Episode 6 Impossible

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

# Impossible

# Impossible. #

APPLAUSE

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

Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,

but here, we also have impossible answers.

For example, if I were to ask...

The right answer is Orinoco.

The wrong answer is Tobermory, but Bungle is a character from

Rainbow, not the Wombles at all.

So, that is the impossible answer.

Hoping to get lots of right answers whilst dodging those pesky

impossible answers are 30 players.

-Hello, players. ALL:

-Hello!

Cheery as ever. They will be with us throughout the series,

competing not only for a daily prize pot of up to £1,500...

THEY OOH AND AAH

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

THEY CHEER

They're whooping because they know that this exclamation mark is filled

with 10,000 shimmering pound coins.

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

Here it is. Today's £10,000 question.

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

Now, Gary, last time you came so close to seeing all of this money

-cascade out.

-I know. So, so close.

But you did manage to hang on to the £1,200 daily prize pot, so that's a

-consolation at least.

-Oh, very much so. Very much so.

Anne, who is watching at home?

My other half. My new partner I met eight years ago on the internet.

Because he played golf when I met him, I've learnt it since.

If you can't beat them, join them, you know.

Yes, good attitude, Anne.

-Are we going to see you out here at some point?

-I do hope so.

I hope so, too, Anne. We'll be getting to know all of our lovely

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

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

The right answer scores you a point.

The wrong answer scores you nothing.

But if you choose the impossible answer...

..disaster. That immediately knocks you out of today's show

and you'll have to try again tomorrow.

After five questions, the highest scorer gets the first chance to bag

a place in today's final.

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

whoever locked in their answers the fastest will qualify.

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

Get those answers locked in.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It's St David.

So, a point to all of you that put David.

That does, unfortunately, mean that

one or more of you has given an

impossible answer.

Kerry, are you up on your saints?

Only last week my daughter was playing the piano

and it was something to do with St Stephen's bells

ringing or something.

So, therefore, I thought that was quite plausible.

It sounds plausible when you put it like that, Kerry.

Let's see what the impossible answer is.

I'm afraid it's St Stephen.

Not a UK patron saint.

That means that we have to lose you at this very early stage, Kerry.

But we will see you again tomorrow.

-Thank you.

-Just slowly shakes his head.

LAUGHTER

Question number two.

So, the majority of you have gone for George Eliot.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It is A, George Eliot.

A point to all of you.

Dan, you went for a AS Byatt.

-Yeah.

-Book reader?

No, not really. I just kind of thought, "Well,

"George Eliot is a bit obvious but clearly wrong."

You know, male name, got suckered in with that.

-Bram Stoker...

-Or, to put it another way, clearly right.

Yeah, well, yeah.

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

It is Bram Stoker.

Bram Stoker is a man.

I'm sorry, Craig and Bim.

At this stage we are going to have to say goodbye to you.

-We'll see you both tomorrow.

-I thought George Eliot is a man.

Ah, wait. Wait, Bim,

George Eliot sounds like a man, but is actually the pen name of

-Mary Ann Evans.

-Now I learn.

There you go. It's a learning experience, Bim.

So, at this stage we've lost Parin, Craig, Kerry and Bim.

Let's move on to question three.

So, we've got a full spread of

answers here.

Let's first of all reveal

the right answer.

It was B, Paul McGinley.

Only eight of you getting that right,

so eight of you getting a point.

That means, potentially, we could lose a lot of people.

Anne...?

I have watched that. I did watch the Ryder Cup couple of years ago, yes.

Mm-hm.

-And I couldn't remember who was the captain.

-Ah, that's a problem.

-It is.

-Let's reveal the impossible answer.

It is C, Paul Lawrie.

-He's a Scottish golfer.

-Aw.

Sorry, Anne, Sarah, Annie, and Carol, we'll have to lose you.

We'll see you all tomorrow.

Question number four.

So, a lot of you have gone for David.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It is B, David.

Points to all of you.

That means one or more of you has given an impossible answer.

-Richard.

-Hello.

Familiar with the Venus de Milo?

