Episode 9 Impossible

I'm Rick Edwards, and this is !mpossible.

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, our 24 players.

-Hello, players! ALL:

-Hello, Rick!

They spend two weeks with us and every day

one of them will have the chance to unlock this.

Everyone's favourite outsized punctuation mark,

rammed with 10,000 pound coins.

At the end of each show, one of this fantastic squad will face the final

question. And here...

..it is - today's £10,000 question.

Get this right, and all of that money comes cascading down.

Time is running out for the chance to win that £10,000,

so we do need to concentrate, guys.

Yesterday, Jen left us.

And today's new player is Louise.

-Hello, Louise, how are you?

-Hi, Rick. Yeah, well, thank you.

And what would you do if you got your hands on the money?

Erm, my dream is to buy a vintage ice cream van

and turn it into a mobile pavlova bar.

Erm, excuse me? LAUGHTER

In my good ear, Louise, a mobile pavlova bar?

-Yes.

-What are you going to call it?

Erm - "Meringue, Milord".

If we can just get Louise's coat...!

It was either that or "Meringue-utan".

Ooh, now we're talking!

OK! Will - you've had a...

sort of quiet few days,

had a problem with being too slow on the buzzer...

-Yeah.

-Time to step things up again, I think.

I know, I've been, with Shirley, practising my fast fingering, so...

Ah, yes.

Shirley is the absolute expert. Do the mime, Shirley!

Yes! That's what we all like!

They love that, they love that!

Why don't we all do that together?

Everyone do Shirley fingers!

Mmm!

Heads down, everyone, it's time to focus.

Good luck - we're going to crack on.

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

The right answer gets you a point, the wrong answer gets you nothing.

But if you choose the impossible answer...

No, no, no, no, no.

That immediately knocks you out of today's show,

and you'll have to try again tomorrow.

After five questions, the highest scorer

gets the first chance to bag a place in today's final.

-Ready?

-Yes!

-Here is your first question.

The majority of you have gone with B) George Martin -

let's see if you were right.

You were - a point to you.

That does mean that at this very early stage,

we are going to have to say goodbye to some of you.

-Matthew?

-After the previous Beatles question of a few shows ago,

I don't have a clue.

And then I thought Roy Castle presented Catchphrase?

Mmm. And could he possibly be referred to as the Fifth Beatle,

as a consequence?

I don't even know what I'm doing with my life any more,

if I'm being completely honest.

That's quite sad, really, isn't it?

Let's see what the impossible answer is.

It was C) Roy Castle.

He presented Record Breakers.

I'm sorry. We'll see you all tomorrow.

Trevor Horn is a music producer.

Question number two.

All the answers are out there, full spread.

The right answer...

Is C) Maya Angelou.

So, a point to all of you who went for Maya Angelou.

Cecilia, you went Alice Walker.

I saw Alice, I said, I know, she's an African-American writer,

so I said, let me just go for the first one.

I know it wasn't Doris Lessing.

Let's see if you're right, Cecilia.

The impossible answer...

..was B) Doris Lessing.

Doris Lessing was an English writer.

So, we say goodbye to Ian, Karen, Victory and Wendy.

See you all tomorrow.

Question number three.

The majority of you have gone with A) affogato.

Let's see if that's the right answer.

It is. So, a point to all of you.

Rob, I see you've got a little mascot with you today?

-Hasn't he been lucky for me?!

-Well, we don't know!

Have you given the impossible answer, do you think?

I think so. I was thinking tiramisu, to be honest,

and that's the closest towards it, so...

-Yeah, begins with a T.

-Yeah.

-Good enough!

Let's see what the impossible answer is.

B) Leche Merengada.

Leche Merengada is a type of Spanish milkshake.

So, unfortunately, Mal, Les and Ivor,

-we'll have to say goodbye to you, and we'll see you tomorrow.

-Goodbye.

-See you tomorrow.

-Bye.

Tartufo is a ball of ice cream, often covered in chocolate.

