0:00:02 > 0:00:03I'm Rick Edwards and this is Impossible.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10APPLAUSE
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Welcome to Impossible,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19the quiz where the questions aren't impossible
0:00:19 > 0:00:20but some of the answers are.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23They're not just wrong, they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28As ever, we have 24 players raring and ready to play.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- Hello, players! CONTESTANTS:- Hello, Rick.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Everyday, one of them will have the chance to unlock this...
0:00:34 > 0:00:35- CONTESTANTS:- Ooh!
0:00:35 > 0:00:40..our mighty exclamation mark filled with 10,000 shiny pound coins.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42At the end of each show,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46one of our players will face the £10,000 question. Here it is.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- CONTESTANTS:- Ooh!
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Get this right, and all of that cash will come flooding out.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Yesterday, Peter left us with £1,100 and our new player today is Jordan.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hello, Jordan, how you.- Hi, Rick. - APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:05A round of applause for Jordan. Very nice. What you do, Jordan?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm an online sales representative.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- And what do you sell?- I work for a fencing supplies company.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- As in "en garde"? - No, not as in "en garde".
0:01:15 > 0:01:19No, as in timber, panels and decking, things like that.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- OK.- People's outdoors and gardens.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And what do you do with your spare time, Jordan?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I recently got married and we have a ten-week-old baby boy.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32So, naturally, when I'm not working,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34he takes up a lot of the time, all the time,
0:01:34 > 0:01:35but it's a real joy having him.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Well, best of luck on the show. Nice to have you here.- Thank you.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Andy, are you well? - I'm very well, thanks. How are you?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Very good indeed, thank you. What you do with yourself, Andy?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I'm a magician, a professional magician.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- How long have you been doing that for?- For 22 years.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52And what do you do in your spare time
0:01:52 > 0:01:53when you're not magicking, Andy?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56There's a charity that I do shows for
0:01:56 > 0:01:59and they organise 180 visits to children,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03sick children in hospital and hospices all over the UK,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05so I do a lot of those shows.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06I go up and I do some magic
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and balloons for the kids on the wards, so I do a lot of that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- It's a great charity.- Wonderful.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14And if you were going to spend that £10,000, having won it, Andy,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- what would it go on?- This is going to sound really boring,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- but we need a driveway done outside the front of the house.- Oh, Andy!
0:02:21 > 0:02:25So, we'd have a driveway done. I'm going to buy some bricks, basically.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I like driveway. Driveway's enough for me, Andy.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Best of luck for the show, everyone.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Just to remind you, this is Ian, our British Sign Language interpreter
0:02:34 > 0:02:37who's working with Ciaran. Shall we crack on?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Contestants:- Yes!- Lovely.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42You'll face five multiple-choice questions, each with three answers.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45The right answer scores you a point, the wrong answer scores you nothing
0:02:45 > 0:02:49but, if you choose the impossible answer, disaster, guys.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52You will immediately be knocked out of today's show
0:02:52 > 0:02:54and you'll have to try again tomorrow.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56After five questions,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58the highest scorer gets the first chance to bag a place
0:02:58 > 0:03:01in today's final, and answer as quickly as you can
0:03:01 > 0:03:02because, in the event of a tie,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05whoever's locked in their answers the fastest will qualify.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Ready? CONTESTANTS:- Yes! - Here's your first question.
0:03:24 > 0:03:30All 24 of you have gone with Peter Andre. Are you all right?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Yes, you are. A point to everyone.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36The impossible answer...
0:03:38 > 0:03:39C. Mark Wright
0:03:39 > 0:03:41hasn't married Katie Price.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Yet! LAUGHTER
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Question number two.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Full house of answers. Ciaran, you've gone for Des Lynam.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I was in Countdown three years ago.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15That really should help you, Ciaran.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Yeah, I watched Countdown since I was about three years old,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24so I've always watched it all the time, so I'm fairly familiar
0:04:24 > 0:04:27and I do know the answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Let's see if you do know the answer. The right answer...