It was a toss-up between David and Venus de Milo and I think I've

heard of Michelangelo's Venus de Milo...

..but not necessarily there.

Helen, you went for Pieta.

Yeah, so I'm familiar with the Pieta.

I did two years of art history, but now I'm feeling really, really,

really unsure. But I know that the Venus de Milo is in the Louvre.

But now... I don't... Maybe...

I'm really confused now.

Two years of art history ends with confusion.

I'll put you out of your misery now, Helen,

and reveal the impossible answer is...

Oh.

The Venus de Milo, not by Michelangelo,

is in the Louvre, as you said, Helen.

Pieta is in St Peters in Rome.

So, that means, unfortunately, Vinessa, Richard and Linda,

we have to say goodbye to you now, but we will see you again tomorrow.

Moving on to the last question.

This is question five.

Let's reveal the right answer.

John Taylor.

So, ten of you getting that right and getting another point.

That does mean that some of the rest of you have given an impossible

answer. Richie?

Well, I was absolutely sure it was Simon Le Bon

and I was waiting for him to come out, and I'm still waiting for it to

-come out because it's not any of them.

-Oh, yeah, sorry.

D, Simon Le Bon.

And I thought, "Well, it couldn't be Simon Taylor,"

because two Simons in a band would be confusing,

-so I just went for Roger.

-Let's reveal the impossible answer.

You can't have two Simons in a band.

That means unfortunately, Curtis, Tracy and Penny,

we have to lose you at that stage

but we'll see you all tomorrow.

So, after those five questions, two of you have five points.

They are Carol Marie and Andrew.

It was very close,

but the fastest to lock in their answers...

was Andrew.

Congratulations.

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

-Andrew.

-We must stop meeting like this.

We really must. But it's good for you that we are meeting.

Remind me, who's going to be watching you?

Well, hopefully, my family.

My brother-in-law, my two boys, my wife,

and anybody else that knows me.

All right. This is your chance to put £500 into today's prize pot,

and, crucially, take a massive step towards playing

that £10,000 question. You've played it once before.

If you do get through, it will be your second and final attempt.

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

Sport, Film, Politics, Books & Literature.

-Which do you want to go for?

-I'll go for Film, please.

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

And the first half of a question...

Five of those answers are impossible,

because they are not films starring Julia Roberts.

Your first job is to find those impossible answers and get

rid of them. Each impossible answer that you eliminate will add £100 to

today's prize pot.

-Where shall we start?

-Lost In Translation.

-Julia Roberts not in it.

-I don't think so.

For £100 in the prize pot, is Lost In Translation

an impossible answer?

It is.

Scarlett Johansson is the lead actress.

Second answer, please.

Changeling.

Confident that Julia Roberts isn't in Changeling?

I think it might be Angelina Jolie, but I'm not 100% sure.

OK. Let's see.

Is Changeling an impossible answer?

It is. And it is Angelina Jolie who's in that film.

-Third answer, please.

-Struggling now.

Something's Got to Give.

Is Something's Got to Give an impossible answer?

Diane Keaton starred in that film.

So, three from three. Next go.

Conspiracy Theory.

Is Conspiracy Theory an impossible answer?

Unfortunately not.

Julia Roberts is in the film Conspiracy Theory.

Let's see if we can knock out one more impossible answer

with your final go.

Duplicity.

Is Duplicity a film starring Julia Roberts

or is it an impossible answer?

Unfortunately, that does star Julia Roberts.

Nevertheless, £300 in the prize pot.

We now need to work out if you're going to be playing for that money

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

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

and I'm now looking for the right answer.

If you find it, you take your place in the final.

If you give a wrong answer,

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

final. That was Carol Marie.

All the way out there.

Ready to steal, Carol Marie?

Oh, indeed. I'm a huge Julia Roberts fan.

No pressure, Andrew!

Huge Julia Roberts fan waiting to steal.

Now, if you give me an impossible answer - and we know that,

unfortunately, there are two impossible answers still up

there on the grid - you'll be eliminated from today's show.

Let's reveal the full question.

That film would be...

Mona Lisa Smile.

If Mona Lisa Smile is the right answer...

