0:00:02 > 0:00:04I'm Rick Edwards and this is Impossible.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Welcome to Impossible, the quiz with the third dimension.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,
0:00:21 > 0:00:23but here we also have impossible answers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26They're not just wrong, they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28It's a new week and indeed a new fortnight
0:00:28 > 0:00:31which means we have 24 brand-new players. Hello, players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33THEY CHEER
0:00:33 > 0:00:34We're in fine voice.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Every day one of them will have the chance to unlock this.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Oooh!
0:00:39 > 0:00:44A giant exclamation mark filled with 10,000 shimmering pound coins.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46At the end of each show,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49one of this dazzling two dozen will face the final question.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Here is that final question.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Today's £10,000 question.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Get this right and all of that money will come flooding out.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Angela. Lovely to have you here.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- How are you feeling? - I'm feeling good, thanks, Rick.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Yeah. What do you do, Angela?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Well, I watch every quiz show that's on television!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Let me ask you, got a favourite at all, Angela?
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Um, I couldn't possibly answer that question.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Very good, Angela.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19I like you, Angela.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Terry.- Hi, Rick.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Are you well? - I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I'll feel even better with £10,000 in my pocket!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28If you were to win it, what would you do with it?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Ideally for my wife and myself to go to New Zealand for a trip.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- How come?- I love rugby, Kiwis are the best rugby team in the world,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41so I'd go in the summer, when they're playing rugby.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43What a great trip for your wife, Terry.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44- Absolutely.- Good luck to all of you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46This is Ian, by the way,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49who is the British Sign Language interpreter working with Ciaran.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52We'll be getting to know all of our lovely players over the next
0:01:52 > 0:01:53two weeks. Shall we crack on?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Yes!- That's the right answer.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58You'll face five multiple choice questions, each with three answers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00The right answer scores you a point,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02the wrong answer scores you nothing,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06but if you choose the impossible answer, it's a bit of a nightmare -
0:02:06 > 0:02:09you will immediately be knocked out of today's show,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and you'll have to try again tomorrow.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13After five questions, the highest scorer gets the first chance
0:02:13 > 0:02:15to bag a place in today's final,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and do answer as quickly as you can because if there's a tie,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21whoever locked in their answers the fastest will qualify.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Good luck. Here's your first question.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38The vast majority of you have gone with A, Sagittarius.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Let's see if that's right.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42It is, so a point to all of you.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Now, Abigail. You're one of the few who went for Aquarius.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I have no idea what...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I should... I thought it could be between A and B.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Well, it was A.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Definitely was A. - The impossible answer...
0:02:57 > 0:03:00..is C, not a sign of the zodiac.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Nefarious means wicked.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05So Franklyn, Linda and Abigail, you survive.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Question number two.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21All answers out there, which means we are going to be losing one
0:03:21 > 0:03:24or more of you at this early stage I'm afraid.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25The right answer...
0:03:27 > 0:03:28..is C, Seville,
0:03:28 > 0:03:29so a point to all of you.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Now, I don't want to feel like I'm picking on you here, Abigail...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36However...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38You're slightly out on your own again.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Yes.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Just do what you've got to do, Rick.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43We know what's going to happen!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Tell me, what do you think is going to happen, Abigail?
0:03:45 > 0:03:46I'm about to be out.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50The impossible answer...
0:03:51 > 0:03:52..is A, Almada.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- It's not a Spanish city.- Are you sure?- I am actually, Abigail.- 100%?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57It's in Portugal.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00And I'm also 100% sure that means we have to say goodbye now.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01We'll see you tomorrow.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03See you tomorrow.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Question number three.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20So we've only got As and Bs out there.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Let's see if you've avoided the impossible.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26You have, that was C, Captain Sensible.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Not a fictional sailor. A music artiste.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32He was the guitarist in The Damned.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34And the right answer...
0:04:35 > 0:04:37So a point to all of you who went for A,
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Captain Pugwash.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Question number four.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53A full house of answers.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Means we're going to be losing some people.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Kurtis.- Hi.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59The krona. Ever spent any krona?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03No. I thought it sounded like a type of currency so I went for it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Annie?- I don't think sloten.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I think that might be the impossible one,
0:05:07 > 0:05:08so I'm hoping that I might be still in.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Ciaran, you went for sloten.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12How are you feeling about it?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14After what they've just been saying with regards to sloten
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I think I've got the impossible one,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20and for me it sounded like a Dutch word anyway so that's kind of why I
0:05:20 > 0:05:23picked it. So, good luck to me!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, let's find out. The impossible answer...