0:04:32 > 0:04:35..is C, Des Lynam. So, spot-on, Ciaran.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38A point to everyone who went for C. The impossible answer is...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44..B, Des Clarke.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Des Clarke has never hosted Countdown.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49He's a Scottish comedian.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So, we'll say goodbye to all of you. See you tomorrow.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Bye.- Bye.- Bye. - Question number three.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18All answers out there. The right answer...
0:05:19 > 0:05:23..is A, Voyager I. So, a point to all of you.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Voyager I is now in interstellar space.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Angela.- There's only me who put C, I notice.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- I noticed that as well, Angela.- I'm either super brilliant or rubbish.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39You can judge for yourself.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I will, I will. Andrew, Mariner 9.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Sound like a space probe?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Definitely, cos Nimbus 2000 sounds like an iPhone,
0:05:50 > 0:05:56and I know that both Voyager 1 and Mariner 9 were both space probes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Well, one of you has given the impossible answer.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01And the impossible answer...
0:06:03 > 0:06:05..is C, Nimbus 2000.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07It might sound like an iPhone
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- but it's actually a broomstick from Harry Potter.- Oh, yes.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- Unlucky, Angela. We'll see you tomorrow.- Right.- Quidditch.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Oh, dear.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Question number four.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39The right answer...
0:06:41 > 0:06:45..is A, William II, so a point to all of you who went for A.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Let's see who's going to be leaving us. The impossible answer...
0:06:49 > 0:06:54..is B, Harold II. Harold II wasn't a Norman king.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56He was the last Anglo-Saxon king,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58defeated by William at the Battle of Hastings.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02So, we say goodbye to five of you. See you all tomorrow.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Bye.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Going into the final question, we've already halved the pack.
0:07:09 > 0:07:1112 players remain.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Only one of you is on a maximum of four points, and that is Junaid.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17APPLAUSE
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Question number five.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Once again, all answers out there. Sam.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- I'm pretty confident C is the right answer.- Ooh.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I don't live too far from Cheltenham, so I should know this.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49But I can't tell you what the impossible answer is. I'm not sure.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I can tell you what the impossible answer is.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59It's A, RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- Never mind.- So, Eve and Tracey, we'll say goodbye. See you tomorrow.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Let's see how well you know your local area, Sam. The right answer...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Is C, GCHQ.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It stands for Government Communications Headquarters,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21so a point to everyone who went for C.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Which means that, at the end of that round,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26one player finishes on five points and that is Junaid.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29APPLAUSE
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Congratulations, Junaid.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33You have the first chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Hello, Junaid.- Hi.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42So, Junaid, what do you do with your spare time?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I've got a motorbike, so I'm trying to learn that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I was also in the Equestrian Society at university
0:08:48 > 0:08:50cos I did a bit of horse riding when I was younger
0:08:50 > 0:08:52so, when I got the opportunity, I thought, "Why not?"
