Episode 17 Impossible

I'm Rick Edwards, and this is Impossible.

APPLAUSE

Welcome to Impossible,

the quiz where the questions aren't impossible

but some of the answers are.

They are not just wrong,

they couldn't possibly be right.

As ever, we have 24 players all keen to get started.

-Hello, players.

-Hello, Rick.

Looking lovely today.

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

Ooh!

Our golden exclamation mark

filled with 10,000 pound coins.

And at the end of each show,

one of our players will face the £10,000 question.

And here...

LAUGHTER

..it is.

Get this right

and all of that cash

will come flooding out.

We had great start to the week.

Yesterday, Annie left us £10,000 richer.

And our new player today is Wendy.

-Hello, Wendy.

-Hi.

-How are you?

-Fine, thanks.

What do you do, Wendy?

I am an insurance manager on a motorway maintenance contract.

OK, and what do you do

when you're not managing insurance on a motorway?

I play crown green bowls.

Oh, do you now?

If you were to win

the £10,000, Wendy, what would you spend it on?

My retirement pot.

I want to retire now.

-Right this minute.

-Yes.

So if your boss is watching,

-they now know that.

-Yes.

-Lovely to have you here, Wendy.

-Thank you.

Now, Eve.

Hi.

Do you know what I would like, Eve?

What would you like?

I would like you to get down here.

So would I.

Even if it's just once, Eve.

-Yeah, me too.

-How's it been going?

I'm with you there.

Not so great.

Where have you been stumbling?

Mostly politics, I'd say.

And football.

Politics and football.

-Those are things to avoid, are they?

-Yeah.

And history.

Not forgetting history.

Any others, Eve?

Geography?

Any others, Eve?

Science.

LAUGHTER

-Yeah.

-Well, best of luck today.

-Thank you.

-Hopefully I will see you down here.

Just to remind you, this is Ian,

who is our British Sign Language interpreter

who is working with Ciaran.

Are we ready to crack on?

-ALL:

-Yes.

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

The right answer will scored you a point,

the wrong answer gets you nothing

but if you plump for the impossible answer...

..it's a disaster, that will

immediately knock you out of today's show

and you will have to try again tomorrow.

At the end of the round,

the highest scorer gets the first chance

to grab a place in today's final.

Shall we do it?

-ALL:

-Yes.

Here's your first question.

22 of you have gone for

B, Chuck Berry.

A couple of As. Nick Berry.

The right answer...

..is B, Chuck Berry.

So 22 of you get a point.

Sam.

Nick Berry?

Well, I was only about 14 in 1972...

LAUGHTER

..so I can't really remember it.

I'm pretty sure it's not Mary Berry.

So you think you've avoided the impossible at least?

-Yeah.

-OK, good, good.

Let's see if you have.

You have.

Mary Berry of course not a chart-topping singer.

She is, Sam...?

The...

..cake person.

She's the cake person, exactly right.

I think that's the title of her autobiography.

Mary Berry - Cake Person.

Question number two.

Mainly As, a few Cs and a B.

Laura, a fan of boybands?

Not so much, but I do remember Boyzone.

Happy with your answer of Keith Duffy?

Yeah, I watched it. I remember him in it.

Angela?

Every time you speak to me

it's just before I go home.

That's not true, Angela.

Sometimes I like to just have a chat to you.

-Ever watched any Corrie?

-Yeah.

Ever listen to any Boyzone?

I only know, what's the name...

..Ronan Keating.

He's the only one I know.

Well, let's have a look at the impossible answer.

It's B, Nicky Byrne.

Who is in Westlife, not Boyzone.

So, Joe, unfortunately,

we'll have to see you tomorrow.

Angela, you're still in.

Hooray.

Can you ask me another that I know?

Yeah, sure.

Let's find out if you knew this one, Angela.

The points are going to...

..the As, Keith Duffy.

A point to all of you.

Question number three.

Full house of answers.

The right answer...

..is C, granite.

Aberdeen is called the Granite City

because a lot of its buildings are made from granite.