0:05:30 > 0:05:32..is A, sloten.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Not a currency.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Sloten does sound like a Dutch word because it was a village that is now
0:05:38 > 0:05:39part of Amsterdam.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42So Ciaran and Junaid, we'll see you both tomorrow.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Let's see where the points are going.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49C, guilder.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51So a point to all of you who went for C.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Krone is a currency used in Denmark and Norway.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Going into the final question of this round, 21 of you still in play.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Nine of you on a maximum four points.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04So this might well come down to who locks in their answers the fastest
0:06:04 > 0:06:07across the round, so get those fingers ready.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Question number five.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Almost all of you have gone with B, crochet.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25You haven't, Sam.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Have you avoided the impossible answer?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- I think so.- Eve, are you feeling happy in the pack?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I've been known to do a bit of crocheting before.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Oh, have you now, Eve?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I don't know if I should admit that on telly.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Well, you just have.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Let's see if you have successfully avoided the impossible answer, Sam.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48You have. That was C, petanque, not a handicraft,
0:06:48 > 0:06:53it's the game that old French guys play with the metal balls.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55And let's see where the points are going.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59B, crochet, so a point to all of you.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01So at the end of that round,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03nine of you finish on a maximum five points,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07but the quickest to lock in their answers across the round
0:07:07 > 0:07:09was Matthew.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Congratulations, Matthew,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12you have the first chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Hello, Matthew.- Hello, Rick.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21- First down.- I know.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- I'm a bit shocked. - You've got lovely quick fingers.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Sometimes I play quizzes at home on the PlayStation...
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Ah, so you've had a bit of buzzer practice.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31I've had a bit of buzzer practice,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34and I'm banned from doing it now at Christmas because I always win.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- That is fighting talk, the rest of you.- Yeah!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39What do you do when you're not practising on the buzzer?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I'm a self-employed graphic designer and a letterpress printer.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Great. And just for anyone who doesn't know,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46described the process of letterpress.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49It's a bit like a jigsaw. You put all the wooden type in,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51you put all the bits and pieces you're going to print with
0:07:51 > 0:07:52in what they call the chase,
0:07:52 > 0:07:57and put your paper on, and all the wooden blocks are the reverse.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00So you've got to be good at trying to spell something backwards,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03so that when you print it, it doesn't then read the wrong way.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05One of the grids is words spelt backwards,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07so you're in business, yeah.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Shall we get on with the grids?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Please, yes.- So this is your chance to put up to £500 into the daily
0:08:12 > 0:08:13prize pot and, crucially,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16take a massive step towards playing the £10,000 question.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'm going to give you a choice of four topics.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Here they come.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I think I'm going to avoid the books and literature,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30and probably the politics,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32and I'll probably try for the pop music.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37All right. Here's how it works. I'm going to show you nine answers
0:08:37 > 0:08:38all relating to pop music.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Ringing any bells?
0:08:51 > 0:08:52I think it's Radiohead.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Shall we have a look at the first half of the question?- Yeah, please.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Very good, Matthew.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, we know that five of those answers are impossible.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04They couldn't possibly be the answer
0:09:04 > 0:09:06because they're not songs by Radiohead.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Your job is to find those impossible answers and eliminate them.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12For every one that you successfully eliminate, you put £100
0:09:12 > 0:09:15into the daily prize pot. Where would you like to start?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Um, we'll start with Beetlebum.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I think that might be Blur.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Is Beetlebum an impossible answer?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Absolutely spot on, one of Blur's two number one hits.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32The other one was Country House.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Where next? £100 in the daily prize pot.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Um, we'll go for Morning Glory.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Is Morning Glory an impossible answer?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45It is, by Oasis.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Two from two. Very nice start, Matthew.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I'll go Plug In Baby.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It doesn't sound very Radioheady, but...
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Plug In Baby because it doesn't sound very Radioheady.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It is. That one's by Muse.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Three from three.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Two more goes, let's get rid of two more impossible answers.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10We'll go for Fake Plastic Trees.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Is Fake Plastic Trees an impossible answer?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Unfortunately not - that is Radioheady.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Yeah.- One last go.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26We'll go for No Surprises and hope there's No Surprises.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31So No Surprises.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Oh, there is a surprise.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Still, though, £300 put into the prize pot.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Two impossible answers remain up there.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42We need to see if you're going to be playing for that money and a shot at
0:10:42 > 0:10:44the £10,000 question in today's final.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47So in a moment I'm going to reveal the second half of the question
0:10:47 > 0:10:49and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Give me the right answer, you're in the final,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56give me a wrong answer and the next best player will have a chance
0:10:56 > 0:10:57to steal your place in the final.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02I can reveal that the next best player was Peter.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07If you were to give me an impossible answer here,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09and we know there are still two up there,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12you will be eliminated from today's show.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Shall we have a look at the whole question?- Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Which Radiohead song
0:11:16 > 0:11:20did David Cameron pick as one of his Desert Island Discs?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'm not going to play it safe.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I'm going to just try and go for what I think it might be,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27and I'll go for...
