0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello. I'm Rick Edwards and this is !mpossible, day 10.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Welcome to !mpossible,
0:00:18 > 0:00:20the quiz where the questions aren't impossible,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23but some of the answers always are.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26They're not just wrong, they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27For example, if I were to ask...
0:00:33 > 0:00:37The right answer is Zambezi, the wrong answer is Nile,
0:00:37 > 0:00:41but the Amazon is in South America, not an African river at all,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43so that is an impossible answer.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hoping to get lots of right answers
0:00:45 > 0:00:49whilst dodging those pesky impossible answers are 30 players.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50- Hello, players. ALL:- Hi, Rick.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Nice to see you all.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54They are with us throughout the series, competing,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58not only for the daily prize pot of up to £1,500...
0:00:58 > 0:00:59- ALL:- Whoo!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03But also for a shot at the £10,000 question.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04- ALL:- WHOO!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07They're whooing because this exclamation mark
0:01:07 > 0:01:10is filled with 10,000 shimmering pound coins,
0:01:10 > 0:01:15and at the end of every show our winner faces one final question -
0:01:15 > 0:01:17and here it is.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Today's £10,000 question.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24Get this right and all of that cash will come flooding out.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Simon, you're new.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27I am, yes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I'm pleased to be here. Is everyone making you feel welcome?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Very welcome. They are a lovely bunch, especially on the middle row.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37That's the way to curry favour, Simon.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40You're in Gary's seat.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Gary did extremely well. Gary left the show yesterday with £1,200.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Yeah, he did very well and I'm feeling confident.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47I feel like it's a lucky seat.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49OK, OK.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Best of luck, Simon.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52For now, let's crack on.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56You're going to face five multiple-choice questions,
0:01:56 > 0:01:57each with three answers.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02The right answer scores you a point, the wrong answer scores you nothing,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04but if you choose the impossible answer...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07..it's a bit of a disaster.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10That immediately knocks you out of today's show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12You'll have to try again next time.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15After five questions, the highest scorer
0:02:15 > 0:02:18gets the first chance to bag a place in today's final.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22And do answer as quickly as you can, because if there's a tie,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25whoever locked in their answers the fastest will qualify.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Are you all ready? ALL:- Yes!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Here's your first question. Good luck.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Let's reveal the right answer.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51It is C, John.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54So a point to most of you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Craig went with David.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yeah. I panic pressed, basically.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02I don't know the answer, but it's not the answer I wanted to go for.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I wanted to go for John, naturally, because it's the right answer.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Yeah.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Vinessa, you went David.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I know, it sounds like a regal name so I just went with that, really.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I was expecting another name and that didn't come up.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- What name were you expecting? - I don't know.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21LAUGHTER
0:03:21 > 0:03:22That will do.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31It's A, David.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35There's never been a King of England called David.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I'm sorry. The three of you, we'll see you all next time.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Question number two.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Let's reveal the right answer.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03It's B, Joe McElderry.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05A point to everyone who went for Joe McElderry.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Does mean we're going to be losing some of you.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Kerry.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- You went for Olly Murs.- I did.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Before I came onto the show, my daughter distinctly said,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23"Olly Murs has not won The X Factor."
0:04:23 > 0:04:25LAUGHTER
0:04:25 > 0:04:27"So if you do see his name,
0:04:27 > 0:04:32"under no circumstances do choose the name Olly Murs."
0:04:32 > 0:04:33I said, "Very good, sweetheart."
