0:00:02 > 0:00:04I'm Rick Edwards and this is !mpossible.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12# !mpossible. #
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Welcome to !mpossible, the quiz with the third dimension.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Most quiz shows have just got right answers and wrong answers, but here,
0:00:21 > 0:00:23we also have impossible answers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26They're not just wrong - they couldn't possibly be right.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Hoping to get lots of right answers whilst dodging those pesky
0:00:29 > 0:00:31impossible answers are 24 players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- Hello, players!- Hello!- Hi!- Hey!- All looking ravishing, as always.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37They're with us for two weeks, and every day,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40one of them will have the chance to unlock this...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- ALL:- Ooh!
0:00:42 > 0:00:48..frankly enormous exclamation mark, filled with 10,000 pound coins.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49At the end of each show,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53one of this marvellous lot will face the final question.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And here it is.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Today's £10,000 question.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Get this right, and the money comes cascading down.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Now, we've had two £10,000 winners in a row -
0:01:06 > 0:01:08can we make it a hat-trick?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- ALL:- Yes!- Yes, we can!
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Today's new player, sitting in Andrew's seat - Andrew, of course,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16took the money yesterday - is Ian.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- How are you, Ian?- I'm fine, Rick, how are you?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Very well indeed, thank you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22What do you do in your spare time, Ian?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24My wife and I have show dogs.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Ah!- Which we show up and down the country.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- How many have you got, Ian?- We have four - two are of showing age.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35We took them to Crufts this year and managed to get two firsts.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Oh, very good.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Are you feeling good about the quiz, Ian?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Yes, I've watched the quiz and I've got the feel for it.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Nice bunch of people.- Couldn't meet a nicer bunch, Ian.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Good luck. Wisdom...
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Now, you are, I understand, a children's entertainer.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Yes.- What is your kind of go-to trick?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I basically get their attention...
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Uh-huh.- And then start making balloons.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- The balloon animals?- Yeah.- I'm assuming that a consummate
0:01:59 > 0:02:04professional, such as yourself, will always have the balloons ready.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Will you make me something? - Yeah, give me two seconds.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Look at that. What an action!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12SCATTERED LAUGHTER
0:02:12 > 0:02:13BALLOON SQUEAKS
0:02:18 > 0:02:19It's a horrible noise, isn't it?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23CHEERING
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Wisdom, take good care of the swan for me.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Are we ready to crack on?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- ALL:- Yes!- OK.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So, you'll face five multiple choice questions, each with three answers.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37The right answer will score you a point,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40the wrong answer will get you nothing.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41But if you choose the impossible answer...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Oh, dear!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46..that immediately knocks you out of today's show,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and you have to try again tomorrow.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51After five questions, the highest scorer gets the first chance to bag
0:02:51 > 0:02:52a place in today's final.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Shall we do it? ALL:- Yes!
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Here is your first question.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11So, we've got an awful lot of Bs, Yellowstones,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and a few Yosemites.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14No Yucatans.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16The right answer was...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20B - Yellowstone. So, a point to all of you.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24So, let's hope that those of you who put Yosemite haven't given the
0:03:24 > 0:03:26impossible answer. The impossible answer was...
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Yucatan, which is an area in Mexico.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35So, everyone through to the second question.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52The right answer...
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Is A, so a point to all of you.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Sai, you went for When Harry Met Sally.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Yeah, I think that's with Dustin Hoffman, now, when I think about it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I don't know, I might be wrong.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06- I think you are, yeah.- Yeah.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Fair enough.- Can you handle the truth, Sai?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I've had to a few times already.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12- You have!- So, yeah.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I think I'm going to have to handle the truth,
0:04:14 > 0:04:15it's probably an impossible.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18The impossible answer is...