0:08:52 > 0:08:56And are you now a proficient horse rider?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Probably not, but I gave it a good go.- Yeah, fine.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Would you ever buy yourself a horse? - With that £10,000, probably not, no.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08No? Let me think about that. No, no, I wouldn't. All right, let's focus.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12This is your chance to put up to £500 into the daily prize pot
0:09:12 > 0:09:14and, crucially, take a massive step
0:09:14 > 0:09:16towards playing for the £10,000 question.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Going to give you a choice of four topics. Here they come.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28To be honest with you, I think all four of them are OK for me.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Let's just go for Comedy. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34So, you're going to see nine answers, all related to Comedy.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Here they come.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51A couple of them are stand-up comedians
0:09:51 > 0:09:54and I recognise one or two characters from TV shows,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56but I don't know what the theme is.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- I can help you out with that.- OK.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Show you the first half of the question.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Which winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Award...- OK.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11So, five of those are impossible and your first job is to find
0:10:11 > 0:10:14those impossible answers and get them off the board.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Each one you successfully eliminate
0:10:16 > 0:10:19will put £100 into the daily prize pot. Where do you want to start?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Geraldine Granger. I think that was a Peter Kay character.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Is Geraldine Granger an impossible answer?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30APPLAUSE
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- She was actually the Vicar of Dibley.- Oh, right.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- But £100 in the prize pot. - Yeah.- Off to a good start.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I think that award is probably for British comedians
0:10:39 > 0:10:42and Sarah Silverman's American, so I'm going to go for her next.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46APPLAUSE
0:10:46 > 0:10:48She is an American comedian,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51although it's not solely for British comedians,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- so she could have won, she just hasn't.- OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- £200 in the prize pot.- Yeah. I think I'll go for Richard Adams next.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58I think he might be an author.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04APPLAUSE Spot-on. He wrote Watership Down.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Three from three.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07The only name I don't recognise
0:11:07 > 0:11:10on that board is Arthur Jefferson, so I'll go for him next.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15APPLAUSE
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- Yes, actually a very fine comedian. Stan Laurel.- Oh.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23His real name. Never won the Edinburgh Comedy Award though.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Let's get rid of the one last impossible answer.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Now I'm a bit stuck, cos they're all comedians,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32so I don't know what logic to use here. Um...
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I think I'll just go for Al Murray.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Is Al Murray an impossible answer?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- No, he has won the Edinburgh Comedy Award.- OK.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Pretty good though. Four out of five,
0:11:48 > 0:11:49£400 in the daily prize pot,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52but are you going to be playing for that money
0:11:52 > 0:11:54and for a shot at the £10,000 question in today's final?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57In a moment, I'll reveal the second half of the question
0:11:57 > 0:11:59and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02If you find it, you're in the final,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05but if you give me a wrong answer, the next best player
0:12:05 > 0:12:08will have the chance to steal your place in the final.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09That was...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Eddie, your dear old neighbour.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15APPLAUSE
0:12:15 > 0:12:18There is still one impossible answer up there.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20If you give me that,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- you'll eliminate yourself from today's show.- OK.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Shall we see the full question? - Yeah, let's go for it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Which winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Award...
0:12:29 > 0:12:33won for their show, And A Glass Of White wine For The Lady?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Well, Al Murray is the Pub Landlord,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42so logic dictates it's probably him,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45so I'm just going to go for Al Murray.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47So, if this is the right answer, you're through to the final.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50If it's the wrong answer, we'll throw to Eddie.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54APPLAUSE
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Congratulations.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- The one other impossible answer is Ricky Gervais...- OK.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03..who has never won the Edinburgh Comedy Award.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Very well done, Junaid. You're through to the final.- Thanks.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08APPLAUSE
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Still two places left in today's final, alongside Junaid.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Let's find out who's going to be claiming the next one. Good luck.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Here's your first question.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41All answers out there. Annie, you've gone for C, Barney McGrew.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Yeah, I thought it was Hugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew,
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49And I thought Barney McGrew is definitely in there,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53but so are the other two, so, I'm sorry.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- So, that hasn't helped you really, Annie.- Not really, no.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59So, I thought I'll take a lucky punt on C.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Hmm, well, the right answer...
0:14:04 > 0:14:08..is C, Barney McGrew. Well worked out, Annie.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Annie and Evonne, you get a point.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14The impossible answer...
0:14:16 > 0:14:18..is A, Hugh.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Joe, Franklyn and Matthew, we'll have to say goodbye
0:14:21 > 0:14:23because actually, Annie,
0:14:23 > 0:14:28it starts Pugh, Pugh. They're twins, both called Pugh.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35So, Joe, Franklyn and Matthew, we'll see you tomorrow.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Down to just six of you. Question number two.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59We are whittling you down fast.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Once again, we have all answers out there. The right answer...
