Yeah alright, it’s not big and it’s not clever, but there’s no denying that a gameshow contestant dropping a clanger is something we’re always going to find funny.

Rick Edwards has admitted that his latest venture, β€˜Impossible’, isn’t without its embarrassing moments, opening up about one contestant’s rather unfortunate appearance on the show.

Speaking to HuffPost UK on β€˜BUILD’, Rick revealed: β€œMy favourite wrong answer was from the first series, and there was this guy called Craig, who is an actor - also on [’Impossible’], so you’d assume he wasn’t doing that well - and there was a question about a character in one of the new β€˜Star Wars’ films.

β€œHe hadn’t got the question right, so it was a question of whether he got it wrong, or whether it was an β€˜impossible’ answer [which would eliminate him from the quiz].

β€œAnd I was chatting to him, and he goes, β€˜yeah, what’s really bad is that I was actually in this film’. So I was like, β€˜you were in the film… and you’ve still got it wrong?’ It was only filmed last year, Craig!

β€œPeople have odd gaps in their knowledge of stuff that you would expect them to know. Like, for example, a film that they’d been in. It is unfortunate… but it’s good telly.”

It’s not just β€˜Impossible’ whose contestants can throw out some embarrassing answers, though, with one contender on β€˜The Chase’ last month being left red-faced after suggesting the Statue of Liberty was pink.

And then there was the β€˜Pointless’ contestant who was asked to name a country that begins and ends with a consonant, and offered β€˜Paris’ as the answer, much to the chagrin of her friend.