0:04:21 > 0:04:25It's C - An Officer And A Gentleman, not a Rob Reiner film, I'm afraid.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Jake, we're going to have to say goodbye to you.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- And also Jen!- I know!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Are you not a film fan as well, Jen? - I am!- Oh, dear!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Embarrassingly!- OK, let's not talk about it, it's fine.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- No, don't!- We'll see you tomorrow.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Question number three.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01The vast majority of you have gone for B - Florence Nightingale.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05So, let's have a look at the right answer.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08It is C - Mary Seacole.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Only Cecilia and Will get a point there.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17Either 19 of you have given an impossible answer, or just Shirley.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I know, Shirley, I know!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- I'm going home!- You might be, but you might not be.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31It was A - Elizabeth Fry.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Which sadly means we're going to have to say goodbye to you again,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Shirley. We'll see you tomorrow.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Elizabeth Fry was a campaigner for prison reform and nursing reform,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43but not actually a nurse herself.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Question number four.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03So, once again, the vast majority have gone for B.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Let's see if that's the right answer.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It is! Matthew's celebrating!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12A point to everyone who went for Makka Pakka.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Now, we have got a few rogue Cs and one A.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Sai?- I've never heard of any of this.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Mm!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Full stop!- You went for Pinga.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I think I was probably thinking of the old character PinGU.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Uh-huh.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Which I think has a U at the end of it,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33and I think I was a child when that was out,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36so I guess I was trying to just stay in the game,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38which I probably haven't.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Let's see if you have managed to stay in the game.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43The impossible answer...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47..is Pinga, I'm sorry, Sai.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Pinga is Pingu's sister.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Ah!- But not in In The Night Garden.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- OK.- We will see you again tomorrow.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Question five.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Most people have gone for B - Rico.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Let's see if that is the right answer.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It is not the right answer!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25C - Tony.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28So, just four of you get a point for that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Rob, you're the only one who went for A - Tommy.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Are you a Manilow fan?- Surprisingly not.- No?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36No, too heavy for me, to be honest.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- You like the softer Motorhead, really.- Yeah, yeah. Laid-back.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41OK. Let's see the impossible answer.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Unfortunately, A - Tommy, too heavy for you, Rob.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Yeah.- We'll have to say goodbye, and we'll see you tomorrow.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Cheers.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Rico is the guy who shoots Tony.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57And Tommy is not in the song.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01So, at the end of that round, only two of you are on four points,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and they are Lesley and Dan.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07A top-row showdown!
0:08:08 > 0:08:12And I can tell you that the quickest to lock in their answers across the
0:08:12 > 0:08:13round...
0:08:13 > 0:08:17was Dan! CHEERING
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Congratulations, Dan!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21You have the chance to grab the first place in today's final!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29So, Dan, down to play a grid - how are you feeling?
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Excited, yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I assume that everyone is a little bit surprised,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36because what you're famous for in the group is the Dan tactic -
0:08:36 > 0:08:38which is not to go for the right answer!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Well, I decided to change it a bit, and it appears to have worked!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's worked out brilliantly!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Have you had a think about what you'd do with the money if you were
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- to get your hands on it?- Certainly, Ibiza next year.- Uh-huh.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52It's one of my mates' 21st, so he wants to do that.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56And then buy a car, but learn to drive it first,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58because that's generally quite important -
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- it's frowned upon if you don't. - Yeah, I think so,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02or get someone to chauffeur you around in your car,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- I suppose.- Oh, yeah, that might work, yeah.- OK, let's focus.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10This is your chance to put up to £500 into the daily prize pot
0:09:10 > 0:09:14and take a big step towards playing the £10,000 question.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- OK.- So, I'm going to give you a choice of four topics.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19What kind of areas would you like to come up?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Sport. I'm also a history student, so probably history.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Well, let's have a look at what the topics are.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Television, books and literature, history and animals.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Ooh.- Well, now, history student...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'm going to have to go with history.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41All right. This is how it's going to work.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I'm going to reveal nine answers.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46And the nine answers are...
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Any of those names familiar?- I'm regretting my choice already!
0:10:04 > 0:10:05OK.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Would you like to see the first half of the question,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- see if that's illuminating at all? - Yes, please.- OK.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It is...
0:10:12 > 0:10:15which 19th-century UK Prime Minister...
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Five of those answers are impossible -
0:10:17 > 0:10:20they couldn't possibly be the answer to that question,
0:10:20 > 0:10:25because they are not UK Prime Ministers of the 19th century.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Your first task is to find those impossibles and get rid of them.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30You'll have five goes,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and each impossible answer that you successfully eliminate adds £100 to
0:10:33 > 0:10:36the daily prize pot. Where would you like to start?
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Well, first, I'd like to get rid of David Lloyd George, on the basis of,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45he was Prime Minister during World War I,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47so that would be 20th century.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49So, yeah, I'd like to lock in David Lloyd George, please.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52OK. Is David Lloyd George an impossible answer?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55- Spot on.- OK.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58A 20th-century Prime Minister.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00So, that's £100 into the prize pot.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02And now it comes to a bit of guesswork.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04George Canning is sticking out to me.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07And I have no idea why, I think maybe he was high up,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09maybe he was a foreign...foreign policy or something.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11So, I'd like to lock in George Canning, please.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14OK. Is George Canning an impossible answer?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Ooh.- Perfect!
