Hello, I'm Rick Edwards and this is !mpossible - day two.

0:00:020:00:05

APPLAUSE

0:00:100:00:13

Welcome to !mpossible, the quiz with the third dimension.

0:00:150:00:18

Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,

0:00:180:00:21

but here we also have impossible answers.

0:00:210:00:24

For example, if I were to ask...

0:00:240:00:26

The right answer is 20,

0:00:320:00:34

the wrong answer is 17,

0:00:340:00:36

but there is no number 23 on a dartboard,

0:00:360:00:39

so that is the impossible answer to a question starting,

0:00:390:00:43

"Which number on a dartboard..."

0:00:430:00:45

Hoping to get lots of right answers

0:00:450:00:46

whilst dodging those pesky impossible answers are 30 players.

0:00:460:00:50

-Hello, players. ALL:

-Hi, Rick.

0:00:500:00:53

They are very well behaved

0:00:530:00:54

and they'll be with us throughout the series, competing, not only

0:00:540:00:57

for a daily prize pot of up to £1,500...

0:00:570:01:00

Ooh!

0:01:000:01:02

..but also for a shot at the £10,000 question.

0:01:020:01:06

Ooh!

0:01:060:01:08

Keep whooping because this exclamation mark

0:01:080:01:11

is filled with 10,000

0:01:110:01:14

shimmering gold pound coins.

0:01:140:01:16

At the end of every show, our winner faces one final question

0:01:160:01:21

and here it is - today's £10,000 question.

0:01:210:01:25

Get this right and all of that cash will come flooding out.

0:01:250:01:30

-Diane, you came so close yesterday...

-I know.

0:01:300:01:34

..to seeing the money cascade.

0:01:340:01:36

-Yep.

-But you still won £1,400.

-That's great. Yeah. Happy with that.

0:01:360:01:39

-Have you spent it yet?

-No, thinking about it.

0:01:390:01:42

But not quite yet.

0:01:420:01:43

Craig, how is it down on the front row?

0:01:430:01:45

It's great. The best place to be, I think.

0:01:450:01:48

-Oh, really?

-What do the rest of you think of that?

0:01:480:01:50

-Boo!

-Oh, no, no, no.

0:01:500:01:53

We'll be getting to know all of our lovely players

0:01:530:01:56

as the series progresses, but, for now, let's crack on.

0:01:560:01:59

You'll face five multiple choice questions each with three answers.

0:01:590:02:03

The right answer scores you a point,

0:02:030:02:05

the wrong answer scores you nothing,

0:02:050:02:08

but if you choose the impossible answer...

0:02:080:02:10

'Impossible.'

0:02:100:02:11

Ooh, that will immediately knock you out of today's show

0:02:110:02:15

and you'll have to try again tomorrow.

0:02:150:02:17

After five questions, the highest scorer

0:02:170:02:20

gets the first chance to bag a place in today's final.

0:02:200:02:23

Do answer as quickly as you can because if there's a tie,

0:02:230:02:26

whoever has locked in their answers the fastest will qualify.

0:02:260:02:30

Good luck, everyone. Here's your first question.

0:02:300:02:32

Wow, you have all gone B.

0:02:460:02:50

I'm kind of hoping that B is the right answer.

0:02:510:02:54

THEY LAUGH

0:02:540:02:56

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:02:560:02:57

-It is B, Coco.

-Hooray!

0:02:590:03:00

A point to everyone.

0:03:000:03:02

OK, let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:03:020:03:03

Charlie. Charlie not a Chanel perfume.

0:03:070:03:10

-Any idea?

-Revlon.

-Revlon!

0:03:100:03:13

Revlon is right.

0:03:130:03:14

Named after the founder, Charles Revson.

0:03:140:03:16

OK, everyone's on a point.

0:03:160:03:18

Question two.

0:03:180:03:19

17 of you think it's C, monkey,

0:03:370:03:40

11 of you think it's B, rooster,

0:03:400:03:42

and a couple of you think that it's A, lion.

0:03:420:03:46

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:03:460:03:48

It's C, monkey.

0:03:500:03:51

Well done everyone who put that.

0:03:510:03:52

A point to you. Now...

0:03:520:03:55

this means that some of you at least have given the impossible answer.

0:03:550:03:59

Helen, are you a keen student of the Chinese Zodiac?

0:04:000:04:04

Oh, I thought I was but no.

0:04:040:04:07

I know there isn't a lion in it,

0:04:080:04:10

but... Yeah.

0:04:100:04:12

-You think there isn't a lion.

-I don't think there's a lion.

0:04:120:04:15

Ray sitting next to you thinks maybe there is a lion.

0:04:150:04:18

Random guess.

0:04:200:04:21

Definitely not a lion.

0:04:210:04:23

-Goodbye.

-Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:04:230:04:27

'Impossible.'

0:04:270:04:29

Sorry...

0:04:290:04:31

So I'm afraid we'll have to say goodbye to you today

0:04:310:04:34

and also to Dan,

0:04:340:04:35

but we will see you tomorrow.

0:04:350:04:37

Question number three.

0:04:370:04:39

For the second time,

0:04:520:04:54

all of you have gone with B.

0:04:540:04:57

All 28 of you.

0:04:570:04:59

So, for the second time, fingers crossed.

0:04:590:05:01

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:05:020:05:04

It is B, van Gogh,

0:05:050:05:07

so you all get a point.

0:05:070:05:09

Let's reveal the impossible answer as well.

0:05:090:05:11

C, Van Persie.

0:05:140:05:17

He's a footballer.

0:05:170:05:18

Question number four.

0:05:190:05:20

Answers locked in.

0:05:360:05:37

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:05:390:05:41

It is A, Tropic of Capricorn, so 24 of you get another point.

