0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello, I'm Rick Edwards, and this is !mpossible day 11.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10'Impossible!'
0:00:10 > 0:00:12APPLAUSE
0:00:12 > 0:00:14'Impossible!'
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Welcome to !mpossible, the quiz where the questions aren't impossible,
0:00:20 > 0:00:22but some of the answers always are.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25They're not just wrong, they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26For example, if I were to ask...
0:00:34 > 0:00:36The right answer is Kefalonia,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40the wrong answer is Corfu, but Capri isn't a Greek island at all,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43it's Italian. So 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 > 0:00:51- Hello, players. ALL:- Hello!
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Nice to see you all.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54They are with us throughout the series,
0:00:54 > 0:00:59competing not only for a daily prize pot of up to £1,500,...
0:00:59 > 0:01:00- AUDIENCE:- Oooh!
0:01:00 > 0:01:04..but also for a shot at the £10,000 question.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05- AUDIENCE:- Oooh!
0:01:05 > 0:01:11Yes, this exclamation mark is filled with 10,000 shimmering pound coins.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16At the end of every show, our winner faces one final question.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18And here it is.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Today's £10,000 question.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25Get this right, and all of that cash will come flooding out.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Elaine. You're new!
0:01:27 > 0:01:28I am, hello.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Tell us a bit about yourself, Elaine.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32What do you do when you're not on !mpossible?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'm a stay-at-home mum. I have four sons and a lovely,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37gorgeous husband who looks after me.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- How old are your sons?- 18, up to 29.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43OK. Still all living with you, or are they...?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Two are, one keeps coming back, and one I can't get rid of.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48LAUGHTER
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- Dan.- Hello.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- How are things? - Tricky at the minute,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53still waiting to get down and play a grid.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I really want you to get down and play a grid, Dan.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Yeah, maybe this will be my week.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- It could be, it could be a lucky week for you.- That's it.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01OK, well, good luck.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04But for now, let's crack on.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08You will face five multiple-choice questions, each with three answers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12The right answer scores you a point, the wrong answer scores you nothing.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15But if you choose the impossible answer...
0:02:16 > 0:02:18..it's a bit of a disaster,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22that immediately knocks you out of today's show and you have to try again
0:02:22 > 0:02:25tomorrow. After five questions,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29the highest scorer gets the first chance to bag a place in today's final,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and do answer as quickly as you can, because if there's a tie,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37whoever locked in their answers the fastest will qualify.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Are we ready? ALL:- Yes!
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Good luck, everyone.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Here's your first question.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Let's reveal the right answer.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's B, the Farrelly brothers,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08a point to everyone that went for the Farrellys.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Of course, the Chuckle Brothers are
0:03:15 > 0:03:20television personalities in the UK, they haven't made any films yet.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25So everyone progresses to question two.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Let's reveal the right answer.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49It's the Daily Mirror, B.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Well done if you went for that, a point to you.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03It is C, the Daily Telegraph, which is a broadsheet, which means,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Helen and Curtis, we're going to have to say goodbye,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08we'll see you tomorrow.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Question number three.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Let's first reveal the right answer.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31It's B, Cordelia.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Well done if you put Cordelia.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37A point to you. Jane, you went for Goneril.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Well, I did, because I'm pretty sure there is a character called Goneril
0:04:40 > 0:04:42in King Lear.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46That's why. And I'm hoping a daughter.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57It's Rosalind, which means it's a bloodbath.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59LAUGHTER
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Rosalind is a character in As You Like It.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Going to have to say goodbye to all of you, and see you tomorrow.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Let's go to question four.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Unfortunately, one of you didn't lock your answer in in time.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Bim, were you having a little snooze?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38It's official, I'm Miss !mpossible.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39LAUGHTER
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Like the show's mascot, Bim.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Exactly.- But I will see you tomorrow.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Thank you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52So we've got a full spread, all answers in there.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Let's reveal the right answer.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's A, What About Us,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02was number one in 2013.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05If you went for What About Us, you get a point.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15It's Drag Me Down, which is by One Direction.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Meaning, Deb and Anthony, that's it for today,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20we'll see you both tomorrow.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Just one person is on four points.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28And I don't want to take all the credit...