0:11:27 > 0:11:28..Creep.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Creep.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Did David Cameron pick Creep as one of his Desert Island discs?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I'm afraid he didn't.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41But it is a Radiohead song so you're still in.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Given it's a wrong answer, we throw over to Peter.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I'm going to...just going to play it safe, Rick.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51You said it was a Radiohead song so it won't be impossible,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53so I'll say Fake Plastic Trees.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55OK. So if this is right,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58you've stolen Matthew's place in the final.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01If it's wrong, Matthew's in the final.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Did David Cameron pick Fake Plastic Trees
0:12:03 > 0:12:05as one of his Desert Island Discs?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09He did, you know.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10He did.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Well done, Peter.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15You've stolen Matthew's place in the final.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Just to clear up the rest of the grid...
0:12:18 > 0:12:22..the other impossible answers were Comfortably Numb,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25by Pink Floyd...
0:12:25 > 0:12:28..and This Is Hardcore by Pulp.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Another of David Cameron's Desert Island Discs was
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Ernie, The Fastest Milkman In The West, by Benny Hill.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Bad luck, Matthew. You're back in the pack for the next round.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39But Peter, well done, you're in the final.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Still two places left in today's final alongside Peter.
0:12:48 > 0:12:5020 of you left.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51- Are you all ready?- Yes.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Good luck, here's your first question.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10All answers out there.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12The impossible answer...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15..is A, Graham Norton.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Graham Norton is Irish, not British,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- which means Yvonne, and Angela... - Yeah.- ..we'll see you both tomorrow.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- See you, Rick.- Bye.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27And a point to everyone who went for the right answer, which is..
0:13:28 > 0:13:30..B, Eddie Izzard.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Question number two.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Again, all answers out there.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58It's B, the Australian Open is not one of the four majors, I'm afraid,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00so Alyssa and Kurtis, we'll see you both tomorrow.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04And the right answer...
0:14:05 > 0:14:09..was C, the Masters, which is always played at Augusta.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12So a point to everyone who went for that.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The four major championships in golf are the US Open, the Masters,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18the Open or the British Open, and the PGA.
0:14:18 > 0:14:2116 of you left in play, question number three.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38And we have got all answers out there.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Eve, why did you go for A?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I've read this book so many times to my kids I'm hoping I've got it
0:14:43 > 0:14:46right. I think it's, "There was an old lady who swallowed a horse,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48"she's dead of course."
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Not very jolly for a kids' book!
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Yeah. It's pretty morbid.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Let's see if Eve's confidence in the books that she's read to her kids
0:14:57 > 0:14:59is well placed. The right answer...
0:15:01 > 0:15:02..is A, horse.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04So well done to everyone who went for that.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08A point to you. And your recall of the rhyme was exactly correct, Eve.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Let's see what the impossible answer is.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15It's C, pig.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18At no point does she swallow a pig,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21so, Sam, Linda and Eddie, I'm afraid we say goodbye.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Question number four.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Pretty even spread here between the As, the Bs and Cs.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43The impossible answer...
0:15:45 > 0:15:47..is A, hyena.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49The hyena is not a wildcat.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53So Joe, Tracey and Eve, I'm afraid we say goodbye here.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56If only the old woman had eaten a hyena, Eve.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59And the right answer...
0:16:01 > 0:16:03..is C, the ocelot.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05So a point to everyone who went for that.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Going into the final question,
0:16:07 > 0:16:08ten of you left in play.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Three of you have a maximum four points.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Question five.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So we've only got Caesars and Corneliuses.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Let's see if you have all managed to avoid the impossible answer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35You have. That's B, Caligula.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Not a character in the film, was a Roman emperor.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39And the correct answer...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42..is A, Caesar.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44So a point to all of you who went for Caesar.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Which means at the end of that round the middle row continue to have
0:16:47 > 0:16:50a stormer, two of them finishing in a maximum of five points.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51They are Terry and Kathryn.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Well done!
