Episode 1 Impossible

I'm Rick Edwards and this is !mpossible!

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

Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,

but here we also have !mpossible answers.

For example, if I were to ask...

The right answer is Manchester United,

the wrong answer is Manchester City,

but Manchester Giants are a basketball team,

so that is an !mpossible answer to a question starting,

"Which Manchester football club."

Hoping to get lots of right answers,

whilst dodging those pesky !mpossible answers are 24 players.

-Hello, players! ALL:

-Hello, Rick!

Well drilled already.

They're going to be with us for the next two weeks

and every day one of them will have the chance to unlock this...

AUDIENCE WHOOPS It's dancing.

The giant exclamation mark

is filled with £10,000 shimmering pound coins.

At the end of each show,

one of this dazzling two dozen will face the final question.

And here it is, today's £10,000 question,

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

Now, I want to get to know you, obviously.

I'm going to start because I have to, with you, Wisdom!

You're on a quiz show and you're called Wisdom.

I absolutely love it.

Is that a good sign?

I've done a few quiz, like, apps on my phone and stuff.

-Oh, you've been training.

-Yes.

-I like that, good attitude.

So, yeah, we'll see how things go from there.

-Good luck to you today, Wisdom.

-Thank you.

All right, we'll be getting to know our lovely players as the

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

So you will face five multiple choice questions,

each with three answers.

The right answer will score you a point,

the wrong answer will score you nothing,

but if you choose the !mpossible 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.

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

whoever locks in their answers the fastest will qualify.

Best of luck. Here is your first question.

Almost everyone has gone with Cornwall.

Let's see what the right answer is.

It is, A, Cornwall.

Which means 23 of you get a point.

Wisdom, how are you feeling?

I'm good!

-Have you avoided it?

-I'm going to say yes.

You're going to say yes.

Let's see if you have. The !mpossible answer is...

It's Exmoor. You've survived, Wisdom.

Any idea why Exmoor is the !mpossible answer?

It doesn't look like a county.

-Isn't a county.

-Yeah.

-Just isn't a county.

-That works.

All right. Moving on to question two.

The vast majority have gone with A, Loganberry.

Let's reveal the right answer.

It is A, Loganberry.

A point to all of you, well done.

Now we have got a couple of marionberries and one nickberry.

Ah!

-Sai, you've gone out on a bit of a limb with nickberries.

-Yeah.

Have you ever had any nickberries?

Yeah, I'm not even going to comment.

I don't want to make myself look any more foolish on national television.

-You had a little guess?

-It definitely was a guess.

-OK.

-!mpossible!

Let's reveal the !mpossible answer.

I'm afraid it is nickberry.

-Yeah.

-Who is not a fruit, he is an actor.

And you did only have a heart beat to pick your answer!

-Sai, you did give the !mpossible answer.

-Cool.

We'll have to say goodbye to you at this early stage,

we'll see you tomorrow.

Angela and Andrew, you survive.

The marionberry is a type of blackberry

cultivated in Marion County, Oregon.

Question number three.

Let's see what the right answer is first?

It's, C, Hans Zimmer.

Just Lesley, Dan and Flic got that right.

A point to you three.

That means that either one of you or almost all of you have given the

!mpossible answer. Les, you've gone with Charles Barry.

Are you a fan of Going for Gold?

I know it. I know the theme tune.

No idea who wrote it.

-Nope! Well, that much is clear.

-A pure guess.

Let's see what the !mpossible answer was.

I'm afraid it was Charles Barry.

Charles Barry, not a composer,

he was an architect who was involved

with the reconstruction of the Houses of Parliament.

Les, unfortunately, we'll have to say goodbye now,

but we will see you tomorrow.

Moving on to question number four.

Let's find out the right answer.

It was, B, rhesus.

That's a point to all of you.

Jake, how are you feeling about proboscis?

I'm pretty sure it is a monkey cos it has a long nose.

