0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello, I'm Rick Edwards, and this is !mpossible, day 14.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Welcome to !mpossible,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19the quiz where the questions aren't impossible,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22but some of the answers always are.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25They are not just wrong - they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:25 > 0:00:34For example, if I were to ask...
0:00:34 > 0:00:39..the right answer is Zayn Malik, the wrong answer is Liam Payne,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41but Ed Sheeran was never in One Direction,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43so that is the impossible answer.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hoping to get lots of right answers whilst dodging
0:00:46 > 0:00:49those pesky impossible answers are 30 players.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Hello, players! - Hello, Rick.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello. They are with us throughout the series,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58competing not only for a daily prize pot of up to £1,500...
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Whoo!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03..but also for a shot at the £10,000 question!
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Whoo!- This exclamation mark is filled
0:01:07 > 0:01:10with 10,000 shimmering pound coins.
0:01:10 > 0:01:16At the end of every show, our winner faces one final question.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20And here it is - today's £10,000 question.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26Get this right, and all of that cash will come flooding out.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Alan, yesterday, you came close...
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- It was close. - ..to that £10,000.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Wasn't my subject, let's be honest.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38So I made sure I had enough money to take me all the way to Butlins
0:01:38 > 0:01:39in November for the darts championships.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Oh, I love some darts, Alan.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47Anne, what kind of subject areas would you pick if you could?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Classical music. - Classical music.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53I've played in an amateur symphony orchestra for over 60 years.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Really? What do you play, Anne?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Viola. - And the same orchestra?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- The same orchestra.- I assume you're the longest-standing member.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- I am.- And I assume you're also the best musician.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05No, no, not that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Oh, OK.- I avoid making a loud noise in the wrong place.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yes, that's the thing in an orchestra, you can sort of hide,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- can't you?- Indeed.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16OK. Let's crack on.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20You'll face five multiple choice questions, each with three answers.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22The right answer scores you a point.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25The wrong answer scores you nothing.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28But if you choose the impossible answer,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30it's a bit of a disaster.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32That immediately knocks you out of today's show,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36and you'll have to try again tomorrow, which is the last day.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38After five questions, the highest scorer
0:02:38 > 0:02:41gets the first chance to bag a place in today's final.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Do answer as quickly as you can, because if there's a tie,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48whoever locked in their answers the fastest will qualify.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Good luck, everyone.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Are you ready? - Yes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Here's your first question.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Let's reveal the right answer.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19It's C, Juventus. A point to everyone who went for Juventus.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- Jane.- I don't know why, I thought there was an Ajax Milan,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26but I'm probably wrong.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Let's hope Lazio was a drink or something.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- OK. - Not a football club.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Let's hope that Lazio is a drink.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'm afraid it's A, Ajax.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42That's a Dutch team.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Lazio, not a drink yet, but maybe we can mix one up later, Jane.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Thank you! - We'll see you tomorrow.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Let's move on to question two.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Let's reveal the right answer.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It's A, Emma.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12So, the majority of you get a point.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14However... Bim.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Still smiling.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18If I don't smile, I'll cry!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Heard of any of those books?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Yes. I have actually heard of Emma and Northanger Abbey.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32OK. So you went with one that you'd heard of in the hope that it isn't
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- an impossible answer. - Yes.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Elliott.- To be honest, it was a bit of a guess.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41OK.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51It's B, Far From The Madding Crowd, which was written by Thomas Hardy,
0:04:51 > 0:04:52I'm afraid, Elliott.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Dan, Kerry, Elliott, we say goodbye to you.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56We'll see you tomorrow.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Question number three.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Let's reveal the right answer.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20It's 5ive.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21A point to all of you.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28- Ash.- I did have a millisecond of thinking, unusually for me,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31and realised that Steps maybe had girls in it, so...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34You think you've played it well and you're safe.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I'm hoping that Steps had some female singers.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Penny, directly behind you,
0:05:41 > 0:05:45is hoping that Steps did not have any female singers.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49No, I've never heard of B, 5ive, and
0:05:49 > 0:05:54I knew Boyzone, obviously, were boys, and, thinking about it,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Ash is absolutely right.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58There are females in Steps, so,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00bye!
