Impossible

Rick Edwards hosts the quiz, guiding contestants through a series of challenges as they vie for a £10,000 cash prize. Each participant attempts to answer questions correctly, but a single ‘impossible’ answer will instantly remove them from the competition for the remainder of the day. The format ensures high stakes and quick eliminations.

The show is a quiz programme presented by Rick Edwards. He introduces each round, explains the rules and keeps the pace brisk, ensuring the audience stays engaged. As the host, Edwards steers the action and maintains a lively rhythm throughout the competition. Each episode pits a group of contestants against one another, all vying for the opportunity to walk away with a £10,000 prize. The looming threat of the impossible answer means every decision carries weight, pushing contestants to think before committing to a response. A single misstep can end a player’s run for the day, raising the stakes with every question. The twist lies in the presence of an ‘impossible’ answer. If a player lands on this particular response, they’re instantly eliminated from that day’s contest, regardless of how well they’ve performed up to that point. Because the elimination applies only for that day’s game, a player who is knocked out must return episode to try again, adding a sudden‑death element to the otherwise steady progression of the quiz. Overall, the format blends ordinary quiz challenges with the high stakes of a sudden‑elimination question, all under Edwards’ steady presenting. The £10,000 cash prize acts as a strong incentive, driving participants to stay focused despite the risk of sudden dismissal.