..you'll be playing in today's final.

Yes, it is.

Well done, Andrew.

The impossible answers that you missed, Notes On A Scandal -

Judi Dench is in that - and North Country starring Charlize Theron.

Congratulations, Andrew. Take your place in the final.

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

Here is your first question.

The majority of you have gone with 1915.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It's 1915.

Well done to all of you. You get a point.

Jane, you're shaking your head a bit.

I know. The war hadn't even started in 1913.

It's the 1914-18 war.

Nevertheless, you went for 1913.

Oh, yeah. Well, I'm impossible.

Well, let's see if you are. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

I'm afraid so. World War I, as you said, started in 1914.

The Lusitania was torpedoed on the 7th of May 1915.

-Jane...

-Yeah?

-..you are the impossible answer.

As is Guy, as is Ray.

So, we have to say goodbye to you and we'll see you tomorrow.

-Bye.

-Moving on to question two.

LAUGHTER

No laughing.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It's C, Brooklyn.

A point to all of you

who went for Brooklyn.

Now we are hoping that Romeo is not the impossible answer.

-Alan...?

-Yes, Rick?

-do you follow the Beckham family tree?

Yes, and I realise I'd made a ridiculous mistake

and thought I'd changed

my mind in time, but I didn't.

OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

It's Buddy Bear.

Buddy Bear is Jamie Oliver's son.

Oh, poor kid.

Question number three.

Everybody has gone for Dylan,

apart from a couple of Dougals.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It is B, Dylan.

A point to all of you.

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

It's Denzil. There is a character called Dougal, just not a rabbit.

Question number four.

So, a lot of you have gone for bara brith.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It's C, bara brith.

And the name means, "speckled bread."

So, a point to all of you.

-Gary...

-Yeah, in retrospect, bara brith sounds exceptionally Welsh.

It does, doesn't it?

Then, you know, sweetbread, that sounds like a fruit loaf...

-hopefully.

-Mm-hm.

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

It is A, Sweetbread.

Alan, Gary, it's a type of offal.

You wouldn't want that with your tea.

That's it for today, but we'll see you tomorrow.

Enjoy your tea.

So, going into our last question in this round,

three of you are on four points -

Jo, Gerard and Megan.

And remember it's how fast you've locked in your answers

across the whole round that will be important.

Question number five.

All of you have gone for

Clarence House.

Let's hope that's not impossible.

It is Clarence House.

So, everyone gets a point.

Let's quickly reveal the impossible answer.

Apsley House, not a royal residence.

The former residence of the Duke of Wellington.

So, all three of you in the top row

got it right.

You're all on five points.

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

across the round...

was Jo.

THEY CHEER

Congratulations.

Jo, you have the chance to grab a place in today's final

alongside Andrew.

Very popular finalist, Jo.

Tell us a bit about yourself.

Mum of three - sometimes beautiful - girls.

Full-time mummy, which is obviously -

I'm sure all the ladies up there will agree -

-it's the hardest job of the lot.

-Uh-huh.

Cos you do a bit of everything.

OK. If you were to win some money here...

Yeah, if I was to win money,

I think it would be to send the eldest two to some really good drama

-school.

-OK.

-So, they can keep me in my dotage.

Yeah, I can sit back and be a lady of leisure

-and be kept by my rich and famous daughters.

-Wow.

You have the chance now to put another £500

into today's prize pot.

You can also take a huge step towards

playing the £10,000 question.

Of the three remaining topics, which do you fancy?

Best of a bad bunch.

-Books & Literature.

-OK, here are your nine answers.

And the first half of the question...

Which book in CS Lewis's Chronicles Of Narnia series...

Five of those answers are impossible,

because they are not in the Chronicles Of Narnia series.

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

Where do you want to start?

I'll start with A Little Princess.

Confident that's not in Narnia?

Fairly confident, yeah.

Is A Little Princess an impossible answer?

It is. £100 into the prize pot.

Well done. It is by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Second answer, please.

Stormbreaker.

Is it an impossible answer?

Yes, it is.

It's by Anthony Horowitz.

Third answer, please, Jo.