0:05:440:05:49

Unfortunately, two of you

0:05:490:05:50

are going to be eliminated at this stage

0:05:500:05:53

because you have given the impossible answer.

0:05:530:05:55

-Craig.

-Antarctic Circle, I know that's definitely on the globe.

0:05:560:06:00

LAUGHTER Yes, good start. Yes.

0:06:000:06:03

Kerry sitting next to you has gone with B.

0:06:030:06:05

The Prime Meridian.

0:06:060:06:07

You don't look happy, Kerry.

0:06:090:06:11

Just shaking your head quietly to yourself.

0:06:110:06:14

I've just got no idea why I did that.

0:06:140:06:16

I don't have an answer for you.

0:06:180:06:21

Well, you do, and unfortunately it was B, Prime Meridian.

0:06:210:06:23

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:06:240:06:28

'Impossible.'

0:06:280:06:30

It was B, Prime Meridian.

0:06:300:06:32

It is a line of longitude.

0:06:320:06:34

Kerry and Bim, I'm afraid...

0:06:340:06:38

you're eliminated.

0:06:380:06:39

We'll see you tomorrow.

0:06:390:06:40

Oh...

0:06:400:06:41

So, after those four questions, 13 of you are on four points.

0:06:410:06:46

It's very likely this is going to come down to who gets their answers

0:06:460:06:50

locked in the quickest.

0:06:500:06:51

Let's move on to our final question, question five. Good luck.

0:06:510:06:54

So we've got a full house.

0:07:090:07:11

That means we are going to lose quite a few people at this stage.

0:07:110:07:15

Let's reveal the impossible answer first.

0:07:150:07:19

'Impossible.'

0:07:190:07:21

It was C, Damian.

0:07:210:07:23

That means ten of you are eliminated.

0:07:230:07:25

THEY GASP

0:07:250:07:26

I'm sorry, Damien is the local priest, not a son.

0:07:260:07:31

I'm sorry. We'll see you all tomorrow though.

0:07:310:07:34

Sarah, you went with a different answer,

0:07:340:07:38

you went with Trevor.

0:07:380:07:40

Are you a fan of the show?

0:07:400:07:41

I'm not a fan but I have seen it.

0:07:410:07:43

And I could just hear her saying, "Trevor."

0:07:440:07:47

Do you know what?

0:07:480:07:50

Not a bad impression, Sarah.

0:07:500:07:52

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:07:520:07:55

It is A, Trevor.

0:07:570:07:59

So that's a point to everyone who got that right.

0:07:590:08:02

The wrong answer is Mark.

0:08:020:08:04

He's the oldest son.

0:08:040:08:06

So, after that question, we've whittled it down

0:08:060:08:09

to just two people with five points.

0:08:090:08:13

Those two people are Diane and Jo.

0:08:130:08:18

-Wow.

-Ooh!

0:08:180:08:19

APPLAUSE

0:08:190:08:21

I can tell you that the quickest to lock in their answers was...

0:08:230:08:29

Diane. Congratulations,

0:08:290:08:31

you have the first chance to win a place in today's final.

0:08:310:08:34

Come and join me again, Diane.

0:08:340:08:36

-Here we are, Diane.

-Yeah.

0:08:380:08:40

-In our places.

-Definitely.

0:08:400:08:42

Yesterday, obviously, you won £1,400.

0:08:420:08:45

If you get through to our endgame,

0:08:450:08:47

-have another crack at the £10,000 question, potentially...

-I know.

0:08:470:08:52

Remind me what you'd spend the money on.

0:08:520:08:54

Probably going over to Russia,

0:08:540:08:55

maybe going to the Hermitage in St Petersburg

0:08:550:08:57

-to look at the galleries - I'd love that.

-Uh-huh.

0:08:570:09:00

So once again, Diane,

0:09:000:09:01

this is your chance to put up to £500 into today's prize pot

0:09:010:09:06

and, crucially, take a massive step

0:09:060:09:08

towards playing the £10,000 question.

0:09:080:09:11

I'm going to give you a choice of four topics. Here they are.

0:09:110:09:15

Famous People, Geography, Film and Sport.

0:09:150:09:19

Which would you like to go for?

0:09:200:09:22

-I'll try Sport, please.

-You'll try Sport. OK.

0:09:230:09:26

So here's how it works.

0:09:260:09:27

I'm going to reveal nine answers...

0:09:270:09:30

And we're going to see the first half of a question.

0:09:420:09:45

Which first-class cricket county...?

0:09:460:09:49

Five of those answers are impossible,

0:09:510:09:54

that is they couldn't possibly be the answer

0:09:540:09:56

to a question beginning like that

0:09:560:09:58

because they are not first-class cricket counties.

0:09:580:10:02

Your first job is to find those impossible answers,

0:10:020:10:05

-get rid of them.

-Yeah.

0:10:050:10:07

You'll have five guesses and each impossible answer

0:10:070:10:09

you manage to eliminate will add £100 to today's prize pot.

0:10:090:10:13

-OK.

-Where shall we start?

0:10:130:10:15

We'll start with Cumbria, please.

0:10:170:10:18

-You a cricket fan, by the way?

-Yeah.

0:10:200:10:22

Ah!

0:10:220:10:23

-Yeah.

-I thought I saw a little glint in your eye.

0:10:230:10:25

-Yeah.

-OK, Cumbria.

0:10:250:10:27

Let's lock it in. And is Cumbria an impossible answer?

0:10:270:10:31

Yes, it is. £100 in the prize pot.

0:10:360:10:39

So maybe we'll just rattle through these, Diane.

0:10:390:10:41

-Well, I'll give it a go.

-Next guess.

0:10:410:10:42

-Er, Devon, please.

-Is Devon an impossible answer?