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11I'm afraid Steps was the impossible answer, which means,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Penny and Anne, we're going to have to lose you.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17We will see you tomorrow.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Question number four.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Let's reveal the right answer.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It's Aer Lingus, and the majority of you get a point.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Craig. Are we about to lose you?
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I'm pretty sure that Ryanair is an Irish airline.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Pretty sure. - Bim.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Well, I've only taken Ryanair, I've never been on Aer Lingus, so...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Let's hope you haven't given the impossible answer, which was...
0:07:04 > 0:07:10..Loganair, which is a Scottish airline, meaning Craig and Bim,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13you avoided it successfully. Well done.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Question number five.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Let's reveal the right answer.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40It's Caroline of Brunswick.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42A point to all of you.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Guy.- I was just trying to think of a queen with a bent nose, and I just
0:07:47 > 0:07:51couldn't think of anyone, so I went for the middle one.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55LAUGHTER
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I like the way your mind works, Guy.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Doesn't necessarily give the right answer.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- No. - But it makes me smile.- Thank you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Vinessa. You went for Sophie of Wurttemberg.- Mm.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Sophie's a nice name, so...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm afraid it's C, Sophie of Wurttemberg.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25She was not a British queen, she was a queen of the Netherlands, meaning,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Vinessa, Simon and Elaine...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31..we'll have to say goodbye to you.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32We'll see you tomorrow.
0:08:34 > 0:08:41So, at the end of that round, four of you got a maximum five points.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Linda, Megan, Alan and Kurtis,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49all on five points,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53but the quickest to lock in their answers across the round...
0:08:55 > 0:08:57..was Alan. APPLAUSE
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Congratulations, Alan.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03You're on a bit of a streak.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06You have the first chance to grab a place in today's final.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Alan. - Hey, Rick.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14You're on a bit of a roll, here.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Yes, I liked it so much down here yesterday...
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Thought, "Why not come down again?"
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Why not horrendously guess lots of questions and get it right?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25So, this, as you know, is your chance to put up to £500
0:09:25 > 0:09:28into today's prize pot, and crucially,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31take a massive step towards playing the £10,000 question.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I'm going to give you a choice of four topics.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40They are Books, Famous People, Art, and Film.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- It's nice to be up here and have the first choice.- Mm-hm.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I mean, I'd do sell books and I read a lot of books,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48but the classics usually escape me.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- OK. - Art, to me, is comics,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52and it's probably not going to be Marvel characters.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Don't think so. - Erm, I think...
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I've really always been a big film fan, so I'll go for Film.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01OK. I'm going to reveal nine answers.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18And the first half of the question...
0:10:18 > 0:10:25Which actor in the 2016 film Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice...?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27You do know I run a comic shop, right?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I do. It feels like...
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- ..that's worked for you, pretty nicely.- It's fate, finally.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Five of those answers are impossible
0:10:36 > 0:10:39because they are not in Batman v Superman.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Each impossible answer you manage to eliminate will add £100
0:10:43 > 0:10:46to today's prize pot. Where would you like to start?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I think we can probably rattle through these.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49We'll probably rattle through it quite well.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Let's start with...
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Matt Damon. - Let's lock Matt Damon in.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Is Matt Damon an impossible answer?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Yes, it is. £100 to the prize pot. APPLAUSE
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Who shall we knock out next?- So we'll have Silver Linings Playbook,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07and The A Team, Bradley Cooper.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Let's lock in Bradley Cooper.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Is Bradley Cooper an impossible answer?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Yes, he is. APPLAUSE
0:11:17 > 0:11:19£200 into the prize pot.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Who next?- We'll have the voice of Groot in Guardians Of The Galaxy
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and Triple X, Vin Diesel.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Vin Diesel. I like the fact you're showing off, Alan.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29- I am Groot. - It's good.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Is Vin Diesel an impossible answer?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Yes, it is. APPLAUSE
0:11:40 > 0:11:42£300 in the prize pot.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Another Marvel boy, the Incredible Hulk himself and Fight Club,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Edward Norton.- Is Edward Norton an impossible answer?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56He is. APPLAUSE
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Not the current Incredible Hulk, that is...
