I'm Rick Edwards and this is !mpossible.

0:00:060:00:08

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

0:00:140:00:16

Most quiz shows have just right answers and wrong answers,

0:00:160:00:19

but here we also have impossible answers.

0:00:190:00:21

So, for example, if I were to ask...

0:00:210:00:23

The right answer is Berlin, the wrong answer is Brussels,

0:00:280:00:31

but Boston is an American city so that is the

0:00:310:00:33

impossible answer to a question starting "In which EUROPEAN city..."

0:00:330:00:38

Hoping to give lots of right answers

0:00:380:00:40

whilst dodging those pesky impossible answers are 24 players.

0:00:400:00:44

-Hello, players. ALL:

-Hi!

0:00:440:00:46

Lovely to see you. They're going to be with us for two weeks,

0:00:460:00:49

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

0:00:490:00:54

magnificent exclamation mark filled with 10,000 glowing pound coins.

0:00:540:00:59

At the end of each show one of this marvellous two dozen will face

0:00:590:01:03

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

0:01:030:01:10

Get this right and all of that money comes cascading down straight into

0:01:100:01:16

your pocket. Yesterday, Ashley left with £1,300.

0:01:160:01:20

She's going to spend it exclusively on bees.

0:01:200:01:23

Great start to the series.

0:01:230:01:25

Taking her place is Victory.

0:01:250:01:27

-Hi.

-Hello, Victory. Now, how are you feeling?

0:01:270:01:30

-I'm very well.

-Excited to be here?

-Yeah. Nervous and excited.

0:01:300:01:33

It's good to be nervous and excited, that's the perfect combination.

0:01:330:01:36

Lovely to have you with us, Victory. Good luck for the series.

0:01:360:01:40

Wendy, how are things with you?

0:01:400:01:41

-I'm good, thank you.

-Enjoy the first day?

-I did, very much.

0:01:410:01:45

What do you do in your day-to-day life, Wendy?

0:01:450:01:49

I work as a translator. I translate from German to English and I also

0:01:490:01:53

work a lot with guide dogs.

0:01:530:01:55

-So you train the guide dogs up and...

-I'm a puppy walker,

0:01:550:01:59

so I have them from when they're seven weeks old until they are about

0:01:590:02:02

one year old and we basically socialise them,

0:02:020:02:06

take them everywhere with us and get them used to the life they are going

0:02:060:02:09

to have, going everywhere, seeing everything and being an absolute

0:02:090:02:13

-freedom-maker for people who are visually impaired.

-Fantastic.

0:02:130:02:17

Thanks very much, Wendy. Best of luck to all of you.

0:02:170:02:19

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

0:02:190:02:22

progresses, of course. But for now let's crack on.

0:02:220:02:25

As you know, you will face five multiple-choice questions,

0:02:250:02:28

each with three answers.

0:02:280:02:29

The right answer gets you a point, the wrong answer gets you nothing,

0:02:290:02:32

but if you choose the impossible answer, real shame,

0:02:320:02:35

that immediately knocks you out of today's show and you'll have to try

0:02:350:02:39

again tomorrow. After five questions the highest scorer gets the first

0:02:390:02:43

chance to bag a place in today's final.

0:02:430:02:45

Answer as quickly as you can because if there is a tie,

0:02:450:02:48

whoever locked in their answers the fastest will qualify.

0:02:480:02:51

-Are we ready? ALL:

-Yeah.

0:02:510:02:53

OK. Let's do it. Here is your first question.

0:02:530:02:55

So most of you have gone with B, Spirit Of St Louis.

0:03:130:03:17

Let's see if you're right.

0:03:170:03:18

You are. A point to all of you.

0:03:200:03:22

Now, there are a few rogue Memphis Belles.

0:03:220:03:25

And a couple of Flying Scotsman. Will. You went for Flying Scotsman.

0:03:250:03:29

I did. Yeah. I didn't really have any idea so I sort of panic guessed,

0:03:290:03:33

and now I know what the Flying Scotsman is so...

0:03:330:03:36

-What is it, Will?

-I think it's a train.

-A flying train?

0:03:360:03:39

You never know. It could happen.

0:03:390:03:42

OK. Let's see if you have given the impossible answer,

0:03:420:03:45

which you think you have.

0:03:450:03:47

I'm afraid so. The Flying Scotsman is a famous train, Will.

0:03:470:03:51

-That means we need to say goodbye to you, and also Victory.

-I know!

0:03:510:03:55

This is like Wisdom, yesterday.

0:03:550:03:56

He went out very early and he's called Wisdom.

0:03:560:03:59

We'll see you both tomorrow.

0:03:590:04:01

So, question number two.

0:04:020:04:04

The overwhelming consensus

0:04:190:04:21

is A, Olivia Colman.

0:04:210:04:24

But we have got one Pauline Quirke and one Una Stubbs.

0:04:240:04:29

So let's find out the right answer.

0:04:290:04:31

It is A, Olivia Colman.

0:04:320:04:34

So a point to 20 of you, just leaving Rob and Dan fidgeting.

0:04:340:04:40

LAUGHTER

0:04:400:04:42

Dan, you went with B, Pauline Quirke.

0:04:420:04:44

OK, well, I'm pretty sure she was in it.

0:04:440:04:47

I did watch the first series and I'm pretty sure she was in it.

0:04:470:04:50

So I just thought most people are going to go with Olivia Colman so I

0:04:500:04:54

thought if I go with B, maybe...

0:04:540:04:58

I'll be sitting here on two points and everyone else has got one.

0:04:580:05:02

But it hasn't worked out that way, but I think...

0:05:020:05:04

-I really like the thinking, Dan.

-I think I'm safe.

0:05:040:05:07

Rob, you went for Una Stubbs.

0:05:070:05:09

Yeah. Broadchurch, never watched it, so no idea, really.

0:05:090:05:13

Just a stab in the dark.

0:05:130:05:15

OK. Well, let's see if you've correctly stabbed in the dark.

0:05:150:05:18

The impossible answer was...

0:05:180:05:20

Una Stubbs.

0:05:220:05:24

Una Stubbs is in Sherlock, but not in Broadchurch, I'm afraid, Rob.