0:04:35 > 0:04:38However, I do have an explanation for this.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I don't know if you do, Kerry.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I had two voices in my head.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47One said "do" and one said "don't". And I did.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52I'm imagining your daughter at home...smashing the TV.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55LAUGHTER
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It's C, Olly Murs.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Your daughter was absolutely right. He didn't win The X Factor, Kerry.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11He was runner-up to Joe McElderry. I don't know what to say to you.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13LAUGHTER
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Annie and Dan, we also have to lose you.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18We'll see you next time.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Question number three.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let's reveal the right answer.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43A point to everyone who put B.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Now, the Cs, we need to hope
0:05:45 > 0:05:49that Oscar Wilde is not an impossible answer.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55It is Noel Coward,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59so you all successfully avoided the impossible answer.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Question number four.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Let's reveal the right answer.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's B, Tony Curtis.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So a point to everyone who put B.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Jane, have you seen Some Like It Hot?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Oh, probably 100 years ago,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34but, you know, I can't remember who played that.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38OK. Well, let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's Billy Wilder.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45He wrote and directed the film.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Oh, OK.- Jane, Linda, we'll see you next time.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Bye.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Let's move on to question five.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Let's first reveal the impossible answer.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It's B, pilaf, a rice dish.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Well avoided.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Let's reveal the right answer.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23It's Farsi, meaning the majority of you get a point,
0:07:23 > 0:07:28which leaves us with four players on the maximum number of points, five.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Of those four players, Ash, Deb, Tracy and Kurtis,
0:07:32 > 0:07:38I can tell you that the fastest to lock in their answers over the round
0:07:38 > 0:07:39was Tracy!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41APPLAUSE
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Well done, Tracy.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46You have the first chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Tracy, you've already won £1,200 on the show,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58we're going to see if we can get you some more money today.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02This is your chance to put up to £500 into today's prize pot
0:08:02 > 0:08:06and, crucially, take a massive step towards playing
0:08:06 > 0:08:08the £10,000 question.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I'm going to give you a choice of four topics. Here they are.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I think I'll go for books and literature, please.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Books and literature. So this is how it works.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I'm going to reveal nine answers.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Here we go. We've got...
0:08:43 > 0:08:46And the first half of the question...
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Five of these answers are impossible because they aren't Mr Men books.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Your first job is to find the impossible answers.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Each impossible answer that you do manage to get rid of
0:09:02 > 0:09:05will add £100 to today's prize pot.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- OK.- Where would you like to start?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Mr Tumble.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Why are we getting rid of Mr Tumble?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I think he's a character on children's telly.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18OK. Is Mr Tumble an impossible answer?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23He is.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Played by Justin Fletcher, a popular children's TV character.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29£100 into the prize pot.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Second answer, please, Tracy.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Mr Blobby.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36What can you tell me about Mr Blobby?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Another character off telly.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41OK. Is Mr Blobby an impossible answer?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45He is.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48From Noel's House Party.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51What's your third go going to be?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Mr Irrelevant.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Any thoughts about Mr Irrelevant?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It just seems like the wrong sort of word
0:09:58 > 0:10:01for a children's book, really, so...
0:10:01 > 0:10:06OK. Is Mr Irrelevant an impossible answer?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13It is. £300 added to the prize pot.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Mr Irrelevant is a name given
0:10:15 > 0:10:19to the last player picked in the annual NFL draft.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- I knew that. - I know you did, Tracy.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23You just didn't want to show off.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Exactly.- OK.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Two more to eliminate.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Well, my husband's got a T-shirt
0:10:28 > 0:10:31that says, "I live with Little Miss Bossy,"
0:10:31 > 0:10:33so it could be that bossy is the Little Miss stories
0:10:33 > 0:10:36rather than the Mr Men, so I'll go for Mr Bossy.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40OK. Is Mr Bossy an impossible answer?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46APPLAUSE
0:10:47 > 0:10:50You were exactly right with your reasoning.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53There is a Little Miss Bossy but not a Mr Bossy.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55£400 added to the prize pot.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Let's see if we can make it 500.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02On the basis that I think I can remember the other four in books,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I shall go for Mr Nice.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09OK. Is Mr Nice an impossible answer?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16It is. £500 into the prize pot.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18All five impossibles eliminated.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Mr Nice is the name of Howard Marks' autobiography.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24But will you be playing for that money
0:11:24 > 0:11:28and a shot at the 10,000 question in today's final?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34and now I'm looking for the right answer.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Find it and a place in the final is yours.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Give me a wrong answer and the next best player will have a chance
0:11:41 > 0:11:44to steal your place in the final.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49I can reveal that the next best player was your neighbour, Kurtis.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Let's reveal the full question.
