0:00:00 > 0:00:03I'm Rick Edwards, and this is !mpossible.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09APPLAUSE
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Impossible.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Welcome to !mpossible, the quiz with the third dimension.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,
0:00:20 > 0:00:22but here we also have impossible answers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26They're not just wrong, they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Hoping to get lots of right answers whilst dodging those pesky
0:00:28 > 0:00:31impossible answers are 24 players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- Hello, players! ALL:- Hi!
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Love these guys. We've had a great two weeks, but we've almost come to the end of our
0:00:37 > 0:00:41time together and it's your last chance to unlock this.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- ALL:- Whoo!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46The biggest exclamation mark in television history,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49filled with 10,000 pound coins.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53At the end of the show, one of our 24 contestants will face
0:00:53 > 0:00:54the final question.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And here...
0:00:57 > 0:01:00..it is. Today's £10,000 question.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06Get this right and all of that cash comes cascading out.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Yesterday, Bernie left the show with £10,000,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and today's new player is Stephen.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Hello, Stephen, how are you doing? - Hi, Rick.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- What do you do, Stephen? - I'm a police controller.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17And what do you do in your spare time?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- I coach youth football.- Uh-huh?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Under-16s team locally called Harmony Row, in Govan.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27OK, and what would you do if you were to get the money?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I would like to - I read a bit in my spare time -
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I like to read Agatha Christie novels,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37so I've always had a real desire to take a trip on the Orient Express.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Oh, lovely!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41So, yeah, me and the wife, that would be very romantic.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43A lot of brownie points for that, I think.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Best of luck on the show, nice to have you here.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Coming in for just one shot at the money.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51We are, of course, joined by Jackie, who is our British Sign Language
0:01:51 > 0:01:55interpreter, who is working with Asif. Let's crack on.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58You'll face five multiple-choice questions, each with three answers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00The right answer gets you a point,
0:02:00 > 0:02:01the wrong answer gets you nothing,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03but if you choose the impossible answer...
0:02:04 > 0:02:07..that will immediately knock you out of today's show.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08After five questions,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10the highest-scorer gets the first chance to bag
0:02:10 > 0:02:13a place in today's final. Are we ready?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14- ALL:- Yes!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Let's do this. Here's your first question.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Half of you have gone with C.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33The right answer...
0:02:35 > 0:02:38..is C, The Spectator.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40So, a point to all of you.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Leon.- Oh, here we go.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44LAUGHTER
0:02:45 > 0:02:47One last time.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Are you a big reader of British politics and culture magazines?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I read nothing but Harry Potter, so...
0:02:53 > 0:02:54LAUGHTER
0:02:54 > 0:02:56This was a total guess.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Bye, thank you.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Fairly depressing stuff down on the front row.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02LAUGHTER
0:03:02 > 0:03:04The impossible answer...
0:03:07 > 0:03:13...is A - the National Enquirer is a US magazine.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17At this point, I have to say goodbye to my favourite trio.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Lateefah, Annelies and Leon, it's been a pleasure.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Sue, Stewart, bye-bye.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- ALL:- Bye.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Just 19 of you left in play as we move on to question two.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Let's see if the majority are right.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49You are - points for everyone who went for B.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Ndaba.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Well, Dennis Waterman...
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Is this show from the '80s? Secondly,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58does he wear very large glasses?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Are you asking whether the right answer is the right answer, Ndaba?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I'm not really sure.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I've got no idea what you're talking about.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I know a Dennis, he wears big glasses.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Are you thinking of Dennis Norden?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- No, it's Taylor.- Dennis Taylor!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Dennis Taylor, the snooker player?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- In which case, I don't know.- Great.
0:04:18 > 0:04:24Well, either you or Asif has given the impossible answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29A, John Thaw.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32John Thaw was not in Minder
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and we'll have to say goodbye.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36You've been a great player.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37- TRANSLATOR:- Thank you for having me here.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41On to question three.
0:04:55 > 0:04:5717 Bs and just the one A.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Are the Bs right?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03They are. Points for all of you.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Huw?- Metz is in France, I think?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- So you're hoping Metz is the impossible answer?- Yeah.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Let's see.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Yes, Metz is in France.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18You survive, Huw, as we go on to question four.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35The right answer...