0:11:19 > 0:11:22He was high up! But a bit too high up!
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Yes. Too high for me!
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Erm, I don't recognise the name Henry Pelham at all.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So, it's going to have to be that one as well.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Is that an impossible answer?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36It is!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38He was an 18th-century Prime Minister.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Oh!- Two more goes.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Arthur Balfour.- OK.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Is Arthur Balfour an impossible answer?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Yes! He was a 20th-century Prime Minister.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59- One more go.- Something's telling me that Robert Walpole might have been
0:11:59 > 0:12:01one of the first ones.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04So, in that case, if there's been an 18th-century one before,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06that wouldn't be the 19th century.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09But I might have got back completely wrong, but I'll lock it in.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- We'll see.- OK. Is Robert Walpole an impossible answer?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Yes! Generally regarded as the first British Prime Minister.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Well recalled! So, that's £400 into the prize pot.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Doing very nicely, Dan.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28But are you going to be playing for that money and for a shot at the
0:12:28 > 0:12:31£10,000 question in today's final?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- OK.- If you get it, a place in the final is yours.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40If you give me a wrong answer,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44the next best player will have the chance to steal your place in the
0:12:44 > 0:12:48final. I can reveal that this player has a history of stealing places in
0:12:48 > 0:12:50finals. It's Lesley!
0:12:52 > 0:12:53How are you on your Prime Ministers, Lesley?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56This is... I wouldn't want to take away his glory.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I cannot... I've not got a clue.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Mmm. But do you trust her, Dan?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Well... No!
0:13:03 > 0:13:04If you give me an impossible answer,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07and we know there is still one up there, sadly,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10you will be eliminated from today's show.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Ready to see the full question? - I'm ready.- All right.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18Which 19th century UK Prime Minister was assassinated?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I recall one being assassinated, but the problem being,
0:13:22 > 0:13:23I don't recall his name.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- That is a problem.- It is, yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29The two at the bottom, I'm looking at one of them and I'm thinking,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30"Maybe go for one of them."
0:13:30 > 0:13:32But I'm going to go for Spencer Perceval.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Was Spencer Perceval a 19th-century UK Prime Minister
0:13:37 > 0:13:38who was assassinated?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Yes, he was!- Thank you very much.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48The one remaining impossible up there, it's Andrew Bonar Law,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51who was another 20th-century Prime Minister.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53That isn't important. What is important is,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- you're through to the final! - Thank you very much.- Well done!
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Still two places left in today's final, alongside Dan.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Let's find out who's going to be claiming the next one.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10There's 18 of you left in the pack.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Is everyone ready? ALL:- Yes!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Good luck, everyone. Here is your first question.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29An overwhelming majority have gone for C - Louis XIV.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Let's see what the right answer is...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34It is C, so a point for all of you.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Victory and Wisdom, together at last!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42You both went for A - Charles IX.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Victory, first, explain yourself.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47I thought of, erm, the airport, Charles de Gaulle,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51so I just kind of thought maybe that had something to do with it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53But I hope I'm not way off!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I think I might be, I don't know.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Wisdom?- I knew it was Louis XIV, like,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I was doing the Roman numerals,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and I...pressed the wrong button.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Oh, dear. Hopefully, you've both avoided the impossible answer.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Let's see what that was.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It was B - they've never had a king called Arthur.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15So, you have both escaped.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Moving on to question number two.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Pretty even split between Brendans and Dannys.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And just the one Eamon.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Oh, no.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37The right answer...
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Is B - Danny O'Carroll.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43So, a point to all of you.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Now, you went out on your own a bit here, Angela.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- I did, yeah.- With Eamon O'Carroll.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Yeah. I don't watch it, I don't like it.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55And I know it wasn't Brendan O'Carroll, because he is Mrs Brown.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56So, I just totally guessed.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Ah.- So, see you!