0:05:240:05:27

-We will see you tomorrow.

-OK.

0:05:270:05:29

Question number three.

0:05:300:05:32

Everyone has gone for B, the Andes, except Sai,

0:05:440:05:50

who has done a bit of a Dan.

0:05:500:05:52

Yeah. Pretty much.

0:05:520:05:54

So let's see if B, the Andes, is correct.

0:05:540:05:57

It is. So a point to everyone who went for the Andes.

0:05:570:06:01

Sai, we're now hoping...

0:06:010:06:02

I don't know. Alps is a mountain, isn't it?

0:06:020:06:05

-Yeah.

-Well, come on, Rick. Don't do me like that.

0:06:050:06:08

-Shall I put you out of your misery?

-Please do.

0:06:080:06:11

OK. Let's find out the impossible answer.

0:06:110:06:13

The Antilles.

0:06:150:06:17

So you narrowly escaped, Sai. No point, but you survive.

0:06:170:06:20

OK. The impossible answer there was the Antilles,

0:06:200:06:23

a group of Caribbean islands. Question number four.

0:06:230:06:26

So we've got a lot of Cs, Multiply.

0:06:390:06:42

A fair number of As, and then one Minus.

0:06:420:06:46

Let's find the right answer.

0:06:460:06:49

It was C, Multiply. So a point to all of you, well done.

0:06:490:06:52

Shirley, did you have a little guess here?

0:06:520:06:55

I did but I was so anxious to get...

0:06:550:06:57

-It's important to be quick.

-I shall remember that.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:06:570:07:00

-That will come in handy.

-Must try harder.

-Well, we don't know yet.

0:07:000:07:04

-You might not have given the impossible answer.

-Oh, right, OK.

0:07:040:07:07

You might not have done.

0:07:070:07:08

Let's see if you have. The impossible answer was...

0:07:080:07:11

You have. He hasn't yet recorded an album called Minus.

0:07:140:07:18

Thinking about it, it seems very unlikely, you know?

0:07:180:07:20

Actually, he's done Plus, he's done Multiply, he's just done Divide.

0:07:200:07:23

The next one, inevitably, is going to be Minus, but he hasn't done it

0:07:230:07:26

-yet, I'm afraid.

-That doesn't sound like a very good seller, does it?

0:07:260:07:29

To call your album Minus, it's a bit negative, isn't it?

0:07:290:07:32

That's a good point.

0:07:320:07:35

Give Ed a call and say, "From a marketing point of view,

0:07:350:07:38

-"we've been having a think, I'd leave Minus."

-OK.

0:07:380:07:41

Shirley, we'll see you tomorrow.

0:07:410:07:43

Going into the final question in this round. 20 players left in.

0:07:440:07:48

Half of you are on four points.

0:07:480:07:51

Question number five.

0:07:510:07:53

So an awful lot of you have gone with A, Christian Bale.

0:08:060:08:09

Got a few Kilmers, and just the one Cavill.

0:08:090:08:13

Let's first reveal the impossible answer.

0:08:130:08:16

Henry Cavill has never played Batman.

0:08:180:08:21

He did play Superman in those films.

0:08:210:08:23

Jason, I'm afraid...

0:08:230:08:25

-It's goodnight, Vienna.

-It is goodnight, Vienna.

0:08:250:08:27

Assuming you like to be called Vienna.

0:08:270:08:30

-On occasion.

-We'll see you tomorrow, Vienna.

0:08:300:08:33

So let's have a look at the right answer.

0:08:350:08:37

A, Christian Bale.

0:08:370:08:39

So a point to everyone who put that.

0:08:390:08:42

So at the end of that very high performing round,

0:08:420:08:45

nine of you are on five points,

0:08:450:08:47

which means it comes down

0:08:470:08:49

to who locked in their answers the quickest.

0:08:490:08:52

I can tell you it was very close,

0:08:520:08:55

but that person was Angela.

0:08:550:08:58

Congratulations.

0:08:580:09:00

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

0:09:000:09:03

APPLAUSE

0:09:030:09:08

-So, Angela.

-Hi.

-Congratulations.

0:09:080:09:10

-Thank you.

-The pack were hot on your heels there.

0:09:100:09:13

-Yeah.

-But you won through. How are you feeling?

-Nervous.

0:09:130:09:16

-Good to be nervous. Focuses the mind.

-Yeah.

0:09:160:09:19

-What would you spend the money on?

-Probably New York.

0:09:190:09:22

It was my 40th last year and I'd always wanted to go and that was the

0:09:220:09:27

dream. I just couldn't afford it.

0:09:270:09:29

I wanted to go with, like, a group of the girls.

0:09:290:09:32

If I was lucky enough to win the big money then I would take a few of

0:09:320:09:35

-my besties away to New York.

-Lovely. Get to the Big Apple.

0:09:350:09:37

-Well, let's get down to business.

-Thank you.

-This is your chance to

0:09:370:09:40

put up to £500 into the daily prize pot

0:09:400:09:43

-and take a big step towards that £10,000 question.

-Shiny, shiny.

0:09:430:09:48

I'm going to give you a choice of four topics, and the topics are...

0:09:480:09:53

Anything grab you there?

0:10:010:10:03

-I think I'll risk it on books and literature.

-Books and literature?

0:10:030:10:06

-Yeah.

-So here's how it works.

0:10:060:10:08

First I'm going to reveal nine answers. They are...

0:10:080:10:12

-OK.

-Any familiarity?

0:10:240:10:26

Yeah, I think it's The Canterbury Tales.

0:10:260:10:29

OK. We're going to see the first half of a question. And that is...

0:10:290:10:34

-This is good.

-It's good if you know them.

0:10:370:10:40

-We're going to find out if you do.

-Yeah.

-Five of those answers

0:10:400:10:43

are impossible because they aren't pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales.

0:10:430:10:48

-OK.

-So your first job is to find those impossible answers and lose

0:10:480:10:51

-them from the grid.

-OK.

-You've got five guesses and each one

0:10:510:10:55

that you eliminate correctly, because they are impossible,

0:10:550:10:58

adds £100 to the prize pot.

0:10:580:11:00

-Where do you want to start?

-I'll say...

0:11:000:11:03

-The Jeweller.