Erm...

I'm going to cross my fingers and go for I Capture The Castle.

Is I Capture The Castle an impossible answer?

It is. Well done. £300 added to the prize pot.

That's by Dodie Smith.

Two more impossibles up there.

Let's see if you can eliminate both of them.

And just going to take a punt on The Magician's Nephew and just hope.

Is The Magician's Nephew an impossible answer?

-Oh.

-I'm afraid it isn't.

It is in the Chronicles Of Narnia series.

Let's see if we can eliminate one more impossible

to put another £100 into the prize pot.

I'll go for The...

..Silmarillion.

We're hoping it's an impossible answer.

It is.

By JRR Tolkien.

So, that's £400 added to the prize fund.

We now need to see if you're going to be playing for that money

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

When I reveal the second half of the question,

you need to tell me the right answer.

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

If you get a wrong answer, the next best player...

..your neighbour, Gerard...

..is ready to steal your place in the final.

The full question is...

I played Edmund in the school's production of The Lion,

The Witch And The Wardrobe.

So, just...

because it's the one I'm very familiar with,

and it's probably very wrong,

so I'll go for The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.

OK. Is The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe the right answer?

It is!

Oh, my God!

Congratulations.

-You're in the final.

-Oh, my God.

The impossible that you missed was The Little Prince.

Well done, though, Jo. We'll see you a bit later in today's final.

Please, take your place next to Andrew.

So, just one place left in today's final alongside Andrew and Jo.

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

There's only nine surviving now.

Here is your first question.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It is B, Citroen.

So, a point to all of you.

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

The impossible answer was Fiat.

Fiat is an Italian car company.

Renault is French.

So, you've escaped, Helen.

Moving on to question two.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It is Arthur Fowler.

The impossible answer is...

Len Ganley.

He's a snooker referee. Question number three.

You've all gone

Strawberry Fields Forever.

Again, let's hope it's the right answer.

Is it?

Yes, it is. Points to all of you.

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

Yes, Ruby Tuesday is the impossible answer.

It's a Rolling Stones track.

Hard to separate the pack at this stage

as we move on to question four.

We have split the pack here.

We've got a full spread of answers.

Most of you think Thomasina Miers.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It is Thomasina Miers.

She won MasterChef in 2005.

Points to all of you.

Let's reveal the impossible answer.

It's C, India Fisher.

Your luck has run out, Helen.

India Fisher actually narrates the show, but we will see you again

tomorrow. So, as we go on to our final question,

we have six people tied on four points.

They are Ash, Deb, Carol Marie,

Gerard, Megan and Paul.

So, who has locked in their answers the quickest across the round

may well be a factor here.

Question five.

So, our answers are split between

Discovery and Endurance.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It's Atlantis.

So, no-one gets a point,

no-one got that right.

However, several of you must have given an impossible answer.

-Gerard.

-Yes, Rick?

Having a good couple of rounds.

You went for Discovery.

Yeah, I thought it was Discovery,

because the name rang a bell.

I'm now starting to panic in case Discovery was an unmanned probe they

sent off to discover the outer reaches of the solar system.

OK. Let's reveal the impossible answer.

It's Endurance.

Endurance is not a Nasa space shuttle.

That means Ash, Dan and Deb, we have to say goodbye to you.

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

Of the surviving five players, four of you are on four points.

The fastest to lock in your answers over that round...

..is Paul.

THEY CHEER Congratulations, Paul.

You have the chance to grab the last place in today's

final alongside Andrew and Jo.

Congratulations, Paul. First time down here playing a grid.

-Feeling all right?

-Yeah, not too bad at all, Rick, thanks.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Good. Going in confident?

Yes, reasonably so.

As confident as you can be in this situation.

It is quite high pressure.

Yeah. I mean, even up there, every time the next question comes up,

there's that element of you just feel your heart beat quicken a

little bit, but if you don't want that feeling,

then you might as well be sat at home in your armchair.

You know, it's that little bit of excitement that's part of the buzz,

-to be honest, Rick.

-That's what we are all here for.

-Yeah, exactly.