0:16:56 > 0:16:59But the quickest to lock in their answers across the round...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01..was Kathryn.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Oh, wow!- Congratulations, Kathryn.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06You have the second chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Hello, Kathryn.- Hello, Rick.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- How are you? - Um, quite amazed that I'm here,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- and a bit nervous.- Fine to be a little bit nervous, Kathryn.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- That's OK. - You did very well up there.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Hm-mm.- What do you do, Kathryn? I'm a retired tax collector.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- AUDIENCE: Ooh! - See, works every time, Rick.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29An absolute charm.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32How to win friends and influence people over here.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Exactly. Yes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35And what do you do now you're not collecting taxes?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Well, I sing in Huddersfield Rock Choir.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39- Rock choir!- Yes.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42And what is your absolute favourite to belt out in the choir?
0:17:42 > 0:17:43The choir anthem for some years
0:17:43 > 0:17:46has been the Labi Siffre Something Inside So Strong,
0:17:46 > 0:17:50because that's really...sort of gets the old juices flowing
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- so that's a good one.- Um, OK.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Shall we get on with it?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Yes.- So I'm going to show you a choice of three topics.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59They are...
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Um, I think I'll go for books and literature, please.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- Yeah?- Mm-hm.- Right, here we go.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Nine answers, and they are...
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Means nothing.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30- Nothing?- Odd ones like Toby Belch is Shakespeare, I think.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Shall we see if the first half of the question helps you out a bit?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34I think so.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Any help, Kathryn?- Well, not really, I've never read Moby Dick.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Going to be pure guesswork, I think, is this one.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46OK, so five of those answers are impossible.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50They couldn't possibly be the answer because they're not characters from
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Moby Dick. I want you to find those answers, get rid of them.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55For each one you successfully get rid of,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59put £100 into the daily prize pot, which currently stands at £300.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Where do you want to start?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well, I've mentioned Belch,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and I think that's a Shakespeare character, so I'll go for that.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Is Belch an impossible answer?
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Yes.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Sir Toby Belch from Twelfth Night.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- You were spot on. - It's pure guesswork from now on.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Starbuck seems a bit wrong, doesn't it, for Moby Dick?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- I'll go for Starbuck. - Is Starbuck an impossible answer?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- No.- It's not.- Oh!- Never mind.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Three more goes. - I'll go for Smollett.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Is Smollett an impossible answer?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Yes. Smollett is a character from Treasure Island
0:19:39 > 0:19:40- by Robert Louis Stevenson.- OK.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Hall seems too normal so I'll just go for Hall.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Hall, because it's a bit boring. - Yeah.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48OK. Is Hall an impossible answer?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Doing slightly better than I thought.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Doing very nicely.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Three out of four. Hall is the real surname of the music artist Moby,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02who claims to be related to Herman Melville
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- and that's why he's called Moby.- Ah.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Right.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Well, I have an idea...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09..which two are,
0:20:09 > 0:20:14so I'm left with three now that I don't know anything about at all.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I'll go for Quisling.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Wasn't he a traitor in World War II?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21OK. Is Quisling an impossible answer?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27And, once again, Kathryn, you're absolutely right.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30He was a famous traitor in World War II
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and is now a term for any traitor who sides with the enemy.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34- Right.- So you didn't like the look
0:20:34 > 0:20:36of this grid, but you've got four out of five.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Yeah, it's pure luck, pure luck.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Keep that luck going, Kathryn.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42The prize pot now stands at £700.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45We want to find out if you're going to be playing for that money
0:20:45 > 0:20:48and for a shot at the £10,000 question in today's final.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50So I'm going to reveal the second half of the question
0:20:50 > 0:20:53and I want the right answer.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Give me the right answer, all is well, you're in the final.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Give me a wrong answer,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02the next best player will have the chance to steal. As you know,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04that is your neighbour, Terry.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Uh-huh.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Terry. Have you read Moby Dick?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Yes.- Oh!
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Ooh! Ooh!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13But it was over 50 years ago.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14So a bit of encouragement there.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Maybe he can't remember it. Now, if you were to give me an impossible
0:21:17 > 0:21:20answer here, Kathryn, and there is still one up there,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- sadly, you will be eliminated from today's show.- OK.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Shall we reveal the full question?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Please do.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36I'm trying to think.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I think I know who the narrator of the story is,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42but I don't know if that's the same person as the captain.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- Hm.- So I can only guess.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Mm-hm.- And I will say Ishmael.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Is Ishmael the captain of the whaling ship the Pequod?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53For a place in the final, Kathryn.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- No.- Oh, so that is a wrong answer.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Not an impossible answer, though. - Hm-mm.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Terry, we're throwing over to you.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03You read it 50 years ago.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04- Yeah.- Let's dig deep.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Give me the right answer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07- Ahab.- Yeah.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Ahab. Kathryn thinks you're right.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Yeah.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Is Ahab captain of the whaling ship the Pequod?