0:15:04 > 0:15:06..is C, Mamie Eisenhower,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09so a point to Annie, Ciaran and Evonne.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Sam, how's your American history?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It wasn't that bad, but I think I've got it wrong,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17because Susan Kennedy, I think, is in Neighbours.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Ah, and you think probably wouldn't have been a first lady then?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22LAUGHTER
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I think I'm going home.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28The impossible answer...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33..is B, Susan Kennedy, who was in Neighbours.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Sam and Eddie, see you both tomorrow.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Four of you surviving midway through the second round.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Question number three.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Unfortunately, Abigail, you didn't lock in your answer in time.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07We'll see you tomorrow.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Three of you remain and you've all gone for different answers.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Ciaran, feeling confident?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Yeah, I am, because I studied
0:16:21 > 0:16:24some performances with Shakespeare at college.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I can remember the word "iambic".
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I'm 100% confident it's A.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33And in percentage terms, Annie, how confident are you in "amniotic"?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35110% that it's not,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37because, I'm embarrassed to say, I'm an ex-nurse
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- and my sister is a midwife. - LAUGHTER
0:16:42 > 0:16:44"Amniotic" is the fluid that you get in a baby sack
0:16:44 > 0:16:46before you deliver a baby.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48But I think I panicked
0:16:48 > 0:16:50and I didn't have my glasses on and I pressed the wrong button.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Oh, dear, Annie.- I'm sorry. That's my excuse.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Might be time to pop the glasses on, Annie. The impossible answer...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05..which you knew, Annie, is C, amniotic.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- And exactly as you described. We'll see you tomorrow.- Thank you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So, let's see if the point is going to Ciaran or Evonne.
0:17:16 > 0:17:23Ciaran, spot-on, meaning you draw level and you both have two points.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26The iambic rhythm is
0:17:26 > 0:17:30de-dum, de-dum, de-dum, de-dum, de-dum, de-dum, de-dum,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32and the dactylic rhythm is
0:17:32 > 0:17:35dum-de-de, dum-de-de, dum-de-de, dum-de-de.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Question number four.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56You've both gone with A, Hercules. Let's see if you're right.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00You are, so a point to each of you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01The impossible answer...
0:18:03 > 0:18:06..is Epicurus, who was a Greek philosopher.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08So, it's level pegging,
0:18:08 > 0:18:09as we go into our final question.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Evonne has three points and Ciaran has three points.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Question number five.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Again, we can't separate you. You've both gone for B, Sambuca.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35If that's the impossible answer and you've knocked yourselves out,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37everyone else will come back into play.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40The impossible answer...
0:18:43 > 0:18:47..is Nocino. Nocino is a walnut liqueur.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Let's see if you're both getting a point. The right answer...
0:18:52 > 0:18:55..is B, Sambuca, so a point to both of you,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58meaning you finish the round tied on four points apiece.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02So, we come down to who has locked in their answers
0:19:02 > 0:19:04the quickest across the round.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07And that's Ciaran.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09APPLAUSE
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Congratulations, Ciaran.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14You have the chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Well done, Ciaran. Down to play a grid.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- I know, it's completely crazy. - How are you feeling?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Really nervous and excited at the same time,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36but I'm happy to be here, so, yes.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38What you do, Ciaran?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I'm an apprentice tennis coach at the moment.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45OK, how long have you been doing that for?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48For almost two years now.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50And do you play a lot of tennis yourself?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Yeah, I've played for about, um...
0:19:56 > 0:20:00and practise for about four days a week. Yeah, quite a lot.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I do competitions...
0:20:04 > 0:20:08..in regional tennis championships for deaf people.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I did that last year
0:20:10 > 0:20:14and I'm proud to say I got into the semifinals in that one.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Oh, very good.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Yeah, I was impressed with myself as well, yes.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22What would you do with the £10,000, Ciaran?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30I'd like to start some travelling and...