0:05:36 > 0:05:39..is B, Beatrix Potter.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Points to everyone who went for her.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Have the Cs avoided the impossible answer?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50A, Harper Lee was from America.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Question five.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09The vast majority have gone with A.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Let's see if the majority are right.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14They're not.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17The answer was C, Bob Paisley.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21So, points to Harvey, Stephen, James, Neil, and Huw.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Linda.- I knew football would be my downfall.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Shall we find out? The impossible answer...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33..is B, Matt Busby.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37He was a Liverpool player, but he never managed Liverpool,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39he did go on to manage a smaller club.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44So, at the end of that round, nine of you are on four points,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48but the quickest to lock in their answers across the round
0:06:48 > 0:06:49was Neil.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51APPLAUSE
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Congratulations, Neil.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56You have the first chance at grabbing a place in today's final.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Hello, Neil.- Hello, Rick.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Good to be down here?- Yes, very much so.- It's nice, isn't it? - Yeah, it is really nice,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- I didn't think it was going to happen.- There's the money, that's what we're playing for.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- That looks really nice. - It does look great, doesn't it?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15What would you spend it on?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Really, a holiday for the family this summer.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20We didn't go last year abroad, so I'd like to take them abroad this year.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Any idea where?- Florida, Disney World, that would be nice.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I've always wanted to go to China.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Oh, yeah?- That's sort of a dream holiday for me.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You know, if... My youngest child is three,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34so I don't know if I'd drag him around China.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37But maybe put some of the money away to go in a few years' time or
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- something.- OK, should we get on with it?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Yep, great.- Going to give you a choice of four topics, here they are.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Books & Literature is a nightmare category for me,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56as is Musical Theatre.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- OK.- So I'll go Film.- Yeah?
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Yeah, I think so.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Are you a film buff?- I do watch a lot of films.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09It depends on the era, really. Anything sort of pre-1960, useless.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Should we have a look at the answers?- Yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Here they come. Nine answers relating to film.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I know some of those names, if that's any good.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It might come in handy, I think.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Should we have a look at the first half of the question?- OK.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Well, that is absolutely post 1960, so we should be in here, Neil.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Yes. I haven't seen the film.- Oh.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Starting to feel a little bit more out. Five of those answers are impossible,
0:08:56 > 0:09:00because they're not in Calendar Girls. You'll have five goes, each impossible answer you
0:09:00 > 0:09:03give me will add £100 to the daily prize pot.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Where would you like to start?
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Emma Thompson.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Emma Thompson. Given that you haven't seen the film, is this sort
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- of...?- My thinking is, I'm sure Calendar Girls was about
0:09:16 > 0:09:20a group of, say, elderly women
0:09:20 > 0:09:23doing a topless calendar.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Yeah.- And I don't think Emma Thompson would come into the elderly
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- category.- OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29So, that's the thinking behind it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33So, is Emma Thompson an impossible answer?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Yes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Not in the film.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41APPLAUSE
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- We're off.- We're off.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48OK. And using that sort of logic, I'm going to go for Dawn French.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Is Dawn French an impossible answer?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Yeah.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55APPLAUSE
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Making it look easy, Neil.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59It's getting harder.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05I'm going to go for Alison Steadman.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Alison Steadman.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Is Alison Steadman an impossible answer?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Yeah.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15APPLAUSE
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Breezing through this grid, Neil.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19OK.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Let's try...
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- ..Penelope Wilton.- Is Penelope Wilton an impossible answer?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Ah!