0:15:58 > 0:16:01You feel like you might have given the impossible answer?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Yeah.- Let's see if you have.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06The impossible answer was...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Yes, it was C - Eamon O'Carroll, who's a rugby league player.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Oh, lovely!- We will see you tomorrow!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Thank you, see you later!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Question number three.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Victory, unfortunately, you didn't lock in an answer in time.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- No, I didn't.- We are going to have to say goodbye.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- OK.- I'm sorry, we'll see you tomorrow.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Let's find out the right answer.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It was B - Guernica.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52So, a point to all of you.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Flic, you went with A - Girl Before A Mirror.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57We know that you're not a big culture vulture...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01My, erm, my artist knowledge is as
0:17:01 > 0:17:04good as my sculptor knowledge, sadly.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07So, I just guessed.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Jason, you went with The Potato Eaters.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- It was a big guess from me as well, I'm afraid.- Uh-huh.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Not feeling very confident on this one.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Mmm. One of you has given the impossible answer, of course.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18And that answer was...
0:17:21 > 0:17:24The Potato Eaters, which is by Van Gogh.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I'm sorry, Jason, we'll see you tomorrow.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30On to question four.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42The right answer is...
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- Yeah!- A - Fenway Park. Great celebration, Ursula.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Little high-five for Wisdom, who also got it right.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Let's see what the impossible answer was.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57I'm afraid it was C - the MetLife Stadium.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It's an American football stadium,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01home to the New York Giants and Jets.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Meaning that Mal, Cecilia, Les and John have to say goodbye.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07See you tomorrow.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09So, question number five.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27We have all answers, As, Bs, and Cs.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32And our players on four points have all given a different answer.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So, I'm going to reveal the impossible answer first,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38which will knock one of you straight out.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39And the impossible answer is...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Benazir Bhutto.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47So, we have to say goodbye to you, I'm afraid, Matthew,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and also to you, Ursula. We'll see you tomorrow.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Thank you.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Benazir Bhutto was the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59So, that means that one of Will or Colette is going to win,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01depending on which of you has given the right answer.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Feeling good, Will?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Erm, better than I was before, now I know that it's not impossible.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08But no idea, really.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Colette?
0:19:09 > 0:19:13I'm just on the premise that Indira Gandhi is part of the Gandhi
0:19:13 > 0:19:17family, erm, I chose the other one. So, I'm not certain.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21OK. Well, I can tell you that the right answer is...
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Indira Gandhi!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28A point to everyone who went for that.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Meaning, Will, congratulations,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33you have a chance to grab a place in today's final!
0:19:33 > 0:19:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Welcome down here, Will.- Thank you, it's nice to be here.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Very nice to have you. How are you feeling?
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Nervous, but excited, raring to go.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Great combination. What do you do, Will?
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I work in a sandwich shop, but what I more like to do is to make art,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52so, an artist, I should say.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53OK, what kind of art?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Very abstract, very random, very much throwing paint about and...
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Seeing what happens.- Yeah.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Literally, seeing what sticks. - Exactly.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Have you sold any work, as yet?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Erm, only to my mum, so...
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Still counts!- It doesn't really count.- It still counts.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10If you were to get your hands on the money, what would you do with it?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I think I just want to put it on my bed,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15roll in it like there's no tomorrow, and just be like...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- And just never spend it.- Yes.- Just have it there as your bedding.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Very luxurious bedding.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24- Yes.- OK, so we know you've got three topics left to choose from.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Those topics are...
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Any of those grab you?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I'm going to go for animals.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39OK. I'm going to show nine answers, and they are...
0:20:48 > 0:20:50The kind of animals you were hoping for?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- They'll do, yeah.- Oh! - Could be worse.- It could be worse!
0:20:53 > 0:20:56And the first half of the question...
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Which reptile...?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- OK.- Five of those are impossible,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06they couldn't be the answer because they aren't reptiles.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11You need to find those impossible answers, swipe them from the board.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Each impossible answer that you eliminate will add £100
0:21:14 > 0:21:16to the prize pot. Where would you like to start?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'm going to start with the African wart frog,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21because I think that's an amphibian,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23and not a reptile.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Is African wart frog an impossible answer?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Yes! And for exactly the reason that you said.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32It's an amphibian. OK.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33We're up and running.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I'm tempted for loris, because I know there's,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40like, slow loris, which is, like, slow, but they're not a reptile.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42So, loris.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Is loris an impossible answer?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Yes, it is. It's a primate.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- And it does have a slow version.- Ah.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Where would you like to go next?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I'm going to go for salamander,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58for the same reason for the frog.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59I think it's an amphibian.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Is salamander an impossible answer?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Yes, it is. Three from three, you're doing very well, Will. Which would you like to pick next?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I'm going to go for shrike, because
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I don't know what it is.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16OK. Shrike.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Shrike.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Is shrike an impossible answer?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Yes, it is, a type of bird.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Great run.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Let's see if we can make it five from five.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30I'm torn between barramundi
0:22:30 > 0:22:32and skink,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34because I've heard of both of them,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36but I can't picture what they are.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39I'm going to go for barramundi.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Is barramundi an impossible answer?