0:20:32 > 0:20:36..I'd like to go and see some Grand Slam tennis competitions -
0:20:36 > 0:20:42the Australian Open, the US Open, the French open
0:20:42 > 0:20:45and then Wimbledon, of course.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Let's see if we can win you some tennis money down.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Yes, it's linked to my job.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Fingers crossed, eh?- Shall we have a look at three topics?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Yeah, no problem. - So, the remaining topics are...
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- I think I'll have a go for Theatre, please.- Yeah, OK, Theatre.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14I'm going to show you nine answers relating to Theatre. Here they come.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Know any of those?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42I've heard of some of them, yeah, some of those theatre shows,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- so that's a positive.- It is.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- Shall we have a look at the first half of the question?- Yes, please.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54In which play written by Tennessee Williams...
0:21:54 > 0:21:57So, five of those answers are impossible.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01The first thing to do is eliminate those five answers.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03For each one you successfully eliminate,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06you'll put £100 into the daily prize pot,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08which currently stands at £400, thanks to Junaid.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Where would you like to start?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I'll start with the first one, An Inspector Calls.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Start with An Inspector Calls?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Yeah, because I think that was written by...
0:22:26 > 0:22:29..JB Priestley, that one, I believe.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32OK. So, An Inspector Calls.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Is that an impossible answer, for £100?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40APPLAUSE Yes, and exactly right,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42by JB Priestley.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Good start. Where next?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Yeah, I'll go for The Glass Menagerie, please.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01OK. Is The Glass Menagerie an impossible answer?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Oh, unfortunately not. That is a play by Tennessee Williams.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Not to worry.- OK.- Where next?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Yeah, I'll go for the Sweet Bird Of Youth, please.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Is Sweet Bird Of Youth an impossible answer?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29It is a Tennessee Williams, unfortunately.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Still two goes though.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Let's get rid of two more impossible answers.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Right, OK.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I know there's two there that are definitely Tennessee Williams
0:23:41 > 0:23:43that I recognise, so...
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'll go for...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51..Lost In Yonkers.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Is Lost In Yonkers an impossible answer?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Yes. APPLAUSE
0:24:00 > 0:24:01That's written by Neil Simon.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Yeah, yeah, I've heard of him.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08£200 added to the prize pot.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It now stands at £600.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13One last go.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21- I'll go for Look Back In Anger, please.- Look Back In Anger.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Is Look Back In Anger an impossible answer?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Yes. APPLAUSE
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Written by John Osborne.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Never heard of him. - So, £300 added to the prize pot.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It now stands at £700.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43But are you going to be playing for that money
0:24:43 > 0:24:46and for a shot at the £10,000 question in today's final?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I'm going to reveal the second half of the question in a moment.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53And you're looking for the right answer.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Give me the right answer, you're in the final.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Give me a wrong answer and the next best player has the chance
0:25:00 > 0:25:02to steal your place in the final.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05You know who that is. It's Evonne.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07APPLAUSE
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Hold tight, Evonne.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12If you give me an impossible answer though, Ciaran -
0:25:12 > 0:25:14and we know there are still two up there -
0:25:14 > 0:25:18you will be eliminated from today's show, unfortunately.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Shall we have a look at the full question?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Yes, please.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26In which play written by Tennessee Williams...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30..is Blanche DuBois one of the main characters?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I'm looking for the right answer, Ciaran.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40I'm going to pick A Streetcar Named Desire, please.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44My fingers are firmly crossed and I'm praying. Please, please, please.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Why are you going for A Streetcar Named Desire?