0:10:35 > 0:10:36She is in Calendar Girls.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40One more go, though. See if we can eliminate one more impossible.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Brenda Blethyn.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- You winced a bit as you said that, Neil.- Yeah, I have no idea, really.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52I'm pretty sure Helen Mirren and Judi Dench were in it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Is Brenda Blethyn an impossible answer?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00She is, you know. APPLAUSE
0:11:00 > 0:11:03£400 put into the prize pot.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Very respectable, Neil.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08But will you be playing for that money and for a shot at the £10,000
0:11:08 > 0:11:10question in today's final?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15and I will be looking for the right answer.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Find that right answer, you're in the final.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Give me a wrong answer,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and the next-best player will have the chance to steal your place in
0:11:23 > 0:11:26the final. And I can reveal
0:11:26 > 0:11:31that lying in wait is Sonia.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32- ALL:- Ooo!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34LAUGHTER
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Sonia, have you seen Calendar Girls?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I have, but it was quite a long time ago.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40How much of it do you remember?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Fair bit.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I wouldn't have called them elderly. I'd just say,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47you know, a little bit older.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Middle-aged onwards, maybe.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Now, we know that there is still one impossible answer up there.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57If you give that to me, you will be eliminated from today's show and
0:11:57 > 0:11:59we'll have to say goodbye.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01And I don't want to say goodbye to you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Yet.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Let's have a look at the full question.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I would be guessing, so I'm going to have to go for Penelope Wilton,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- because at least I know she's not.. - to play it safe?- ..an impossible answer. Yeah.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24OK, with half an eye on staying in the game,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28is Penelope Wilton the right answer?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34No. But, as you knew, not an impossible answer.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- No.- Just a wrong answer.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Which means we go over to Sonia,
0:12:39 > 0:12:40who has seen the film.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47I don't actually know, so
0:12:47 > 0:12:51between the two, I'm going to go for Annette Crosbie.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Annette Crosbie?- Yep.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Who was the other one you were thinking of?- Julie Walters.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02If Annette Crosbie plays the widow Annie in Calendar Girls,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Sonia will be through to the final.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09If Annette Crosbie is a wrong answer, or an impossible answer, Neil is in
0:13:09 > 0:13:15the final. Did Annette Crosbie play the widow Annie in Calendar Girls?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22No. She didn't, I'm afraid, Sonia.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Which means, great news for you, Neil.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You've dodged a bit of a bullet.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- I have, yeah.- And you're going to be in today's final.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30APPLAUSE
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Sonia, you mentioned Julie Walters.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Julie Walters is the right answer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- Oh!- So, unlucky. The one remaining impossible answer -
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Judi Dench was not in Calendar Girls.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Doesn't matter, Neil, we will see you in today's final.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50APPLAUSE
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Still two places left in today's final alongside Neil.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Let's find out who's going to be claiming the next one.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Everyone ready? ALL:- Yes.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Good luck, here's your first question.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23William, you were a little bit late on that, I'm afraid.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Which means we're going to have to say goodbye.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Bye.- Hope you've enjoyed playing the game. It's been great having you on.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- A lovely time, lovely week. - Lovely time, lovely week.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34These are the kind of players I like.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- See you later, William.- Bye, Rick.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Most of you have gone for A,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44let's see if that was the right thing to do.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Yes. A point to all the As.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53But we do have two Cs and three Bs.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Dorothy, never tucked into a Parana?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- No.- There might be a good reason for that.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Let's find out.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Parana is a river in South America.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Hazel, Stephen, Dorothy, thank you so much for playing the game,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I hope you've had a good time. Goodbye.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Just 12 of you left in play as we go on to question two.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Most of you have gone with B, Richard Feynman.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Let's see if there is wisdom in the crowd.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47There is. A point to everyone who went for B.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Harvey, what are you like with quantum electrodynamics?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I think I'm better at tennis, because I think Roy Emerson was a
0:15:55 > 0:15:58tennis player for Australia in the '60s.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Which is a bit disappointing, because I'm interested in sport,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02but there you go.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03The impossible answer...