-Let's lock in The Jeweller.

0:11:030:11:07

What's your thinking?

0:11:070:11:09

I don't really have thinking,

0:11:090:11:10

I just think there's a couple that I know and that one doesn't sound very

0:11:100:11:15

"olde worlde", shall we say?

0:11:150:11:18

-We shall say.

-It's a total guess.

0:11:180:11:20

So we think The Jeweller isn't olde worlde enough.

0:11:200:11:23

Is The Jeweller an impossible answer?

0:11:230:11:27

Yes, it is.

0:11:270:11:28

-Great start.

-Good start.

-£100 into the prize pot.

0:11:280:11:31

-Where next?

-The Knight.

0:11:310:11:33

-Knight.

-Yeah.

0:11:330:11:35

OK, let's lock in The Knight.

0:11:350:11:37

-What's going on up here?

-I just, I really don't know.

0:11:370:11:40

-There is no rhyme nor reason to it.

-OK.

-I'm just going to go with gut.

0:11:400:11:43

So, going with gut, is The Knight an impossible answer?

0:11:430:11:47

I'm afraid not.

0:11:490:11:51

-My gut is rubbish.

-He was a pilgrim. Contrary to what your gut thought.

0:11:510:11:55

-OK. Where next?

-The Bishop.

-OK, let's lock in the Bishop.

0:11:550:12:00

If the Bishop is an impossible answer you put another £100

0:12:000:12:03

into the prize pot.

0:12:030:12:05

It is.

0:12:050:12:07

So £200 now. Two more goes.

0:12:070:12:10

Let's see if we can eliminate another couple

0:12:100:12:13

-of impossible answers.

-OK. I'm going to take out The Archer.

0:12:130:12:16

OK, let's lock in The Archer. Give him a taste of his own medicine.

0:12:160:12:19

-Absolutely.

-Confident?

0:12:190:12:22

-Mildly.

-Let's see if that mild confidence is well-placed.

0:12:220:12:26

Is The Archer an impossible answer?

0:12:260:12:29

It is. He is gone.

0:12:290:12:31

So £300 in the prize pot. One go remaining.

0:12:310:12:34

I don't know.

0:12:340:12:35

-The Blacksmith. Just go for it.

-OK. Let's lock in The Blacksmith.

0:12:350:12:39

Agonising over that one. Let's see if you've agonised correctly.

0:12:390:12:43

Is The Blacksmith impossible?

0:12:430:12:44

It is. Pretty good.

0:12:460:12:48

-Thank you.

-But will you be playing for that money and for a shot at the

0:12:480:12:53

£10,000 question in today's final?

0:12:530:12:55

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

0:12:550:12:58

I'm now looking for the right answer.

0:12:580:13:00

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

0:13:000:13:03

-OK.

-If you give a wrong answer, the next quickest player will have

0:13:030:13:06

a chance to steal your place in the final. It was unbelievably tight,

0:13:060:13:11

but I can reveal that that was Jen.

0:13:110:13:15

So, get ready, Jen.

0:13:150:13:19

Jen looks flustered. But that might just be an act.

0:13:190:13:23

If you give me an impossible answer, and we do know there is still one

0:13:230:13:26

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

0:13:260:13:30

-OK.

-Ready to see the full question?

-Yes.

-OK.

0:13:300:13:34

-Oh.

-Oh, is right.

0:13:420:13:44

I have a guess on what it could be,

0:13:440:13:47

but I'm not willing to risk that being impossible so...

0:13:470:13:51

The Miller is definitely one of The Canterbury Tales.

0:13:510:13:54

Well, I'm almost positive it is so I'm just going to say The Miller.

0:13:540:13:58

-The Miller.

-So, Angela is going with The Miller.

0:13:580:14:01

Is The Miller the right answer, for a place in the final?

0:14:010:14:04

It is!

0:14:060:14:07

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:070:14:10

-I didn't know that!

-A look of surprise on your face!

0:14:100:14:13

-I didn't know that.

-Fantastic.

-Yeah, great. Thank you.

-If you had been

0:14:130:14:16

going for the right answer, which one would you have gone for?

0:14:160:14:19

I had an inkling based on the story that it could have been

0:14:190:14:22

The Court Jester, but I wasn't convinced there was a court jester.

0:14:220:14:25

-I can tell you...

-Yeah.

-It's lucky you didn't go for that.

0:14:250:14:27

-Really?

-There is no court jester.

0:14:270:14:29

Court Jester was the remaining impossible. Well, well done, Angela.

0:14:290:14:32

-You are through to the final.

-Thank you very much.

0:14:320:14:35

APPLAUSE

0:14:350:14:40

So, still two places left in today's final alongside Angela.

0:14:400:14:44

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

0:14:440:14:46

18 of you left, so the odds are improving.

0:14:460:14:49

-Are you all ready? ALL:

-Yeah.

0:14:490:14:52

OK. Good luck, everyone. Here is your first question.

0:14:520:14:54

Oh, dear. A bit of giggling. A little bit of giggling.

0:15:080:15:12

So everyone has gone for B, Fifty Shades Darker.

0:15:120:15:16

Let's hope it's the right answer.

0:15:160:15:19

It is. So points to everyone.

0:15:190:15:21

No one tempted by Fifty Shades Harder. That was the impossible.

0:15:210:15:25

Everyone on a point. On to question two.

0:15:250:15:29

Well, now. Everyone's gone for B.

0:15:430:15:45

Let's see if B, macrame, is the right answer.

0:15:450:15:49

It is. A point to everyone. This is a very jolly round, isn't it?

0:15:490:15:54

Everyone just breezing through, teamwork.

0:15:540:15:57

The impossible answer...

0:15:570:15:59

-John, what was it?

-Pastrami.

0:15:590:16:01

-Pastrami because?

-It's a meat-based dish.

0:16:010:16:04

It is, thinly sliced smoked beef.

0:16:040:16:08

Question number three. Everyone on two points.

0:16:080:16:11

Remember, how quickly you lock these answers in might well be crucial.

0:16:110:16:15

Question three.

0:16:150:16:17

Now, again, the majority have gone with A, ichthyology.

0:16:280:16:33

But we have now split the pack because we have a speleology

0:16:330:16:37

and a herpetology. Let's reveal the right answer.