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Eric Bana. Gagging for this.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Get rid of the last one, will you?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Finally, we'll just go for the one film, Alfie, the remake, Jude Law.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Is Jude Law an impossible answer?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15He is. APPLAUSE
0:12:15 > 0:12:18With some ease, put £500 into today's prize pot.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Crossed finger.- Are you going to be playing for that money and a shot at
0:12:21 > 0:12:24the £10,000 question in today's final?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'm about to reveal the second half of the question.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I'm now looking for the right answer.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Give that to me, and a place in the final is yours.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Give a wrong answer...
0:12:34 > 0:12:36First of all, I'll pick myself up off the floor,
0:12:36 > 0:12:41and then I will pass over the chance to the next best player
0:12:41 > 0:12:46in that round. And I can reveal that was Kurtis.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Won't hold my breath. - So, Kurtis is waiting to steal,
0:12:51 > 0:12:52but not that eagerly.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Let's reveal the full question.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Which actor in the 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice...
0:13:01 > 0:13:04..plays the role of Lex Luthor?
0:13:04 > 0:13:09From lots of things, Jesse Eisenberg.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Is Jesse Eisenberg the right answer?
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Of course it is. APPLAUSE
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Of course it is. Not getting that wrong.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Just...just for fun, Alan, go on, do the others.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Henry Cavill was Superman, Ben Affleck, Batman,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Jeremy Irons was Alfred Pennyworth, the butler.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Absolutely right. Take your place in the final.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Thank you. APPLAUSE
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Still two places left in today's final alongside Alan.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Let's find out who's going to be taking the next one.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Here's your first question.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Let's reveal the right answer.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06It's C, Porridge. A point to all of you.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12- Chris.- In my mind, any of them could have been impossible, so...
0:14:12 > 0:14:13I just hit any button.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Bim? - Well, I've heard of The Good Life.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I wasn't around here in the 1970s.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Let's hope you've avoided the impossible answer.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29You have. The impossible answer was On The Buses.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31That was an ITV sitcom.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34So you escape, Bim and Chris.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Moving on to question number two.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Let's reveal the right answer.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01It's A, ugli fruit.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Everyone who went for ugli fruit gets a point.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Ash.- I thought, well, I've eaten a papaya and it's not a citrus fruit.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12So you are saying that you think ten people might have given
0:15:12 > 0:15:13the impossible answer?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Yeah, sounds very unlikely now that you come to say it like that.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Maybe I'm the one that's wrong.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Well, let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It's C, papaya.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Papaya is not a citrus fruit.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34You remembered that correctly, Ash.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37We lose ten of you in one go.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38See you all tomorrow.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Not even halfway through Round Two,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47and we're down to eight players.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Question number three.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Let's reveal the right answer.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09C, Katy Perry.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Points to Ash, Craig and Helen.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Sarah.- I'm fairly sure Nelly Furtado's Canadian,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18so fingers crossed.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21OK. Let's find out. Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Nelly Furtado is Canadian. You're right, Sarah.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29You survive and move on to question four.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Well, let's reveal the right answer.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's C, Agamemnon.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57You were the only person to get that right, Ash.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- You get a point.- Wow.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:17:07 > 0:17:13It's B, Aeneas, who was a Trojan warrior, not a Greek warrior.
0:17:13 > 0:17:20That means five of you, Kurtis, Chris, Sarah, Parin, and Annie,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23we have to say goodbye to you, and we'll see you tomorrow.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29So the three surviving players - Ash, Craig and Helen -
0:17:29 > 0:17:32are all tied on three points.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34How on earth has this happened?!
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Your...
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I don't think your odds are
0:17:37 > 0:17:39ever going to get better than this, Craig.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Question number five.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04All gone for a different answer.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Ash?- Yes, I just thought the question was the other way round.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Craig. Anything you'd like to add?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13No.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Helen?- I did a bit of thinking on this because I watched the trailer
0:18:19 > 0:18:23for the new film and I feel like I remember one of the girls had
0:18:23 > 0:18:26a really stupid name, and I thought it might be Tatty.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29So... they might change that, cos it's weird.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It's more than the others have offered.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38Let's first reveal the impossible answer, and lose one of you.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Oh!