A point to all of you.

Eddie.

I think igneous rock is formed from volcanoes.

And I...

..sort of remember from GCSE geography

that basalt is an igneous rock.

But I could be wrong but I'm fairly sure.

Vicki, you've gone with limestone.

I know.

And there is only a couple of us so

that's obviously the impossible answer.

You think?

-How come?

-I think so.

Today's not obviously my day.

Oh, Vicky. That's heartbreaking.

Let's find out.

The impossible answer...

..is A, limestone.

Your GCSE geography recall is pretty good, Eddie.

Basalt is an igneous rock,

limestone is a sedimentary rock.

Ciaran, Sam, Yvonne and Vicky.

We'll say goodbye.

See you tomorrow.

Question number four.

Sue, I'm afraid you didn't quite

lock your answer in quickly enough.

Furiously doing your maths.

No, I was singing.

I was trying to sing it.

I was trying to get

to the eight times.

Do you want to give us a little blast, Sue?

-No, I'll spare you that.

-You sure?

No, I'll spare you that, Rick.

OK, well, go home and sing it to yourself.

We'll see you tomorrow.

OK, thank you, bye.

-Linda.

-Yes.

You ended up at five gold rings.

I did, I did, I did.

Feeling relatively happy with that?

Relatively happy that at least it's not impossible.

What do you think the impossible is?

Seven geese a-laying.

Oh. Your neighbour Alyssa

doesn't look pleased about that because she has

gone for seven geese a-laying.

Considering I'm a maths student you think I would have got

that working right by working out but clearly not.

It's not looking great.

The impossible answer is...

..C, seven geese a-laying.

It's six geese a-laying...

..and seven swans a-swimming.

Alyssa, Jordan, Angela and Steve.

We'll see you all tomorrow.

And the points are going to...

..the Bs, five gold rings.

14 of you left in play,

eight of you are on the maximum four points,

including Eve.

-Yay.

-Yay!

Question number five.

So we've just got Bs and Cs.

Let's see if you've avoided the impossible.

You have. The impossible was A, chopper.

There is no golf club

called a chopper.

It's slang for a helicopter

and was a popular bike in the '70s.

And the right answer...

..is C, the wedge.

So a point to everyone who went for C.

So seven of you

have finished the round

on a maximum five points.

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

..was Kathryn.

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Kathryn.

You have, and it's got to be said,

yet another chance to try and grab a place in the final.

Kathryn.

This is your fourth grid now.

-It is.

-Shall we just get down to business?

-We will. Yeah.

We know what we're doing here.

Yeah. And then I can hand over to Terry quicker then.

-OK, yeah.

-You get ready, Terry.

So, this is your chance...

-It is.

-..to put money into the daily prize pot,

hopefully not for other people this time.

We want you to take a step towards playing the £10,000 question.

-OK.

-Going to give you a choice of four topics.

What would your ideal topics be?

-Knitting.

-Knitting?

Yeah.

OK. Shall we have a look at the four?

Yeah.

I'll go for sport.

Sport. Why not?

Yeah, I'm not bad on sport but it depends on which sport.

If it's soccer,

with all those overpaid underachievers

I would just be so...

..clear out of the air.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

So I'm going to reveal nine answers...

-OK.

-..all relating to sport...

-OK.

-..and obviously we're hoping they're not football.

Oh, God.

-Terry?

-Any early thoughts here?

I have heard of some of them.

-Well, that's a start.

-Yeah.

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

Yeah, why not? All right, then.

Where would you like to start?

It could be anywhere.

I think the only one I recognised,

and the only name I really recognised,

and I don't think he is in Leicester,

but that means absolutely nothing,

is Jack Wilshere.

Jack Wilshere. OK.

So you recognise the name?

I do. But I think he might be,

is it Tottenham or something?

-I'm not sure.

-OK.

Probably totally wrong.

Is Jack Wilshere an impossible answer?

Jack Wilshere, Arsenal player.

Not massively into Tottenham, actually.

OK, fair enough.