0:06:28 > 0:06:32LAUGHTER ..but I had a word with him, and it is Dan.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34CHEERING
0:06:34 > 0:06:35I've got you, buddy.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Now, just don't mess this up!
0:06:39 > 0:06:40LAUGHTER
0:06:42 > 0:06:44OK. Question five.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12It's Westminster Cathedral, which is a Catholic Church.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I'm afraid, Ray and Carol Marie, we we'll have to say goodbye to you
0:07:15 > 0:07:17now, and we'll see you tomorrow.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Let's reveal the right answer.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Congratulations, Dan.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Too busy getting kisses off the ladies.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Everyone gets a point.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Dan, you go up to five points and you have the
0:07:39 > 0:07:43chance to grab the first place in today's final.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Dan, everyone's delighted you've made it down.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'm delighted you've made it down.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56So you used to be a science teacher for ten years.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Yes.- What are you doing now?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I DJ and I do a bit of web design,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04and the other thing I've got going on is looking into grammar school
0:08:04 > 0:08:05entrance kind of tuition.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Having taught at a grammar school myself and had the benefit of that
0:08:08 > 0:08:10education, I think it's really important.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13And too many kids don't get the chance because they're priced out,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17so I'm looking to kind of do a bit pro bono for the guys from tough,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19socially deprived areas, like myself, you know,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23smart guys, get a chance and then they can go and build their own future.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24- Fantastic.- So going out...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26APPLAUSE
0:08:26 > 0:08:29..tutoring kids so they've got a better chance of getting into grammar schools and
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- getting a great education. - Yeah.- Really good.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34All right. So this is your chance, Dan,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38to put up to £500 into today's prize pot.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I'm going to give you a choice of four topics, we're hoping for science.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Let's see.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Books and Literature, Sport, Mythology, Television.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Not science per se.- Mm-hm.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'm going to go with Mythology.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Mythology.- Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01OK. I'm going to reveal nine answers.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03They are...
0:09:18 > 0:09:20And the first half of the question...
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Five of those answers are impossible because they are not from Greek
0:09:30 > 0:09:34mythology. Your first job is to find those impossible answers and banish
0:09:34 > 0:09:37them into oblivion.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Each impossible answer you manage to eliminate will add £100 to today's
0:09:41 > 0:09:43prize pot.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Where would you like to start?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'd like to go with Wyvern first.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49What do you think a wyvern is?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I think it's a dragon. I think it's from Welsh kind of mythology.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55OK.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Is it an impossible answer?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:03 > 0:10:07It's a winged dragon from medieval folklore.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Where do you want to go next?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Banshee.- Let's lock banshee in.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15What are you thinking about a banshee?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I'm pretty sure that's... I think it's Irish or Celtic, and
0:10:18 > 0:10:21it's a female kind of ghost.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25OK. Is banshee an impossible answer?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29APPLAUSE
0:10:29 > 0:10:32It is. £200 added to the prize pot.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36It's Celtic, and it's a female spirit.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39OK. Where next?
0:10:39 > 0:10:40I think berserker.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Just give me the full description of the berserker.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Actually, I don't know what it is, but it doesn't sound very Greek,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I've not head of it before, so on that rationale,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- that's why I'm going for it.- OK.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Is berserker an impossible answer?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58APPLAUSE
0:10:58 > 0:11:02It is. £300 in the prize pot now.