0:11:55 > 0:12:01Which of Roger Hargreaves' Mr Men books is the first in the series?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It's going to be a total guess, so I shall say Mr Silly.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12Mr Silly? Was Mr Silly the first in the Mr Men series of books?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19It wasn't, I'm afraid, Tracy.
0:12:19 > 0:12:26That's a wrong answer, meaning that, Kurtis, you now have a chance
0:12:26 > 0:12:29to steal Tracy's place.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I think I'm going to go for Mr Tickle.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Mr Tickle.- Yeah.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38If Mr Tickle is right you will steal Tracy's place in the final,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42the lady that you've become close to over the last two weeks.
0:12:45 > 0:12:52Was Mr Tickle the first in the series of Mr Men books?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57It was.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Well done.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Mr Tickle was inspired by Roger Hargreaves' son
0:13:02 > 0:13:05asking him what a tickle would look like. Well done, Kurtis.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08You have nabbed Tracy's place in the final.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I'm sorry, Tracy. Kurtis, take your place.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22Still two places left in today's final alongside Kurtis.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Let's find out who's going to be claiming the next one.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Here's your first question.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Let's reveal the right answer.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46It's SW1, C.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48A point to all of you who put that.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52OK, let's reveal the impossible answer and hope it isn't W1.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58It's S1, which is in Sheffield,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00so well done everyone for avoiding that.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Question number two.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Let's first reveal the right answer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30It's A, Manet. Points to everyone who went for Manet.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It's Magritte.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Magritte was a Belgian artist.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It is CARNAGE here.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47We've just lost a load of you.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Parin...you dodged it!
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Well done. Eight of you, I'm afraid, we're going to have to say goodbye,
0:14:56 > 0:14:57and we'll see you next time.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02So after a brutal question two, let's get on to question three.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Let's reveal the right answer.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's Liz Truss.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29So a point if you went for Truss.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Parin went out on a limb on the last question,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35this time it's you that has, Anne.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37So why did you go for Karen Bradley?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Her name rang a vague bell but I'm not sure in what connection.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54I'm afraid it's Margaret Hodge, who is a Labour MP.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It's another massacre.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58We're losing seven of you.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I'm sorry, we'll see you all next time.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07And Karen Bradley was appointed Culture Secretary in July 2016.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Well, I'm very relieved and surprised.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Just six players left to answer question four.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Let's reveal the right answer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's Father Noel.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36A point to all of you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Joe?- I knew Dougal was in it
0:16:39 > 0:16:41and I also knew he was played by Ardal O'Hanlon,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44so I thought, "Well, not too sure about the other two
0:16:44 > 0:16:45"so I'll go for the safe bet".
0:16:45 > 0:16:48So you played safe, avoided the impossible.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Yep.- You hope. Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56It is Father Sean. Good tactics, Jo.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59You all survive. Going into the final question,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03just two of you on four points.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Question number five.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Let's see if you're all right, I'm hoping you are.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Yes, it's A, Windermere.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27A point to all of you.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Which means that Gerard and Megan are tied on five points.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Deb, any idea on the impossible answer?
0:17:38 > 0:17:44Rutland Water because it's not a natural lake, it was man-made.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Let's see if you're right, let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It is Rutland Water for exactly the reason you gave, Deb.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It's a man-made reservoir.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Back up to the top, to our leaders.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I can reveal that the quickest
0:18:02 > 0:18:04to lock in their answers across the round...
0:18:07 > 0:18:08..was Megan!