0:10:420:10:47

Yes, it is. £200.

0:10:500:10:51

-Where next?

-Norfolk.

0:10:520:10:55

Norfolk. Is Norfolk an impossible answer?

0:10:550:10:57

It is. £300 in the prize pot.

0:11:000:11:03

-Fourth guess, please.

-Next one is Cheshire, please.

0:11:040:11:07

Is Cheshire an impossible answer?

0:11:070:11:10

£400 in the prize pot.

0:11:130:11:16

Let's see if we can get the maximum £500 in there

0:11:160:11:19

with your fifth guess.

0:11:190:11:21

And I'm going to go for Staffordshire, please.

0:11:210:11:25

-Staffordshire.

-Yeah.

0:11:250:11:27

Is Staffordshire an impossible answer?

0:11:270:11:31

It is. The full five from five,

0:11:340:11:37

£500 in today's prize pot.

0:11:370:11:40

But will you be playing for that money

0:11:400:11:43

and another shot at the £10,000 question in today's final?

0:11:430:11:47

In the moment I'm going to reveal the second half of the question

0:11:470:11:50

and I'm now looking for the right answer.

0:11:500:11:52

-Yeah.

-Find it and a place in the final is yours.

0:11:520:11:54

Give a wrong answer and the next best player

0:11:540:11:58

will have the chance to steal your place in the final.

0:11:580:12:02

As you know, it was your back row mate, Jo.

0:12:020:12:05

So, Jo, standby to steal.

0:12:050:12:09

Let's reveal the full question.

0:12:090:12:11

Which first-class cricket county has its home ground at Grace Road?

0:12:130:12:19

-I've been there.

-Have you?

0:12:220:12:24

Yeah. Yeah.

0:12:240:12:27

That is Leicestershire.

0:12:270:12:28

Lock in Leicestershire.

0:12:280:12:30

This for a place in today's final.

0:12:310:12:34

Is Leicestershire the right answer?

0:12:340:12:37

It is! APPLAUSE

0:12:400:12:42

Congratulations, Diane.

0:12:420:12:43

-Your second time in the final.

-Thank you.

0:12:430:12:46

The pack has halved, we're down to 15.

0:12:490:12:51

The odds are getting better.

0:12:510:12:53

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Here's your first question.

0:12:530:12:55

So we've got a full spread.

0:13:130:13:14

Let's first reveal the right answer.

0:13:140:13:16

It's July 31,

0:13:180:13:20

so if you put C, you get a point.

0:13:200:13:23

Just five of you.

0:13:230:13:24

That means some of you...

0:13:240:13:26

..are going to be eliminated

0:13:270:13:29

at this early stage in this round, I'm afraid,

0:13:290:13:31

because you have given an impossible answer.

0:13:310:13:33

Jane, you've gone for May 31st.

0:13:330:13:35

Well, there is a May 31st but there's not a June the 31st -

0:13:350:13:38

-that's why I have done it.

-Ah.

0:13:380:13:41

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:13:410:13:44

'Impossible.'

0:13:440:13:45

It is B, June 31st.

0:13:450:13:47

June only has 30 days, as Jane rightly pointed out.

0:13:470:13:50

Craig, what happened? I had high hopes for you today.

0:13:500:13:53

Well, you know, it was bound to happen so I've got to go.

0:13:530:13:56

But we will see you again tomorrow.

0:13:560:13:58

Let's move on to question two.

0:13:580:14:00

So let's reveal the right answer first.

0:14:130:14:15

It is C, Bishop. Well done.

0:14:170:14:19

A point to everyone who put that.

0:14:190:14:21

Now, Annie, you went for rook.

0:14:230:14:26

Hoping it's not impossible.

0:14:260:14:28

I'm sure it's not. I've never played chess in my life

0:14:280:14:30

but I know there's no dukes,

0:14:300:14:32

so I'm quietly confident that I'll scrape through that one.

0:14:320:14:34

Let's have a look at what the impossible answer is.

0:14:340:14:37

It is A, Duke. As you said, Annie,

0:14:390:14:41

there is no duke piece in chess.

0:14:410:14:43

Moving on to question three.

0:14:430:14:45

Everybody has gone for B, Angela Merkel.

0:15:010:15:05

Let's hope it's the right answer.

0:15:050:15:06

Is it?

0:15:060:15:08

Yes, it, that is.

0:15:080:15:09

Well done, everyone. A point to all of you.

0:15:090:15:11

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:15:110:15:13

It is C, Miranda Kerr.

0:15:160:15:17

She is an Australian model, was married to Orlando Bloom.

0:15:170:15:20

OK, moving on to question four.

0:15:200:15:22

So we've got a full house.

0:15:350:15:37

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:15:370:15:39

It is Strictly Ballroom.

0:15:400:15:42

Just four of you getting that right.

0:15:420:15:44

Congratulations, you all get a point.

0:15:440:15:47

That means that some of you are going to be eliminated at this stage

0:15:470:15:51

because you have given an impossible answer.

0:15:510:15:54

-Penny.

-Hello.

0:15:540:15:55

Are you a fan of the works of Baz Luhrmann?

0:15:560:15:59

Well, I've heard of him.

0:15:590:16:01

-Good start.

-But I can't say that I know which films he directs

0:16:010:16:05

and Moulin Rouge just sounds like it ought to have a red curtain.

0:16:050:16:08

Jane, you went for Flashdance.

0:16:080:16:12

I haven't got a clue but I think Moulin Rouge is a very,

0:16:120:16:15

very old film and that's the only reason I've gone for Flashdance.

0:16:150:16:18

But I don't know anything about Red Curtain trilogy.

0:16:180:16:21

OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:16:210:16:25

'Impossible.'