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Yes.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Well done, Terry.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Sorry, Kathryn.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Absolutely right, and you were kind of right as well, Kathryn,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Ishmael is the narrator but not the captain.- Hm. Captain.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32The other impossible answer that you avoided was Fawley,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Fawley is Jude Fawley from Jude The Obscure, the Hardy novel.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Wouldn't have known that in a million years.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39- Bad luck, Kathryn.- Never mind.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- You're back in the pack for the next round.- Hm-mm.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Terry, please take your place in the final.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Just one place up for grabs in the final - whose is it going to be?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Only nine of you surviving now.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Are we ready?- Yes.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58OK, good luck. Here's your first question.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13So we've just got As and Bs out there.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15No-one tempted by a nip of Calvados.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Let's see if you've avoided the impossible answer.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22You have. Calvados is a French apple brandy.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24And the points are going to...
0:23:26 > 0:23:28..the Bs. Retsina.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Retsina is a Greek white wine.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Question number two.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Only As and Bs out there.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Josh, you've gone for C, Red Dragon.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Yeah, I'm a big fan of Hannibal, but on second thoughts
0:23:52 > 0:23:53I think I might have got this wrong.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I think it is Silence Of The Lambs.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Sue, you thought Silence Of The Lambs.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I know it's not The Firm, because that's John Grisham.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04I don't know anything about Red Dragon but I do know that obviously
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Hannibal Lecter was in Silence Of The Lambs so that's why I pressed A.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10So, sort of played it a bit safe.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11I did.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14The right answer...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17..is C, Red Dragon.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19So a point to all of you.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Published in 1981.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22And have you played it safe, Sue?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24The impossible answer...
0:24:25 > 0:24:29..is B, exactly as you said, that is a John Grisham novel,
0:24:29 > 0:24:30no Hannibal Lecter in that.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34The Silence Of The Lambs wasn't actually published until 1988.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38All nine of you still in play as we move on to question number three.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57So we have just As and Bs.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Well ,let's see where the points are going first.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01The right answer
0:25:01 > 0:25:03is C, Leif the Lucky.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04So the points are going nowhere.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Does mean we're going to be losing some of you.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08The impossible answer...
0:25:10 > 0:25:13..is B, Ethelred the Unready,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15he was an English king in the late tenth
0:25:15 > 0:25:17and early 11th century.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Not a Viking explorer.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21So, Andy and Josh, we say goodbye.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26And, as I'm sure you all knew,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Erik The Red was actually Leif The Lucky's father.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31No? OK!
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Question number four.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Kathryn, you're the solitary Finn.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I think the Madison is a cycling event.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- I'm not sure.- Vicky?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Madison sounded so...
0:25:57 > 0:25:58- Sailing.- ..sailing.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Kathryn's saying it might sound a bit cycle-y.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02She obviously knows more than I do.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04The right answer...
0:26:08 > 0:26:10So just a point to Kathryn.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12The impossible answer...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15..is B, Madison.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17It is a cycling event
0:26:17 > 0:26:20which will be coming back into the Olympics in 2020.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Sue, Franklyn and Vicky, we'll see you tomorrow.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Bye.- Bye.- See you.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30So only four of you left in play as we go on to our final question,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32and Kathryn is out in the lead...
0:26:32 > 0:26:33- Oh.- ..on three points.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Question five.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Matthew, you're the only one who's gone with Love Story.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Teenage Dream, I think that's Katy Perry.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55So let's see if you've all avoided the impossible answer,
0:26:55 > 0:26:56which Matthew thinks is A.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00It is.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01It's a song by Katy Perry.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03And the right answer...
0:27:06 > 0:27:09That peaked at number two in 2009.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12So at the end of that round, once again,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14our winner is Kathryn on three points.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Congratulations, Kathryn.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Come and have another go at a grid.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25How nice to see you again, Kathryn.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27And you. It's been such a long time since we've spoken, Rick.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- It has. We must catch up. - Yeah, I know. I know.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Some people would have been a little despondent
0:27:32 > 0:27:34after seeing Terry steal their place in the final.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Not you, though, Kathryn. - Not at all.- You've rallied.- I have.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Here you are again.- Mm-hm.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40So you know exactly what we're doing here.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- I do, yeah.- You know what topics we've got.- Uh-huh.- They are...