I knew it was down south somewhere. That's all that counts.

One from one.

One from one.

Making it look easy, Kathryn.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, really.

Is Kasper Schmeichel related to

the other Schmeichel goalkeeper that used to play?

I can't tell you.

You can't tell me. I know.

Well, I'll go for him, then.

Because I think if it is I don't think he plays for Leicester.

But then again, he might.

Is Kasper Schmeichel an impossible answer?

Oh, no. He obviously does.

Unfortunately not. He does.

OK.

Ryan Bertrand.

Ryan Bertrand.

Is Ryan Bertrand an impossible answer?

Yes.

He was at Southampton. Where next?

£200 in the prize pot.

Nathaniel Chalobah.

"Challer-bah." "Challow-bah?"

Is Nathaniel Chalobah an impossible answer?

He was a Chelsea player, although I think he was on loan that season.

But definitely didn't play for Leicester.

One more lucky guess, please.

Riyad Mahrez.

Is Riyad Mahrez an impossible answer?

I'm afraid not.

He was a member of Leicester City's 2015-16 winning squad.

OK.

But you've put £300 into the daily prize pot.

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

-Give me the right answer, you're in the final.

-OK.

Give me a wrong answer,

-the next best player will have the chance to steal.

-OK.

That next best player...

..was Abigail.

Oh, wow.

Hold tight, Abigail.

Do you follow football, Abigail?

No, my boyfriend is always going on about it, though.

So I wish I listened more.

He'd know this.

Shall we have a look at the second half of the question?

Oh, do. Yes.

I'll go for Riyad Mahrez.

Riyad Mahrez.

Is Riyad Mahrez the right answer?

Well, there is a surprise, folks.

True to form. Abigail.

Start thinking back over some of those conversations,

one-sided conversations,

with your boyfriend.

I'm going to have to play it safe

cos I don't want to

get the impossible answer.

I'll go with Kasper Schmeichel.

OK. Going to go for that.

So playing it safe.

Was Kasper Schmeichel

the Leicester club captain in 2015-16?

No.

And you know what that means, Kathryn.

Come on.

I mean, we'd better deal with the right answer, obviously.

Actually, just for me, Kurtis.

Big moment for you, Kurtis.

-Cheers, mate.

-Right answer, please.

Wes Morgan.

Correct, Kurtis.

The impossible answers were Danny Ings

who was playing for Liverpool at the time,

and Gylfi Sigurdsson,

who was with Swansea.

-Remember that.

-I will.

But for now go over and take your seat in the final.

Thank you.

Still two places left in today's final alongside Kathryn.

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

13 of you left.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

Good luck.

Here's your first question.

Just got As and Bs.

The right answer...

..is B, Claude Littner.

So a point to everyone who went for B.

Kurtis, have you avoided

the impossible answer?

Yeah, I think so.

I think Deborah Meadon was on Dragons' Den.

So I don't think she was on The Apprentice.

OK, let's find out.

The impossible answer...

..Deborah Meadon, who was on

Dragons' Den, exactly as you said.

Question number two.

-Tracey.

-Hi, Rick.

Gone with Costa Dorada.

That just sounds familiar to me as a Spanish place

so I thought rather than risk

going impossible maybe stay a bit safer by choosing that one.

OK, so just try and

-stay in the game with that?

-Yeah.

Abigail?

Ever holidayed in the Costa Mendez?

No and Costa Dorada is the only one I've heard of as well so

I don't know what made me go for Mendez.

It's the kind of tactic that Linda

sometimes employs when she is like,

"Well, I know that one is safe."

-Guess and press.

-So forget that.

The impossible answer is...

..A, Costa Mendez.

Costa Mendez is not

a stretch of Spanish coastline,

he was the

Argentine Foreign Minister

during the Falklands conflict.

Kurtis, Abigail, Matthew and Laura.

We will see you all tomorrow.

See ya!

And the points are going to...

..the Cs, Costa Calida.

Wendy, Terry and Eddie get a point.

Costa Dorada means Golden Coast.

Question number three.