0:22:44 > 0:22:45It is!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48APPLAUSE A type of fish.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Very good, Will.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52£500 added to the prize pot,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54now stands at £900.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Now, what we need to do is figure out if you're going to be playing for that money,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and for a shot at the £10,000 question, in today's final.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04In a moment, I'm going to reveal the second half of the question,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08If you identify it, the place is all yours.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Give me a wrong answer,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13and the next quickest player will have the chance to steal
0:23:13 > 0:23:14your place in the final.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17And I can reveal that it was...
0:23:17 > 0:23:19..our old favourite, Mike.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21How are you feeling over there, Mike?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Er, yeah, shuffling uncomfortably again.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I think Will did incredibly well, actually, to knock those five out.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I don't know if I'd have done as well, so, I'm backing Will here.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Maybe he's done all the hard of work for you to then swoop in!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Yeah!- OK, Will, you are in a strong position here
0:23:34 > 0:23:38because there are no impossible answers left to trip you up - you got rid of them all.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Let's reveal the full question.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Which reptile has species known as "Jesus Christ lizards"
0:23:44 > 0:23:47because they can run on water?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I'm torn between two,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54the gecko and the skink.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- I'm going to go for skink. - If skink is right,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00you will take your place in the final.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03If it's wrong, Mike will have a chance to steal.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Is skink the right answer?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It isn't, I'm afraid.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Will, you were doing so very well. - I know.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Now, you're going to have to rely on Mike slipping up.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Mike...- I'm almost positive it's not chameleon,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I think if that got anywhere near water, it would just plop in.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Geckos are incredibly light on their feet,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27but I know basilisks do knock about around water.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I'm very, very nervous about this one,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32but I'm going to have to go with basilisk.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34If basilisk is the right answer,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37you will steal Will's place in the final.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Is basilisk the right answer?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43It IS the right answer!
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- Well done, Mike, you have nabbed Will's place in the final. - Sorry, Will.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Will, very, very unfortunate.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I know. Oh!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I wouldn't blame you if you never speak to Mike again.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59But you are back in the pack for the next round, so it's not all bad.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Mike, if you want to take your seat next to Dan.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- APPLAUSE - OK.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11So, just one place up for grabs in the final.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Who is it going to be?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Only eight of you surviving now.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Good luck, everyone. Here's your first question.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32The right answer...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Is C, Paloma Faith.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41So, Ian, Lesley, Will and Flic all get a point there.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43The impossible answer was...
0:25:45 > 0:25:48A, Lily Allen, has never been a coach on The Voice.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Meaning you all go through to question two.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Which is...
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Everyone has gone for C, Martes.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Let's see if you're all right.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Yes, you were. So, a point to all of you.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14The impossible answer was...
0:26:16 > 0:26:20B, Luglio, which is Italian for July.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Question number three.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38So, everyone has gone for Barry McGuigan, except for Will,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40who's gone with Joe Calzaghe.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Let's see what the right answer was.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48It was B, Barry McGuigan, born in Clones.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49So, a point to all of you.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Now, Will, do you think you've avoided the impossible?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53- No.- Ah.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, let's find out.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57The impossible answer is...
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I'm afraid it is Joe Calzaghe.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03He's Welsh, or of Welsh heritage.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06That means we'll have to say goodbye. I'm sorry, Will.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Seven of you remaining, as we go on to question number four.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28The right answer...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Is A, frontal.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34So, a point to Wendy, Justin,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Lesley and Wisdom.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Let's find out - the impossible answer is...
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Vestigial - not a lobe in the human brain.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Going into the final question of this round,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48one person is on four points,
0:27:48 > 0:27:50and that is Lesley.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Question number five.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Most of you have gone for B, Edwin Landseer.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16But we have got a couple of Edmund Burkes and an Edward Burne-Jones.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Lesley, we know that it was
0:28:19 > 0:28:21important for you not to mess this up.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25All right? Let's reveal the impossible answer.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30It was C, Edmund Burke!