0:25:51 > 0:25:55It just keeps popping out at me and it just keeps catching my eye,
0:25:55 > 0:26:01so I have to stick with my first choice and my gut feeling
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- and I hope it works. - OK, let's see how your gut is doing.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Is A Streetcar Named Desire the right answer?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16It is! APPLAUSE
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Very well done. You're through to the final, Ciaran.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Thank you so much, thank you so much.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28The impossible answers remaining on the board... What do you reckon?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Yeah, I think Long Day's Journey Into Night may be one of them.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40It is. It's written by Eugene O'Neill.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- I've heard of that author, yeah, OK. - And one more.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48So, I think it must be The Birthday Party.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- That must be the other impossible. - It is.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52The Birthday Party by Harold Pinter.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55APPLAUSE
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Oh, yeah, that famous author, yeah. - Great grid play.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- You're through to the final, Ciaran. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06APPLAUSE
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Just the one place up for grabs in the final. Evonne, all eyes on you.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19All you've got to do is get one question right
0:27:19 > 0:27:21and you will be coming down to play the grid.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25However, if you knock yourself out by giving an impossible answer,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28everyone is back in play.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Obviously everyone is supporting you here,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33but also not. LAUGHTER
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Good luck. Here's your first question.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- I don't know.- So, you're saying you don't know, Evonne.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56How have you picked there?
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I just guessed.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- I like polka dots. - LAUGHTER
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Yeah, it's definitely the jazziest option on there.- Yeah.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Shall we see if you've managed to avoid the impossible answer?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I don't think I have.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11The impossible answer...
0:28:14 > 0:28:20..is A, black stripes. There is no such jersey on the Tour de France.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25- If you've got the right answer, Evonne, you're coming on down.- Yes.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Please be right.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31The right answer...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Yes!
0:28:35 > 0:28:38APPLAUSE
0:28:38 > 0:28:41It is the jazzy red polka dots.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Congratulations. Come on down.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Well, Evonne, it was yours to lose but you didn't.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57You won, you destroyed the opposition and here you are.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59- Thank you.- Ready for the grid?- Yes.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- Shall we have a look at these two topics, Yvonne?- Yes.- OK.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- Go with the UK.- Yeah?- Yeah. - All right.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14So, I'm going to reveal nine answers, all related to the UK.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Here they are.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Would you like to see the first half of the question?- Yes, please.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32In which Anglican cathedral...
0:29:34 > 0:29:38So, five of those answers are impossible,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41so your first job is to find those impossible answers
0:29:41 > 0:29:42and get rid of them.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Each one that you successfully eliminate will add £100
0:29:45 > 0:29:48to the daily prize pot, which currently stands at £700.
0:29:48 > 0:29:54So, you're looking for places that don't have an Anglican cathedral.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- Five of them. - OK, I'm going to be guessing.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01I'm going to go with...
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- ..Portsmouth.- Portsmouth?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- It's just a guess.- So, Portsmouth.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Is Portsmouth an impossible answer?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- No.- That does have an Anglican cathedral.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Still four more goes though.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Wolverhampton.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28I don't think that's right but I've said it.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Is Wolverhampton an impossible answer?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35It is. And we're off.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37APPLAUSE
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- We're good, we're good.- Yes. - Three more goes.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42£100 added to the prize pot.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43We're looking for places
0:30:43 > 0:30:46where there's no Anglican cathedral, remember.
0:30:47 > 0:30:53- I'm just going to guess and go with Carlisle but it's all guessing.- OK.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Is Carlisle an impossible answer?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Unfortunately not.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Two more goes.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I'm going to go with Coventry...
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- ..I think.- Coventry.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Is Coventry an impossible answer?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- No.- Ooh, Evonne.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23You've got a knack for picking the ones
0:31:23 > 0:31:26that HAVE got Anglican cathedrals.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28- Probability is now on your side. - It is.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Plymouth.- Plymouth.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Is Plymouth an impossible answer?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44It is! APPLAUSE
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Good. So, £200 added to the daily prize pot.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50It now stands at £900.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53For the second half of the question, which I'm about to show you,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I want the right answer.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Give me the right answer and you're in the final.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01A wrong answer will give the next best player the chance
0:32:01 > 0:32:02to steal your place.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07And that was the last person eliminated in round two,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Amniotic Annie.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:32:14 > 0:32:16How are you on cathedrals, Annie?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Not much better than the amnio.