0:18:42 > 0:18:45It's C, Nancy.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Nancy was an Amazon, not a Swallow.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Oh, well.- I'm sorry, Craig.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Always tomorrow, eh? - We'll see you then.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00Whoever has given the right answer will come down and play the grid.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Let's reveal the right answer.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08It's A, Tatty.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Well done, Helen. Tatty, in the original film and books,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14was called Titty, so congratulations,
0:19:14 > 0:19:18you have the chance to grab a place in today's final alongside Alan.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20APPLAUSE
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Helen, you must be feeling pretty good to have just survived a round
0:19:29 > 0:19:32that only one other person survived.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33That was tough.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37But you've emerged unscathed, and ready to play another grid.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Yeah, love the grids.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41You do love the grids, Helen.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46You have the chance to add another £500 to today's prize pot,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49which already stands at £500, thanks to Alan.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52You can also take a huge step towards playing
0:19:52 > 0:19:54the £10,000 question.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Of the three remaining topics, which do you fancy?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I'm going to go for Books.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04OK, Books. Going to reveal nine answers.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21And the first half of the question...
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Which detective, created by Agatha Christie...?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I was hoping for some Harry Potter.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34You know? But I can work with it, I think.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36OK, I'm glad you can work with it.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38We know that five answers are impossible because they aren't
0:20:38 > 0:20:42characters created by Agatha Christie.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46For each one you get rid of, you add £100 to the prize pot.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Where would you like to start?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Let's take out Sherlock Holmes.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Is Sherlock Holmes an impossible answer?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58It is. APPLAUSE
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Of course, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Who next?- This is where it gets a bit tricky.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I definitely know a few that are Agatha Christie,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11but I don't recognise the other names, so...
0:21:15 > 0:21:16I'll go Father Brown.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20And why are you going for Father Brown?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Would a Father be a detective on the side?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Maybe too busy with the spiritual work.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Yeah. I mean, he should be. - Yeah.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34But let's see. Is Father Brown an impossible answer?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40It is. APPLAUSE
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Father Brown does do a bit of detective work on the side,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45but he was created by G K Chesterton.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Oh. OK.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Hmm.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I'll go Jane Tennison.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55So, Jane Tennison.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Much more of a guess, really.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Is Jane Tennison an impossible answer?
0:22:05 > 0:22:06It is. APPLAUSE
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Jane Tennison was created by Lynda La Plante.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11She's in Prime Suspect.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Let's go Tuppence Besford.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Can't say it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Any thoughts on Tuppence Beresford?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24It's an odd name, but just stood out to me.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Might as well choose it.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30It is an odd name, but is it an impossible answer?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Tuppence Beresford WAS created by Agatha Christie.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40One more answer, please, Helen.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42OK. Philip Marlowe.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Thinking?- Yeah.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48This name actually seemed familiar to me, and I didn't know if that was
0:22:48 > 0:22:52because it is a famous Agatha Christie character or because it's
0:22:52 > 0:22:53a character in something else,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56so I kind of just wants to rule it out one way or another,
0:22:56 > 0:22:57because that will hopefully help me.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59OK.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Is Philip Marlowe an impossible answer?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08It is. APPLAUSE
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Philip Marlowe was created by Raymond Chandler.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Let's see if you're going to be playing for that money and a shot at
0:23:16 > 0:23:20the £10,000 question in today's final.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23When I reveal the second half of the question, I want you to tell me
0:23:23 > 0:23:27the right answer. Find it, you're in the final with Alan.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Give me a wrong answer, and the next best player, who was Ash,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34gets the chance to steal your place in the final.
0:23:35 > 0:23:41There is still one impossible left up there on the grid.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44If you give me that, you will be eliminated.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48The full question is...