Hopefully you avoided the impossible answer...

..which is...

..A, the Polynesian.

Not a hotel on the Las Vegas strip.

The Polynesian is a resort,

now called Polynesian Village,

at Walt Disney World in Florida,

not in Las Vegas.

Andrew, Terry and Eve,

even after my little word with you...

..we'll have to see you tomorrow.

Goodbye, Rick.

Let's see if our Bs

have got the points.

They have, point to all of you.

Treasure Island has

a massive galleon out the front,

but no volcano.

Question number four.

Andy.

Beckenbauer was

a footballer, wasn't he?

Ah, so you think that might be

the impossible answer?

If I've got the right Beckenbauer.

Franklyn, you've gone

with Franz Beckenbauer.

Yeah, again, it was a guess.

It sounded more...

..German politician to me,

but clearly as I'm the only one that got C,

I think I'm saying, "See you later."

Are you a football fan, Franklyn?

-Actually not, no.

-OK.

So I wouldn't have known it anyway,

if it was a football question. So...

Let's find out if Beckenbauer

is a footballer, not a politician.

The impossible answer...

..is C, Franz Beckenbauer.

German footballer.

Franklyn, unfortunately

I'll have to see you tomorrow.

And the points are going...

..to the As, Otto von Bismarck.

Final question, question number five.

How are you feeling about your answer, Eddie?

It's a guess. I know...

..he didn't do Presumed Innocent.

So A Time To Kill and

The Pelican Brief are both his.

So it's a guess. 50/50.

OK. The impossible answer...

..is Presumed Innocent.

As you said. Not by John Grisham.

It's by Scott Turow.

And the right answer...

..is A Time To Kill.

So a point to Tracey and a point to Eddie.

Which means at the end of the round

Eddie finishes on a maximum five points

and is the winner.

-Congratulations, Eddie.

-Thank you.

The second chance to get a place in today's final.

-Hello, Eddie.

-Hello again, Rick.

Nice to have you back.

Nice to be back, yeah.

So, Eddie, are you a big quizzer?

-You like quizzes?

-Yeah,

I would go to a pub quizzes and stuff more than anything else.

Watch the odd one on TV.

I've wanted to go on a TV quiz show for...

..years now, I think, so, yeah.

-And here we are.

-Here we are.

-Dream achieved.

-Yeah.

And getting closer to the £10,000 as well.

Slowly but surely.

Do you do well at the old pub quizzes?

Sometimes, sometimes...

It depends on how much I've had to drink first, I think.

Of course.

It does sometimes hamper the thinking, doesn't it?

Shall we have a look at the three topics?

Yes, crack on.

The Bible I could probably have a stab at

-but I'm going to go with Film & TV.

-Film & TV?

-Yeah. It's where I'm most comfortable.

-All right.

Any ideas?

I recognise all the names, I just...

I can't really see any sort of...

Nothing is jumping out at me that

would connect them or anything, so.

-Shall we see if the first half of the question...

-Yes, please.

-..joins some dots for you?

-Hopefully, yes.

Here it is.

-OK.

-So five of those answers are impossible.

Your first task is to identify the impossible answers,

get them off the board,

and for each one you successfully eliminate

we'll put £100 into the prize pot,

which currently stands at £300.

Where would you like to start?

I'll start with...

..David Frost.

I think...

He was the interviewer guy, wasn't he?

So I can see him being in a film.

OK, so David Frost.

Is David Frost an impossible answer?

No, he has been portrayed by the actor Michael Sheen.

Four more goes.

Charles Dickens, please.

Charles Dickens.

-Any reason?

-No.

Not a problem.

It just sort of jumped out at me.

Is Charles Dickens an impossible answer?

Yes.

Dickens has been portrayed by many actors but never Sheen.

OK.

I'll go with...

..John Lennon next, please.

John Lennon.

Thoughts?

Again, just a complete guess.

Fair enough.

Is John Lennon an impossible answer?

It is.

Peter Sellers. We'll go with Peter Sellers.

Peter Sellers.

