0:00:02 > 0:00:05Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.
0:00:05 > 0:00:11We have four contestants who hope their knowledge is flawless. One mistake could give the game away.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13This is Perfection.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.
0:00:27 > 0:00:32Behind me are the contestants called the Usual Suspects. They're in our isolation room.
0:00:32 > 0:00:38One will be randomly selected to play Perfection. Then they face a series of true or false statements.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43If I said, "By area, Sudan is the largest country in Africa,"
0:00:43 > 0:00:45would you say that's true or false?
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Well, if you'd said "true", I can tell you you'd be right.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Answering "true" or "false" might seem easy,
0:00:53 > 0:00:58but if a contestant gets a single answer wrong, the Usual Suspects can capitalise on their mistakes.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02So you know how the game works. Let's meet the Usual Suspects.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Gary. I'm a project engineer from Marlborough in Devon and this is my first game.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15Hi, I'm Hilary. I'm a school secretary from Wimborne in Dorset and this is my fourth game.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I'm Guy, a web producer from south London, and this is my fifth game.
0:01:19 > 0:01:25Hi, I'm Mike. I'm retired now, from Poulton-le-Fylde near Blackpool, and this is my eighth game.
0:01:25 > 0:01:31Welcome to you all and best of luck as we now find out which one of you will be picked to play Perfection.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Mike, it's you who has finally been chosen.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Please come and play Perfection.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43APPLAUSE
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Mike, welcome to the game. Pleased to be down here?- I certainly am.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51It's now you versus the Usual Suspects. They were your team-mates.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56They're now your enemies. Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund
0:01:56 > 0:02:01because your failure will mean the prize money will roll over to the next game
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- where one of them could be playing for a bigger total. You wouldn't want that.- No.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. The good news is nobody has won the last three games,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16so the current prize fund stands at £4,000.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18APPLAUSE
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- That's a nice lump of money.- It is indeed.- What would you do with it?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I like roller-coasters, especially wooden ones,
0:02:26 > 0:02:31and it's my ambition to go on as many wooden roller-coasters as possible.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36There you are, a civil servant for years, the gentle life near Blackpool,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40then all of a sudden, you're a lunatic roller-coaster rider.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Good luck to you. I hope you win the money.- Thanks.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47We'll play three rounds and then a final.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Every round that you achieve perfection will make the final easier.
0:02:51 > 0:02:58But if your performance is less than perfect, the Usual Suspects will have the chance to steal the round,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00making life that much harder.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06More of that later. Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now, so you can't see or hear anything.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Cheerio, and away they go.
0:03:09 > 0:03:15- Mike, you can now talk through your answers without giving away vital knowledge.- Fine.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Each round consists of four "true or false" statements. You'll have 45 seconds.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- Once you've given your answers, they'll be locked in. Ready? - I am indeed.- Let's play Perfection.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27APPLAUSE
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I'm not sure. I think that is...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- That is true.- True.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- I think that is true.- True.
0:03:54 > 0:04:00That sounds that it could be true, it's so obscure.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- True.- True.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- That is true.- True.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16And with time to spare, Mike, you've answered all four statements.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18How was that as a round? Good?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I don't know. There's some doubt about some of those.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30These are the four statements and Mike's answers.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Guy, has he achieved perfection? - I think B's wrong.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Charles Darwin was on The Beagle, but I don't think he was the captain.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44And "A", I'm not so sure. She was in Catwoman, but was she Catwoman in Batman Returns?
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Mike, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Let's find out how many are correct.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Just two of the four. We need perfection and you haven't got it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09Can you steal the round? You need to change two of Mike's answers, but which two?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I agree with Guy. Halle Berry did play Catwoman in the movie of the name.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- But she did not play Catwoman in Batman Returns.- Do you know anything about C and D?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Yeah, Puccini definitely did Tosca. - An octopus does have three hearts.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I like the idea of an octopus having three hearts.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- I think that's our conclusion. - OK, we'd like to change A and B from "true" to "false".
0:05:32 > 0:05:36A from "true" to "false", B from "true" to "false",
0:05:36 > 0:05:38leaving C and D as you already said.
0:05:38 > 0:05:45The three hearts up in our Usual Suspects are beating as one, as we're surmising an octopus's does.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51Let's see the correct answers. If a statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55"Halle Berry played Catwoman in Batman Returns." Is that true or false?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yeah, it is false. It was Michelle Pfeiffer.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06Let's move on. "Charles Darwin was the captain of the HMS Beagle." Is that true or false?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Yeah, it's false. He was the botanist.- Brilliant. Well done.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Robert FitzRoy was the captain.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15"An octopus has three hearts." True or false?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yeah, it's true.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21"Puccini composed the opera Tosca." True or false?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23True.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You achieved perfection.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28APPLAUSE
0:06:28 > 0:06:35Mike, working as a team, they managed to succeed where you failed and so they've stolen that round.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41Usual Suspects, you can now make Mike's chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.
0:06:41 > 0:06:47Here's how. Mike, this is your final board. There are six spaces to be filled with subject categories.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Behind each category will be a true or false statement.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56You need to answer all six correctly to win the prize fund. Here are your categories.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06If you had won that round, you could have added two categories to the board.