0:16:06 > 0:16:08It's C, Roy Emerson.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10As you said, Harvey, he's a tennis player.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12That means we have to say goodbye.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Cheers.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Only 11 of you left in play now as we go on to question three.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37We've got eight Dudley Moores and three Spike Milligans.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39The right answer...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43..is Dudley Moore.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47So a point to everyone who went for C.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Sonia?- Now that I know Dudley Moore is the correct answer,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I'm thinking Spike Milligan is more likely to be wrong
0:16:53 > 0:16:54but not impossible,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57because I would associate him more with Dudley Moore than Alan Bennett.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01OK, let's see if the three of you have escaped the impossible answer.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06You haven't.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Spike Milligan, member of the Goons,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10not Beyond the Fringe.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Haris, Ndaba, it's been lovely having two medical students on.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19You've made me laugh and sort of furrow my brow in equal measure.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Sonia, did you enjoy yourself?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I had a fab two weeks, yeah, really good.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25That is all I can ask for.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Been a total pleasure. Cheers, guys, bye-bye.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Thank you.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Only eight people left as we go into question four.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50An equal split between Bs and Cs.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51The right answer...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55..is B, Thelma & Louise.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56So a point to all of you.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Lucille, have you avoided the impossible answer?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I have. My absolute number one film, so I know he directed it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06But I wasn't sure which of the other two it was.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08The impossible answer...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Top Gun. You have avoided it,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14that was directed by Ridley Scott's brother,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Tony Scott. Going into the final question of this round,
0:18:17 > 0:18:22three of you are on four points - they are Simon, Steve and Huw.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42One of you three on the middle row has given the impossible answer.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47C.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Nicholas Serota was the director of the Tate for years.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Which means, Simon, Steve,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57it's time for our goodbyes.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Simon, you enjoyed yourself?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Yeah, I think I was getting over the shock I actually got a film question
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- right.- We all were, Simon, absolutely reeling.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Take care. And Steve?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I've had an amazing time, so thank you so much, it's been brilliant.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Good. Go back to your kids now.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- They miss you.- Thank you, I will do, they miss me. Thanks.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Let's see where the points are going.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21B, Tempera.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Just James and Huw getting the points.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Which means, at the end of the round,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32on a maximum five points, it's Huw.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Congratulations, Huw,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40you have the next chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42APPLAUSE
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Huw, I cannot tell you how delighted I am to get you down here.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Well, as I said from the start, I was going to leave it to the end
0:19:53 > 0:19:55so I get to spend as long with everyone
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- as possible.- And you've done exactly that.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I know, it was part of my game plan.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03So, Huw, what would you do with that money?
0:20:04 > 0:20:10I don't know, I'd probably go travelling cos I've got nothing else to do with my summer.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13And probably just enjoy my last year at university.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Yeah?- I mean, I'm currently doing a work placement at the moment, so I've
0:20:16 > 0:20:18got a couple of months left, and then I go back to university.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21All right, shall we have a look at the three topics, Huw?
0:20:21 > 0:20:22- We shall, yeah.- OK.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32So, Books & Literature is a write-off.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I don't think there's going to be anything in there for Musical Theatre,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40so I'm just going to have to go for History.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Yeah?- I think, yeah.- So you're going to see nine answers,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44all relating to history.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Good names or bad names for you, Huw?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I think it's American presidents.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Which I was going to revise, but I didn't.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Shall we look at the first half of the question, see if that helps?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- OK.- Where would you like to start?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Allan Konigsberg sounds Scandinavian, so let's go for that.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Is that an impossible answer?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Yes. APPLAUSE
0:21:33 > 0:21:35We're up and running, Huw.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Allan Konigsberg is the real name of Woody Allen.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39OK.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Aubrey Graham doesn't sound like a 1700s name.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Yeah, let's go for Aubrey Graham.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Aubrey Graham. Is Aubrey Graham an impossible answer?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58APPLAUSE
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Very good. The real name of the rapper Drake.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Let's get rid of Benjamin Shepherd, I think.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Any ideas?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Just too many Bens.- Oh, he's a TV presenter, isn't he?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Ben Shepherd.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Is Benjamin Shepherd an impossible answer?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19APPLAUSE
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Yes.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It is the TV presenter, Ben Shepherd.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Oh, I don't know.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26- You're nailing this, Huw. - Yeah, I know.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Just keep going.- Let's go for Elbridge, I think.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Elbridge Gerry?- Yeah, doesn't sound right.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Let's go for that, yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Is Elbridge Gerry an impossible answer?
0:22:40 > 0:22:41- OK.- No.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46John Arlott?