Question number four.

Most of you have gone with C) Mitch Buchanan.

Let's see if the crowd is right.

It is. Point to all of you.

-Cecelia...

-The only one I remember from there is Pamela,

isn't it, Pamela Anderson?

And I don't even know what character she played.

Mmm.

Let's see which of you have given the impossible answer.

It's B), I'm afraid, Rowdy Gaines.

Rowdy Gaines was an American swimmer in real-life.

So, Wisdom and Shirley...

Bad time down in that bottom corner, actually.

-It is, isn't it?

-We'll see you all tomorrow.

OK.

Do you know which character Pamela Anderson played, Cecilia?

No, no idea - I just remember...

Oh, was it CJ?

-Yeah, it was, yeah!

-Oh!

Hi, Pam!

I don't think that's how the quiz works.

Pam, you're going to be a question on !mpossible, it's worth watching.

Well, it IS worth watching.

After just four questions, we've already lost over half of the pack.

Six of you are on four points.

Question number five.

Let's see if you've all managed to avoid the impossible answer.

Unfortunately not.

There is no Shakespeare play called Henry III.

I saw you, I think, guessing up there, Sai?

-Yeah.

-Similarly, Craig.

-Yeah, big guess.

-I'm sorry, but we will see you both tomorrow.

Now, let's see if the rest of you got the right answer,

going for B) Henry V.

Yes.

So, a point to all of you.

Henry VIII IS a Shakespeare play, but it's very rarely performed.

So, we have five contestants on five points at the end of that round.

They are Angela, Jake, Justin, Colette and Louise.

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

was Angela!

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Angela -

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

-Hello, Angela.

-Hi, Rick.

Haven't seen you down here for a while.

Yeah, yeah, it's been a while, it feels like forever.

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

and crucially, take a massive step

towards playing the £10,000 question.

-OK.

-Going to give you a choice of four topics.

-Yes.

-The four topics are...

Film, Books and Literature, Sport and The UK.

OK.

Any of those grab you?

Sport has got to be an absolute no-no.

I'm going to take a punt again on Books and Literature,

and hope it's going to remain lucky for me.

OK.

Ha!

Shirley!

Calm down, dear!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Yep, OK.

Now, we're going to see the first half of a question.

Mm-hmm.

So, we know the drill here - you've got five guesses,

and each impossible answer you eliminate will add £100

to the daily prize pot.

Where would you like to start?

OK, so, I'm going to start with The Gruffalo.

The Gruffalo.

Is The Gruffalo an impossible answer?

The Gruffalo is by Julia Donaldson...

-Yep.

-..and Axel Scheffler.

Second one, er, I'll say is Fungus The Bogeyman.

-Confident again?

-Relatively, yeah.

OK. Is Fungus The Bogeyman an impossible answer?

Yes, it's a Raymond Briggs classic.

-Next.

-I'll say Where The Wild Things Are.

OK. Is Where The Wild Things Are an impossible answer?

It is. By Maurice Sendak.

OK, right, it's getting a bit difficult now.

Erm, I think I'm going to eliminate...

Burglar Bill.

Any thoughts about who that might be by?

I've never heard of it,

which is why I'm thinking it might be more current.

So, no - Burglar Bill.

-OK.

-Not Roald Dahl.

Is Burglar Bill an impossible answer?

It is. By Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

I'm just going to go with my gut,

and I'm going to eliminate The Magic Finger.

Is The Magic Finger an impossible answer?

Unfortunately not.

It is a children's book by Roald Dahl.

You've put £400 into the prize pot, though.

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

and I'll be looking for the right answer.

-OK.

-But if you give me a wrong answer,

the next-best player

will have the chance to steal your place in the final.

And I can reveal that player is Justin.

Shall we have a look at the full question?

-Yes, please.

-OK.

Which children's book by Roald Dahl

features a man who is secretly a pheasant poacher?

I don't know.

Did you read these books when you were a kid?