0:16:270:16:28

Sorry, Jane.

0:16:300:16:31

-Never mind.

-I'm afraid Flashdance is not a Baz Luhrmann film,

0:16:310:16:35

whereas Moulin Rouge is,

0:16:350:16:37

but it was the third film in his Red Curtain trilogy.

0:16:370:16:42

So, Jane and Anne,

0:16:420:16:43

I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you today,

0:16:430:16:45

but we will see you again tomorrow.

0:16:450:16:47

So, after four questions, two people have four points,

0:16:470:16:52

they are Megan and Andrew.

0:16:520:16:55

Yes!

0:16:550:16:57

So it may well come down to how quickly you lock your answers in.

0:16:570:17:02

Question number five, the final question in this round.

0:17:020:17:04

So, frontrunners Megan and Andrew...

0:17:210:17:23

..you've both gone with A, Sea of Tranquillity.

0:17:240:17:27

Let's reveal first of all the impossible answer.

0:17:280:17:33

'Impossible.'

0:17:330:17:35

It's A, Sea of Tranquillity.

0:17:350:17:38

So, Megan and Andrew, who were in the lead,

0:17:380:17:40

have both knocked themselves out,

0:17:400:17:42

as has Richard.

0:17:420:17:43

The Sea of Tranquillity, I'm afraid,

0:17:430:17:46

is not a body of water and is on the moon.

0:17:460:17:48

So that really changes everything.

0:17:500:17:52

So, Richard, Megan and Andrew,

0:17:520:17:54

it's goodbye for now but we will see you again tomorrow.

0:17:540:17:56

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:17:580:18:00

It's Sargasso Sea.

0:18:010:18:04

So if you put that, you get a point.

0:18:040:18:07

So that has shaken things up.

0:18:070:18:08

We now have four people on four points.

0:18:080:18:12

They are Jo, Annie,

0:18:130:18:16

Ash and Helen.

0:18:160:18:19

The quickest to lock in their answers, though, was...

0:18:200:18:25

Helen. Congratulations, Helen.

0:18:250:18:30

You have the chance to grab a place in today's final alongside Diane.

0:18:300:18:33

-Well done, Helen. Here we are.

-Thank you.

-How are you feeling?

0:18:350:18:38

-Good.

-And what do you do?

0:18:380:18:40

I just graduated uni, so I don't do anything.

0:18:400:18:43

-Ah.

-It's very nice.

-The classic graduate!

0:18:430:18:46

-Yes.

-What was your degree in?

0:18:460:18:47

-History.

-OK.

0:18:470:18:49

What would you spend the money on?

0:18:490:18:51

Well, it's my dream to do a rollercoaster tour of North America,

0:18:510:18:56

so I want a lot of money so I can go all the way around,

0:18:560:18:59

do all the best theme parks and the biggest rides.

0:18:590:19:02

So you literally mean rollercoaster tour?

0:19:020:19:04

-I meant a rollercoaster tour.

-I thought you just meant ups and downs

0:19:040:19:07

-and... Yeah.

-No, I mean riding.

0:19:070:19:09

-Theme parks.

-Riding theme parks, yes.

0:19:090:19:10

OK. Let's get down to the serious business. You have the chance to add

0:19:100:19:15

another £500 to today's prize pot, which already stands at £500,

0:19:150:19:20

thanks to Diane. You can also take a huge step

0:19:200:19:23

towards playing the £10,000 question.

0:19:230:19:27

Of the three remaining topics, Famous People, Geography and Film...

0:19:270:19:31

..which takes your fancy?

0:19:330:19:34

-I'm going to go Film.

-OK, Film.

0:19:340:19:36

So here are your nine answers.

0:19:360:19:39

And the first half of the question is...

0:19:530:19:56

Which film starring Brad Pitt...?

0:19:560:20:00

I think you quite liked the reveal.

0:20:000:20:02

I did. I like a lot of these movies.

0:20:020:20:05

OK. How many of them have you seen?

0:20:050:20:07

I've seen most of them. I haven't seen Babel or Adaptation.

0:20:070:20:11

OK. Five of those answers are impossible,

0:20:110:20:14

they couldn't possibly be the answer to a question beginning like that,

0:20:140:20:17

because they are not Brad Pitt films.

0:20:170:20:19

So you need to find those impossible answers and get rid of them.

0:20:190:20:22

Each impossible answer that you eliminate

0:20:220:20:25

will add £100 to today's prize pot.

0:20:250:20:28

You've got five guesses.

0:20:280:20:29

-Where shall we start?

-Erm... I'm going to go with Invictus.

0:20:290:20:34

Invictus. Let's get Invictus locked in.

0:20:340:20:36

Is Invictus an impossible answer?

0:20:360:20:38

It is.

0:20:410:20:42

Invictus, Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman.

0:20:440:20:47

-OK, where next?

-Silver Linings Playbook.

0:20:470:20:50

Silver Linings Playbook. Let's get that locked in.

0:20:500:20:53

Is Silver Linings Playbook an impossible answer?

0:20:530:20:56

It is.

0:20:590:21:00

Spot on. It was Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.

0:21:010:21:05

-Third guess.

-This is getting a bit tricky for me.

0:21:050:21:08

Erm... I'm going to go Babel.

0:21:090:21:12

OK, let's get Babel locked in.

0:21:130:21:15

Is Babel an impossible answer?

0:21:160:21:19

I'm afraid not.

0:21:220:21:23

Brad Pitt is in Babel.

0:21:230:21:25

Still, two more guesses.

0:21:260:21:28

Erm...

0:21:280:21:30

I'll go Three Kings.

0:21:300:21:32

Three Kings. Get Three Kings locked in.

0:21:320:21:34

-Have you seen Three Kings?

-No.