I've never heard of a cornelius,

so hopefully it's not the !mpossible answer.

Hopefully not. What was the !mpossible answer?

The !mpossible answer was Cornelius.

Cornelius, not a species of monkey,

he was a character, a chimpanzee archaeologist,

in the Planet of the Apes films.

So going into our final question, question five of this round...

The !mpossible answer is...

Humphry Davy.

Humphry Davy was a scientist.

-Will?

-I had no idea, just a lucky guess.

Yeah, no, I could see that, Will.

We'll see you tomorrow.

So if B, Adam Smith, is the right answer,

then one of you people on four points

will be coming down to play a grid.

The right answer is...

It's B, Adam Smith.

So all of you who went for Adam Smith, B, get a point.

That means that Lesley, Dan and Flic are tied on five points.

So we come down to who locked in their answers the quickest,

and I can tell you

that that was Flic.

SHE GASPS

Congratulations, Flic, you have the chance to grab

the first place in today's final.

So, Flic, here we are.

-How are you feeling?

-Nervous, very excited. So...

What are we looking at here?

-What's the ETA?

-A couple of months to go.

A couple of months and you're all set?

-All ready?

-No, not at all, so £10,000 would be nice.

It would be. What would you do with the £10,000,

baby bedroom and that kind of thing?

I'm torn, really, Rick, cos head says bigger car, heart says Vegas.

Mmm! Yeah, I mean what about both?

So rent a really big car in Vegas?!

It's an idea!

It's a great idea,

but I think I'd probably want to leave it behind!

OK. Let's focus.

This is your chance to win up to £500 into the daily prize pot.

Crucially, take a massive step

towards playing that £10,000 question.

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

And the topics are:

Which do you fancy?

I'm going to take Sport, I think. I think Sport's my best chance here.

This is how it works. First, I'm going to reveal nine answers.

Here we go.

We've got...

Now we're going to see the first half of a question,

which English World Snooker champion...

Five of those answers are !mpossible.

That is there couldn't possibly be an answer

beginning to a question like that

because they are not English World Snooker champions.

Your first job is to find those !mpossible answers

and then banish them into oblivion.

You'll have five guesses and each !mpossible answer

that you eliminate will add £100 to the daily prize pot.

Where would you like to start?

I know a few that I think are correct answers,

-so I'm going try to avoid them for the time being.

-Yep.

I think I will start with

Stephen Hendry.

-Why are we going for him?

-I think he is not English, I think he's Welsh.

Is Stephen Hendry, an !mpossible answer?

-It is an !mpossible answer, not Welsh, Scottish.

-Ah.

-But, crucially, not English.

-OK.

It's a good start, where do you want to go next?

-Cliff Thorburn.

-And what's the thinking?

I don't know who he is.

So, Cliff Thorburn, let's lock him in.

Is Cliff Thorburn an !mpossible answer?

Yes, it is. He's Canadian.

On the same basis as Stephen Hendry, I think I will go for Steve Davis.

OK. Let's lock in Steve Davis.

So we're going on the basis that you think he's Welsh,

-but he's actually Scottish?

-Potentially, yes.

Hopefully one or the other.

Right, OK. Is Steve Davis an !mpossible answer?

I'm afraid not, he is an English World Snooker champion.

Two more attempts.

Let's see if we can eliminate a couple of more !mpossibles.

Well, I had luck with Cliff Thorburn,

so I think I will go with Neil Robertson, as well.

On the basis that I'm not familiar with him.

Let's lock him in.

Is Neil Robertson an !mpossible answer?

He is! He's Australian!

One more attempt to find another !mpossible answer.

So, I'm going to try to eliminate Alex Higgins.

Is Alex Higgins an !mpossible answer.

Yes, he won it.

But he's Northern Irish.

So, you've put £400 into the daily prize pot.

The question now is will you be playing

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

In a moment I'll reveal the second half of the question

and I'm now looking for the right answer.