0:23:49 > 0:23:55Which detective created by Agatha Christie has a crime-solving partner
0:23:55 > 0:23:56called Tommy?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02I didn't really know a lot of them had, like, sidekicks.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I mean, there is... There's three, now, that I know are correct.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I'm going to guess Poirot.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20As far as I know, he worked alone, but I have no real idea.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Is Hercule Poirot the right answer?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34It's not, Helen, I'm sorry. That is a wrong answer.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Meaning that Ash, we throw to you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40So...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I'm going to guess Tuppence Beresford.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Is Tuppence Beresford the right answer?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It is! APPLAUSE
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Sorry, Helen.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Your place in the final has been nabbed by Ash.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- Sorry!- The impossible that you missed was Lord Peter Wimsey,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13who was a Dorothy L Sayers creation.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16APPLAUSE Congratulations, Ash.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Please take your place in the final alongside Alan.
0:25:25 > 0:25:31So, just one place left in today's final alongside Alan and Ash,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34and Helen, as the last player standing who hasn't given an
0:25:34 > 0:25:38impossible answer, you start this round on your own.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41All you have to do to play another grid
0:25:41 > 0:25:44is to get a single question right.
0:25:44 > 0:25:50However, if you give an impossible answer, everyone is back in.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Are you ready?- Sure!
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Here's your first question.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14How do you feel?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18I've heard of Cannon and Ball, so that's what I pressed.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28It's Peters and Lee, so you avoided that.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Peters and Lee were a singing duo.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36If Cannon and Ball is the right answer,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39you'll be going straight through to play another grid.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Let's reveal the right answer.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50It's Cannon and Ball! APPLAUSE
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Yeah!
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Congratulations, Helen.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58You have another chance to grab a place in the final
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- alongside Alan and Ash. - So many grids!
0:27:07 > 0:27:11So, Helen, after a gripping Round Three,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14here we are. Exactly the same as before -
0:27:14 > 0:27:19you can add another £500 to today's prize pot which already stands at
0:27:19 > 0:27:23£900, and also be a step closer towards playing
0:27:23 > 0:27:25the £10,000 question.
0:27:26 > 0:27:34Of the remaining topics, Art and Famous People,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36which would you like to go for?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Let's go Art.- You did do two years of art history.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Yeah. I was listening for some of it, so maybe.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47OK. Your nine answers are...
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Cool. Yeah.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10The first half of the question is...
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Which painting by Rembrandt...?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- OK. - Five of them are impossible
0:28:18 > 0:28:21because they aren't paintings by Rembrandt.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Where would you like to start?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Let's say Girl With A Pearl Earring.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Any idea who that's by?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- That's a Vermeer.- OK.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Is Girl With A Pearl Earring an impossible answer?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39It is. £100 added to the prize pot. APPLAUSE
0:28:39 > 0:28:41As you say, it's a painting by Vermeer.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45OK. The Potato Eaters.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Who's that by? - I think it might be a van Gogh.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Yeah, I think it is.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Or something around that time.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Or possibly not, but I'm pretty sure it's not a Rembrandt, so...
0:28:56 > 0:28:57- Hey-ho.- Hey-ho.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Is The Potato Eaters an impossible answer?
0:29:03 > 0:29:05APPLAUSE It is van Gogh.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Nice.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Three more impossible answers remain on the grid.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Let's do The Return Of The Prodigal Son.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Does it sound like a Rembrandt?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I'm not sure. I mean...
0:29:16 > 0:29:22Prodigal son story - don't remember many religious works by him.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27Let's see if you've picked an impossible answer.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Unfortunately not. That is a painting by Rembrandt.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33The Laughing Cavalier.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Who do you think that's by?- I've done all the ones I'm sure of, so...
0:29:39 > 0:29:40OK.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Is The Laughing Cavalier an impossible answer?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- It is!- Yay! - APPLAUSE
0:29:50 > 0:29:52That is by Frans Hals.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55One more answer from you, please, Helen.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58I'll go Olympia.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Is Olympia an impossible answer?
0:30:06 > 0:30:07It is! APPLAUSE
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Olympia is by Manet.
0:30:10 > 0:30:18£400 added to the prize pot which now stands at £1,300.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22But will you be playing for that money and a shot at
0:30:22 > 0:30:25the £10,000 question in today's final?
0:30:25 > 0:30:32The last player to be eliminated was Craig...
0:30:32 > 0:30:36- (You'll be fine.)- ..who is waiting to steal your place in the final.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Craig.- Mm-hm. - This is your big chance.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42My only chance, I fear.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44It might be your only chance, Craig.