0:32:18 > 0:32:25- Sorry. I don't have a clue.- OK. So, Evonne...
0:32:26 > 0:32:30..there are still impossible answers up there.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33If you give me one of those,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36you will be eliminated from today's show.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- Shall we have a look at the full question?- Yes, please.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43In which Anglican cathedral...
0:32:44 > 0:32:49..were the remains of Richard III buried in 2015?
0:32:49 > 0:32:50I'm going to go with...
0:32:52 > 0:32:53..Carlisle.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56It's not impossible.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01- So, play it a bit safe?- Yeah.- In the hope that Annie doesn't have a clue.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Yeah.- OK. Is Carlisle the right answer?
0:33:08 > 0:33:13- It's not, I'm afraid.- OK. - So, we will throw over to Annie.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Well, I thought Richard III was the guy that was found in a car park,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21but I could be wrong.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- I'm going to go for Coventry. - Coventry?- Yeah.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28OK, if Coventry is the right answer...
0:33:29 > 0:33:31..Annie will steal your place in the final, Evonne.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I've got a feeling she's right.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37If it's a wrong answer, you're through.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Is Coventry the right answer?
0:33:44 > 0:33:45It's not.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Which is good news for you, Evonne.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52You've dodged a bullet and you will be going through to the final.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Unlucky, Annie. APPLAUSE
0:33:58 > 0:34:01The right answer... You were on the right track, actually, Annie.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06..Leicester. He's buried in Leicester, made the news.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09He was found in a car park and then buried in the cathedral.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13The three remaining impossible answers are Nottingham, Leeds
0:34:13 > 0:34:18and Southampton. No Anglican cathedrals in any of those.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20That was not a textbook grid, Evonne.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- However, you're through to the final.- Thank you.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26APPLAUSE
0:34:30 > 0:34:33For the rest of you, I'm afraid victory today proved impossible.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- We'll see you all tomorrow. Goodbye. Contestants:- Bye!
0:34:37 > 0:34:40But for Junaid, Ciaran and Evonne, it's time for the final.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42APPLAUSE
0:34:46 > 0:34:51Junaid, Ciaran and Evonne, there's £900 in today's prize pot,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53but only one of you can win that money
0:34:53 > 0:34:55and the right to face the £10,000 question.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58You will each start with ten lives.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02There they are. Questions are on the buzzer.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06A right answer will knock a life off both of your opponents.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09A wrong answer and you lose a life of your own.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12But do look out for those impossible questions.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14You can knock two lives from your opponents
0:35:14 > 0:35:17but, if you mess up, you lose two lives of your own.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21The last player standing will take the £900.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Today, the questions are also being displayed on a screen,
0:35:24 > 0:35:26so that everyone can play along fairly.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54Ciaran, you lose a life.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Ciaran.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Gretel.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08It's impossible, I'm afraid, cos Gretel is his sister.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09Ciaran, you lose two lives.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Ciaran.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47It is the fly. Ciaran and Evonne, you lose a life.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Ciaran.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Impossible?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00It is impossible. It's the postcode for Aberdeen.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04You needed that, Ciaran. Evonne and Junaid, you both lose two lives.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12- Junaid.- DNA.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31Ciaran, you lose a life, Evonne you lose a life.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Ciaran, you're clinging on here. You have one life.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Evonne, you have three. Junaid doing very well on eight.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Junaid.- Banksy.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47It is Banksy. Evonne, you lose a life.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Ciaran, you lose your last remaining life and you're out.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Junaid.- Floyd Mayweather.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Impossible.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Floyd Mayweather has held major titles in five different weights
0:38:05 > 0:38:07but he's never been the heavyweight champion.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Junaid, you lose two lives.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15- Junaid.- Robin Williams?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20It's Dustin Hoffman. You lose a life, Junaid.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Junaid.- Jonathan Dimbleby.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32It is Jonathan Dimbleby. Evonne, you lose a life.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35You now only have one life remaining.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Junaid.- Hadrian.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45It is Hadrian.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49Evonne, you lose your last remaining life, after a valiant effort.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Ciaran and Yvonne, commiserations. We'll see you both tomorrow.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57But, Junaid, it's time to face the £10,000 question.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59APPLAUSE
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Very well done, Junaid. You're today's winner, with £900.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11That's great, but you could be leaving with a lot more
0:39:11 > 0:39:13if you can answer the £10,000 question.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15So, this is how it's going to work.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18I'm going to show you nine answers and then ask you a question.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Three of the nine answers are correct.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24If you can find them all within ten seconds, you'll win that £10,000.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25That's the good news.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28The less good news is that three of those answers are wrong.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Pick any of those and you won't win the ten grand.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33The bad news, of course,
0:39:33 > 0:39:35is that three of the nine answers are impossible.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Give me any of those and you will lose the daily prize pot.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44I want you to be leaving, stuffing your shirt full of coins.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46That's what I want.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Any subject that you're particularly hoping for?