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Whoopee.- Are you being sarcastic with me, Kathryn?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Which do you fancy?- Neither.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55OK. Back up you go.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Although I've travelled quite a lot, my geography is pretty ropey,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02so I think I'll go for politics, please.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Politics?- Mm-hm.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07So we're going to see nine answers relating to politics.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- UN Secretary-Generals?- Could be.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- Shall we have a look at the first half of the question?- Uh-huh.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Not bad, Kathryn.- No.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40So five of those are impossible,
0:28:40 > 0:28:44because they have never been Secretary-General of the UN.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46You need to get rid of those five.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48For each one you successfully get rid of,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50we put £100 into the daily prize pot.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- OK.- That stands at £700, in part due to your fine work earlier.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- Thank you. - Where would you like to start?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Although I knew what it was about,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00it doesn't mean that I know all the people.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04But I know Pierre Trudeau is the Canadian leader.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08He's not been a Secretary-General of the United Nations.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Is Pierre Trudeau an impossible answer?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Yeah, that's the former Canadian Prime Minister.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21The current one is his son, Justin.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- Son, mm-hm.- £100 added to the prize pot. Good start.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I'll try Bettino Craxi.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Not heard of that name at all.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Bettino Craxi.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36A former Italian Prime Minister.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- Ah, right.- Two from two.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I will try Juan Gabriel.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Is that an impossible answer?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49I never realised I was such a good guesser.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51You're a very good guesser.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Juan Gabriel is a late Mexican pop star.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- Ah, right.- Three from three.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Learie Constantine.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Is that an impossible answer?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Learie Constantine was a West Indian cricketer.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Oh. And finally I'll go for Fritz Lang...
0:30:13 > 0:30:16..cos the other four seem familiar.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19For a clean sweep of the board, is Fritz Lang an impossible answer?
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Fritz Lang was an Austrian-born film director.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- I see. - Right. He directed Metropolis.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Well, that's amazing.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Five from five.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Uh-huh.- So, no impossibles left.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37£500 added to the prize pot.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It now stands at £1,200.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41In a moment I'll reveal the second half of the question...
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- Mm-hm.- ..and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46If you give me the right answer, you're in the final.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48If you give me a wrong answer,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51the next best player has the chance to steal your place in the final.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- Mm-hm.- You obviously know how that feels.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- Mm-hm.- And that is Dean.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Wow.- Hold tight, Dean.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03So you've eliminated all the impossible answers,
0:31:03 > 0:31:05which means there's none left to trip you up.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Mm-hm.- Shall we have a look at the full question?
0:31:07 > 0:31:08- Mm-hm.- All right.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21I do not have a clue. So this is a total guess.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Kurt Waldheim.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Kurt Waldheim.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Did Kurt Waldheim die in a plane crash while on
0:31:30 > 0:31:32a peacekeeping mission to the Congo?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- No.- Oh, Kathryn, I'm sorry.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Welcome to the final, Dean.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39Hey, Dean.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- Now, Dean...- Yes.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42No impossible answers left up there.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46All you've got to do is give me the right answer and you'll steal
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Kathryn's place in the final,
0:31:47 > 0:31:51which I think Kathryn's getting a bit fed up about.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Well, the only one of those that are left that I've heard of
0:31:54 > 0:31:59is Boutros Boutros-Ghali, and I think I would have known
0:31:59 > 0:32:01if he'd died, so based on the 50-50,
0:32:01 > 0:32:05I'm going to have a stab at Dag Hammarskjold.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Did Dag Hammarskjold die in a plane crash while
0:32:08 > 0:32:11on a peacekeeping mission to the Congo?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15This to steal Kathryn's place in the final.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20He did. He did.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I'm sorry, Kathryn.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25- Well done, Dean.- So sorry.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27And you've stolen Kathryn's place in the final.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Fine.- Which is fast becoming my catchphrase.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- Sorry, Kathryn.- No problem.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Very bad luck, once again, Kathryn.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34That's OK.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38For the rest of you, I'm afraid that victory today proved impossible,
0:32:38 > 0:32:40but we'll see you all again tomorrow.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Goodbye.- Bye!
0:32:42 > 0:32:45But for Peter, Terry and Dean, it's time for the final.
0:32:51 > 0:32:57So, Peter, Terry and Dean, there's £1,200 in today's prize pot,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59which you have contributed nothing to.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03I'm sure Kathryn and Matthew are wishing you all the luck here.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Only one of you can win that money,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09and the right to face the £10,000 question.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Peter, if you were to get your hands on the money,
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- what would you spend it on? - We have two children and a grandson,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18so I'm sure they'd take a chunk.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Oh, I'm sure they would, Peter.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- Yes.- I'm sure they would. And, Terry,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25we know that you would spend the money on a trip to New Zealand
0:33:25 > 0:33:29to go and watch the All Blacks with your wife in tow.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32I mean, it felt more like a trip for you than your wife, but that's fine.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36And, Dean, what would you spend the £10,000 on?