0:18:08 > 0:18:10APPLAUSE
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Congratulations, Megan.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16You have the chance to grab a place in today's final alongside Kurtis.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Megan, well done.- Thanks.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24First time on the grid.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Weirdly, you've been in the final, but you stole a place from Paul.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29I know. I'm a wee bit nervous
0:18:29 > 0:18:32cos the topics earlier just really didn't appeal to me.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Oh, do they not?- No. - I'm sorry about that.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I know. It's OK, it's not your fault.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39No, it isn't, actually. You're right.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43All right, so you now have the chance to add another £500
0:18:43 > 0:18:47to today's prize pot, which already stands at £500.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49You can also take a huge step
0:18:49 > 0:18:52towards playing the £10,000 question.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Of the three remaining topics,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I know none of them particularly appeal,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59but which are you going to go for?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I don't know, I'm so torn between sport and musical theatre.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06If I choose sport and I get something I like I'll be good,
0:19:06 > 0:19:10but if I get sport and something that my dad and fiance and brother
0:19:10 > 0:19:13would like, I'll be torn to pieces when to go home.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- So I'm going to go sport.- OK.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20Sport. This is what's going to happen.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I'll reveal nine answers.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23They are...
0:19:44 > 0:19:45You had a little giggle there.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Yeah, because I knew it was football.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50And I knew if I don't get this, I'm going to be completely annihilated.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54OK. So, we're doing this for your fiance and your dad,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- and all the men you know. - Yeah, basically.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59And me. My sanity.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Yes.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03The first half of the question is...
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Five of those answers are impossible
0:20:11 > 0:20:14because they're not Welsh footballers.
0:20:14 > 0:20:20Each impossible answer you eliminate will add £100 to today's prize pot.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21First answer.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25I'm going to go Jonny Evans, cos he's obviously Northern Irish.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27You think he's Northern Irish.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Is Jonny Evans an impossible answer?
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Yes.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Yes, it is. Northern Irish.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41You really would've been in trouble if you hadn't got that.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Steven Davis, he's the captain of Ireland, so...
0:20:44 > 0:20:47You think Steven Davis is the captain of Northern Ireland.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Definitely not a Welsh footballer.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Is he an impossible answer?
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Yes, he is.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Two from two. £200 added to the prize pot.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05Oh. I'm going to go Joe Ledley. I think he might be English.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- I think.- OK. Let's get Joe Ledley locked in.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13You think Joe Ledley might be English.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Probably wrong now. - Is Joe Ledley an impossible answer?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23No. He plays for Wales.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Two more cracks at eliminating some impossibles.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33OK, I'm going to go for Hal Robson-Kanu.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I actually don't know. This is just complete guesses now.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40OK. Is Hal Robson-Kanu an impossible answer?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Unfortunately not.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Also played for Wales at Euro 2016.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51OK. So, one more go.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'll go Wes "Hoolio-han".
0:21:53 > 0:21:55"Houlia-han"? Hoolahan?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Hoolahan.- Wes Hoolahan, please.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Wes Hoolahan.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Is Wes Hoolahan an impossible answer?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Yes. Plays for the Republic of Ireland.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16£300 added to the prize pot takes it to £800.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Now, we need to see if you're going to be playing for that money
0:22:19 > 0:22:23and for a shot of the £10,000 question in today's final.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25When I reveal the second half of the question,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27you need to tell me the right answer.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30If you find it, you go through to the final.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33If you give me a wrong answer, the next best player is your neighbour,
0:22:33 > 0:22:40Gerard, and he will get the chance to steal your place in that final.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Unfortunately, there are two impossible answers
0:22:44 > 0:22:45remaining on the grid.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49If you give me one of those,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52you will be eliminated from today's show.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54The full question is...
0:23:07 > 0:23:09OK. Um...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I'm going to go with Joe Ledley.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- OK. Want to lock Joe Ledley in? - Yes, please.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Did Joe Ledley score against Belgium after performing a Cruyff turn?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Ah, no!- He didn't, I'm afraid.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31That is a wrong answer.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34That means we throw to Gerard.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Gerard. Keen football fan?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42No, I have to say. Um...
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Just to remind you, Gerard, if you give an impossible answer yourself,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47that will eliminate you from today's show.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Yeah. But I do know that this guy plays for Wales,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54and used to play for Reading.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56So, I'm going to say Hal Robson-Kanu.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57OK.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Is Hal Robson-Kanu the right answer?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08It is.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I'm sorry, Megan.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Well done, Gerard.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14You've nabbed Megan's place in the final.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16The impossibles that you missed...
