard.

-It is Ron Howard.

Clair, you're clinging on...

-I know.

-..with one life.

Izhan, you're on four, Kym, you're on four.

Who plays opposite Emma Stone in the 2017 film Beauty...

-Kym.

-Impossible.

..2017 film Beauty and the Beast?

It is impossible. Emma Watson plays Belle opposite Dan Stevens.

Izhan, you lose two lives,

Clair, you lose your last remaining life

-and you're out of the game.

-It's OK.

Which Italian phrase meaning "to the tooth" refers to food,

typically pasta, that is still firm...?

-Kym?

-Al dente?

..that is still firm when bitten? Al dente is correct.

Izhan, you have only one life remaining.

According to the title of a Paul Simon song,

how many ways are there to leave your lover?

-Kym?

-50.

There are 50. Izhan, you lose your life.

Izhan and Clair, commiserations, you're back in the pack.

But, Kym, it's time to face the £10,000 question!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Really well done, Kym. You are today's winner with £1,300.

That's great,

but you could be leaving with a whole lot more

if you can answer the £10,000 question.

If you were to just get the daily prize pot of £1,300,

-what would that go on, Kym?

-I think somewhere medium-warm.

-Yeah, you can't go super-warm, can you?

-No, no, baby steps, so yeah.

Medium-warm would be good.

But the £10,000, we're going to turn the temperature right up!

-Talking Australia.

-Australia, bodyboarding.

Any particular parts of Australia you'd like to go to?

I'd love to go to the Gold Coast.

My animated favourite is Finding Nemo,

so I think I'll go and pay tribute up there to Nemo and Dory.

-Go and find Nemo.

-Yeah.

Why not? So this is how it's going to work.

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

Three of the nine answers are correct,

if you can find them all within ten seconds, you win the £10,000.

Whatever happens, you will be leaving the show today,

so you have to say goodbye to your beloved middle row.

-Aww!

-Any subject that you'd like to see come up?

Um, well, obviously books would be nice, history.

I tend to be humanities rather than maths and science.

It's on pop music.

Depends on the genre and the era, might be OK.

-OK.

-Who knows?

Here they come.

And you're looking for...

And your time starts now.

I'll go, um, Hunky Dory,

Diamond Dogs...

The Next Day.

-Took your time there, Kym, thought about it.

-Yeah.

Was it the right kind of era for you?

I was born in the '70s, um,

unfortunately I'm probably more Abba than David Bowie,

so I'm not sure.

Not sure.

Let's look at them in the order you gave them.

You first said Hunky Dory.

Is Hunky Dory a David Bowie album that was released in the 1970s?

Yes.

Released in 1971.

You then went for Diamond Dogs.

Is Diamond Dogs a right answer?

Yes.

Released in 1974.

Your last answer, which you just got in in the time, was The Next Day.

Is that the one you'd go for still?

-SHE SIGHS

-No, I think I should've played it safe and gone Let's Dance,

because that's '80s Bowie. But, um...

Oh, I went... My brother's got a phrase, he said,

"You go for it or nothing."

Is The Next Day a David Bowie album release in the 1970s?

Oh!

It isn't, but it's not an impossible answer,

which means you've still won £1,300,

and you're going to go somewhere moderately warm?

Yeah that's fine, tepid is good.

Tepid is better than freezing, isn't it?

-Yeah!

-Thank you ever so much for playing !mpossible,

-you've been a great player, Kym.

-Thank you.

The Next Day is a David Bowie album, but it's not from the 1970s,

it was actually released in 2013.

OK.

Just to clear up the board, the one you should've gone for...

-Can I have a guess?

-Yeah, go on.

-Hatful of Hollow.

-Oh, no!

Oh, that's OK then. Phew!

-Hatful of Hollow is an impossible answer.

-Oh.

-That's by The Smiths.

-Oh, of course, yeah.

Well, Face Value, I think, is a Bowie album.

-Face Value is by Phil Collins.

-Oh, God, I wouldn't have known that.

I'll go... Well, Let's Dance I'm saying is '80s,

so that's, like, a wrong answer.

Let's go Low.

It was Low.

-Never would have known.

-1977.

-OK.

-The remaining impossible was The Division Bell by Pink Floyd.

Kym, you've been a fantastic player, thanks for coming on !mpossible.

You've won £1,300!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So Kym leaves with the daily prize pot,

the rest of us will be back tomorrow when someone else will have

the chance to win £10,000.

This has been !mpossible, the quiz where, actually,

anything is possible. Goodbye!