0:22:46 > 0:22:47I don't know.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51I'm torn between John and Harrison Birtwistle.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Shall we go for...? Let's go for Harrison Birtwistle.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Is Harrison Birtwistle an impossible answer?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Yes. APPLAUSE
0:23:04 > 0:23:06He is an English composer.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Not a bad grid, that, Huw.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Yeah.- £800 in the prize pot now.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Yep.- But will you be playing for that money and a shot at the £10,000
0:23:16 > 0:23:18question in today's final?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Give me a wrong answer and the next-best player has the chance to steal
0:23:22 > 0:23:26your place in the final. I can reveal that that was James.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31There is still one impossible answer up there.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32If you give that to me,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35sadly you will be eliminated from today's show and we will have to say
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- an emotional goodbye.- OK.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Shall we have a look at the full question?- Let's.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I'm torn between John Hancock and Elbridge.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00I think...
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Let's go for Elbridge.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07No, John Hancock. Let's get for John Hancock.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- John Hancock?- Mm.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Is John Hancock the right answer?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19No, it's not.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It's a wrong answer.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Which means we throw over to James.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26John Arlott.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Is John Arlott often credited with inventing bifocal spectacles?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37No, and it's an impossible answer, James.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39He was a cricket commentator.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Right.- Which means we have to say goodbye.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Sorry. I hope you had fun. - It's been nice knowing you.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Take care, bye, James.- Bye.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Huw, that is massive news for you.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Skin of my teeth, yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Very happy. - Want to have another guess?
0:24:55 > 0:25:00- Benjamin Franklin?- Benjamin Franklin is the right answer.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Not that it matters, Huw.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Because we're going to see you a bit later in today's final.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06APPLAUSE
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Just the one place left up for grabs in the final - who's it going to be?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Here's your first question.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Three Bs and one C.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Let's have a look at the right answer first.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41A, East of Eden.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Clair.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Yeah. I've had a lovely time, really.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47LAUGHTER
0:25:47 > 0:25:50It's interesting that you've gone For Whom The Bell Tolls.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Yeah, cos I think it tolls for me.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54SHE LAUGHS
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I can tell you, the impossible answer...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00..is C, For Whom The Bell Tolls.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Not by John Steinbeck, I'm afraid.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05By Ernest Hemingway.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Clair, you got much further than you thought you would.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09I seriously did, yeah.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11You even got down to a final.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- I know.- I'm going to say you've had a lovely time.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- SHE LAUGHS - You'd be right, I have, thank you.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Bye, Clair.- Bye.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23And then there were three. Onto question two.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Let's see where the points are going...
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Nowhere. The answer is C, bandura.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Jane.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I hadn't got a clue.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53So I just guessed, I'm afraid.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- So I could be down the swanny. - Lucille.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I didn't have a clue.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Not an inkling either.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Couldn't get it from the language or anything.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Let's see what the impossible answer is...
0:27:10 > 0:27:14It's A, solyanka, I'm afraid, Lucille.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Solyanka is a type of Russian soup.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- It's been great having you on the show.- Thank you very much.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- See you later. Bye-bye.- Thanks, bye.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Izhan on no points. LAUGHTER
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Jane on no points. LAUGHTER
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- Oh, wow.- These really are titans of the quiz world.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34LAUGHTER
0:27:34 > 0:27:37If either of you is the last person standing,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40you automatically qualify for the grid.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Question number three.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59You've both gone for A, Cabot Cove.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01The impossible answer...
0:28:04 > 0:28:07..is C, Martha's Vineyard.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11It's a real place, an island in Massachusetts.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Let's see if you can get off the mark and get some points.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15The right answer...
0:28:16 > 0:28:19..is A, Cabot Cove. So a point each.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Question number four.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38We do have a difference of opinion here.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Jane has gone with B, Horologium.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Izhan has gone with C, Calufrax.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47The right answer...
0:28:49 > 0:28:52..is A, Pyxis.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55One of you has given the impossible answer,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59the other one will be coming down to face the grid.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00The impossible answer...
0:29:04 > 0:29:06..is C, Calufrax.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Calufrax is a fictional planet in Doctor Who.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Izhan, it's been fun.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- It has.- But we have to part now.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Thank you very much. - Take care.- Bye.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Horologium is the name of the constellation that translates as
0:29:23 > 0:29:26"the clock". Jane, you have the last chance to grab a place in
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- today's final.- Thank you.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30APPLAUSE
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Well done, Jane. Quite tense, though.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Oh, very. I'm just a wreck.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41You've emerged unscathed, Jane, that's the important thing.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Shall we have a look at the topics that are remaining?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- Yes.- They are...