-OK.

-If you find it, a place in the final is yours.

If you give a wrong answer, the next-best player

will have the chance to steal your place in the final. That was Lesley.

Stand by, Lesley.

If you give me an !mpossible answer,

and we know that there is still one up there,

sadly, you will be eliminated from today's show.

-OK.

-So let's reveal the full question.

Which English World Snooker champion

is known as The Jester from Leicester?

I think that I'm going to go with Steve Davis

on the basis that I remember...

You know, he was quite a jovial chap.

So, hopefully...

Is he The Jester from Leicester?

This for a place in today's final.

Oh!

Afraid not.

Steve Davis, not from Leicester.

And to be fair, not that much of a jester.

And he's from Plumstead.

Lesley, if you get this right, that place in the final is yours.

Otherwise, Flic will go through.

But there is still one !mpossible answer up there.

If you give me that, you will be out for the day.

A bit of pressure.

It's between the Marks. I'm going to say Mark Selby.

So, is Mark Selby known as The Jester from Leicester?

Yes, he is!

Well done, Lesley. Unlucky, Flic.

-Lesley has nabbed your place in the final.

-Sorry!

The !mpossible answer up there was Mark Williams, who is Welsh.

Ronnie O'Sullivan, The Rocket, of course.

And Shaun Murphy, known as The Magician.

So there are still two places left in today's final alongside Lesley.

Let's find out who's going to be claiming the next one.

Question number one.

Let's find out what the right answer is.

Moonlight. So if you went for C, you get a point.

Well done.

Ursula, you went for Spotlight?

Well, I don't watch many films.

I've seen Spotlight.

I think it was a Best Picture Oscar-winning film.

And Twilight wasn't very good...

Well, try telling that to Wisdom.

Because Wisdom as gone for Twilight.

-Oh, Wisdom.

-I think I'm fine.

One of you has obviously given the !mpossible answer.

Here we go.

Wisdom's waving at you in, I've got to say,

-quite a patronising way, Ursula.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll see!

Let's see, which is the !mpossible answer...

Bye, Wis.

It's A, Twilight.

Pride does come before a fall there, Wisdom, I'm afraid.

Quite a lot of you out there, I'm afraid.

So, goodbye and we'll see you all tomorrow.

The right answer, first,

A, Majorca.

The majority of you did go for that, so a point to all of you.

Collette and Rob, neighbours?

Big island goers?

-Like the Balearics?

-I go to the Canaries all the time.

-Oh, do you?

-A complete mistake.

I think it's the !mpossible answer.

Oh, dear, it could be good news for you, Rob.

Let's see what the !mpossible answer is.

It is Tenerife because, as you say, Collette, you go there,

it's in the Canary Islands.

-Of course.

-So we'll say goodbye to you, Collette,

and you, I'm afraid, Ursula.

Question number three,

Let's find out the right answer.

It was B, Gypsy.

A point to all of you. What was the !mpossible answer?

Wicked. So you're all safe.

Wicked, not a Stephen Sondheim musical,

but it is a prequel to the Wizard of Oz.

Everyone continues.

On to question number four.

So the majority of you have gone with A, Adrian IV.

Let's see if it was the right answer.

Yes, it was. So a point to you guys.

Let's see what the !mpossible answer is.

Lots of Popes called Pious, 12 of them, but no Impious.

It's a bit of fun we're having.

He wouldn't be an Impious Pope, would he?

No! No, it would be a terrible name for a Pope.

The worst name.

So, Mike, unfortunately, we are going to have to say goodbye.

So, going on to our fifth and final question in this round,

five of you are on four points,

Andrew, Jake, Justin, Bob and Cecilia.

Question number five.

Let's first see if you've all managed

to avoid the !mpossible answer.

Private Passions, not a Radio 4 programme,

Radio 3, first broadcast in 1995.

So you have avoided the !mpossible.