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Lesley, Lesley, Lesley, Lesley! - Fell at the last hurdle.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34You've had a shocker!
0:28:34 > 0:28:36At the last hurdle!
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Edmund Burke is an 18th-century philosopher.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I'll remember that for next time.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44It does mean that you and Flic, both eliminated.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46We'll see you both tomorrow.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49So, let's have a look and see what the right answer is.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55It's B, and that means we have three people on four points.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57They are Ian, Justin and Wendy.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01But the fastest player to lock in their answers
0:29:01 > 0:29:02across the round...
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Is Ian!
0:29:05 > 0:29:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Congratulations, Ian!
0:29:09 > 0:29:13You have the chance to grab the last place in today's final!
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Thanks very much. Thank you.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20Ian, how are you feeling?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- I'm feeling good.- Confident?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25As confident as I can be, yeah.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Now that you're up close with the money,
0:29:28 > 0:29:32are you letting yourself fantasise a little about what you might spend it
0:29:32 > 0:29:34on? Yeah, that looks tempting.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Very tempting.- What would you spend it on, do you reckon?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39The car we have is almost 17 years old.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44- So I think we deserve a new one, and that's where the bulk of it will go, probably.- OK.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46And will you use the car to ferry the dogs around?
0:29:46 > 0:29:49We do. We go to dog shows up and down the country.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52And we need a larger car than a normal family car.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- So, yeah.- Lovely stuff here.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58OK. The topics remaining, there are two of them, and they are...
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I'll try television, please.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08So you know how this is going to work.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- I'm going to show you nine answers. - OK.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Those answers are...
0:30:22 > 0:30:25And the first half of the question.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- Which character in the sitcom Friends...?- Right.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Five of those answers are impossible.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36They couldn't possibly be the answer to that question because they're not
0:30:36 > 0:30:39characters in Friends. You need to find those impossible answers,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42and then banish them from the board.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43You're going to have five guesses,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and each that you eliminate correctly will add £100
0:30:46 > 0:30:48to the daily prize pot.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Where would you like to start, Ian?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52I'll start with Niles, please.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54He was a character in Frasier.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Is Niles an impossible answer?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Yes. £100 added to the prize pot.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Niles was Frasier's brother.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Where next?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Kramer, please.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Do you know Kramer?- No.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08I don't think he was...
0:31:08 > 0:31:10He or she was in Friends.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11So that's what I'm hoping.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Was Kramer an impossible answer?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Yes. Kramer is a character in Seinfeld.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Where next?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23I'll have Woody, please.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Any idea where Woody might be from?
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Toy Story.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Other than that, I don't think he was in Friends.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32So, is Woody an impossible answer?
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Yes. We weren't thinking of the Woody from Toy Story.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39We were thinking of the one from Cheers.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Where next?
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Roseanne.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Is Roseanne an impossible answer?
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Roseanne is a character in the sitcom Roseanne.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Four from four. Doing very well here.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57OK, one to go. Um...
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Janice.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Let's see if Janice is an impossible answer.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08- She's not.- Right.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Janice was a character in Friends.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Nevertheless, four out of five.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15£400 adds to the prize pot.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17In a moment, I am going to reveal the second half of the question,
0:32:17 > 0:32:19and I'll be looking for the right answer.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22If you find it, you'll take your place in the final
0:32:22 > 0:32:23alongside Mike and Dan.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25But if you give a wrong answer,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28the next best player does have the chance to steal your place
0:32:28 > 0:32:31in the final, and that is Wendy.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Wendy, a huge Friends fan.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Oh, massive, massive!
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Loves it.- Ask my daughter.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42She's the fan and I tell her to switch the channel!
0:32:42 > 0:32:44LAUGHTER
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- Well, you'll wish you hadn't, Wendy. - Yeah!
0:32:46 > 0:32:50OK. There is still one impossible answer up there, Ian.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53If you give me that, you will be eliminated from the show.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55So, let's reveal the full question.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Which character in the sitcom Friends
0:32:57 > 0:33:01has a twin sister called Ursula?
0:33:02 > 0:33:06I'm not a big fan, but I'm going to choose...
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Phoebe.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12So, you're not a big fan,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14but you're hoping that Phoebe
0:33:14 > 0:33:18has a twin sister called Ursula in Friends.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21If that's correct, you go through to the final.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Is Phoebe the right answer?