Yeah. I just can't see Michael Sheen playing Peter Sellers.

Is Peter Sellers an impossible answer?

Yes.

Going well now, Eddie.

OK, um...

The last one...

Walt Disney?

-Walt Disney?

-Yeah.

I know there was a film about

Walt Disney out quite recently...

I just can't think if it was Michael Sheen or not.

-But, yeah, Walt Disney.

-OK.

Is Walt Disney an impossible answer?

Yes.

£400 added to the prize pot.

It now stands at £700.

But are you going to be playing for that money

and for a shot at the £10,000 question in the final?

I'm going to reveal the second half of the question and I want you to

give me the right answer.

If you give me the right answer,

you're in the final.

If you give me a wrong answer, though,

the next best player will have the chance to steal your place.

And that player...

..is Tracey.

Hold tight, Tracey.

What do you reckon?

Not too bad a board,

depending on what the second half of the question is.

Don't say that.

I don't want to hear that.

Yeah, it really depends what the second half is.

Seen Michael Sheen's performance as some of these characters?

I recognise quite a few, yeah.

Sounds ominous, Eddie.

Shall we read the full question?

Let's go for it.

I know he's played Tony Blair and if it is a deal, politician.

I haven't seen it, so we'll try Tony Blair.

OK.

Is Tony Blair at the right answer?

It is.

Well done.

The one remaining impossible answer up there is

Richard Burton.

Arguably one of Michael Sheen's most famous roles

was when he played David Frost in Frost/Nixon.

2008 film. Check it out, Eddie.

The only two I knew were Tony Blair and Brian Clough.

Ah, The Dammed United.

OK, well done.

You're through to the final. Cheers, Eddie.

Just the one place up for grabs in the final.

Who's it going be?

Only four of you surviving now.

-Are we ready?

-Yes.

Good luck.

Here's your first question.

Wendy.

It's not Michaelmas because

that's near Christmas, I think, isn't it?

I've never heard of Lady's Day.

So it was the middle one.

OK. Wendy is saying

it's not Michaelmas, Andy.

You've gone for Michaelmas.

Yeah, I have, haven't I?

You have a bit.

Let's have a look at the right answer.

See where the points are going.

A, Lady Day.

No points are going anywhere.

So the situation is this.

Either Andy is out

because he's given an impossible answer

or he's going down to play the grid because he hasn't.

Are you a betting man, Andy?

Not 3-1 against, no.

OK.

The impossible answer is...

..St Swithin's Day.

Should have taken that bet, Andy.

Should have taken that bet.

St Swithin's Day is the 15th of July

but it is not a quarter day.

Linda, Tracey and Wendy.

We'll see you all tomorrow.

-Yeah, bye.

-Come on...

Andy, you're coming down to play the grid.

How did that happen?

-Andy.

-Yes, Rick.

Hello. Surprised to be down here?

Just a little bit, yeah.

We're trying to get you this £10,000

because you want a new driveway.

A driveway is something that I don't want to spend MY money on.

Spend our money, by all means.

But I don't mind spending THAT money on it,

-but I don't want to spend MY money on it.

-OK.

Which of the two remaining topics would you fancy most?

Definitely the Bible I will not be going for.

Not the Bible.

I've never read the Bible, no.

So the UK.

All right.

I'm going to show you nine answers...

..relating to the UK.

And here they come.

-Any idea what they are?

-No.

I haven't got a clue.

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

Yes, please.

Right, I'm quite glad that I don't know that.

Five of those are impossible answers.

Your first job is to eliminate those from the grid.

For each one you successfully eliminate

we'll put another £100 into the prize pot,

which currently stands at £700.

-OK.

-Where would you like to start?

Well... Let's go for Spring Hill.

I honestly haven't got a clue.

Is Spring Hill an impossible answer?

Spring Hill is an open prison in Buckinghamshire.

£100 added to the prize pot.

-Good start.

-Thank you.

Let's go for Long Lartin.

Is Long Lartin an impossible answer?

It's not, I'm afraid.