0:21:370:21:39

Is Three Kings an impossible answer?

0:21:390:21:41

It is.

0:21:440:21:46

He is not one of the Three Kings.

0:21:460:21:47

-Excellent!

-That was George Clooney, amongst others.

0:21:470:21:51

OK.

0:21:510:21:53

Final guess. £300 you have added to the prize pot,

0:21:530:21:56

let's see if we can make it 400.

0:21:560:21:58

I'll go Adaptation.

0:21:580:22:00

Adaptation. Let's see if Adaptation is an impossible answer.

0:22:000:22:05

It is.

0:22:070:22:08

Well done. £400 added to the prize pot, it now stands at £900.

0:22:100:22:15

Now we're going to see if you'll be playing for that money

0:22:150:22:18

and for a shot at the £10,000 question in today's final.

0:22:180:22:21

When I reveal the second half of the question,

0:22:210:22:24

you need to tell me the right answer.

0:22:240:22:26

If you find it, you're in the final with Diane.

0:22:260:22:29

If you give me a wrong answer, the next best player, who was Ash,

0:22:290:22:34

will get a chance to steal your place in the final.

0:22:340:22:38

There is one impossible left.

0:22:380:22:41

If you give me that answer, I'm afraid you will be eliminated today.

0:22:410:22:45

The full question is...

0:22:470:22:49

..which film starring Brad Pitt

0:22:500:22:52

also features Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom?

0:22:520:22:56

-OK. This is one of my favourite films.

-Ah!

-Yes.

0:22:580:23:01

It's Troy.

0:23:010:23:03

Is it the right answer?

0:23:030:23:04

It is. Congratulations. APPLAUSE

0:23:070:23:09

£900 in the prize pot.

0:23:120:23:14

Just to clear things up, the other impossible answer was Walk The Line,

0:23:140:23:21

starring Joaquin Phoenix.

0:23:210:23:23

Congratulations, Helen.

0:23:230:23:25

Go and take your place alongside Diane in today's final.

0:23:250:23:28

So just one place left in today's final alongside Diane and Helen.

0:23:320:23:36

Let's see who it's going to be.

0:23:360:23:38

Only seven of you surviving now.

0:23:380:23:41

Here are your five multiple-choice questions, starting with...

0:23:410:23:44

All seven of you

0:23:570:23:59

have gone for pashmina.

0:23:590:24:01

Let's see if it's the right answer.

0:24:010:24:03

It is. A point to all of you. Well done.

0:24:040:24:07

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:24:070:24:09

Wrasse. Wrasse is a fish.

0:24:120:24:15

Moving on to question two.

0:24:150:24:17

So let's reveal the right answer.

0:24:360:24:38

It's B, Richard II.

0:24:410:24:44

The only person who got that was Ash, who gets a point.

0:24:440:24:47

Penny.

0:24:470:24:49

How's your Shakespeare?

0:24:490:24:50

Do you know? My partner loves Shakespeare

0:24:500:24:53

and we go every year to a Shakespeare Festival.

0:24:530:24:57

I'm fairly sure I've seen Richard III.

0:24:570:24:59

We'll find out. Annie.

0:24:590:25:01

You went out on your own with Richard I.

0:25:020:25:05

Well, I did Macbeth at school, so it was a pure guess,

0:25:050:25:08

and I'm convinced I've gone now.

0:25:080:25:10

Let's find out.

0:25:100:25:11

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:25:110:25:14

'Impossible.'

0:25:140:25:16

I'm afraid it is Richard I.

0:25:160:25:18

It's not a Shakespeare play. I'm sorry, Annie.

0:25:180:25:21

You're eliminated today but we will see you again tomorrow.

0:25:210:25:24

-OK.

-The rest of you, let's move on to question three.

0:25:240:25:27

So we've got two Zeldas and four Laras.

0:25:440:25:47

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:25:470:25:49

It's Lara Croft, B.

0:25:510:25:53

A point to everyone who put that.

0:25:530:25:55

Jo and Ash, you both put Zelda.

0:25:550:26:00

OK, let's see if you've given the impossible answer.

0:26:000:26:02

No, the impossible answer was Kirby - that is a male character.

0:26:050:26:09

Zelda is a female character.

0:26:090:26:10

You've clung on in there.

0:26:100:26:12

Question number four.

0:26:120:26:13

So we have five Graeme Gardens and one Tim Brooke-Taylor.

0:26:280:26:33

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:26:330:26:35

It was C, Graeme Garden.

0:26:370:26:39

A point to all of you who put that.

0:26:390:26:41

Tracy.

0:26:410:26:42

-Never mind.

-We're hoping

0:26:450:26:46

that Tim Brooke-Taylor was in The Goodies, I suppose.

0:26:460:26:49

I think so.

0:26:490:26:50

Whereas Eric Idle's Monty Python, I think.

0:26:500:26:53

OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:26:530:26:55

It is Eric Idle.

0:26:580:26:59

As you say, Eric Idle was a member of Monty Python.

0:26:590:27:02

Going into our final question.

0:27:020:27:04

Four of you have got three points -

0:27:040:27:07

they are Penny, Sarah, Richie and Ash.

0:27:070:27:12

So get those fingers working quickly.

0:27:120:27:14

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:27:300:27:31

It is Nero.

0:27:330:27:34

So that's a point to everyone who got that right.

0:27:340:27:37

Let's have a look at what the impossible answer was.

0:27:370:27:40

Pericles, not a Roman emperor,

0:27:420:27:44

he was an Athenian statesman.

0:27:440:27:47

That means this will come down

0:27:470:27:49

to who was fastest to lock in their answers.

0:27:490:27:53

The quickest to lock in their answers was Penny!

0:27:530:27:57

APPLAUSE

0:27:570:27:59

Congratulations, Penny.