0:33:25 > 0:33:26It is!
0:33:26 > 0:33:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Well done, Ian.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31An unbelievably good guess.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- It was a guess.- The remaining impossible up there,
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Maeby is the other impossible.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Maeby is from Arrested Development.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43All that aside, Ian, you've done very well and you are through
0:33:43 > 0:33:44- to the final.- Thank you very much.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Please take your seat.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57For the rest of you, I'm afraid, today, victory proved impossible,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59but we'll be seeing you all again tomorrow.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- Goodbye. ALL:- Bye!
0:34:01 > 0:34:04But for Dan, Mike and Ian, it's time for the final.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14So, Dan, Mike and Ian, there is £1,300 in today's prize pot.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Only one of you can win that money
0:34:17 > 0:34:20and the right to face the £10,000 question.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22You're each going to start with ten lives.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25There they are.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Questions are on the buzzer.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Buzz and get one right
0:34:28 > 0:34:30and you'll knock a life off both of your opponents.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Buzz and get one wrong,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34it is you that will lose one of your own lives.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36However, some of the questions are impossible,
0:34:36 > 0:34:40which is to say there's no answer, they don't make any sense,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42they're preposterous.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44If you think you've spotted one of these,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46all you've got to do is buzz in and say, "impossible".
0:34:46 > 0:34:51That's really bad news for your opponents, because they will both lose two lives.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53But if you say a question's impossible when it isn't,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56or give any other answer to an impossible question,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59it's you that loses the two lives.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00So you do need to be careful.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Are we ready?- Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04OK. Good luck to you all.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Which beverage has varieties called Ceylon and Darjeeling?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11- Ian.- Tea.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14That's correct, so that's a life from Dan and from Mike.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19In which 1952 film does Gene Kelly perform a memorable...
0:35:20 > 0:35:21- Ian.- Singing In The Rain.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Memorable dance splashing around in a street in the middle of a downpour,
0:35:25 > 0:35:27it is Singing In The Rain.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Good start, Ian.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33In which Asian country are the Petronas Towers located?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Ian.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Um...
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Sorry, the name's escaped me.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Ian, you lose a life. The answer is Malaysia.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Which Arsenal footballer
0:35:43 > 0:35:45was England's leading scorer
0:35:45 > 0:35:47at the 2016 Fifa World Cup?
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Dan?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- Impossible.- It is impossible!
0:35:50 > 0:35:53There was no World Cup in that year.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Mike and Ian both lose two lives.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Which king acceded to the British throne
0:35:59 > 0:36:02on the death of Queen Victoria?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- Dan.- Impossible.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07It's not impossible, Dan.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09It was Edward VII.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14In which Australian state is the city of Auckland?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Dan.- Impossible.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18It is impossible, it's in New Zealand.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Who succeeded Stephen Fry as the host of QI?
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Dan.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Sandi Toksvig. - It was Sandi Toksvig.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36Which German band had a UK number one in 2013 with Get Lucky?
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Mike.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Impossible.- It is impossible.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42It's by Daft Punk, and they are French.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Ian, you lose two lives. Dan, you lose two lives.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47It is incredibly tight now.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52In which limbs of the human body will you find the fibula bones?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- Ian.- Legs.- It is the legs.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Which Vermeer painting inspired
0:36:58 > 0:37:00a bestselling novel by Tracy Chevalier?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- Mike.- The Girl With A Pearl Earring.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08You didn't say it confidently, but you're right!
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Dan, you lose a life.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Ian, you lose a life.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Dan on two, Mike on two,
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Ian on one.
0:37:14 > 0:37:21Which former Great Britain and England rugby league international winger is nicknamed Chariots?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- Mike.- Martin Offiah.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Because?- Because he's rapid.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- And Chariots Offiah. - Yeah, that's it.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31That means Dan loses a life,
0:37:31 > 0:37:33and unfortunately, Ian,
0:37:33 > 0:37:34you lose your last life,
0:37:34 > 0:37:37which means you are eliminated at this stage.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Which of Tom Cruise's former wives stars in the film...
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Dan.- Angelina Jolie.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Oh, that was Brad Pitt!
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Oh, Dan!