0:11:02 > 0:11:08A berserker is from Norse mythology, it's a Norse warrior.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Two more impossible answers to find.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I think it's Ma-kara, is that how you pronounce it?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Or Mak-ara.- Makara. Any idea on Makara?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Again, doesn't sound very Greek,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I'm looking at the other ones that I'm fairly sure on,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and it doesn't fit for me, so I'll go with it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27OK. Is Makara an impossible answer?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35APPLAUSE It is, £400 in the prize pot.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39It's half mammal, half fish, from Hindu mythology.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41One more impossible answer up there.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'm going to go with Syclla.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Let's lock in Syclla.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Is Syclla an impossible answer?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57It isn't.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Syclla is a beast from Greek mythology.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05You've still done very well, you've put £400 into the prize fund.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12And I'm now looking for the right answer.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Find it, and a place in the final is yours.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Give me a wrong answer, and the next-best player will have
0:12:18 > 0:12:21the chance to steal your place in the final.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I can reveal that it was,
0:12:25 > 0:12:30for the 15,000th time, Ash!
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I want a bridesmaid's outfit.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- We'll get you one for tomorrow. - Thank you.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37There is one impossible answer remaining.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43If that trips you up, sadly, you will be eliminated from today's show.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Let's reveal the full question.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'm pretty sure it's centaur.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59OK.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04If centaur is the right answer, you're through to today's final.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08If it's the wrong answer, Ash will have the chance to steal.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Is centaur the right answer?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Yes, it is! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Well done, Dan.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25That was... My heart was beating a bit there.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I thought you probably knew it.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I thought you probably knew it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31You did miss one impossible,
0:13:31 > 0:13:37that was leviathan, which is a sea serpent from the Old Testament.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Ah, that's Old Testament.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42But absolutely brilliantly, you've got through, after the pep talk,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44to take your place in the final. Well done, Dan.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Still two places left in today's final alongside Dan.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Let's find out who's going to be claiming the next one.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Same deal as before, five multiple-choice questions.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Here's your first question.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Let's reveal the right answer.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28It's C, Mrs White.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31A point to everyone that went for Mrs White.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Have the rest of you managed to avoid the impossible answer?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40It was B, Professor Green, who is a rapper.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Question number two.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Let's reveal the right answer.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01It is C, Washington.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04a point to everyone who put that.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08RICK LAUGHS
0:15:08 > 0:15:13I'm not speaking to you! I just, oh, bottled it again.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Really?- Yep. I know Omaha's not a state.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Oh, Annie.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- I'm not speaking to you no more. - All right, you don't have to.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I'll just tell you what the impossible answer was.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28It's B, Omaha.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Not a state, it's the largest city in Nebraska.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33We can talk about it tomorrow, Annie.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Also have to say goodbye to you as well, Paul.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Yeah.- See you tomorrow.- Cheers.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Question number three.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Let's reveal the right answer.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's Saint West, C.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04So, just three of you getting a point.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06For the rest of you, let's see if you've managed to avoid
0:16:06 > 0:16:09the impossible answer?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14You have. The impossible answer was South West.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18North West was born in 2013.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Moving on to question four.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Someone didn't lock their answer in, in time.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Kerry. What happened?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I thought I did. Obviously I did not.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Nope.- I do not have an explanation.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Do you know what you're going to get tomorrow?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Probably Olly Murs' album from my daughter!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- LAUGHTER - That's more likely than not.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03You're going to get an Olly Murs album from your daughter,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05and a pep talk from this guy.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Thank you.- OK?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10For now, we have to say goodbye.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11I'll see you tomorrow.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16We have all answers covered.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Let's reveal the right answer.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26So, four of you get a point.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Ash.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- What were you thinking about? - I actually acted in a play,
0:17:31 > 0:17:36where I played the ballerina strumpet to Nicholas II.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Was your performance any good?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I... I really was rocking a little tutu, definitely!