0:27:590:28:01

You have a chance to grab a place in the final alongside Helen and Diane.

0:28:010:28:06

What a difference a day makes, Penny.

0:28:110:28:13

-Oh, God, yes.

-Yesterday, knocked out on the first question...

0:28:130:28:16

After sheer muppetry yesterday.

0:28:160:28:19

And then today nearly in the final.

0:28:190:28:21

-Yes.

-Who is going to be watching you at home?

0:28:210:28:23

-My wife.

-Uh-huh.

0:28:230:28:24

-Yep.

-Is she a keen quizzer?

0:28:240:28:26

Er...

0:28:260:28:28

She's...

0:28:280:28:29

She was born in Italy, so some questions,

0:28:290:28:32

like the sort of basic TV and stuff she doesn't get,

0:28:320:28:35

but her history is exceptional

0:28:350:28:37

and she always thrashes me if there's something history.

0:28:370:28:40

What would you spend the money on?

0:28:400:28:42

Well, I'd like to get my HGV licence.

0:28:420:28:44

There's a little theme running there.

0:28:440:28:46

-Right.

-In my 20s, I got my car licence.

0:28:460:28:49

In my 30s, I got my motorbike licence.

0:28:490:28:51

In my 40s, I got my pilot's licence,

0:28:510:28:54

so I'd look like to get my HGV licence

0:28:540:28:57

and it costs a fair amount of money to go up through the classes.

0:28:570:29:01

You have the chance now to add another £500 to today's prize pot,

0:29:010:29:06

which already stands at £900 thanks to Diane and Helen.

0:29:060:29:09

You'll also be a step closer towards playing the £10,000 question.

0:29:090:29:14

Of the remaining two topics, which do you want to go for?

0:29:140:29:17

Famous People or Geography?

0:29:170:29:19

I really do not like the look of Famous People,

0:29:190:29:22

so it will have to be Geography

0:29:220:29:24

and I hope it's a bit of the world I know.

0:29:240:29:26

I hope so, too. Your nine answers are...

0:29:260:29:29

And the first half of the question is,

0:29:450:29:48

in which former Yugoslav Republic...?

0:29:480:29:52

Part of the world you know?

0:29:530:29:54

-Horrendous!

-Horrendous! SHE LAUGHS

0:29:540:29:56

-OK.

-Five of those are impossible,

0:29:590:30:03

they couldn't possibly be the answer to a question starting like that.

0:30:030:30:08

You need to find those impossible answers.

0:30:080:30:11

So which of those are not former Yugoslav Republics?

0:30:130:30:17

I'll start by taking out Albania.

0:30:170:30:20

OK, so Albania locked-in.

0:30:200:30:22

Let's see if Albania is an impossible answer.

0:30:230:30:27

It is, £100 in the prize pot.

0:30:300:30:33

Not a horrendous start, Penny.

0:30:330:30:34

OK, second answer. Let's try and knock out another impossible.

0:30:360:30:39

Latvia.

0:30:390:30:40

Latvia, let's lock in Latvia.

0:30:410:30:43

Is Latvia an impossible answer?

0:30:440:30:47

It is.

0:30:500:30:51

In the Baltics, ex-USSR.

0:30:530:30:56

Right.

0:30:560:30:57

-OK.

-We'll make it a middle line clearance, we'll have Armenia out.

0:30:570:31:02

Let's see, is Armenia an impossible answer?

0:31:020:31:05

It is! Three from three, £300 added to the prize pot.

0:31:080:31:12

It now stands at £1,200, Penny.

0:31:120:31:14

Two more goes.

0:31:150:31:17

Let's see if we can eliminate the remaining two impossible answers.

0:31:170:31:20

-Where do you want to go next?

-Now it gets really tricky.

0:31:200:31:24

They always link Serbia and Montenegro together

0:31:240:31:26

when they make a speech,

0:31:260:31:28

so I'll try and take out Montenegro

0:31:280:31:30

and then maybe, if that one's wrong, Serbia... Yeah, Montenegro.

0:31:300:31:35

OK, is Montenegro an impossible answer?

0:31:350:31:40

I'm afraid it isn't, it is a former Yugoslav Republic.

0:31:430:31:47

One guess remaining.

0:31:470:31:48

Let's see if we can put another £100 into the prize pot.

0:31:480:31:51

Let's go for Moldova.

0:31:510:31:52

Moldova, let's lock in Moldova.

0:31:530:31:56

Is Moldova...

0:31:560:31:57

..an impossible answer?

0:31:590:32:01

It is! Well done, Penny, you've added £400 to today's prize fund,

0:32:040:32:09

which now stands at £1,300.

0:32:090:32:11

The question now is will you be playing for that money

0:32:110:32:13

and for a shot at a £10,000 question in today's final?

0:32:130:32:18

Please give me the right answer when I reveal the whole question.

0:32:180:32:22

The next best player from that round, who was Ash...

0:32:220:32:26

God, always the bridesmaid, never the bride!

0:32:260:32:29

Our bridesmaid Ash is waiting to steal your place in the final

0:32:290:32:33

if you give a wrong answer.

0:32:330:32:35

There is one impossible left up on the grid.

0:32:350:32:39

Hopefully that won't trip you up.

0:32:390:32:40

If you give me that, I'm afraid you will be eliminated.

0:32:400:32:43

The full question is...

0:32:440:32:46

In which former Yugoslav Republic is the city of Sarajevo?

0:32:460:32:52

I honestly have not got the foggiest idea.

0:32:520:32:56

Erm...

0:32:560:32:58

I'm just going to pick Serbia, I don't know.

0:32:580:33:03

Going to pick Serbia.

0:33:030:33:05

Let's get Serbia locked in.