0:07:06 > 0:07:13Because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they choose them, hoping to make the final harder for you.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Usual Suspects, which two do you think Mike will struggle with in the final?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- '90s Pop, maybe?- That could be a winner for us.- Yes.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Let's choose '90s Pop. - '90s Pop goes across. And...?
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- Sneezing strikes me as a very strange category. - Exactly.- Very obscure.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Shall we throw it in?- Yeah. - OK, we'll put in Sneezing.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Thank you. Sneezing becomes the second category in the final.
0:07:37 > 0:07:44Well done, Usual Suspects. You won the round. It's time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 2.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Mike, with the Usual Suspects gone, '90s Pop?
0:07:46 > 0:07:52Er, '90s Pop... Yeah, I've got my doubts about '90s Pop.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- And Sneezing, I don't know what that could be.- It could be anything.- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:08:03Mike, you still have two more rounds to find perfection and choose your own categories for the final.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Are you ready to carry on?- Indeed. - Good. Let's play Round 2.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- That is false.- False.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Um...
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- I would say that is... That's true.- True.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- That sounds... That could well be true.- True. And finally...
0:08:43 > 0:08:48That is, uh... That is definitely true.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54So, with time still on the clock, you've answered all four statements.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- So what do you think? Perfection? - Perfection? Who knows, Nick?
0:08:58 > 0:09:05Before we find out for sure, let's bring back the Usual Suspects and see what they've got to say.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Hello.- Hi.- Hello.- Hello.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11These were the four statements and Mike's answers.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Guy, can you see any mistakes?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I'm going on kind of plausibility here, but for some reason,
0:09:17 > 0:09:21I think the Venus de Milo isn't in the Louvre. It's somewhere else.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25OK, let's find out how many are correct.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Just the two out of the four, so you failed to achieve perfection.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Your enemies, the Usual Suspects, have been let into the game.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You need to change two of Mike's answers. Which two?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47We'll start off by changing D from "true" to "false".
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- What's the other one?- It's A or B.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- I'm not sure. - Which one do you plump for?
0:09:52 > 0:09:58- Off the top of your head, which one would you change?- "A". If it was my choice, it'd be "A".
0:09:58 > 0:10:02As the longest-standing member of the Usual Suspects, you choose.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- What's it going to be?- I'll change "A" from "false" to "true".
0:10:06 > 0:10:09"A" changes from "false" to "true",
0:10:09 > 0:10:12leaving B and C as they stand.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Usual Suspects, let's see what the correct answers are.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20"Liechtenstein is in the Pyrenees." Is that false or true?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Yeah, it's in the Alps. It is false.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29You had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to achieve perfection.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Have you achieved perfection at home? Shall we find out?
0:10:33 > 0:10:38"The word vindaloo means pepper water." True or false?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42False. It's actually from a Portuguese dish.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46"Al Gore and Dennis Hopper were college room-mates." True or false?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- False.- Oh, that's false.- Disaster!
0:10:49 > 0:10:56The reason you might have thought that is because Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones were college room-mates.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00And "the Venus de Milo is housed in the Louvre." True or false?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Yeah, it is.- We got them all wrong!
0:11:03 > 0:11:08So, Usual Suspects, not only did you fail to achieve perfection,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12you missed it by a country mile. You got every one of them wrong!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Let's have a look at the board.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17There are two subjects chosen by the Usual Suspects.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23Neither side won the round, so the two categories to be chosen are carried over to the next round,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26meaning that four categories will be on offer.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 3.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- OK, are you ready to play? - Ready to play.- Let's play Round 3.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38APPLAUSE
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- That is false.- False.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Um...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- I would say that's true.- True.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I doubt that's true. It's false.- False.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I...I'm pretty certain...
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Well, not pretty certain, but I think that is true.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24True. Thank you very much.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Mike, you've answered all four statements in the allotted time.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32It's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36So these were the four statements and next to them are Mike's answers.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- Guy, has he achieved perfection? - I don't think he has, Nick.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44B, for a start, I think is wrong.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- The Jets are probably an American football team and the Yankees are the baseball team.- Gary?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53After a disastrous last round, I'm reluctant to say anything,
0:12:53 > 0:12:58but I don't think you've achieved it, Mike. You're not far off.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Like Guy, I think B is wrong.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Let's find out how many are correct.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Two out of four again.
0:13:14 > 0:13:20Mike, you've given your enemies a chance to steal. Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24OK, to start with, we'd like to change B from "true" to "false".
0:13:24 > 0:13:27B changes. You need to find one other now.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33- I think it was Graham Norton, but I could be wrong.- I can't help you with the Graham Norton one.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38If you don't mind, Gary, let's change C from "false" to "true".
0:13:38 > 0:13:42C changes from "false" to "true", leaving A and D as answered by Mike.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Let's find out the correct answers.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48"The Hundred Years' War lasted 80 years." True or false?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51False.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54116 years, in actual fact, is how long it lasted.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58"The New York Jets are a baseball team." True or false?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01False. They're an American football team.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05"Graham Norton is a former Rear of the Year winner." True or false?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07True.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11You know how it's going. "The Scream is a painting by Edvard Munch."