That buzz. Now you're in the position where you can add another

-£500 to today's prize pot.

-Yeah.

Which already stands at £700.

-Right.

-Thanks to Andrew and Jo.

And you will also be a step closer towards

-playing that £10,000 question.

-Yeah, yeah.

Of the remaining topics...

Sport and Politics, which would you like to go for?

Well...

I think I would go with Sport, please.

OK. Sport it is.

Here are your nine answers.

And the first half of the question is...

Which Wimbledon ladies singles champion...

So, five of those are impossible.

They couldn't possibly be the answer to a question starting like that,

because they didn't win their Wimbledon ladies' singles title.

Each one that you eliminate will add £100 to today's prize pot.

-OK, Rick.

-Who shall we start with?

So, I'll start on the people who I don't think won it and a really

fabulous looking girl, but I don't think she won Wimbledon,

I will start with Anna Kournikova, please.

Is Anna Kournikova an impossible answer?

Yes, she is.

She didn't win Wimbledon.

Did make the semifinal in 1997.

Let's have another answer.

Again, on those lines, again not a Wimbledon champion, I don't think,

Gabriela Sabatini.

Is Gabriela Sabatini an impossible answer?

She is.

She did make the final in 1991, but she didn't win it.

OK, Rick. Next I will move on to...

..Tracy Austin. I don't recall her ever being Wimbledon ladies' singles

-champion.

-Is Tracy Austin an impossible answer?

She is. £300 in the prize pot now.

She made the semifinal in '79 and '80.

-OK, Rick.

-So, £300 added to the prize pot.

-Right.

-Two more impossible answers up there.

Let's see if we can eliminate them.

OK. Justine Henin, I think you say the surname.

So, Justine Henin.

Is Justine Henin an impossible answer?

She is. Four from four.

Justine Henin made the final in 2001 and 2006, but didn't win.

One more impossible answer to find.

Yeah.

Well, I'm pretty sure on four of them,

which only leaves Monica Seles,

so she would be my final choice, Rick, please.

OK. Is Monica Seles an impossible answer?

She is. Five from five, Paul.

-CHEERING

-Cheers, Rick.

£500 added to the pot. Very well played indeed.

Monica Seles made the final in 1992.

We now need to see if you're going to be playing for a shot at the

£10,000 question in today's final.

You need to give me the right answer when I reveal the whole question.

Remember, the next best player from that round, who was Megan,

Megan is waiting to steal your place in the final if you give a wrong

answer. So, the full question is...

which Wimbledon ladies' singles champion

won the title five times in the 1990s?

I will go with...

..Martina Navratilova.

So...

is Martina Navratilova...

..the right answer?

-Oh.

-I'm afraid it isn't.

-Yeah, I had a feeling.

-She won it nine times.

-Mm-hm.

-Her last win was in 1990.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Paul.

Because that's a wrong answer, Megan,

we now throw to you.

If you can give me the right answer,

you will steal Paul's place in the final.

I'm going to go Steffi Graf.

Is Steffi Graf the right answer?

It is.

Bad luck, Paul.

I'm sure we'll see you again. Yeah.

-Live to fight another day.

-Megan, you're through to today's final.

So, Andrew, Jo and Megan,

there is £1,200 in today's prize pot,

but only one of you can win that money

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

Megan, you told us before that you're hoping to go to Florida on

-your honeymoon, is that right?

-Yeah.

Yeah, so we are getting married next November.

-OK.

-So, it would really help us towards our ever-escalating wedding

costs that are so expensive.

All right.

You're each going to start with ten lives.

Questions are on the buzzer.

Most of them are normal, straightforward questions

with normal, straightforward answers.

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

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

However, some of the questions are impossible.

That is to say, there is no answer.

The question is illogical, it is absurd, it's preposterous.

For example, which species of fish is the largest creature ever to have

lived? The largest creature ever to have lived is the blue whale,

the blue whale isn't a fish, it's a mammal.

So, that's an impossible question.

If you think you've spotted an impossible question,

what you have to do is buzz in and say, "Impossible."

That will mean double trouble for your opponents,

as they will both lose two lives.