It was a long time ago!

I did read Fantastic Mr Fox, I did read Danny Champion Of The World.

But I can't remember the stories.

So, I'm going to say The Magic Finger.

-You're going to go with The Magic Finger.

-Yeah.

If this is right,

then you'll take your place in the final, Angela.

If it's wrong, we pass it over to Justin.

Is The Magic Finger a right answer?

I'm afraid it isn't, it's a wrong answer.

-Yeah.

-Which means that we throw it over to Justin.

I'm going to go with Fantastic Mr Fox.

Because foxes hunt and eat pheasants - that's the only logic.

Is Fantastic Mr Fox the right answer?

It's not, I'm afraid.

Unlucky, Justin. Angela...

-Yep.

-You can breathe a deep sigh of relief.

Yep. Definitely.

Well, I can tell you that the right answer is

-Danny The Champion Of The World.

-OK.

The Tiger Who Came To Tea is the remaining impossible answer.

-Yep.

-It's by Judith Kerr.

-Esio Trot...

-Tortoise.

-..Spells tortoise, backwards.

-Yep.

-And The Magic Finger is about a tap-dancing former casting director.

Shirley!

Sorry, I read that wrong.

Erm... It's about a little girl

who uses her magic finger on the family next door!

Very, very lucky escape there, Angela.

-Absolutely.

-But we will see you in today's final.

-Thank you.

CHEERING

Still two places left to claim in today's final, alongside Angela.

Let's find out who's going to be grabbing one.

Here's your first question.

So, we've got mainly C)s and a couple of A)s.

The answer you were looking for...

Was C) HMP Slade.

A point to everyone who went for C).

Lesley, you went for HMP Farnleigh.

Erm, I'm not sure at all.

I just took a guess.

OK, let's see if you've avoided the impossible answer.

You have! The impossible answer was B) HMP Leyhill.

Which is a real prison in Gloucestershire.

HMP Farnleigh is the prison they use in Morse and Endeavour.

Question number two.

Cecilia, you went Lithuania.

I'm not really good at that part of Europe,

but I think Lithuania, Poland,

I always kind of put them together, so I'll see what happens.

Let's first see which of you has given the impossible answer.

A) Slovenia.

That's in southern central Europe.

Meaning we have to say goodbye to you, Colette, and you, Louise.

See you both tomorrow.

Now, to the right answer.

Lithuania. You do always put Lithuania and Poland together,

you've said it before, Cecilia!

Thank you!

And you get a point for it, as does Jason.

Question number three.

Jake, any clue?

No, I just went for the one that didn't have a J in it.

You did!

I think it's a good tactic!

OK. Let's find out if you have the impossible answer.

It was B) Rajab, I'm afraid, Jason - we'll see you tomorrow.

Rajab is the second sacred month of the Islamic calendar.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It was...

A) Zakat.

No way!

-Yes way, Jake!

-I was certain it would just be the wrong answer,

that's why I went for it, but not the impossible one!

Still got absolutely no idea what you were talking about, Jake,

but you were bang on.

And you and Rob both get a point.

OK, question number four.

OK, all five of you have gone with A) Jack Ryan.

Let's see if you're right.

You are. So, a point to all of you.

The impossible answer, that you successfully avoided, was...

B) Jim Hacker - he's a character from Yes, Minister

and Yes, Prime Minister.

So, moving on to question five.

Jake and Rob are on three points.

So, you've all gone for B) Okapi, except for Lesley,

who has gone for capybara.

The impossible answer you were trying to avoid...

..is capybara, I'm afraid, Lesley.

That is a South American mammal.

-I was clinging on.

-You WERE clinging on, and now you're clinging off.

-See you tomorrow, Lesley.

-Bye.

Let's see if the rest of you were right to go for B) Okapi.

Yes. So, a point to all of you,

which means that Jake and Rob finish on four points apiece.

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

..was Rob!

APPLAUSE

You've got a chance to grab the second place in today's final!