That is a high security prison.

Full Sutton.

These are all, these are all guesses.

Is Full Sutton an impossible answer?

That's another high security prison,

I'm afraid, Andy.

All right. Let's move over to the other side of the board.

Let's go for Ford.

Is Ford an impossible answer?

Yes.

Ford is another open prison in West Sussex.

North Sea Camp.

Is North Sea Camp an impossible answer?

Yes.

So you've got the prize pot up to £1,000.

Got rid of three impossible answers.

Not too bad, given you didn't know any of them.

I haven't got a clue.

For the second half of the question...

..I want the right answer.

-OK.

-Give me the right answer and you are in the final.

Give me a wrong answer

and the next best player will have the chance to steal your place.

Understood.

That is...

..as per, Tracey.

Tracey, spent any time in prison?

No, thankfully.

But there is time yet, Rick. I'm still quite young.

Absolutely, Tracey.

All right. If you give me an impossible answer, Andy,

and we know there are still two up there,

you will be eliminated from today's show.

Let's reveal the full question, shall we?

Go on, then.

Let's go for Long Lartin.

Is Long Lartin the right answer?

It's not, I'm afraid.

They should move it.

-Well, I'll speak to them.

-Thanks.

I have a regular phone call.

It's a wrong answer which means I come to you, Tracey.

OK. So there is one name that has jumped out at me

since the board came up

because I recognise it as a prison.

Whether it is high security or in London I'm not sure...

But I'm going to take a punt on it

and say Belmarsh.

Taking a bit of a punt.

Not taking the safe option.

Is Belmarsh a high security prison in London?

It is.

Well done, Tracey.

You've taken the risk and it's paid off.

You've just nabbed Andy's place in the final.

Sorry, Andy.

Andy's fuming.

The other impossible answers are still up there are.

Sudbury, which is an open prison in Derbyshire...

..and Kirkam, which is an open prison in Lancashire.

Bad luck, Andy.

-Hopefully we'll see you down here again.

-Let's hope so.

Tracey, you're in the final.

For the rest of you, I'm afraid

that victory today proved impossible.

We'll see you all again tomorrow.

-Goodbye.

-Bye!

But for Kathryn, Eddie and Tracey,

it's time for the final.

Kathryn, Eddie and Tracey,

there is £1,000 in today's prize pot,

but only one of you can win that money

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

Tracey, pleased to be down here?

Nice little steal at the end there.

Yeah, not bad, actually.

I'm a little bit nervous, being down here for the first time,

but it is fantastic to be out of the chair.

You will settle in very quickly, Tracey.

Don't worry.

So we know that there is a lot at stake here.

Memories in Vietnam for Kathryn.

A wood-burning stove.

Maybe a deposit on a forge,

haven't quite persuaded him of that yet, for Eddie.

And, Tracey, we're going to get you to that Dirty Dancing hotel.

You're each going to start with ten lives.

The questions are on the buzzer.

A right answer knocks a life of both of your opponents.

A wrong answer and you lose one of your own lives.

But look out for those impossible questions.

You can knock two lives from your opponents,

but if you mess up,

you lose two lives of your own.

Ready?

Which soup, usually consisting of

leeks and chicken stock, is known as

Scotland's National...

Tracey.

Cock-a-leekie.

It is cock-a-leekie.

It is impossible.

They were married in 1986.

-Oscar Wilde.

It was Oscar Wilde.

Which of the noble gases has the chemical symbol NE?

How many horns did a Triceratops have?

-Kathryn.

It is three.

Which Asian country was formerly known as Abyssinia?

-Eddie.

-Impossible.

It is impossible.

Abyssinia was in Africa.

Kathryn, you lose two lives.

Tracey, you lose your last two lives.

Tracey, you have been put in the corner, I'm afraid.

In the sitcom Frasier,

Martin Crane is a practitioner in which branch of medicine?

-Eddie.

-Psychology.

I'm afraid it's impossible.

Martin Crane is the father.

He is a retired police officer.

Eddie, you lose two lives.