So now it's just to the matter of the right answer.

Desert Island Discs.

So a point to everyone who went for Desert Island Discs,

which means we now have three players

on five points and they are Justin, Bob and Cecilia.

It's very, very close,

but the person who answered the quickest across the round

was Bob!

Congratulations, Bob.

You have the chance to grab the second place

in today's final alongside Lesley.

-Bob! Welcome!

-Thank you.

-How are you feeling?

-Great.

-Bob, if you were to make it through...

-Yep.

And then have a pop at a £10,000 question and then get the £10,000.

-What would you spend it on?

-It's my 50th wedding anniversary next year.

-Congratulations.

-So, I'd take the wife to Australia.

What's 50? What's the, erm, precious...

Too many.

Yeah! Yeah!

-Golden! Golden. Is it golden?!

-Yeah.

OK. Let's remind ourselves of the three topics you have got left.

They are...

What do you reckon?

-I'll go for Television.

-All right.

So you're going to see nine answers.

Here we go. They are...

The first half of the question...

So five of those answers are !mpossible,

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

because they're not Only Fools and Horses characters.

So you want to find those !mpossible answers and eliminate them.

Each !mpossible answer that you eliminate

adds £100 to the prize pot, which now stands at £400.

So, where shall we start?

Well, we'll start with Fletcher. He's Norman Stanley in Porridge.

OK. Confident. Is Fletcher an !mpossible answer?

Exactly right. Norman Stanley Fletcher in Porridge.

That's £100 added to the prize pot.

-Where next?

-The guy who used to play Fletcher used to say,

"G-G-Granville, get a cloth" in the corner shop one, Open All Hours.

So we're going to lock in Granville.

I'm loving all the detail, here, Bob.

Is Granville an !mpossible answer?

Absolutely right, from Open All Hours played by David Jason.

So that's £200 added to the prize pot and in some style, Bob.

Thank you.

Margo is Margo Leadbetter in To The Manor Born, I believe.

OK.

Is Margo an !mpossible answer?

Margo is an !mpossible answer, actually from The Good Life.

Is CJ... Is CJ from Eggheads?

Is CJ an !mpossible answer?

It is. We were thinking of the

CJ from the Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin.

Of course, yes.

So, four from four,

let's see if we can eliminate the one remaining !mpossible answer.

Good old Uncle Arthur.

Is Uncle Arthur, an !mpossible answer?

Yes, he is a character better known as Sergeant Wilson.

-Of course, yes, Dad's Army.

-It's what Pike calls him in Dad's Army.

-Yeah, of course.

-So five !mpossible answers successfully eliminated.

£500 added to the prize pot. It now stands at £900.

-Very well played, Bob.

-Thank you.

But, will you be playing for that money

and for 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, a place in the final alongside Lesley is yours.

But if you give a wrong answer,

the next quickest player will have the chance

to steal your place in the final.

And I can reveal that was Cecilia.

-Oh, damn!

-Yes!

I think you can say damn, Cecilia.

Let's reveal the full question.

Which character in Only Fools and Horses,

habitually calls Rodney, Dave?

-Trigger.

-Very quick on the old trigger there!

So, is Trigger the right answer?

Of course it is. Played by Roger Lloyd Pack.

Congratulations, Bob, you've added £500 to the prize pot

and you're through to today's final.

-Thank you.

-Go and take your place.

OK, just one place up for grabs in the final.

Let's find out who it's going to be.

Only eight of you surviving now.

Two thirds of the pack gone.

Here's your first question.

And all but one of you has gone with, C, table tennis.

What is the right answer?

It is table tennis.

So a point to seven of you, well done.

Jake, you went for badminton?

I wanted to get my answer in quick.

And Badminton is an Olympic sport.

I don't know what the penhold grip is,

but I imagine it looks like holding a pen!

Oh, there's a thought, Jake!

Let's see what the !mpossible answer was.