0:16:370:16:41

It is A, ichthyology. So a point to all of you.

0:16:420:16:46

Well done. It means that Les and Wisdom

0:16:460:16:49

are crossing their fingers.

0:16:490:16:51

Les. You went for herpetology.

0:16:510:16:55

I'm not very good on my ologies.

0:16:550:16:56

-Ah.

-And ichthyology sounded like a skin disorder.

0:16:560:17:00

So I didn't go for that.

0:17:000:17:01

So you went for herpetology, which you thought sounded like...?

0:17:010:17:04

-I'm not even going to say!

-OK.

0:17:040:17:07

-Wisdom. Speleology. How are your ologies?

-I don't know.

0:17:070:17:11

I just went for the one that looked species related.

0:17:110:17:15

It sounds like good thinking, but was it?

0:17:150:17:18

The impossible answer was...

0:17:180:17:19

I'm afraid it was speleology.

0:17:210:17:25

Which is the study or exploration of caves.

0:17:250:17:28

-I knew that.

-Well, maybe do a bit of that tonight,

0:17:280:17:32

and a bit of soul-searching and we'll see you tomorrow.

0:17:320:17:35

Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians, Les.

0:17:350:17:39

-Ah, right.

-Question number four.

0:17:390:17:42

Got quite a lot of John Surtees, Bs out there.

0:17:540:17:57

But we've also got Brabhams and Moss.

0:17:570:18:00

I can tell you that the right answer was...

0:18:000:18:03

John Surtees, B. So a point to all of you.

0:18:030:18:06

Andrew, you went for A, Jack Brabham.

0:18:060:18:10

I did, yes. It was a guess.

0:18:100:18:12

-Sai, you went for Stirling Moss.

-To be fair, my dad would be really

0:18:120:18:16

disappointed in me because he's a big F1 fan.

0:18:160:18:18

I never, ever cared to pay attention when he was watching it.

0:18:180:18:21

Just Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher and Patrik Schumacher.

0:18:210:18:25

Those are the only guys from F1 that I know.

0:18:250:18:27

-And I think, to be fair, you made one of them up.

-Clearly. Clearly.

0:18:270:18:32

OK, let's see. We will, obviously, be saying goodbye to one of you.

0:18:320:18:36

Let's see who. The impossible answer...

0:18:360:18:39

Stirling Moss.

0:18:400:18:43

Which means that Sai, Lesley and Dan, we have to say goodbye to you.

0:18:430:18:48

Stirling Moss never won the Formula One World Championship.

0:18:480:18:52

-Which your dad would know, Sai.

-I hope so.

0:18:520:18:55

We'll see you all tomorrow.

0:18:550:18:56

Going into the final question of this round,

0:18:580:19:00

we have seven of you on four points.

0:19:000:19:03

Question number five.

0:19:030:19:05

All answers represented here.

0:19:150:19:17

Mal, you went for Christopher Walken.

0:19:170:19:20

A lot of people did. Walter Walken.

0:19:200:19:22

I know, I just realised it sounds ridiculous.

0:19:220:19:24

Maybe that's why he changed it.

0:19:240:19:26

-Possibly.

-Bob, sitting next to Mal there, he went for John McEnroe.

0:19:260:19:29

Well, I know John McEnroe was born in Germany when his parents were

0:19:290:19:33

in the American Air Force. So that was the main reason, really.

0:19:330:19:36

And, Colette, you went for Bruce Willis.

0:19:360:19:39

I didn't think it was John McEnroe or Christopher Walken so I'll stick

0:19:390:19:44

-with Bruce.

-OK, sticking with Bruce.

0:19:440:19:46

Let's first reveal the impossible answer.

0:19:460:19:50

It was A, Christopher Walken,

0:19:530:19:55

which means we have to say goodbye to quite a lot of you.

0:19:550:19:58

Christopher Walken was born in the US and his real name

0:19:580:20:01

was Ronald Walken.

0:20:010:20:03

So goodbye to... Well, loads of you.

0:20:030:20:07

So that means just three of you left on four points now.

0:20:070:20:11

Let's reveal the right answer.

0:20:110:20:14

It's Bruce Willis. Also a Forces baby.

0:20:140:20:16

Christened Walter Bruce Willis. So that means a point to all of you.

0:20:160:20:20

Bob, you were close but no point, I'm afraid.

0:20:200:20:23

So that means that two of you finish the round on five points -

0:20:230:20:27

John and Mike.

0:20:270:20:29

And the quickest to lock in their answers was John.

0:20:290:20:33

Congratulations. You have a chance

0:20:330:20:35

to grab the second place in today's final.

0:20:350:20:38

So, a bit of a bloodbath on that last question, John.

0:20:410:20:44

You came through unscathed.

0:20:440:20:46

-Feeling good?

-I'm feeling fairly confident.

0:20:460:20:50

What would you spend that money on?

0:20:500:20:51

Well, I've just retired, so I find myself with time on my hands,

0:20:510:20:56

so I feel a puppy or two is on the horizon.

0:20:560:20:59

£10,000 will certainly buy me one of them

0:20:590:21:02

plus all its future vet bills and college fees and things.

0:21:020:21:05

Yeah, lovely to send them to college.

0:21:050:21:07

Well, you don't want an uneducated one.

0:21:070:21:09

-OK. Shall we get down to business?

-Absolutely.

-All right.

0:21:090:21:12

You have a choice of three topics. They are...

0:21:120:21:15

-Which do you fancy?

-Well, definitely not nursery rhymes. I would

0:21:190:21:23

say music is a strong one for me but it depends on the genre. If it's too

0:21:230:21:26

modern I'd be struggling, so I'm not going to risk that.

0:21:260:21:29

-I think I'll go for geography.

-Geography. OK.

0:21:290:21:33

So I'm going to show you nine answers. Here they are on geography.

0:21:330:21:37

I'm now going to show you the first half of the question.

0:21:490:21:52

So five of those are impossible.

0:21:560:21:58

How are you feeling? You pulled a slight face.

0:21:580:22:00

Yeah, I've got my eye on a couple that I think are,

0:22:000:22:05

but my knowledge of American states is a bit sketchy.