0:30:45 > 0:30:51So, Helen, there is one impossible answer left on the grid.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55If you give that, you will be eliminated from today's show.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58The full question is...
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Which painting by Rembrandt
0:31:03 > 0:31:07can be seen at the National Gallery in London?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Oh.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13I was actually there recently.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17There's one that really...
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Like, I really recognise the name,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21I think it's a really famous painting that could definitely
0:31:21 > 0:31:24be there, but maybe it's someone else's really famous painting.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I'm going to go for The Blue Boy.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Is The Blue Boy the right answer?
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Oh!
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Oh! - It isn't the right answer.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51You've just knocked yourself out of today's show.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Somebody has got to take your place in the final,
0:31:56 > 0:32:01and we're going to start by throwing the question to Craig.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04I know nothing about art.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07You do surprise me, Craig(!)
0:32:07 > 0:32:09However,
0:32:09 > 0:32:15there was one other answer that just kind of was jumping at me,
0:32:15 > 0:32:17and that's The Night Watch.
0:32:17 > 0:32:22OK. Is The Night Watch the right answer?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- Oh. - No.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30But it is by Rembrandt.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31I knew that.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36I imagine you know that it's currently hanging at the Rijksmuseum
0:32:36 > 0:32:37- in Amsterdam.- Yeah.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44The next best player, way back in Round Two,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- was Sarah.- No!
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Yes.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I'm going to go Belsh... I can't say it.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Belshazzar's Feast.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Would you like to lock in Belshazzar's Feast?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05No, actually, I'm going to go for Bathsheba At Her Bath.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08I'm going to... I'm going to kick myself when it's the wrong answer.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11No, I'm going to go for Bathsheba At Her Bath.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13OK.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Is Bathsheba At Her Bath the right answer?
0:33:24 > 0:33:28No. It's in the Louvre in Paris, Sarah.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31The next best player...
0:33:34 > 0:33:35..was Parin.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43So I've been to the National Gallery,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46and I've seen the Rembrandt portraits there.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49I've taken a picture of one and I've taken a picture of the detail,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52as well, but I haven't got the foggiest what it was.
0:33:54 > 0:34:00But if...if this answer is what I'm thinking, it's Belshazzar's Feast.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Is Belshazzar's Feast the right answer?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12It is! APPLAUSE
0:34:16 > 0:34:17Congratulations, Parin.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Come and take your place in the final alongside Ash and Alan.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Sorry! So sorry!
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- Very cruel for you, Sarah.- I've...
0:34:27 > 0:34:30I've just been saying that you should always go with
0:34:30 > 0:34:31your first instinct, stick with it.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- And that's why!- Oh, Sarah.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Never mind!
0:34:34 > 0:34:38For the rest of you, I'm afraid that victory, today, proved impossible.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41We'll see you tomorrow for our last day.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44But for Alan, Ash, and Parin, it's time for the final.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47APPLAUSE
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Alan, Ash and Parin, we got there in the end.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58There's £1,300 in today's prize pot.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Only one of you can win that money,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04and get the chance to face the £10,000 question.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Now, Alan, you won a final yesterday, you got through to
0:35:08 > 0:35:12the £10,000 question, you managed to hold on to £1,200, but
0:35:12 > 0:35:16you didn't get to release the money from the massive exclamation mark.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18I'm hoping, but I've got to get there first.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22You have to get there first. Ash, you've been in a final before,
0:35:22 > 0:35:24didn't get through to the £10,000 question.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Parin, first time in a final.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Yeah.- Out of nowhere.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33I still can't believe it.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36You will each start with ten lives.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Questions are on the buzzer.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Buzz and get one right, you knock a life off both your opponents.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Buzz and get one wrong, you lose one of your own lives.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49However, some of the questions are impossible,
0:35:49 > 0:35:53which is to say there is no answer, the question is illogical,
0:35:53 > 0:35:57it makes no sense, it's preposterous. For example,
0:35:57 > 0:36:01for which film did Alan Rickman receive his first Oscar nomination?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Alan Rickman never received an Oscar nomination,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07so that is an impossible question.