Squash, not an Olympic sport.

Jake you've survived.

Question number two.

Most of you have gone with Bannockburn.

Is that the right answer?

It is, a point to all of you.

Let's see who has given an !mpossible answer.

It's A, Flodden.

Sorry, Cecilia, it might sound Scottish,

but it was in Northumberland.

That means we have to say goodbye to you at this point.

But we'll see you tomorrow.

Moving on to question number three.

Most of you have gone with B, Wilbur.

Ashleigh, you went for C, Gabriel.

Still feeling all right about that, Ashleigh?

Yeah, I think I'm quite confident with this one.

-Quite confident with this one?

-Big Bagpuss fan.

Ah, big Bagpuss fan?

-Massive.

-Feeling confident.

The only one who has gone for that answer.

Let's see if that confidence is well placed.

What was the right answer?

It is C. Ashleigh knew it.

Now, what that means is that Ashleigh gets a point and either

Justin is going to be eliminated or all of the rest of you.

-How are you feeling, Justin?

-I think Madeline's the doll from Bagpuss.

So you're actually feeling OK, like you're going to stay in?

Yeah, I think so.

Let's find out what the !mpossible answer was.

It was, B.

-Wilbur is a pig from Charlotte's Web.

-Oh, no.

So it's goodbye to the five of you who picked, Wilbur, I'm afraid.

We'll see you all tomorrow, leaving Justin and Ashleigh to duke it out

for the remainder of the round.

Question number four.

You've both gone for C, Pont Neuf.

Let's see if you've both given the right answer.

You have...

not!

The right answer was B, Pond d'lena.

Let's have a look at the !mpossible answer.

It's Pont du Gard.

Which is a Roman aqueduct in southern France.

You avoided it successfully,

which means that you both proceed to our final question, question five.

And that question is...

Once again, you've both gone for the same answer, B, Tristram Hunt.

Feeling relatively confident about that, Ashleigh?

I think Ethan Hunt is in Mission !mpossible,

so I think that might not be the right one.

And I think Jeremy Hunt does something else for the Cabinet.

So I think it might be all right.

OK. Let's see if you've managed to avoid the !mpossible answer,

which was...

..Ethan Hunt, who you correctly identified as Tom Cruise's character

in the Mission: Impossible films.

Now, let's see if you've given the right answer,

which was...

..Tristram Hunt. Spot-on.

Meaning you both get a point.

Justin, you finish on three points, but, Ashleigh, you finish on four.

-Meaning you have the chance to grab a place in today's final.

-Bagpuss!

-Welcome down here, Ashleigh.

-Thank you.

-It was a bloodbath up there.

-We duked it out.

-Yes, you did.

-And you were successful.

And now that you're up close and personal with the money,

any thoughts on what you might do with it?

Yes. I've just started to learn how to be a bee-keeper.

-Oh!

-So I'll get some bees.

-Have you got all the clobber?

-No, just the hat at the minute.

-Oh, just the hat.

So getting stung all over the body.

-You just need a thick coat, it's all right.

-Oh, fine.

And a pair of gloves.

Not where I was expecting the chat to go at all, Ashleigh!

But I'm glad that we talked about it.

So, unfortunately, we haven't got bee wrangling up there as a topic,

what we do have left is Art and History.

Of those, which one do you want to go for?

I'll go for Art.

OK. So I'm going to show you nine answers.

Here we go.

Here is the first half of a question.

So five of those answers are !mpossible.

They couldn't be the answers to a question beginning like that,

because they are not by da Vinci.

We need to find those !mpossible answers and get rid of them.

You've got five guesses and each one that you successfully get rid of

will add £100 to the daily prize pot,

which is currently standing at a magnificent £900.

-Where do you want to start?

-I'll go for the Tower of Babel.

OK. Let's lock that in.

-Why have you gone for that?

-Because I don't think it is a da Vinci one.

But I'm just having a bit of a guess here.