0:17:40 > 0:17:44OK. Well, let's see if you're going to have
0:17:44 > 0:17:46more time to reflect on your performance
0:17:46 > 0:17:48in that production,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and see if you've given an impossible answer.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Nicholas III. There was no such emperor.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- I'll just have a little think now.- Yes,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01you will have to have a little think.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Sarah, you might have to have a little think as well.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06We'll see you both tomorrow.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07- Craig?- I'm hanging on.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Middle worked.- I'm a trier.- You are. - I'm a trier.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14I just want to get to round three, and then I'll be happy.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18All right. So, after four questions,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21three of you are tied on three points.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26It may well be important who locks in their answers the fastest.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Question five.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55It's C, Goldeneye.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Elaine, you were tied in the lead.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Goldeneye was not based on an Ian Fleming book.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05The 1995 film was named after his house in Jamaica.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Oh.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'm sorry. We'll see you tomorrow.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14OK. Let's reveal the right answer.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19It is The Man With The Golden Gun.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22So, a point to all of you who went for that.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27I can tell you that both Gerard and Anne got that correct.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32It means that Gerard and Anne are tied on four points each.
0:19:32 > 0:19:38The fastest to lock in their answers across the round by a whisker...
0:19:40 > 0:19:41..was Gerard.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Congratulations, Gerard. APPLAUSE
0:19:44 > 0:19:48You have the chance to grab a place in today's final alongside Dan.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Hello, Gerard.- Hello, again.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- How are you?- I'm pretty good, pretty good.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05I'm feeling a bit bad about this whisker that was between myself and Anne.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07It would have been nice to have seen her down here, actually.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Yes, but, of course, Anne will have the chance to steal from you.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14And I think Anne will happily take that chance.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- I think... - LAUGHTER
0:20:16 > 0:20:20You've had one go already at the £10,000 question.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22You didn't win the £10,000.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- No.- Are you feeling good about today?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26I'm feeling positive.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30We're just going to have to wait and see how it goes.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35It all depends on what the subject of that secret question is.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40All right. You have the chance to add £500 to today's prize pot, which
0:20:40 > 0:20:44already stands at £400, thanks to Dan.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- Yes.- Of the three remaining topics,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50which are Books and Literature, Sport,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54and Television, which would you like to go for?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I'm going to try Television.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58OK.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Well, here are your nine answers.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21And the first half of your question...
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Five of those answers are impossible because they didn't win
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Strictly Come Dancing.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36You need to find those impossible answers and get rid of them.
0:21:36 > 0:21:43Each impossible answer you eliminate will add £100 to today's prize pot.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Where would you like to start?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I am going to start with one that sticks in my memory
0:21:49 > 0:21:53for his entertaining performance,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56but it wasn't exactly technically perfect,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59so he didn't win it, and that was John Sergeant.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03All right. Is John Sergeant an impossible answer?
0:22:06 > 0:22:07He is. APPLAUSE
0:22:07 > 0:22:11£100 added to the prize pot.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13He actually withdrew in series six.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21Next, I'm trying to wonder if she actually took part in it at all.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Because she presents the sort of companion programme to it on BBC Two.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I'm going to go for Zoe Ball.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Zoe Ball, let's lock her in.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Is Zoe Ball an impossible answer?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41She is. APPLAUSE
0:22:41 > 0:22:44She did take part, she came third in series three.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47But she does now present It Takes Two.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Now it gets harder.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51There were...
0:22:51 > 0:22:56lots of lovely, pretty young ladies,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58entertainers in it.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I'm looking at two of them there, Rachel and Denise.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05But I don't think Rachel would have won.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08OK. Is she an impossible answer?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16APPLAUSE She is, well done, Gerard, £300 added to the prize pot.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18It now stands at £700.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Rachel came second in series six.
0:23:21 > 0:23:27Oh, gosh. I apologise to Rachel for underestimating her performance.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31And there's always been one or two sportsmen in it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34So, I'm looking at the two sportsmen.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38So, I'd like to eliminate Matt Dawson, please.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40OK.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Is Matt Dawson an impossible answer?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48APPLAUSE
0:23:48 > 0:23:49- He is.- Right.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52He also did rather well in series four, came second.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54£400 added to the prize pot.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56It now stands at £800.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00One more impossible answer on the grid, let's see if we can eliminate it.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Now, this could be a famous last word that comes back to haunt me.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08But I think I'm OK now because I think the last one to get rid of is
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Denise Van Outen.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Yeah?- Yes, please.- Is Denise Van Outen...