0:22:050:22:09

-Been to America?

-I have, I've been to Florida.

0:22:090:22:12

-But it's not on there.

-No. If only.

-Yeah.

0:22:120:22:15

So you're going to try and find those impossible answers and then

0:22:150:22:18

remove them from the board. Each one you successfully remove will add

0:22:180:22:22

£100 to the daily prize pot, which already stands at £400,

0:22:220:22:25

thanks to Angela.

0:22:250:22:27

-Where would you like to start?

-Well, I have also been to Wyoming,

0:22:270:22:30

I've been skiing in Jackson Hole, and I think it was in the middle

0:22:300:22:33

somewhere, so I don't think that borders Canada, so I'll say Wyoming.

0:22:330:22:36

Let's lock in Wyoming.

0:22:360:22:38

You've been skiing there, don't think it borders Canada.

0:22:380:22:41

Is Wyoming an impossible answer?

0:22:410:22:43

It is. Lovely start, £100 to the prize pot.

0:22:450:22:49

And I think Maryland is up the east coast in the middle somewhere.

0:22:490:22:54

-I'll say Maryland.

-Let's lock in Maryland.

0:22:540:22:57

Let's see if Maryland is an impossible answer,

0:22:570:22:59

for another £100 in the prize pot.

0:22:590:23:01

It is. Very good. Doesn't border Canada.

0:23:040:23:06

I think Iowa is in the middle as well.

0:23:060:23:09

There is no real Southern ones, are there? So I'm stuck with the middle.

0:23:090:23:12

-Iowa.

-Let's lock in Iowa.

0:23:120:23:14

If Iowa is an impossible answer that will be three from three and £300

0:23:140:23:18

added to the prize pot.

0:23:180:23:20

-Pretty good, John.

-So far.

0:23:220:23:25

And I think West Virginia, that's got to be pretty Southern, I think.

0:23:250:23:29

-West Virginia.

-Is West Virginia an impossible answer?

0:23:290:23:33

Yes, it is. Four from four. £400 added to the prize pot.

0:23:340:23:37

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

0:23:370:23:40

Now it's tricky. I think I'll say New Hampshire as the last one.

0:23:400:23:45

Let's lock in New Hampshire. Any thoughts about New Hampshire?

0:23:450:23:49

Well, again, I think it's the New England sort of states

0:23:490:23:52

on the East Coast but I don't know how far up the coast it is.

0:23:520:23:55

This for a full house. Is New Hampshire an impossible answer?

0:23:550:23:59

It isn't, I'm afraid. It does border Canada.

0:23:590:24:03

Nevertheless, £400 added to the prize pot which now stands at £800,

0:24:030:24:07

but we need to find out if you are going to be playing for that money

0:24:070:24:10

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

0:24:100:24:13

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

0:24:130:24:16

I'm now looking for the right answer. Find it,

0:24:160:24:18

you're in the final. If you give me a wrong answer, the next best player

0:24:180:24:22

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

0:24:220:24:25

and that was...Mike.

0:24:250:24:29

Don't pout, Mike.

0:24:290:24:30

LAUGHTER

0:24:300:24:32

You were confident on American states bordering Canada, Mike?

0:24:320:24:36

Yeah, roughly. Of all the kind of topics, yeah, this is one I prefer.

0:24:360:24:40

Well, now. Waiting eagerly in the wings.

0:24:400:24:44

If you were to give me an impossible answer, John,

0:24:440:24:46

and we do know there is still one up there,

0:24:460:24:48

you will be eliminated from today's show. Shall we have a look at

0:24:480:24:51

-the full question?

-Yes, please.

-All right.

0:24:510:24:54

It's between two, for me, but one of them might be an impossible one.

0:25:010:25:07

I'm pretty sure...

0:25:070:25:09

One of those two is Montana

0:25:090:25:12

and I'm pretty sure that's a frosty wasteland

0:25:120:25:15

near Canada, so I'll guess Montana.

0:25:150:25:18

Let's lock it in. So we're hoping Montana is in the frosty wasteland

0:25:180:25:22

and has the capital Helena.

0:25:220:25:24

-Hope so.

-If it is, you're in the final.

0:25:240:25:28

Is the state capital of Montana Helena?

0:25:280:25:32

It is!

0:25:340:25:36

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

0:25:360:25:38

The last remaining impossible, any idea?

0:25:380:25:41

-New York?

-No, actually. It's Oregon.

-Oregon.

0:25:410:25:44

It's Oregon. Doesn't matter.

0:25:440:25:46

-You're through to the final. Take your place.

-Thank you.

0:25:460:25:49

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:25:490:25:52

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

0:25:550:25:58

Let's find out who it's going to be. Only five players remaining.

0:25:580:26:02

Great opportunity for one of you. Are you ready?

0:26:020:26:05

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-All right. Good luck.

0:26:050:26:07

Here's your first question.

0:26:070:26:08

So split between Yvette Cooper and Caroline Lucas.

0:26:200:26:23

Colette, how are you feeling?

0:26:230:26:25

I knew it's not Maria Eagle, but wasn't sure between the other two.

0:26:250:26:29

Let's see if you've managed to avoid the impossible answer.

0:26:290:26:32

I'm afraid you didn't.

0:26:350:26:36

Caroline Lucas not a Labour MP. She's the Green Party's only MP.

0:26:360:26:41

Colette and Andrew, we have to say goodbye to you.

0:26:410:26:44

Which means only three of you left. You all put Yvette Cooper.

0:26:440:26:48

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

0:26:480:26:51

It is. So a point to Bob, Flic and Mike. Question number two.

0:26:510:26:55

So all three of you have gone for B, Wigan Warriors.

0:27:080:27:11

-Mike, you play a bit of rugby league, don't you?

-I do, yeah.

0:27:110:27:14

-Feeling good about this?

-I'd be shot down by my friends if I didn't

0:27:140:27:17

-get this right.

-Yeah. Let's see if you have given the right answer,

0:27:170:27:20

along with everyone else.

0:27:200:27:22

You have. Do you want to fill in the rest? Tell me a bit about

0:27:220:27:25

-Warrington Wolves, Mike?