I've got a couple that I know definitely are,

-but the others are just guesses.

-OK.

Let's see if it is a successful guess.

Is the Tower of Babel an !mpossible answer?

It is! It's by Bruegel The Elder.

So £100 added.

The prize pot is now £1,000.

-Where would you like to go next?

-Starry Night.

-Starry Night.

OK, let's lock that in.

-Who do you think The Starry Night is by?

-That's Van Gogh.

Let's see if you're right.

Yes! It is an !mpossible answer and, as you say, it's by Van Gogh.

Another £100 added to the prize pot.

Where next?

This is where it gets tricky because I'm just guessing now.

-Las Menias.

-So Las Meninas?

-Meninas.

Is Las Meninas an !mpossible answer?

It is. It's by Velazquez.

Three from three.

Let's see if we can make it four from four.

I'm going to go for The Virgin of the Rocks.

Is The Virgin of the Rocks an !mpossible answer?

-Oh.

-You were pushing your luck, I'm afraid, Ashleigh.

-Yes.

-So, let's see if we can get rid of another !mpossible

and get the prize put up to £1,300.

I'm go to go for The Birth Of Venus.

-Another guess?

-Yeah.

-Yeah!

OK, let's see if it's a lucky one.

Yes!

By Botticelli.

So, Ashleigh, pretty good! £400 added to the prize pot.

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

and I'm now looking for the right answer.

So if you find it, you'll take your place in the final.

If you give me the wrong answer,

the next-best player has the chance to steal your place in the final,

that is of course, Justin.

Justin is standing by!

If you give me an !mpossible answer

and we know that there is still one up there,

sadly, you will be eliminated from today's show.

So, let's reveal the full question:

This is a bit of a guess, but because I think that

The Vitruvian Man is the symbol of just a man standing, into space,

I think that the others could be a bit full on the back of the coin.

It could be the Mona Lisa, but I'm going to go for Vitruvian Man.

So would you like to lock in Vitruvian Man?

Yeah.

It is!

Well done, Ashleigh, you are through to the final.

If you're interested, the remaining !mpossible answer

was the Arnolfini Portrait, which is by Jan van Eyck.

Please take your place. Thank you.

For the rest of you,

I'm afraid that victory today proved !mpossible,

-but we will be seeing you all again tomorrow. Bye! ALL:

-Bye!

But, for Lesley, Bob and Ashleigh, it's time for the final.

So, Lesley, Bob and Ashleigh.

The three of you have managed to put £1,300 into today's prize pot,

but only one of you can win that money

and the right to face the £10,000 question.

You each start with 10 lives.

Questions are on the buzzer.

Just buzz and get one right,

you knock a life off both your opponents.

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

However, some of the questions are !mpossible.

Which is to say there is no answer, the question is utterly illogical,

it make no sense, it's absurd.

For example, what colour is the cross on the French flag?

There is no cross on the French flag,

so that is an !mpossible question.

If you think you've spotted one of these,

all you've got to do is buzz in and say !mpossible.

That's bad news for your opponents cos they'll both lose two lives.

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

or give any other answer to an !mpossible question,

it is you that will lose the two lives.

So you do need to be very careful.

The last player standing takes the £1,300.

Are we ready?

-Yes.

-Yep.

-Good luck to you all.

Which metal has the chemical symbol, Sn?

-Bob?

-Tin.

-It is tin.

On which French battle field did Napoleon meet his...

-Bob.

-Waterloo.

On which French battle field did Napoleon meet his final defeat?

I'm afraid it's !mpossible, Bob,

-it wasn't in France it was in what is now Belgium.

-Belgium.

Sorry, Bob.

Which actress appears in the films Skyfall and Shakespeare in Love?

-Ashleigh?

-Kate Winslet.

-It's not!

-You're right, it isn't.

It's not! It's Dame Judi Dench actually, you lose a life.

Deep Blue was the name of a machine in the 1990s.