Rob, great to have you down here.

-Great to be here, Rick.

-What do you do with yourself, Rob,

are you still working, are you retired, or...?

Retired, yeah. Took early retirement - best thing I ever did.

-Uh-huh.

-Do a lot of walking, erm, into Wales and what have you,

also riding the motorbike, again into Wales and roundabout.

I'm writing a book, as well. So, lots of stuff.

I wonder what I did when I was at work now,

-how I had the time to do anything.

-Very nice, very nice.

-Yeah.

-So, Rob, these are the ones

that Angela has left for you to choose from.

-OK.

-Film, Sport and The UK.

Which of those do you reckon?

-Erm, Film, I think.

-Film?

Sport I would have gone for, but there's loads of sports out there.

I know there's lots of films out there,

but I'm more likely to know...

OK. So, Film feels like a sensible option.

Here are those nine answers.

How many of them have you seen?

Erm... About five, five, I think.

Not bad, that's not bad.

This is the first half of the question, Rob.

So, we know that five of those answers are impossible.

Where would you like to start?

OK. Erm, I don't think he was in The Graduate,

cos that was Dustin Hoffman.

OK. Is The Graduate an impossible answer?

It is. Exactly right.

Starred Dustin Hoffman.

I don't think he was in The Deer Hunter, either.

I think that's Robert De Niro in that.

So I'll go for The Deer Hunter, please.

OK. Is The Deer Hunter an impossible answer?

It is. Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken.

Where would you like to go next?

I know the ones he's been in,

so I'm just not taking the others out without knowing who is in them.

So, I don't think he was in Goodfellas,

-although I haven't seen it.

-OK.

Is Goodfellas an impossible answer?

Another Robert De Niro film.

Impeccable record so far, Rob.

Erm, Good Will Hunting, don't think he's in that.

Have you seen Good Will Hunting?

No, but I know the ones that he's in, so...

-So, you think we're all right here.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Good Will Hunting - is that an impossible answer?

Yes, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

And the last one, I know he isn't in it, he can't be,

cos he's in the other four - it's Mean Streets.

Is Mean Streets an impossible answer?

It is.

Very good, Rob.

Another Robert De Niro film, also starring Harvey Keitel.

So, £500 added to the prize fund, now stands at £900.

Flawless stuff so far, Rob.

But will you be playing for that money

and 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 me that right answer, the place in the final is yours.

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 person was Jake.

The good news is, no Js up there.

Oh, so I can't eliminate them ones!

Now, you're in a very strong position, Rob.

Cos there are no impossible answers left to trip you up.

Let's reveal the full question.

Because it's the best-known one, and it was one of his early ones,

I'm going to say...

The Godfather.

Is The Godfather the right answer?

I'm afraid it isn't.

He was nominated for it, but didn't win.

So, that is a wrong answer, meaning I have to go over to Jake.

Jake - if you get this right, you will steal Rob's place in the final.

It's like, before I came on the show, I revised...

-You square!

-..all of the best actors.

I don't know why I knew he was in Scent Of A Woman

because I have no idea what that film is as well.

But I still don't want to go for it

because I know I will just kick myself if I didn't go for Scarface,

which is... Which I feel

is the one that he as an actor is most famous for.

So, I'm going to go for Scarface.

Did Al Pacino win the Best Actor Oscar for his role in Scarface?

No! It isn't - I'm afraid that's wrong.

Rob, want to have another crack?

I think it IS Scent Of A Woman.

You're absolutely right, it is Scent Of A Woman.

All I can say is, you should have revised just slightly harder, Jake.

Rob, great news for you, though.

-We'll see you in today's final.

-Thank you.

Just one place up for grabs in today's final,

but who's it going to be?

There's only three of you surviving now.

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

-Yeah.

Good luck - here's your first question.

So, the three of you are not in agreement.

The right answer...

..is A) Animals.

-A point to Jake and a point to Justin.

-No way!