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Shane Long plays for Republic of Ireland,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23and Nathaniel Clyne, who's English. Bad luck, Megan.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25You are back in the pack for the next round.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28But, Gerard, you're going through to today's final.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40So, just one place left in today's final alongside Curtis and Gerard.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Let's see who it's going to be. Only five surviving now.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46If at any point we have only one player left,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49they will automatically win the round.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Here are your five multiple-choice questions, starting with...
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Four of you have gone for Tasmania.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Just Megan has gone for Queensland.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Let's reveal the right answer.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15It is Tasmania.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17A point to you four.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Megan, you're hoping you haven't given the impossible answer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21What do you reckon?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I'm not too sure. I don't think it is.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26I've got an auntie lives in Queensland
0:25:26 > 0:25:29and whenever you send her mail, it says QLD,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32but I've don't know whether that means it's a state or not.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Let's find out. Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38It's Ontario.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Ontario is a Canadian province.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43So, you escape.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Question number two.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Let's reveal the right answer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06It's A, Spandau Ballet.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08A point to you four.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Deb, you went for Dire Straits.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Do you think you've given the impossible answer?
0:26:15 > 0:26:16I hope not.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Something at the back of my mind is screaming at me
0:26:19 > 0:26:23that the Thompson Twins might have been male and female.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I don't know. I'm just hoping not.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:26:32 > 0:26:39It's Thompson Twins, who were three members but they were all unrelated.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41So you've escaped unscathed, Deb.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44The brothers in Spandau Ballet are Martin and Gary Kemp.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48The brothers in Dire Straits, Mark and David Knopfler.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51So, all five of you go on to question three.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Is it...?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Let's reveal the right answer.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16It's Leyden, meaning Richie and Anne get a point.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Deb, Jo and Megan...
0:27:19 > 0:27:22you're hoping that you've avoided the impossible answer.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's Appenzeller.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Which is a Swiss cheese.
0:27:34 > 0:27:40I'm sorry, Deb, Jo and Megan, you're out for today.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41We'll see you next time.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45That means it's a head-to-head.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47The head-to-head we've all been waiting for.
0:27:47 > 0:27:53Richie versus Anne, both on three points.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Question number four.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Is it...?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13You've both gone for Jupiter.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Let's reveal the right answer.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19It is A, Jupiter.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22A point to Anne and a point to Richie.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26We can't separate you going into the final question.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29The impossible answer there was...
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Earth. Holst didn't write a piece for Earth.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37The final question, question five.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58You haven't gone for the same answer.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08B, Botticelli.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Neither of you went for the impossible answer.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Whoever has given...
0:29:15 > 0:29:19the right answer will be the winner of this round
0:29:19 > 0:29:23and will have a chance to grab a place into today's final
0:29:23 > 0:29:25alongside Curtis and Gerard.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Richie, you must have been annoyed
0:29:26 > 0:29:29thinking the question was going to play into Anne's hands.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35OK.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Let's reveal the right answer.
0:29:41 > 0:29:47It's C, Michelangelo, which means a point to Richie.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Unlucky, Anne.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Richie, you are the winner,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53you have the chance to grab the last place in today's final.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59How are you doing after that, Richie?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02That was nerve-racking. You've no way of knowing, really,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04but I guessed nearly every question there.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Dutch cheeses and stuff, I was waiting for Edam coming out.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10When it didn't, just went for them, so I was very lucky.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12You are now in a position
0:30:12 > 0:30:15where you can add another £500 to today's prize pot,
0:30:15 > 0:30:18which already stands at £800,
0:30:18 > 0:30:23and be a step closer towards playing the £10,000 question.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Of the remaining topics, you've got musical theatre and politics.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Which would you like to go for?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Well, I know Andrew would go for the musical theatre,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36but it's not my cup of tea, so it'll have to be politics.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39I imagine if Andrew is watching at home,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41he'd love to see musical theatre.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- He would.- So politics it is.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50I'm going to reveal nine answers and they are...