-Ashleigh?

-Chess.

That is designed to play which game? It is chess.

Bob, you lose a life, Lesley, you also lose a life.

The name of which US state begins with the letter B?

-Ashleigh?

-Baltimore.

Boston.

I'm afraid, Ashleigh, even worse, it's !mpossible.

There are no US states beginning with B.

In which Disney animated film is Princess Aurora the main character?

-Ashleigh?

-Sleeping Beauty.

It is Sleeping Beauty.

A life from Bob and a life from Lesley.

In the computing term, HTML, what does the letter L stand for?

No, OK?

-Lesley?

-!mpossible!

No! It stands for language!

I'm afraid your first contribution is losing two of your own lives.

Which racehorse won the Aintree Grand National in 1993?

-Lesley?

-Red Rum.

I'm afraid you've given another answer when it is !mpossible.

It was a false start.

It was two false starts and the race was declared void.

Bob, you lose your last life.

Ashleigh, congratulations, you are today's winner with £1,300.

Lesley, Bob, unlucky this time, but we will see you both tomorrow.

Ashleigh, time to face the £10,000 question.

Thank you.

Well done, Ashleigh. You are today's winner with £1,300.

That's lovely. Not to be sniffed at.

But you could be leaving with a whole lot more if you can answer the

£10,000 question.

This is how it works.

I'm going to show you nine answers and then ask a question.

Three of the nine answers are correct.

If you can find them all within ten seconds,

you win the £10,000.

That's the good news.

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

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

The bad news is that three of the nine answers are !mpossible.

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

I can only accept the first three answers you give,

so do be very careful.

Any subject that you're hoping for?

-Film, I would like.

-Film, you would like. OK.

-Yeah.

I can tell you that the topic is Film.

Oh!

-Do you feel ready?

-Yes.

-OK. Good luck.

-Thank you.

-Here are your nine answers.

You will have 10 seconds to lock in your answers and you're looking for

films directed by Martin Scorsese that star Robert De Niro

and your time starts now.

Casino, Raging Bull and The Departed.

Oh!

-What do you think?

-I think I might have blown that.

Why do you think that?

I'm getting my Jack Nicholsons

and my Robert De Niros mixed up, I think.

So you first said Casino.

We need Casino to be directed Martin Scorsese

and starring Robert De Niro,

to keep you in with a chance of that £10,000.

Is Casino a right answer?

It is. You were confident.

And you were bang on. You then said Raging Bull.

Also confident in this one?

-Ish.

-Is Raging Bull a right answer?

Yes, it is.

Two from three.

One remaining.

If The Departed is a right answer, you'll be going home with £10,000.

-You look shaky?

-I am shaky!

OK, let's do it. Is The Departed a right answer?

CROWD GROAN I'm afraid it isn't!

You were right, you were confusing your Nicholsons with your De Niros.

Robert De Niro is not in The Departed, Jack Nicholson is.

But you got £1,300. So it's not all bad.

Yeah! Thank you very much.

As Good As It Gets was !mpossible, directed by James L Brooks.

Donnie Brasco was also an !mpossible answer,

directed by Mike Newell.

And LA Confidential was the last remaining !mpossible answer,

directed by Curtis Hanson.

The one that you wanted, want to have a guess now?

-Is it The King of Comedy?

-It is The King Of Comedy, I'm afraid!

-I've never seen it.

-Go home...

-I'll go and watch it now!

I feel like don't cos it will be more painful.

Never watch that film!

No, I'll just fool around with my £1,300 quid, it will be great.

-You can still get a lot of bees from £1,300.

-Yes, exactly.

Thank you so much. It's been lovely having you on the show.

Thank you very much. So, Ashleigh leaves with £1,300,

the rest of us will be back tomorrow,

when someone else will have the chance to win ten grand.

This has been !mpossible,

the quiz where actually, anything is possible.

Goodbye!