0:24:16 > 0:24:17an impossible answer?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22She is!
0:24:22 > 0:24:23APPLAUSE
0:24:23 > 0:24:25£500 added to the prize pot.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Very well done, Gerard.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31She came joint second in series ten.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35So, the prize fund now stands at £900.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Let's see if you are going to be playing for that money,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42and for a shot at the £10,000 question in the final.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45When I reveal the second half of the question,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48you need to tell me the right answer.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Find it, you're in the final with Dan.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Give me a wrong answer,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57and the next best player, who is Anne, as you know,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01gets the chance to steal your place in the final.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03The full question is...
0:25:04 > 0:25:10Which celebrity winner of Strictly Come Dancing won the first series of
0:25:10 > 0:25:11the show?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Thank you, God!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16He's definitely watching.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18He's watching over me as well at the moment, I can tell you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- It was Natasha Kaplinsky. - You seem very confident in that.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Let's get that locked in.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Is Natasha Kaplinsky the right answer?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32It is!
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- Well done, Gerard. - Thank you.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Congratulations, take your place in the final.- Thank you!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43APPLAUSE
0:25:44 > 0:25:50So, just one place left in today's final alongside Dan and Gerard.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Let's see who it's going to be. Only six surviving now.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Here are your five multiple-choice questions, starting with...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Let's reveal the right answer.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's B, Harold.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20A point to all of you Harolds.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27A, William.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30There was no Saxon king called William.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32You've survived, Craig.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- I can't cope with this! - One down, four to go.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37CRAIG CHUCKLES
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Question two.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Everyone's gone for Battenberg.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Let's see if that's the right answer?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04It is. A point to everyone.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06The impossible answer, Craig?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Bratwurst?- Let's see.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Yes. It's a pork sausage.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Question number three.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Craig. You went for Kylo Ren.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41I did. Well, I know it's not Tyrion Lannister,
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- cos that is Game Of Thrones.- Ooh.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48That's bad news for Jane, potentially.
0:27:48 > 0:27:55And I've been very lucky because my career, I'm an actor and performer,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58and I was lucky enough to be in the film.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- So, if you got this wrong, Craig! - I'm going to be very, very stupid!
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Let's see. Let's reveal the right answer.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13It's A, Poe Dameron! LAUGHTER
0:28:16 > 0:28:21You were IN the film, Craig!
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I was a creature so I couldn't see very well.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27OK, fine, then. LAUGHTER
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Jo, the only one to get it right and get a point.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Wow!- Hooray!
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Now, Craig, you did think that Tyrion Lannister
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- maybe NOT in Star Wars...- Mm-hm.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45But famously you couldn't see very well, so he might have been. LAUGHTER
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52It is Tyrion Lannister.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55I'm afraid, Jane, that is a Game Of Thrones character.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- Sorry, grandkids. - We'll see you tomorrow.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Thank you.- Question number four.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Let's reveal the right answer.

0:29:38 > 0:29:43it's the largest city in Pakistan but Islamabad is the capital.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46I'm sorry, Tracy, we'll have to say goodbye to you now.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- We'll see you tomorrow.- OK.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Only four players left as we move on to the final question.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56And only one player has four points, and that is Craig...
0:29:56 > 0:29:58..of course it isn't! LAUGHTER
0:29:58 > 0:30:02And that is Jo. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Question number five.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38He wasn't a physicist, he was a writer.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40He wrote Madame Bovary.
0:30:40 > 0:30:46Jo and Craig, I'm sorry, we'll have to see you tomorrow.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Jo, so close.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It is what it is.
