    I just speed watched the show and I have no idea. Who or what are the operatives?
    I assume it's not the presenters because they visit 5 locations. 1 is Ford's Dunton Technical Centre in Essex, another is 'home', Suzi goes into unspecified woods and an ice rink, and Polly goes to an indoor snow slope.

    I think the locations were in film trailers during the ad breaks, I only saw one but am prety sure it was Dubai, not sure if they want city or country as the answer.
  • Hi all,

    just tried to watch to find the answer but my laptop is so old it just won't run.

    can anyone help with the answer on this one as it closes tonight?

    The Burj Khalifa Hotel mentioned in the movie is the Armani Hotel Dubai - the first hotel designed and developed by Giorgio Armani.

    As seen in the final shot of the second theatrical trailer, a big missile flies over San Francisco and apparently heads towards the Emeryville area - the location of Pixar headquarters
    The IMF is shut down when it's implicated in the bombing of the Kremlin, causing Ethan Hunt and his new team to go rogue to clear their organization's name.

    You can see the trailer on IMDB which shows the Kremlin, San Francisco, and The Burj Khalifa Hotel Dubai

    I'm assuming there aren't any "operatives" in the missile scene, so I've entered with Moscow and Dubai.
    Thanks all.

    Just watched the imdb trailer and the only thing I got was a headache! Definitely saw Moscow and somewhere that may or may not have been Dubai.



    this is the link on the Channel 5 website to the film, in case it helps at all? http://www.missionimpossible-movie.co.uk/