Cecilia?

I seem to remember a Pink Floyd tune

that had something about wall in it.

Mmm. The impossible answer...

..is C) Off The Wall, Cecilia.

Michael Jackson album!

SHE SQUEALS

LAUGHTER

It's good that you can laugh about it, Cecilia!

You have knocked yourself out, I'm afraid.

-All right.

-We'll see you tomorrow.

-See you.

Pink Floyd's was The Wall.

So, just the two Js, Jake and Justin, on a point apiece.

Question number two.

Justin, you went with gypsum.

I think talc is talcum powder and it's processed, so it's not...

It's not a real rock.

Jake, is talc a real rock?

I don't know, but I was thinking of talcum powder,

so I was thinking it's kind of like a mineral.

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

C) Solanum.

Which is a genus of plant which includes potatoes.

The right answer...

..is A) talc.

Gypsum is number two, Justin.

-Right.

-So, Jake, you get a point.

-Thanks.

Ready for question three? Here it comes.

Which British reptile, despite its name,

is actually classed as a lizard?

Jake, that biology degree, is it standing you in good stead here?

Yeah, I think so.

Let's see if you're right to be confident.

You are.

The impossible answer, I can tell you...

..was B) cane toad.

The cane toad is an amphibian

which is native to central and South America.

So, Jake, you're on three points, Justin, you're on one.

Let's move on to question four.

You two agree on very little.

-Justin?

-I know there is a Princess Alexandra -

whether she's still alive or dead is another thing,

but maybe somebody takes over the title.

Zara is definitely not a princess.

OK. Let's see what the impossible answer was.

Yeah, it was Zara.

Not a princess.

So, let's see which of you gets the point.

A) Alexandra.

-Well played.

-Point to you, Justin,

Alexandra is the first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II.

So, going into the last question...

You've given different answers again.

The impossible answer...

Was A.

Der Rosenkavalier is by Richard Strauss.

But who has given the right answer?

It's Justin, with Lohengrin.

Which ties up the points, three apiece.

Lohengrin is a legendary figure, so it's just someone's name, basically.

So, it's coming down to who's answered quick across the round -

and that is Jake!

Congratulations!

You have the last chance to grab a place in the final!

How are you feeling, Jake?

Nervous, maybe - maybe third time's a charm.

You've actually had a very good record, you've faced 96 questions...

-Yeah.

-And you've only given four impossibles.

-Really?

Which is the best record of anyone here.

-Wow!

-We know that your good areas are biology and animals and so on.

-Yeah.

-Have you revised either of the two topics that are remaining,

which are...?

These are tricky ones, like, to revise for.

It's hard to remember people's names,

that's the thing I really struggle with,

so I think I'm going to go for the UK,

and maybe hope it's more of a geography-type question

because I'm all right at geography.

I'm going to show you nine answers,

and those nine answers are...

This isn't good.

Erm, ranks in the...

Army.

The first half of the question...

See?

You've got five goes, and each impossible answer you eliminate

will add £100 to the daily prize pot.

Where would you like to start?

Major's got a J in it, let's go for Major.

LAUGHTER

Is Major an impossible answer?

It IS!

Major is a British Army rank.

Staff Sergeant.

Staff Sergeant.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say, "Staff Sergeant"

with less conviction, Jake!

Is Staff Sergeant an impossible answer?

It IS!

It's another Army rank.

What?!

So, we're just looking for a letter you don't like,

-or a word that you don't like.

-Yeah.

Well, I'm going to go Commodore, because it sounds like condor,

which is a bird, so I'm thinking of the Air Force now.

Is Commodore an impossible answer?

Oh!

Doesn't sound enough like condor.

-Oh, no, it doesn't.

-It is a Navy rank.

OK. I'm going to go...

-Two goes remaining.

-Two goes.

I'm going to go Colonel.

Is Colonel an impossible answer?

It IS!

Another Army rank.