But be warned - if you say a question is impossible

when it's not, or give any other answer to an impossible question,

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

So, tread carefully.

The last surviving player takes the £1,200.

Good luck. What is the title of the 2016 Bridget Jones film?

-Jo.

-Bridget Jones's Baby.

It is Bridget Jones's Baby.

Which Russian author wrote The Brothers Karamazov?

-Andrew.

-Dostoevsky.

It was Dostoevsky.

Which model of aircraft manufactured by Boeing is known...?

Megan.

-747?

-..is known as the jumbo jet?

It is the 747.

Well interrupted. Jo, you lose a life.

Andrew also loses a life.

Who did lawyer Cherie Booth marry in...?

-Jo.

-Tony Blair.

..in 1980?

It was Tony Blair.

Who was Holland's leading scorer at the Euro 20...?

Impossible.

..at the Euro 2016 finals tournament?

It is impossible.

They didn't qualify for the tournament.

Well played. That's two lives from Jo and two lives from Andrew.

Which leaf vegetable is a major ingredient of eggs Florentine?

-Jo.

-Impossible.

It's not impossible, I'm afraid.

It's spinach.

So, I'm afraid you lose two lives, Jo.

Who sang lead vocals on Fleetwood Mac's number one hit Albatross?

-Andrew.

-Impossible.

It is impossible. There are no vocals.

It's an instrumental.

That means, Jo, you lose another two lives and, Megan,

you also lose two lives.

In which month of 2016 was Britain's referendum on remaining...?

-Jo.

-June.

-..on remaining in the EU held?

It was June.

In which borough of New York City is the Yankee Stadium located?

-Andrew.

-The Bronx.

It is the Bronx.

How many sides does a parallelogram have?

-Jo.

-Four.

It is four.

This is tight.

Who became Speaker of the House of Commons in June...?

Jo.

-John Bercow.

-..in June 2009?

It was John Bercow.

Meaning it couldn't get much tighter.

Jo, you have one life, Megan, you have one life, Andrew, you have two.

What is the title of the fifth volume of JR...?

-Megan.

-Impossible.

..of JRR Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings?

It is impossible.

There are only three volumes.

Unbelievable play, Megan.

That knocks both of Andrew's lives off, and Jo's,

meaning you are the winner.

CHEERING

Fantastically well interrupted there, Megan.

Took a bit of a chance, but the chance really paid off.

Commiserations to both Andrew and Jo,

but we will see you again tomorrow.

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

Megan, you're today's winner with £1,200.

That is all well and good, but you could be leaving with a whole lot

more if you can answer the £10,000 question.

Here's how it works. I'm going to show you nine answers and then ask a

question. Three of the nine answers are correct and if you can find them

all within ten seconds you win that £10,000.

That is the good news.

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

Pick any of those, you won't win the £10,000.

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

If you give me any of those answers, you will lose the £1,200 as well.

I can only accept the first three answers you give,

-so be careful.

-OK.

Here it is.

Today's £10,000 question.

It is on Science.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

Here are your nine answers.

You are looking for...

And your time starts now.

Potassium, sulphur and

helium.

We've got our three answers locked in.

So, in the order that you gave, the answers...

potassium.

Is it a right answer?

It is.

CHEERING

With the symbol K.

You then locked in sulphur.

Is sulphur a right answer?

It is.

Sulphur has the chemical symbol S.

So, £10,000 riding on this answer.

Your third answer.

You said helium. Is helium the right answer?

THEY GROAN

-Megan, it isn't. I'm so sorry.

-Benzene, is it?

Or electrum?

-It's neither of those either.

-That's OK. That's fine.

-That's fine.

-Helium is He.

The right answer you were looking for, oxygen.

The chemical symbol O.

-Oh, no.

-Nevertheless, Megan, you still won £1,200.

You avoided the impossible answers, which were benzene,

which is a compound, C6H6. Electrum,

which is an alloy mainly of gold and silver. And asbestos,

which is any of a group of several minerals.

So, Megan just narrowly missed out on the £10,000,

but won £1,200 and we'll see her next time.

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

CHEERING Goodbye.