Trafalgar Square's Christmas tree is

an annual gift from which European... Kathryn.

-Norway.

-..which European country?

It is Norway.

Eddie, you lose a life.

I can understand why you are stepping back and breathing out.

Which English city shares its name

with a type of bomber that took part in the... Eddie.

-Impossible.

-..that took part in the Dam Buster raids?

It's Lancaster.

Eddie, I'm sorry, you lose your last remaining life.

Eddie and Tracey, we'll see you back in the pack tomorrow.

Commiserations.

But, Kathryn, at long last,

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

Very well done, Kathryn.

You are today's winner with £1,000,

-which is lovely.

-Thank you.

But you could be leaving with a whole lot more

if you can answer the £10,000 question.

You had quite a slow start in the final round.

I was worried about you, Kathryn.

Yes. Yes.

I was quite worried as well.

But I did know the last answer so if I would have got in there first

I would have got that. I didn't sort of totally win by default,

-I don't think.

-OK, OK.

So you've pulled through and here we are.

This is how it's going to work.

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

Three of the nine answers are correct,

if you can find them within ten seconds

you win £10,000.

That's the good news.

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

If you pick any of those,

you won't win the £10,000.

The bad news, of course, is that

three of the nine answers are impossible.

If you give me any of those,

you will lose the daily prize pot.

Shall we have a look at this topic?

Please.

I can tell you...

..it's on pop music.

Depends on the era.

If it's current that will be very difficult.

-Yeah.

-All right.

-Ready?

-As I'll ever be.

-Yeah.

-Best of luck, Kathryn.

Thank you.

Here come your nine answers.

You'll have ten seconds to lock in your answers

and you are looking for...

..and your time starts now.

How Deep Is Your Love.

Tragedy.

You Should Be Dancing.

Right sort of era or not?

Um, yeah, not too bad.

I knew three definites...

Bee Gees songs and perhaps

I should have gone for them and played safe.

But I knew one of them wasn't on the track for Saturday Night Fever.

So the others are a bit of a guess, I'm afraid.

-OK.

-I'm hoping I've missed the impossible,

but I'm not sure that I have.

What do you think the impossible answers are?

-Looking at it?

-Relight My Fire.

I don't think that is a Bee Gees number.

I think You Win Again is not one of theirs.

And I don't know Dancing With Tears In My Eyes.

I'm not sure.

OK.

Well, we will find out.

Where shall we start? How Deep Is Your Love?

That's one of our rock choir songs.

-You've sung it?

-Yeah.

Is it a right answer?

It is.

It's on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Have you sung any of the others in the rock choir?

-No.

-Just that one?

-Just that one.

-OK.

Let's go down to You Should Be Dancing.

Confident that this...?

No, I'm not confident that that is a Bee Gees number,

now I think about it.

Is You Should Be Dancing a Bee Gees song

that is on the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever?

It is, Kathryn.

If you had a bit more time would you change your answer?

Is there another one you might go for?

Perhaps More Than A Woman.

I don't know. I'm not sure.

Well...

If Tragedy is right, you've just won £10,000, Kathryn.

Is Tragedy a right answer?

It's not, it's not the

Saturday Night Fever soundtrack unfortunately.

But you've still won £1,000.

Yeah.

You said you were tempted by More Than A Woman.

That was the other right answer.

That would have won the £10,000.

The impossible answers,

Relight My Fire is not a Bee Gees song.

It's Take That.

Dancing With Tears In My Eyes is Ultravox.

Summer Nights, that's from Grease, isn't it?

Summer Night is in Grease.

Doesn't matter. You have won £1,000.

Hopefully that will go some way

towards making some fabulous new memories.

Thank you so much for playing.

-Give me a hug.

-Thanks very much, Rick.

Thank you.

Have you enjoyed yourself?

Lovely. Really great. Yeah.

So, Kathryn leaves with £1,000.

The rest of us will be back tomorrow

when someone else will have the chance to win £10,000.

This has been Impossible,

the quiz where, actually, anything is possible.

Goodbye.