0:33:050:33:07

Is Serbia the right answer?

0:33:070:33:09

I'm afraid it isn't, Penny.

0:33:130:33:15

That's a wrong answer,

0:33:150:33:17

that means that we're going to throw it over to Ash.

0:33:170:33:20

Ash, if you get this right, you steal Penny's place in the final.

0:33:210:33:26

If you don't...

0:33:270:33:28

..Penny has a lucky escape and she goes through.

0:33:290:33:32

I'm going to go...

0:33:320:33:33

..with Bosnia-Herzegovina.

0:33:340:33:36

Is Bosnia and Herzegovina the right answer?

0:33:360:33:40

It is.

0:33:420:33:43

Congratulations, Ash.

0:33:450:33:47

And, just to clear up the grid, the impossible answer was Slovakia,

0:33:470:33:51

which was one half of Czechoslovakia.

0:33:510:33:54

Unlucky, Penny.

0:33:540:33:55

We will see you again tomorrow. Ash, please join us for the final.

0:33:550:33:58

APPLAUSE

0:33:580:34:00

So, Diane, Helen and Ash, there's £1,300 in today's prize pot.

0:34:030:34:08

Only one of you can win that money

0:34:080:34:10

and get the chance to face the £10,000 question.

0:34:100:34:14

What do you do, Ash?

0:34:140:34:15

-I'm a musician, basically.

-OK.

0:34:150:34:18

Yeah, I sing and play guitar and stuff like that.

0:34:180:34:21

-What kind of stuff?

-Mostly acoustic stuff, so sort of folky stuff.

0:34:210:34:25

And if you won

0:34:250:34:27

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

0:34:270:34:30

I really want to do an expedition along the silk route,

0:34:300:34:33

an overland expedition, so that would go into the expedition fund.

0:34:330:34:37

OK, the three of you are going to start with ten lives.

0:34:370:34:42

Questions are on the buzzer, most of them are normal,

0:34:420:34:44

straightforward questions with normal, straightforward answers.

0:34:440:34:47

Buzz and get one right, you knock a life off both of your opponents.

0:34:470:34:51

Buzz and get one wrong, you lose one of your own lives.

0:34:510:34:55

However, some of the questions are impossible,

0:34:550:34:58

that is to say there is no answer, the question's absurd,

0:34:580:35:01

it's a nonsense.

0:35:010:35:03

For example, which Thomas Hardy novel features

0:35:030:35:06

an eccentric recluse called Miss Havisham?

0:35:060:35:09

Miss Havisham is a character in Great Expectations

0:35:090:35:12

by Charles Dickens, it's not a Thomas Hardy novel at all,

0:35:120:35:14

so that would be an impossible question.

0:35:140:35:17

If you think you've spotted one of these,

0:35:170:35:19

all you have to do is buzz in and say impossible,

0:35:190:35:22

and that means double trouble for your opponents

0:35:220:35:25

because they will both lose two lives.

0:35:250:35:28

But if you say a question is impossible when it's not,

0:35:280:35:31

or give any other answer to an impossible question,

0:35:310:35:34

it's you who will be losing the two lives,

0:35:340:35:36

so you need to tread carefully.

0:35:360:35:39

The last surviving player takes the £1,300.

0:35:390:35:43

-Ready?

-Yes.

0:35:430:35:45

Good luck to you all.

0:35:450:35:46

In March 2014,

0:35:470:35:49

Gwyneth Paltrow announced that she and who

0:35:490:35:51

were to conscious...?

0:35:510:35:52

-Diane?

-Chris Martin.

0:35:520:35:54

To consciously uncouple, it was Chris Martin.

0:35:540:35:56

Which US state is named after one of the Channel Islands?

0:35:590:36:03

-Helen.

-Virginia?

0:36:030:36:05

I'm afraid not, it's New Jersey.

0:36:050:36:07

In 2015, Wayne Rooney scored his 50th goal for England,

0:36:100:36:15

overtaking whose record?

0:36:150:36:17

-Diane.

-Bobby Charlton.

0:36:170:36:19

It was Bobby Charlton.

0:36:190:36:20

Which London art gallery is home to Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa?

0:36:230:36:29

Ash. Impossible.

0:36:290:36:31

It is impossible, it's in the Louvre in Paris.

0:36:310:36:33

'Impossible.'

0:36:330:36:36

In the 1960s children's animation Trumpton,

0:36:360:36:40

what is the profession of the character Chippy Minton?

0:36:400:36:43

-Diane.

-A carpenter.

0:36:440:36:46

He was a carpenter.

0:36:460:36:47

What number on the Mercalli scale denotes a hurricane?

0:36:500:36:53

-Diane.

-Impossible.

0:36:550:36:56

It is impossible.

0:36:570:36:59

The Mercalli scale measures the intensity of an earthquake.

0:36:590:37:02

The Beaufort scale is for wind velocity,

0:37:020:37:04

so both Helen and Ash lose two lives.

0:37:040:37:07

'Impossible.'

0:37:070:37:09

The eruption of which volcano destroyed

0:37:090:37:11

the town of Pompeii in 7...?

0:37:110:37:13

-Helen.

-Vesuvius.

0:37:130:37:14

In 79 AD.

0:37:140:37:16

It was Vesuvius, well played.

0:37:160:37:18

Who wrote the novel Lady Chatterley's Lover?

0:37:200:37:23

Diane.

0:37:230:37:24

-DH Lawrence.

-It was DH Lawrence.

0:37:240:37:27

Take Helen down to one life.

0:37:270:37:29

Which composer's 94th Symphony is nicknamed the Surprise Symphony?

0:37:290:37:34

-Diane.

-Impossible.

0:37:340:37:35

It's not impossible, it was Joseph Haydn.