-Always the bridesmaid, never the bride,

0:27:250:27:28

I'm afraid. Often win the cup, but they haven't won the league in many

0:27:280:27:31

-years. But their time will come.

-And the impossible answer?

0:27:310:27:34

-Wycombe Wanderers.

-Football team.

0:27:340:27:37

That was the impossible answer.

0:27:370:27:39

Question number three.

0:27:410:27:43

Once again, all three of you have gone with the same answer, A, Porto.

0:27:550:27:59

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

0:27:590:28:02

It is. A point to all of you.

0:28:020:28:04

We cannot separate you.

0:28:040:28:06

Yet. The impossible answer was C, Toledo.

0:28:060:28:11

Toledo, of course, in Spain. Question number four.

0:28:110:28:15

At last, you haven't all given the same answer.

0:28:300:28:33

-Flic, how are you feeling about that?

-I was once described as having

0:28:330:28:36

less culture than yoghurt so this is not my area of expertise at all.

0:28:360:28:41

So I was going for the one that sort of sounded nice.

0:28:410:28:46

Let's see if your lack of confidence is appropriate.

0:28:460:28:49

The right answer...

0:28:490:28:52

is A, The Thinker.

0:28:520:28:54

The Gates Of Hell also included the sculpture The Kiss.

0:28:540:28:57

A point to Bob and a point to Mike.

0:28:570:28:59

Now we're hoping you haven't given an impossible answer, Flic.

0:28:590:29:02

Would yoghurt have given an impossible answer?

0:29:020:29:05

It might have had a better chance.

0:29:050:29:07

So let's reveal the impossible answer.

0:29:070:29:10

-Oh.

-You've avoided it.

0:29:120:29:14

The Persistence Of Memory is by Salvador Dali.

0:29:140:29:16

-It's the old floppy watches.

-I'll know next time.

0:29:160:29:19

You will. You will.

0:29:190:29:21

The Three Graces, as you know, Flic,

0:29:210:29:23

is a 19th-century sculpture by Canova.

0:29:230:29:26

OK, last question in this round.

0:29:260:29:28

Bob and Mike tied on four points but still all to play for, Flic.

0:29:280:29:32

You can catch them. Question number five.

0:29:320:29:35

Not unanimous again.

0:29:460:29:47

Bob and Flic have gone with Radiohead.

0:29:470:29:49

Mike has gone with Motorhead. Motorhead fan, Mike?

0:29:490:29:53

Not convinced on this one.

0:29:530:29:56

-Bob?

-I think I've gone wrong. I think it's Motorhead now.

-Do you?

0:29:560:30:00

-Flic?

-I know it's not Eraserhead, so...

0:30:000:30:02

I mean, no one thinks they've got the right answer, basically.

0:30:020:30:06

OK. Let's first of all reveal the impossible answer.

0:30:060:30:10

It is Eraserhead. You were right, Flic, couldn't be that.

0:30:120:30:15

It's a David Lynch film.

0:30:150:30:16

So this to establish who is going to come down and play the grid.

0:30:160:30:19

The right answer...

0:30:190:30:20

..is Radiohead.

0:30:220:30:24

Thought I'd got that wrong.

0:30:240:30:25

Which means Flic and Bob both get a point,

0:30:250:30:28

which takes Bob to a full house, five points.

0:30:280:30:31

Meaning congratulations,

0:30:310:30:32

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

0:30:320:30:35

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:30:350:30:38

So, Bob. Narrowly missed out on a chance at the £10,000 question

0:30:380:30:43

yesterday, as Ashley pipped you in the final.

0:30:430:30:46

-That was just a warm up.

-Yeah, yeah.

-How are you feeling today?

-So-so.

0:30:460:30:50

-Apprehensive.

-So-so. Apprehensive. OK.

0:30:500:30:53

-Where would you like to start?

-So, with four grandchildren -

0:30:530:30:55

four lovely grandchildren, I might add -

0:30:550:30:57

-I've got to go for nursery rhymes, haven't I?

-So nursery rhymes?

0:30:570:31:01

-Nursery rhymes, please.

-OK. So you're going to see nine answers,

0:31:010:31:05

and they are...

0:31:050:31:07

-Ringing any bells?

-No.

-Ah.

0:31:190:31:22

Maybe this will help. This is the first half of the question.

0:31:220:31:26

So five answers there are impossible because they're not in the nursery

0:31:300:31:36

rhyme Solomon Grundy. You need to find those impossible answers,

0:31:360:31:39

get them off the board. You've got five goes and each impossible answer

0:31:390:31:43

you eliminate will add £100 to the prize pot.

0:31:430:31:47

Where would you like to start?

0:31:470:31:49

-Engaged.

-OK. Let's lock in Engaged.

0:31:490:31:52

I mean, first and foremost, do you know Solomon Grundy?

0:31:520:31:55

-Slightly.

-Slightly.

-Yeah. I'm not on personal terms with him.

0:31:550:31:59

But enough to know that Engaged isn't in there?

0:31:590:32:02

-I don't think it is.

-So is Engaged an impossible answer?

0:32:020:32:05

Yes, it is. £100 added to the prize pot.

0:32:070:32:10

Where would you like to go next? I don't think he overslept.

0:32:100:32:13

So we'd like to lock in Overslept.

0:32:130:32:15

As long as he didn't, that's another £100 in the prize pot.

0:32:150:32:18

Is Overslept an impossible answer?

0:32:180:32:20

Yes, it is. £200 added to the pot.

0:32:210:32:24

-Going well.

-I don't think he graduated.

0:32:240:32:27

OK. Disrespectful, but OK.

0:32:270:32:29

Did Solomon Grundy graduate?

0:32:290:32:32

Let's lock in Graduated.

0:32:320:32:34

Is that an impossible answer?

0:32:340:32:36

He never graduated. £300.

0:32:380:32:40

Going along very nicely.

0:32:400:32:42

I think Chilled is too modern a word

0:32:420:32:44

for a rhyme as old as Solomon Grundy. So I don't think he chilled.

0:32:440:32:48

So let's lock in Chilled.

0:32:480:32:50

You feel like Chilled is more of a kind of modern term.

0:32:500:32:52

-I think so, yeah.

-OK. Is Chilled an impossible answer?