0:31:06 > 0:31:08And the first half of the question...
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Five of those are impossible, they couldn't possibly be the answer
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- because they weren't Conservative Prime Ministers.- Right.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26Each impossible answer you eliminate will add £100 to today's prize pot.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Where would you like to start?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31I'm pretty sure Harold Macmillan was Labour,
0:31:31 > 0:31:33or that might have been Harold Wilson,
0:31:33 > 0:31:35but I think maybe they had two Harolds,
0:31:35 > 0:31:36so I'll go Harold Macmillan.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Is Harold Macmillan an impossible answer?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46I'm afraid not, he was a Conservative Prime Minister.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- It's not a great start, Richie. - No, it's not the best.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53OK, I'll try Clement Attlee. I'm pretty sure he was Labour.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Was Clement Attlee Labour?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Is Clement Attlee an impossible answer?
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Yes, he was Labour.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- We're in business.- Right. - £100 added to the prize pot.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12OK. I've never heard of Selwyn Lloyd in my life.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Sounds Welsh.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16I'll just go for him.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19You've never heard of him
0:32:19 > 0:32:23but you're hoping he was never a Conservative Prime Minister.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Is Selwyn Lloyd an impossible answer?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31He is.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Another £100 in the prize pot.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35He was Conservative
0:32:35 > 0:32:37but he was never Prime Minister or leader of the party.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I mean, I've heard of all these chaps.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- Good.- I think they all had the top job,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46but I just don't know which parties they were.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I'll go for Ramsay MacDonald.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Is Ramsay MacDonald an impossible answer?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58It is.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Much better now. £300 went into the prize pot.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Ramsay MacDonald was the first Labour Prime Minister.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07One more attempt to eliminate one more impossible answer.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Right. You might as well give me a dart that I can throw out that,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- because that's all I'm doing. - Yep, sure, yep.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13I'll go Stanley Baldwin.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Stanley Baldwin. Let's lock that in.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Is Stanley Baldwin an impossible answer?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I'm afraid not.
0:33:28 > 0:33:34So you've added £300 to the prize fund, which now stands at £1,100.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37But are you going to be playing for that money
0:33:37 > 0:33:40and the shot at the £10,000 question in today's final?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42You need to give me the right answer
0:33:42 > 0:33:45when I reveal the second half of the question.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Now remember, the next best player from that round,
0:33:48 > 0:33:49of course you remember this,
0:33:49 > 0:33:54was Anne and she is waiting to steal your place in the final
0:33:54 > 0:33:56if you give a wrong answer.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59There are two impossibles left up on the grid.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- If you give me either of those, you will be eliminated.- OK.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05The full question is...
0:34:14 > 0:34:16And I'm looking for the right answer.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19I was kind of hoping that would be the question,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21because I think it's Anthony Eden.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Want to lock in Anthony Eden?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Yes, please.- OK.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31Let's get that locked. If Anthony Eden is the right answer,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33you take your place in the final.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Is Anthony Eden the right answer?
0:34:40 > 0:34:41It is!
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Congratulations!
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Well done, Richie. You've grabbed the last place in today's final.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- Thank you.- The two impossibles that you missed were both liberals,
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Herbert Asquith and David Lloyd George.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Well done, though. You've grabbed the last place in today's final.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Thank you.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07For the rest of you, I'm afraid that today,
0:35:07 > 0:35:11victory proved impossible but we will see you next time.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16But for Kurtis, Gerard and Richie, it's time for the final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26So there is £1,100 in today's prize pot.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Only one of you can win that money
0:35:28 > 0:35:32and get the chance to face the £10,000 question.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35You're each going to start with ten lives.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Questions are on the buzzer.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Buzz and get one right and you knock a life off both of your opponents.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Buzz and get one wrong, you lose one of your own lives.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48However, some of the questions are impossible,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52that is to say there is no answer, the question makes no sense,
0:35:52 > 0:35:55it's illogical. If you think you've spotted one of these,