0:37:370:37:40

That means you lose two lives.

0:37:400:37:42

So close now, Diane on five, Ash on three, Helen on one.

0:37:420:37:46

In which decade of the 20th century did the Rolling Stones

0:37:470:37:51

have their first UK number one single?

0:37:510:37:54

-Ash.

-The 1960s.

0:37:540:37:56

It was the 1960s. It was 1964 with It's All Over Now.

0:37:560:38:00

Meaning, I'm afraid, Helen, you're eliminated.

0:38:010:38:04

Commiserations.

0:38:040:38:06

Diane and Ash, it's very tight.

0:38:060:38:08

Diane, you're on four. Ash, you're on three.

0:38:080:38:10

What type of poultry is traditionally used

0:38:110:38:15

to make rollmops?

0:38:150:38:17

-Ash.

-Impossible.

0:38:170:38:19

It is impossible.

0:38:190:38:21

They're traditionally made with pickled herring.

0:38:210:38:23

Diane, you lose two lives, taking you down to two.

0:38:230:38:25

Ash now ahead on three.

0:38:250:38:28

Who co-starred with Susan Sarandon as one of the title...?

0:38:280:38:32

-Diane.

-Geena Davis.

0:38:320:38:34

As one of the title characters in the 1991 film Thelma And Louise,

0:38:340:38:38

it was Geena Davis.

0:38:380:38:40

Two lives apiece now.

0:38:420:38:45

When spelling the word psychology,

0:38:450:38:47

which letter comes immediately before the S?

0:38:470:38:50

-Ash.

-Impossible.

0:38:520:38:53

It's not impossible, Ash, it's P.

0:38:540:38:57

I'm so sorry! SHE LAUGHS

0:38:570:39:00

It's P-S-Y.

0:39:000:39:01

-Yes, clearly.

-We will see you tomorrow, though.

0:39:010:39:05

Diane, once again, you are through to play the £10,000 question!

0:39:050:39:09

Diane, you've done it again, you're today's winner with £1,300.

0:39:130:39:17

The sad news is you will be leaving us after today's show

0:39:170:39:21

because this is your second attempt at the £10,000 question,

0:39:210:39:25

-and we're going to try and get you to Russia and the museums.

-Yes.

0:39:250:39:29

Here's how it works. I'm going to show you nine answers

0:39:290:39:33

and then ask a question.

0:39:330:39:35

Three of the nine answers are correct

0:39:350:39:37

and if you can find them all within ten seconds you win that £10,000.

0:39:370:39:43

There's the good news.

0:39:440:39:46

The not-so-good news is that three of the answers

0:39:460:39:48

are wrong - pick any of those and you won't win the £10,000.

0:39:480:39:53

The bad news is three of the nine answers are impossible -

0:39:540:39:58

give me any of those answers and you will lose the £1,300.

0:39:580:40:04

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

0:40:040:40:07

Here it is.

0:40:070:40:08

Today's £10,000 question.

0:40:080:40:11

Hope it's a good one for you.

0:40:110:40:13

It is on Pop Music.

0:40:150:40:17

-OK.

-Good luck.

0:40:170:40:19

Here are your nine answers.

0:40:200:40:21

And you're looking for...

0:40:390:40:41

Michael Jackson songs that appear on the album Thriller.

0:40:430:40:48

And your time starts now.

0:40:480:40:50

Billie Jean, Beat It,

0:40:520:40:54

Man In The Mirror.

0:40:540:40:55

So your first answer was Billie Jean.

0:41:010:41:04

Is Billie Jean a right answer? Was Billie Jean on the album Thriller?

0:41:060:41:11

Yes!

0:41:120:41:14

-One down.

-One down.

-One down.

0:41:150:41:17

One down. Two to go.

0:41:170:41:19

Is Beat It on Michael Jackson's Thriller?

0:41:210:41:25

Yes!

0:41:310:41:32

-We've been here before, Diane.

-We have, yeah. Yeah.

0:41:350:41:38

Two right answers. Now all resting on your final answer,

0:41:400:41:45

Man In The Mirror. If Man In The Mirror is on the album Thriller...

0:41:450:41:49

..you will be going home with £10,000.

0:41:510:41:54

Is Man In The Mirror...

0:41:540:41:56

..a right answer?

0:41:570:41:58

Oh, Diane!

0:42:040:42:07

-I'm afraid it isn't.

-OK.

0:42:070:42:10

-You've still won the £1,300, though, that's some consolation.

-It is.

0:42:100:42:15

You've been an amazing player. We've loved having you on the show.

0:42:150:42:18

You have now had two attempts at the £10,000,

0:42:180:42:21

so we do have to say goodbye.

0:42:210:42:23

The right answer that you missed...

0:42:230:42:25

I don't know if with a bit more time you can get it.

0:42:250:42:28

Black Or White, I think. It was either or, so...

0:42:280:42:32

It's actually not Black Or White, it's Human Nature.

0:42:320:42:34

Makes me feel better then, that's fine!

0:42:340:42:36

-Good, I'm glad you feel better!

-That's fine!

-Human Nature.

0:42:360:42:39

The impossible answers, All Night Long is Lionel Richie,

0:42:390:42:43

Being With You is Smokey Robinson, and When Doves Cry is Prince.

0:42:430:42:47

You've won £1,300, Diane.

0:42:470:42:49

Add that to yesterday's winnings and it makes a grand total of £2,700.

0:42:490:42:53

You've been a fantastic player, we've loved having you,

0:42:530:42:55

-and I'm confident you are still going to get to Russia.

-Thank you.

0:42:550:42:58

APPLAUSE

0:42:580:43:00

This has been !mpossible, the quiz where anything is possible.

0:43:010:43:04

Goodbye.