0:32:520:32:56

It is. Chilled, of course, is what Craig David did on Sunday.

0:32:590:33:02

-That's right.

-After a very hectic week.

0:33:020:33:05

-Now I'm struggling now between two.

-So one more go.

0:33:050:33:08

Added £400 to the prize pot so far.

0:33:080:33:11

-I'm going to go Divorced.

-So let's lock in Divorced.

0:33:110:33:15

Is Divorced an impossible answer?

0:33:150:33:17

-It is. Well done, Bob.

-Thank you.

-Five from five.

0:33:190:33:22

£500 added to the prize pot,

0:33:220:33:24

which now stands at £1,300.

0:33:240:33:27

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

0:33:270:33:30

-And I'm now looking for the right answer.

-All right.

-Find it,

0:33:300:33:34

take your place in the final alongside John and Angela.

0:33:340:33:37

If you give a wrong answer, the next best player has the chance to steal

0:33:370:33:40

your place in the final. As always, that player is Mike.

0:33:400:33:45

What is your Solomon Grundy like?

0:33:450:33:47

I think I know the next line, after his name, and that's it.

0:33:470:33:50

That's quite encouraging for you, I think. You are in a strong position

0:33:500:33:53

here because you have got rid of all the impossible answers so none left

0:33:530:33:57

to trip you up. Let's have a look at the full question.

0:33:570:34:00

-I'd go for Married.

-Married. You said that with some conviction, Bob.

0:34:070:34:11

Well, if he was born on Sunday so he would be christened on the Monday,

0:34:110:34:14

Tuesday. He couldn't be buried before he were married,

0:34:140:34:16

-so that's the logical way through.

-Let's lock in Married.

0:34:160:34:20

If Married is the right answer,

0:34:200:34:22

you will take your place in the final for the second day in a row.

0:34:220:34:26

Is Married the right answer?

0:34:260:34:29

Yes, it is. Congratulations.

0:34:310:34:33

-You've grabbed the last place in today's final.

-Thank you.

0:34:330:34:36

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:34:360:34:39

For the rest of you, I'm afraid victory today proved impossible,

0:34:430:34:47

but we will be seeing you all again tomorrow. Bye.

0:34:470:34:50

-ALL:

-Bye.

0:34:500:34:51

But for Angela, John and Bob, it's time for the final.

0:34:510:34:54

So, Angela, John and Bob,

0:34:580:35:01

you've managed to put £1,300 into today's prize pot.

0:35:010:35:04

Only one of you can win that money, though, and earn the right to face

0:35:040:35:09

the £10,000 question.

0:35:090:35:11

So we're playing for, Angela, you would be going to New York.

0:35:110:35:14

-New York, yeah.

-As a sort of late 40th celebration.

0:35:140:35:16

Don't say late 40s. It makes me sound ancient.

0:35:160:35:18

No, late 40th celebration.

0:35:180:35:20

-Yeah, that's it.

-As in a late celebration of your 40th.

-Yes.

0:35:200:35:24

John, you're going to get some highly educated puppies.

0:35:240:35:26

-Indeed.

-And, Bob, you're going to go to Australia.

0:35:260:35:29

That was yesterday. I might go somewhere else today.

0:35:290:35:31

Bored of Australia already.

0:35:310:35:33

Where are you thinking now? The world is your oyster.

0:35:330:35:35

-No, no. It'll be Australia.

-OK, still Australia.

0:35:350:35:39

You each start with ten lives. Questions are on the buzzer.

0:35:390:35:42

Most of the questions are normal, straightforward ones with normal,

0:35:420:35:45

straightforward answers. Buzz and get one right and you'll knock

0:35:450:35:48

a life off each of your opponents,

0:35:480:35:50

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

0:35:500:35:53

However, some of the questions are impossible which means there is no

0:35:530:35:57

answer. The question doesn't make any sense.

0:35:570:35:59

It's preposterous. So, for example, which member of The Beatles went on

0:35:590:36:03

to have a solo UK hit with Careless Whisper? It was a hit for

0:36:030:36:06

George Michael, wasn't in The Beatles,

0:36:060:36:08

that's an impossible question. If you think you've spotted one of

0:36:080:36:12

these, all you've got to do is buzz in and say impossible.

0:36:120:36:14

That's really bad news for your opponents because

0:36:140:36:16

they both lose two lives.

0:36:160:36:18

But if you say that the question is impossible when it isn't,

0:36:180:36:21

or you give any other answer to an impossible question,

0:36:210:36:24

you will lose two lives.

0:36:240:36:27

The last player standing takes the £1,300. Best of luck.

0:36:270:36:31

In 2016, which British football pundit presented Match Of The Day

0:36:310:36:35

in just his pants?

0:36:350:36:37

-John.

-Gary Lineker.

-It was Gary Lineker.

0:36:370:36:40

That's a life from Angela and a life from Bob.

0:36:400:36:43

In the modern Greek alphabet which letter comes directly after omega?

0:36:430:36:48

-Bob.

-Impossible.

-It is impossible.

0:36:480:36:50

-Omega is the last letter.

-It is.

0:36:500:36:52

Two lives off Angela and two lives off John.

0:36:520:36:57

A species of parrot called the Norwegian Blue

0:36:570:37:01

featured in a famous...

0:37:010:37:02

-Bob.

-Monty Python.

-..in a famous sketch by which comedy troupe?

0:37:020:37:05

It was Monty Python. John and Angela both lose another life.

0:37:050:37:09

Good stuff from Bob. Who was the first UK Prime Minister

0:37:090:37:13

in the 20th century to win three consecutive terms?

0:37:130:37:17

-John.

-Impossible.

0:37:170:37:19

It's not. It was Margaret Thatcher.

0:37:190:37:21

You lose two lives, John.

0:37:210:37:24

Taking you down to five, Angela on six and Bob riding high on nine.

0:37:240:37:30

Which Scottish actor has appeared in both the films Shallow Grave

0:37:300:37:34

and Brassed Off?

0:37:340:37:36

-Bob.

-Ewan McGregor.

-It was Ewan McGregor.

0:37:360:37:38

Another life from Angela and John.

0:37:380:37:40

Need to rally here, guys.