Group Captain, I'm just going to leave it, because like, like,

Captain Hook, he's the captain of a boat.

So, and like,

we're not going to have Commander and Lieutenant Commander and then

Lieutenant at the end.

So, it's one of those three, for sure - for sure!

So, the one I'm going to get rid of is...

Oh, I'm just going to meet in the middle and go Lieutenant Commander.

Is Lieutenant Commander an impossible answer?

I'm afraid it's not, it is a rank in the Royal Navy.

Still, £300 added to the prize pot, which now stands at £1,200.

-Yeah.

-And in a moment,

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

and I'm going to be looking for the right answer.

Give me a wrong answer, and the next-best player

will have the chance to steal your place in the final. That is Justin.

Justin is ready and waiting.

Let's have a look at the full question.

Erm...

I think I'm going to have to play it safe,

because I have absolutely no idea,

I'm going to have to go for one that isn't impossible,

so that it can possibly come back to me

if Justin doesn't know the answer.

-Great game play!

-Ha-ha!

So, I'm going to go for Lieutenant Commander.

Is Lieutenant Commander the right answer?

It's not, I'm afraid.

It's a wrong answer.

Justin, throwing over to you.

I at first thought Commodore was civilian

because there's a Commodore at the yacht club.

It's a toss-up between Commander and Commodore.

And I could be wrong, I'm going to go with Commodore.

Is Commodore the right answer?

-Oh!

-It IS!

-No!

-Well done, Justin - you have nabbed Jake's place in the final.

Unlucky, Jake.

-Ah!

-Let's just clear up the grid.

Group Captain is in the RAF.

And Brigadier is in the Army.

So, bad luck, Jake, you are back in the pack.

But Justin - you're in the final!

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

but you will have one last chance tomorrow.

-See you then! ALL:

-Bye.

But for Angela, Rob and Justin, it's time for the final.

So, Angela, Rob and Justin - there's £1,200 in today's prize pot,

but only one of you can win that money

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

What would you do with the money, Justin?

I'd probably invest in a small hovercraft or a boat

-and just mess about over the summer.

-A small hovercraft!

-Yep.

-I like that, Justin.

-Yep.

-OK.

You are each going to start with ten lives.

There they are. Questions are on the buzzer.

However, some of the questions are impossible.

If you think you've spotted one of those,

all you have to do is buzz in and say impossible.

That will mean two lives from each of your opponents.

But be warned -

if you say the question is impossible when it isn't,

or give any other answer to an impossible question,

it's you that loses those two lives.

Best of luck.

On which date is Independence Day celebrated in the...?

-July the 4th.

-In the US, it IS the 4th of July.

Rob and Justin lose a life.

How many chambers are there in the human heart?

-Four.

-There are four.

Which Renaissance artist painted the fresco

on the ceiling of the Sistine...?

-Michelangelo.

-Sistine Chapel.

It WAS Michelangelo.

Which member of the Geordie presenting duo Ant and Dec

has the surname McLauchlin?

-Impossible.

-It IS impossible.

It's Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

Rob and Angela both lose two lives.

What type of meat is the primary ingredient of guacamole?

-Impossible.

-It IS impossible, the primary ingredient is avocado.

Which pungent-smelling gas

is manufactured using the Haber Process?

Nitrous oxide.

It's not, it's ammonia - you lose a life, Justin.

Which EastEnders character was played by Ricky Tomlinson?

Impossible.

It IS impossible, he was in Brookside.

Which type of mammal

features in George Stubbs' painting Whistlejacket?

-A horse.

-It IS a horse - well done, Justin.

Angela, four, Rob, three, Justin, two.

With regards to hairstyling,

which English word is used for what Americans called bangs?

-A fringe.

-It is the fringe.

Justin, you're down on one life,

Rob, you're on two, Angela, you have four.

In total, how many spots are found on a standard die?

12.

It's not 12, Rob - it's 21.

Rob and Justin, on one life apiece.

Angela, you have four.