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Oh, Dan, wish you'd let me finish the question.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57Which of Tom Cruise's former wives stars in the film
0:37:57 > 0:38:00There's Something About Mary?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02It was impossible.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03It starred Cameron Diaz.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Dan, you buzzed in early, you said Angelina Jolie.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08You immediately regretted it.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09You lose your last life.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Dan, Ian, we'll see you both tomorrow.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Mike, it's time to face the £10,000 question.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15APPLAUSE
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Very well done, Mike. You are today's winner with £1,300.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26That's lovely, but you could be leaving with a whole lot more
0:38:26 > 0:38:29if you can answer the £10,000 question.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33I'm going to show you nine answers, and then ask a question.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Three of the nine answers are correct.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40If you can find them all within ten seconds, you win that £10,000.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42That's the good bit.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45The less good bit is that three of those answers are wrong.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49If you pick any of those, you won't win the ten grand.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53The bad news is three of the nine answers are impossible.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Give me any of those and you will lose the £1,300 as well.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00I can only accept the first three answers you give.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04If you fail to give me three answers before the ten seconds are up,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07you also lose the £1,300.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Now, you only get one shot at the £10,000 question,
0:39:09 > 0:39:13so whatever happens, you will be leaving the show today.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Any subjects that you're particularly hoping for?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I'd like to hit on geography.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20I'd be happy with that.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Pop music, not too bad.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Politics to a certain extent.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Well, let's see.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27I can tell you...
0:39:30 > 0:39:32It is on sport.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- What do we think?- I'm OK on sport.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Again, it's like a lot of topics.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39If the right sport falls for me, I'll be happy.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42If it's a sport I've never watched, then I'm stuck, aren't I?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44OK. Ready?
0:39:44 > 0:39:45- Ready.- Good luck.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Here are your nine answers.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11And you're looking for...
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Wimbledon men's singles champions who won the title
0:40:15 > 0:40:17playing left-handed.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19And your time starts now.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Rafael Nadal.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25John McEnroe.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29And Pete Sampras.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Just about in time, Mike.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37So, in the order that you said them,
0:40:37 > 0:40:39you went with Rafael Nadal.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42You seemed quite confident about that one.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Yeah, he's got one massive arm, and it's his left arm, so...
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Is Rafael Nadal a right answer?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54It is. One down.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55Next you said John McEnroe.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59I don't actually know whether John McEnroe's left-handed, I'll be honest.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I'm not 100% confident he won the singles champion, but...
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Well, let's see.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06You have gone with McEnroe.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Is John McEnroe a right answer?
0:41:11 > 0:41:12He is.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15He did win Wimbledon playing left-handed.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Then time was nearly out when you said Pete Sampras.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21It was. I'll be honest,
0:41:21 > 0:41:25I was considering going for somebody I knew had won a single champions,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28but I wasn't necessarily sure that they were left-handed,
0:41:28 > 0:41:30and they were Andy Murray and Roger Federer.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33I'm fairly confident Ivan Lendl won it as well, but not 100%.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37So I went risky, I'll be honest, I went risky.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Let's see if going risky has paid off.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45If Pete Sampras is a right answer, you'll win £10,000.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Did Pete Sampras win Wimbledon playing left-handed?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59GROANS
0:41:59 > 0:42:00He didn't.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04But he's not an impossible answer.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06He won Wimbledon seven times.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08But playing with his right hand.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- What a traditionalist!- Yeah, I know.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- Boring.- But you have won £1,300.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- Very happy.- Thank you very much for playing !mpossible, Mike,
0:42:16 > 0:42:17it's been a pleasure.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:19 > 0:42:21The answer now with a bit more time?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24I mean, I don't know whether he won it,
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Andy Roddick's got a monster serve,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27but I don't know whether he actually won it.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29I know he got to finals.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Every TV shot I ever see is him getting mad,
0:42:31 > 0:42:33so I imagine he hasn't won it.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36I can say that Andy Roddick would have been an impossible answer.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41Never won it. Ivan Lendl, another impossible answer.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44And of course Tim Henman, famously never won Wimbledon.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48The answer you were looking for, Jimmy Connors.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Won the title playing left-handed.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- That doesn't matter.- No, it doesn't. - You take £1,300.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Thank you ever so much for playing !mpossible. Cheers, Mike.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Thank you. - So, Mike leaves with that money.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00The rest of us will be back tomorrow
0:43:00 > 0:43:03when someone else will have the chance to win £10,000.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07This has been !mpossible, the quiz where, actually, anything is possible.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Goodbye.