0:29:50 > 0:29:52All right.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Which one are we going to go for? - I'm just going to go Books & Literature.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01So you're going to see nine answers relating to Books & Literature.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Here they come.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Have you read the Asterix books?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- No.- OK.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Where would you like to start?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36I'm going Pickupstix because that's a game.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Hmm.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Is Pickupstix an impossible answer?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Yes. APPLAUSE
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Not in the Asterix books.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51And I don't think Quickfix would be there either.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Is Quickfix an impossible answer?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57It is.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58APPLAUSE
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Not in the books.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03And Getafix I don't think is...
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Getafix.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Is Getafix an impossible answer?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- Oh!- Oh!- Getafix is a villager in the Asterix books.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Optimistix.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Is Optimistix an impossible answer?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Yes APPLAUSE
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Three out of four, one go remaining.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38- Electri... Electricsix. - Electricsix?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Is Electricsix an impossible answer?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Yes. APPLAUSE
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Four from five, £400 goes to the prize pot.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Now stands at £1,200.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Right.- Very good going, considering you've never read the Asterix books. - Yeah.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question and I'll
0:31:58 > 0:32:00be looking for the right answer.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- Right.- Give me that answer and you are in the final.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Give me a wrong answer and the last player to be eliminated will have the chance to
0:32:09 > 0:32:10steal your place in the final.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15- OK.- That was your old adversary Izhan.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- Right.- Hold tight, Izhan.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Yeah.- There is still an impossible answer up there.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- Yeah.- If you give that to me,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27we will have to say goodbye.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- OK.- Let's reveal the full question.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Oh, golly.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Arggh!
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I'm going to go Geriatrix.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I'm not going to play safe.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57The chiefs are usually older.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59It just... Please!
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Is Geriatrix the chief in the Asterix books?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12He isn't.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15That is a wrong answer.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Right.- Not an impossible answer.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- No.- Which means I'm throwing over to Izhan.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Geriatrix was the only one I had heard of before,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28so, in my opinion, somebody who provided vital statistics
0:33:28 > 0:33:31would be quite high up in the chain of a village.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36But let's go with Getafix.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Is Getafix the right answer?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47No. It isn't.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Sorry, Izhan.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54Now, Izhan, you did mention that Vitalstatistix would be high up in
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- your village.- Mm-hm. - He's the chief.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Unlucky.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04The last remaining impossible answer, Djolliokeestix.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Not a character in the Asterix books.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- Right.- Jane, you're in the final!
0:34:12 > 0:34:14APPLAUSE
0:34:20 > 0:34:23For the rest of you, I'm afraid that victory today proved impossible.

0:34:41 > 0:34:46there's £1,200 in today's prize pot, but only one of you can win that
0:34:46 > 0:34:49money and the right to face the £10,000 question.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06However, some of the questions are impossible.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09If you think you've spotted one of these,
0:35:09 > 0:35:13all you've got to do is buzz in and say impossible.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16That's doubly bad news for your opponents because they will both lose two lives.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27The subject is Sport.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Best of luck, Neil. Here come your nine answers.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50And you're looking for...

0:40:59 > 0:41:02Jackie Stewart.

0:41:18 > 0:41:23I think Barry Sheene and Valentino Rossi are both motorcyclists.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26I think maybe David Coulthard never won the World Championship.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29The first one you gave me was Michael Schumacher.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Is Michael Schumacher a right answer?
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Yes.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Is Jackie Stewart a right answer?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- Oh!- He's not.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57He did win the Formula 1 World Championship,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00but he didn't win it four or more times.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04That means that the ten grand is now out the window.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09- Yeah.- But you are currently holding on to the daily price pot of £1,200.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14What we do not want to see
0:42:14 > 0:42:17is the !mpossible exclamation mark.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Is Niki Lauda a right answer?
0:42:26 > 0:42:29No, he isn't.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- But you've still won £1,200.- Yes!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35APPLAUSE
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- The right answers, the ones you were looking for...- I think I know.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Yeah.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49The impossible answers, as you said, David Coulthard never won it.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54Barry Sheene and Valentino Rossi, both motorbike riders.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57You can forget all that, though, Neil, because you've just won £1,200!