0:39:48 > 0:39:50What would you like to see come up?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Geography, politics, entertainment.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- They're probably my strong suits, I think.- All right.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Shall I have a look at the topic for you?- Yeah.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04I can tell you it's on Film.
0:40:04 > 0:40:10- OK, yeah, that's good. I'm hopeful.- OK, ready?- Yeah.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14- Best of luck, Junaid.- Thank you. - Here are your nine answers.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37You'll have ten seconds to lock in your answers
0:40:37 > 0:40:39and you're looking for...
0:40:40 > 0:40:44..Pixar films that have won a Best Animated Feature Oscar.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46And your time starts now.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Up,
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Finding Nemo,
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Monsters, Inc.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- So, you went with Up first.- Yeah.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01So, I know that Cars and The Incredibles are
0:41:01 > 0:41:03the only two other Pixar films
0:41:03 > 0:41:05and I think Up won an Oscar
0:41:05 > 0:41:07but I didn't know between the other four,
0:41:07 > 0:41:10so I just went for the best ones, in my opinion.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- The ones that you think should have won.- Yeah.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Is Up a Pixar film that won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24It is. APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:25Very good.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Next up, you went for Finding Nemo.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Is Finding Nemo a right answer?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Yes. APPLAUSE
0:41:44 > 0:41:48So, this last one, Monsters, Inc. Seen it?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Yeah, I've seen Monsters, Inc.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52But if I'm honest, if I had my time again,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54I'd probably choose The Incredibles.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56So, you've gone for Monsters, Inc,
0:41:56 > 0:42:00you've now got half an eye on The Incredibles.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04What we don't want to see, obviously,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06is the impossible exclamation mark.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09We really want Monsters, Inc to light up green
0:42:09 > 0:42:13because that will mean you've just won £10,000.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Is Monsters, Inc a Pixar film
0:42:18 > 0:42:21that won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Oh, it didn't, I'm afraid, Junaid.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29You have still won
0:42:29 > 0:42:34£900 though, so it's not all bad. You said
0:42:34 > 0:42:37if you'd had your time again, you would have gone for The Incredibles.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41- Was it?- The Incredibles was the other right answer, I'm afraid.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45The non-Pixar films there are How To Train Your Dragon,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Puss In Boots and Kung Fu Panda.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48They're all DreamWorks films
0:42:48 > 0:42:51and they've never won the Best Animated Feature Oscar either.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54So close, Junaid. I hope you've enjoyed playing Impossible.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- You've been a great player. - Thank you.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Thank you very much. APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Junaid leaves with £900. The rest of us will be back tomorrow,
0:43:01 > 0:43:03when someone else will have the chance to win ten grand.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05This has been Impossible, the quiz where, actually,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07anything is possible. Goodbye.