Which US city has a Major League Baseball team

called the Blue Jays?

Impossible.

It IS impossible -

they're in Toronto, which is in Canada.

Meaning, Rob,

you lose your last remaining life, and I'm afraid you're out.

Angela, you also lose two lives.

Angela, you're on two.

Justin, you have one life.

Who stars as Shirley Valentine in the 19...?

Pauline Collins.

In the 1989 film of the same name - it IS Pauline Collins.

Justin, you lose your last remaining life.

Rob and Justin, commiserations, but you will be back tomorrow.

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Very well done, Angela.

-Thank you.

You are today's winner, with £1,200. That's great.

-Yep.

-Of course it is. But you could be leaving with a lot more,

IF you can answer the £10,000 question.

-Mm-hmm.

-What will you do with that?

-When Louise was talking earlier on

about her, erm, venture - I also wish to do...

-Meringue-utan!

-..wish to do something of the same ilk.

-Erm...

-Oh, really?

-Yeah.

My dream is to ultimately have a vintage teashop.

-Love the sound of this.

-Yeah, with nice china cups.

-You've got a customer here.

-Oh, that would be amazing.

Celebrity endorsement!

Hmm. Ish, I mean, I don't know if I count!

OK. You know how this works by now.

-Yes.

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

Three of the nine answers are correct -

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

Mm-hmm.

-That's the good news.

-Yep.

The less good news is that three of those answers are wrong.

If you pick any of those, you will not win the ten grand.

The bad news is that three of those nine answers are impossible.

-Yeah.

-Give me any of those and you will lose the £1,200.

You do only get one shot at the £10,000 question.

Whatever happens, you will be leaving the show today.

I can tell you that the topic...

..is musicals.

OK. I've seen a few in my time.

But it's what the detailed part of it is, so...

-Yeah.

-All right, let's see, are you ready?

Ready.

-Good luck.

-Thank you very much.

Here are your nine answers.

And you're looking for...

And your time starts now.

Happy Talk.

Getting To Know You.

Many A New Day.

So, the first one you went with was Happy Talk.

Yeah. It's, I believe, in a musical.

Whether it's a Rodgers and Hammerstein or not,

whether it's in South Pacific, no idea!

Is Happy Talk a right answer?

It IS!

The next answer you gave me was Getting To Know You.

Again, I've heard it. Familiar with the song.

Couldn't tell you where it comes from.

Is Getting To Know You

a right answer?

Getting To Know You is from The King And I.

-Ah, OK.

-The last answer you gave...

-Yeah.

-..was Many A New Day.

Which I've never heard of!

No idea about it!

I'm now thinking I should have maybe picked Some Enchanted Evening.

Well, we're all hoping

that it's not impossible...

-Yeah.

-So you hold onto that £1,200.

Is Many A New Day a right answer?

It's not a right answer, but it's not an impossible answer, Angela!

With, I think, three guesses, you've won £1,200!

I'm very happy with that!

Thank you so much for playing !mpossible.

-You're absolutely welcome.

-It's been a pleasure having you on.

Many A New Day IS by Rodgers and Hammerstein, it's from Oklahoma.

Oh, OK.

The impossibles that you avoided -

There's No Business Like Show Business is by Irving Berlin,

that's from Annie Get Your Gun.

Anything Goes is from the musical of the same name, by Cole Porter.

And Summertime is by George and Ira Gershwin,

and it's from Porgy And Bess.

-But you avoided all of those.

-I knew that one!

You were tempted by Some Enchanted Evening.

-Mm-hmm.

-That IS in South Pacific.

Mm-hmm.

And the last remaining one is There Is Nothing Like A Dame.

-Which I definitely didn't...

-That was the other right answer.

But Angela - you're going home with £1,200!

So, Angela leaves us with the daily prize pot.

The rest of us will be back tomorrow,

when someone else will have the chance to win ten grand.

This has been !mpossible,

the quiz where, actually, anything is possible.

Goodbye.