0:37:400:37:42

Who sings lead vocals on The Shadows' UK number one hit...

0:37:420:37:46

-Bob.

-Impossible.

-..hit Apache. It is impossible.

0:37:460:37:50

It's an instrumental. Another two lives from Angela and John.

0:37:500:37:54

Taking John down to two, Angela three, Bob still on nine.

0:37:540:37:59

In chess, how many playing pieces are on the board at the beginning

0:37:590:38:03

of a game?

0:38:030:38:05

-Bob.

-32.

-It is 32.

0:38:050:38:07

John and Angela, you lose a life. John, you're on your last life.

0:38:070:38:10

Angela, you've got two remaining.

0:38:100:38:12

Bob sitting quite pretty, actually, on nine.

0:38:120:38:16

Which bird is depicted on the national flag of New Zealand?

0:38:160:38:20

-John.

-Impossible.

-It is impossible.

0:38:200:38:23

Doesn't feature a bird. That means Bob loses two lives.

0:38:230:38:27

And, unfortunately, Angela, you lose your last two lives and you are out.

0:38:270:38:31

-Thank you.

-John, you're clinging on

0:38:310:38:35

with one life. Bob down to seven.

0:38:350:38:38

Which Dudley born co-founder of Comic Relief was knighted...

0:38:380:38:42

-Bob.

-Lenny Henry.

-Was Sir Lenny Henry. Knighted in 2015.

0:38:420:38:46

That means, John, you lose your last life and, Bob, you are the winner.

0:38:460:38:50

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:38:500:38:54

Angela and John, we will see you both tomorrow.

0:38:540:38:56

Bob, that was pretty impressive stuff and it's now time to face the

0:38:560:39:01

£10,000 question.

0:39:010:39:02

APPLAUSE

0:39:020:39:05

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

0:39:080:39:12

That's great, but you could be leaving with a whole lot more

0:39:120:39:15

if you can answer the £10,000 question.

0:39:150:39:19

-Are you feeling OK?

-Yeah.

-One step further than yesterday.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:39:190:39:22

Nailed the Solomon Grundy. Your grandkids will be pleased.

0:39:220:39:24

-Yeah, absolutely.

-And now we're just setting our sights on Australia.

0:39:240:39:27

They could be even more pleased in a minute, couldn't they?

0:39:270:39:30

They could be. Absolutely. You're going to be their favourite, Bob.

0:39:300:39:33

This is how it works. I'm going to show you nine answers and then ask

0:39:330:39:37

you a question. Three of the nine answers are correct.

0:39:370:39:40

If you can find them all within ten seconds you will win that £10,000.

0:39:400:39:46

That's the good news. The less good news is that three of the answers

0:39:460:39:49

are wrong. If you pick any of those, you don't win the £10,000.

0:39:490:39:53

And the bad news is that three of the answers are impossible.

0:39:530:39:57

If you give me any of those, you lose the £1,300.

0:39:570:40:01

And I can only accept your first three answers.

0:40:010:40:04

-OK.

-If you fail to give me three answers before the ten seconds has

0:40:040:40:07

elapsed, you also lose the £1,300.

0:40:070:40:10

You only get one shot at the £10,000 question,

0:40:100:40:13

-so whatever happens you are going to be leaving the show today.

-Yeah.

0:40:130:40:16

I'm hoping it's going to be laden with money for your grandkids'

0:40:160:40:20

-pleasure.

-Hopefully.

-So, let's see the topic.

0:40:200:40:23

-Geography. OK. Good luck, Bob.

-Thank you.

0:40:240:40:27

Here are your nine answers.

0:40:270:40:30

And you're looking for...

0:40:450:40:47

And your time starts now.

0:40:500:40:53

Belfast, Armagh, Newry.

0:40:530:40:57

Quick answers, Bob.

0:41:030:41:05

Belfast, Armagh and Newry.

0:41:050:41:09

-Happy?

-Well, I was not sure between Newry and Carrickfergus.

0:41:090:41:12

I'm not sure of any of them, really,

0:41:120:41:14

-to be honest.

-Any of them that you feel good about?

0:41:140:41:16

-I think Belfast is a certainty.

-OK. So you're pretty sure about Belfast.

0:41:160:41:19

Is Belfast a right answer? To stay with a chance of the £10,000.

0:41:190:41:24

It is. One down, two to go.

0:41:260:41:29

You then said Armagh.

0:41:290:41:31

-Yeah.

-Confident in Armagh?

0:41:310:41:33

Not really, no.

0:41:330:41:34

Armagh. Is Armagh a place in Northern Ireland

0:41:340:41:39

that has city status?

0:41:390:41:41

It is.

0:41:430:41:44

Two out of three.

0:41:440:41:46

-You were torn between...

-Newry and Carrickfergus.

0:41:460:41:49

-Do you think you made the right choice?

-I honestly don't know.

0:41:490:41:53

-I honestly don't know, Rick. I hope I did.

-I hope so, too.

0:41:530:41:56

Any that you know are impossible that you can kind of...

0:41:560:41:59

I mean, Tipperary and Tralee are all in southern Ireland.

0:41:590:42:02

I'm not sure if Larne ain't in Scotland. It's a...

0:42:020:42:05

ferry port in Scotland.

0:42:050:42:07

Well, you went with Newry. Let's see if that was the right decision.

0:42:070:42:11

For £10,000, and that trip to Australia for your golden wedding...

0:42:110:42:16

-Yeah.

-..is Newry a city in Northern Ireland?

0:42:160:42:21

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:240:42:28

You leave the show with £10,000, Bob.

0:42:340:42:38

-Thank you.

-Well done.

0:42:380:42:40

Not that it's important, Bob,

0:42:400:42:42

but the impossible answers were Dundalk, Tralee and Tipperary.

0:42:420:42:45

They are all in the Republic. What is important is you've won £10,000

0:42:450:42:49

-and you can go to Australia.

-Thank you very much.

-Congratulations.

0:42:490:42:53

So, Bob leaves with all of that money. The rest of us will be back

0:42:530:42:56

tomorrow when someone else will have the chance to win £10,000.

0:42:560:42:59

This has been !mpossible, the quiz where, actually,

0:42:590:43:02

anything is possible. Goodbye.