0:33:36 > 0:33:41I've started to learn to fly, so that's quite expensive, so...
0:33:41 > 0:33:42In a plane or just yourself?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44No, no, just with some wax wings, you know?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Really? Nothing can go wrong there.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48OK, best of luck to all of you.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- Thank you.- Thank you. - You each start with ten lives.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Questions are on the buzzer.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Most of them are normal, straightforward questions with
0:33:57 > 0:33:58normal, straightforward answers.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Buzz and get one right and you knock a life off both of your opponents.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Buzz and get one wrong and you lose one of your own lives.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08However, some of the questions are impossible,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10which is to say there is no answer.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11The question's illogical.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13It makes no sense.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15If you think you've spotted one of these,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18all you have to do is buzz in and say, "Impossible."
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Bad news for your opponents, because they will both lose two lives.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25But if you say a question is impossible when it isn't
0:34:25 > 0:34:28or give any other answer to an impossible question,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31it is you who loses the two lives.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34The last player standing will take the £1,200.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Best of luck.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Are we ready?- Yes, thanks.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43Which former star of Blackadder went on to present the TV show Time Team?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- Dean.- Tony Robinson.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47It was Tony Robinson. Peter and Terry lose a life.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53The Menai Strait separates which island from the mainland of Wales?
0:34:53 > 0:34:54- Terry.- Anglesey.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56It is Anglesey. Peter and Dean lose a life.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01How long is an Olympic-sized swimming pool?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Dean.- 50 metres.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It is 50 metres. Peter and Terry lose a life.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11On which date in September is Saint Andrew's Day celebrated in Scotland?
0:35:11 > 0:35:12- Dean.- Impossible.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13It is impossible.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15It's November the 30th.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Terry and Peter, you both lose two lives.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Are you playing, Peter?
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Obviously not!
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Which jazz singer has the nickname Lady Day?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Peter.- Billie Holiday.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Yes, Billie Holiday.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34All you needed was a little gee up, Peter.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Terry and Dean, you both lose a life.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Grizzly and polar are species of which kind of...? Dean.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42- Bear.- Which kind of mammal?
0:35:42 > 0:35:45It is bear. Peter and Terry, you both have four.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Dean has eight.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Which football league club based in Nottinghamshire are nicknamed
0:35:51 > 0:35:53the Magpies? Terry.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Impossible.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56It's not impossible.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58It's Notts County.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Notts County and Newcastle are both called the Magpies,
0:36:02 > 0:36:04meaning you lose two of your lives, Terry.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10What does the U stand for in the abbreviation UFO,
0:36:10 > 0:36:11meaning a mysterious...?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- Dean.- Unidentified.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Meaning a mysterious object in the sky. It is unidentified.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Unidentified flying object.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Terry and Peter, you lose a life.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25How many lines are there in a traditional limerick?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- Peter.- Five.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30There are five. Dean, you lose a life.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34Terry, unfortunately, you lose your last life, and you are out.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Peter, you're hanging on in there with three lives.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Dean, you have seven.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Who is Paul Weller singing about on his song Englishman In New York?
0:36:42 > 0:36:43Peter.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Impossible.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47It is impossible.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51It's by Sting and he's singing about Quentin Crisp, the English writer.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Dean, you lose two lives, and you are now down to five.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Peter is on three.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Which uncle of footballer Paul Gascoigne
0:36:59 > 0:37:03is a former host of University Challenge?
0:37:03 > 0:37:04- Dean.- Bamber Gascoigne.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07But it's impossible because Bamber Gascoigne
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- is not Paul Gascoigne's uncle. - OK.- Dean, you lose two lives.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13I should have known better.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15It means... You should, really.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Dean and Peter, you're both tied on three lives apiece.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21After a slow start, things are going well, Peter.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22In Greek mythology,
0:37:22 > 0:37:25what remained in Pandora's box once all the miseries...?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Peter.- Hope.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Once all the miseries had been released.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31It was hope. Dean, you lose a life.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Down to two now.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Ralph Fiennes played which historical character
0:37:37 > 0:37:39in the 1998 film Elizabeth?
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Dean.- Impossible?
0:37:42 > 0:37:43It is impossible.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45He is not in the film.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Joseph Fiennes is, but Ralph is not.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Peter, you lose two lives.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52And then you are down on one.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Dean has two.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55This is nice and tight.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Which Spice Girl duetted with Bryan Adams on the...?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Dean.- Melanie C.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Very early interruption.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05On the UK top five hit When You're Gone.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06It was Mel C.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Peter, you lose your last remaining life, I'm afraid.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Commiserations to both you and Terry.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13We'll see you back in the pack tomorrow, but, Dean,
0:38:13 > 0:38:16it's time to face the £10,000 question.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Very well done, Dean.- Thank you. - You are today's winner with £1,200.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28That's great.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- Yeah.- But you could be leaving with a whole lot more if you
0:38:32 > 0:38:34can answer the £10,000 question.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36What would be a good subject for you?
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Something popular culture related. Maybe football.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Something quite recent would help me out.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45OK. This is how it works.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49I'm going to show you nine answers and then ask you a question.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Three of the nine answers are correct.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55If you can find them within ten seconds, you win ten grand.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56- OK.- That's the good news.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00The less good news is that three of those answers are wrong.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Pick any of those and you won't win the £10,000.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07The bad news is that three of the nine answers are impossible.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Give me one of those and you will lose the £1,200.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I can only accept the first three answers you give.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- OK.- So tread carefully.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- OK.- If you fail to give me three answers
0:39:17 > 0:39:21before the ten seconds are up, you also lose the daily prize pot.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23You do only get one shot at the £10,000 question,
0:39:23 > 0:39:25so, whatever happens,
0:39:25 > 0:39:30you will be leaving the show today, hopefully laden with money.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32All right, shall we have a look at the topic?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35And this is to get you up in the air.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36This is to get you flying.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Yeah.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41The subject is television.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43OK. That could be good.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- Best of luck, Dean.- Thank you.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Here are your nine answers.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07You'll have ten seconds to lock in your answers
0:40:07 > 0:40:08and you're looking for...
0:40:15 > 0:40:18And your time starts now.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Edith, Violet and Rosamund.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Quick.- Yeah.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- Are you a fan of the show? - Um, yeah, I wouldn't say I'm a fan.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I watched it begrudgingly with my other half.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- You might be thanking her. - I don't know.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40We'll have to wait and see.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Where are you feeling most confident?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Um... Edith, Lady Edith.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Is Edith a right answer?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53It is.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55One down, two to go.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Any others on the board that you were tempted by?
0:40:58 > 0:41:02See, I know cousin Rosamund
0:41:02 > 0:41:04was the one who appeared later on in the show,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06and she was a bit of a troublemaker,
0:41:06 > 0:41:10so by the cousin label you'd think she was a Crawley,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12but let's give it a crack.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17Is Rosamund a member of the Crawley family in Downton Abbey?
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Yes.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Rosamund is the Earl of Grantham's sister.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29You're actually thinking of the troublemaking cousin Rose.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Oh, OK, that was lucky, wasn't it?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- You got a little bit lucky there.- Yeah.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33We are very close to that £10,000.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35We are. We are.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37How do you feel about Violet?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40I... I think, although judging by that, I might be wrong,
0:41:40 > 0:41:44that that was Maggie Smith's character in Downton.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I'm pretty sure there is a Violet,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48so I'm hopefully not going home with nothing,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50but fingers crossed it's the ten.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51OK.
0:41:51 > 0:41:57For £10,000, is Violet a member of the Crawley family on Downton Abbey?
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Yes, Dean!
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Thank you. I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21£10,000, Dean. What an absolutely fantastic result.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- I can't believe that. - On the first show of this batch.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26But literally... When I saw the names come up, the answers,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28I thought, "I have not got a clue what this could be,"
0:42:28 > 0:42:31until the question came, and then I thought, "I might be...
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- "I might have a chance here." - I was worried, when I read out
0:42:34 > 0:42:36the answers, I looked in your eyes, I was like,
0:42:36 > 0:42:37- "He doesn't know this."- No.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39It was absolute mortifying fear,
0:42:39 > 0:42:44- but it's worked out, thankfully. - It's worked out incredibly well.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47The impossible answers that you cleverly avoided...
0:42:47 > 0:42:49..Patricia,
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Petunia,
0:42:50 > 0:42:51and Jemima.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55There are no such characters and the rest are all below stairs.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57None of that matters, Dean.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00What matters is you've just won £10,000.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04So, Dean leaves with £10,000. The rest of us will be back tomorrow
0:43:04 > 0:43:07when someone else will have the chance to win ten grand.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11This has been Impossible, the quiz where actually anything is possible.
0:43:11 > 0:43:12Goodbye.