0:14:11 > 0:14:13True or false?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15True.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21- Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've achieved perfection. - APPLAUSE
0:14:21 > 0:14:28Oh, dear, Mike, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32What a turnaround for you! From all four wrong to all four right!
0:14:32 > 0:14:38You can now make Mike's chances of winning the prize fund much harder. Let's see the final board.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44You'll make it a lot harder. You've already chosen the first two categories in the final.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50Because you won that round, you've earned the right to choose the next four to add to the board.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54So which four would you like Mike to play in the final?
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Well, he got that Darwin question wrong in the first round,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- which makes me feel Explorers... - Explorers, yeah.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Could trip him up. - We'll choose Explorers.- Yeah.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Lovely. Explorers goes in.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- If I had to plump for one, I'd plump for Boxing.- Right.- OK.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Boxing?- We'll put Boxing across.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Boxing goes in.- Hilary?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, Norse Mythology is jumping out at me.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- OK.- Yeah? - Let's put in some Norse Myths.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Norse Mythology goes across as the penultimate in the final.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- And the last one?- Dogs could be... - Dogs.- I quite like Dogs.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- There's a broad subject. - We'll go for Dogs, please.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Thank you. Dogs becomes the last subject category in the final.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40We know our six final categories.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50OK, Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off for the final time.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- It could be a tough final for you. - It could indeed.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Mike, £4,000... - Yeah, I'll have a go.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00If you are ready, let's play the final round.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Here are your final six categories.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £4,000.
0:16:10 > 0:16:16- There's no time limit, but once you've given your first answer, it's locked in. Ready?- Ready.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false. '90s Pop.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26"Jarvis Cocker created the band Gorillaz."
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Oh, dear. I've heard of Jarvis Cocker and I've heard of Gorillaz.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- I'll say that is true, Nick.- True.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Sneezing. "The world's longest sneezing fit lasted over a year."
0:16:46 > 0:16:48That's very bizarre, isn't it, that one?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I'll say that's...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- That's true.- True.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Explorers.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59"Roald Amundsen is buried at the South Pole."
0:16:59 > 0:17:03I think that's false. I don't think he's buried at the South Pole.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08I think one of the people that went to the South Pole is buried there, but not Amundsen.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- So you're saying "false"?- False.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Boxing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16"Bantamweight is lighter than featherweight."
0:17:17 > 0:17:22I think featherweight is lighter, so that is...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- That is false.- False.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Norse Mythology. "Thor was the god of thunder."
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I'm pretty sure of that. Thor was the god of thunder.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- So you're saying...? - I'll say that's true.- True.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39And finally, Dogs.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43"Chihuahua is the smallest recognised breed of dog."
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- I'll say that's false, Nick.- False.
0:17:47 > 0:17:54Mike, those answers are now locked in. If there is one single mistake, you leave with nothing.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Let's find out what the Usual Suspects have to say. Let's switch 'em on.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03You can now see the final six statements and Mike's answers.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Your answers are locked in, but if you think you've made a mistake,
0:18:08 > 0:18:14you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will, however, come at a cost.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I'll ask you to tell me how well you think Mike has done,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21if you want to help and if you do, how much it will cost.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25You can't refer to any statement specifically.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Mike, who would you like to hear from first?- Gary, I think.
0:18:29 > 0:18:35Hi, Mike. I know for absolutely positively sure that you've got definitely one wrong
0:18:35 > 0:18:39and I'm 80% convinced that you've got a second one wrong.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43If there was only one, I'd be down like a shot,
0:18:43 > 0:18:47but the non-certainty of the second one, Mike,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51is making me say "no" on this occasion, matey.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54OK. Do you want to speak to anyone else?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Hilary?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00I know for sure, Mike, that one is wrong,
0:19:00 > 0:19:05but I also have got a question mark about another one
0:19:05 > 0:19:08and I'm very unsure about it.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12I don't think I'm confident enough to come and help you, Mike. Sorry.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Right.- Guy?
0:19:15 > 0:19:22It's been really nice, all the games we've shared together, but I can't come down to help you today.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I'd quite like the money to roll over, to be honest.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28It looks as though I'm on my own here.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34Negotiations appear to have closed. All three Usual Suspects have ruled themselves out of helping you out.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39You are going to have to play this alone. £4,000 at stake. Six answers away.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49If the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55We may as well start at the top. "Jarvis Cocker created the band Gorillaz."
0:19:55 > 0:19:58We need this to turn green to get you off to a flying start.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Is it true or false?
0:20:05 > 0:20:10It's false, I'm afraid. You failed at the first hurdle. You failed to achieve perfection.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14It wasn't Jarvis Cocker that created the band Gorillaz.
0:20:14 > 0:20:20Damon Albarn working with Jamie Hewlett. Either way, I'm afraid that's a bad start for you
0:20:20 > 0:20:23and you can't win the money.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28But have you managed to achieve perfection at home? Let's find out the rest of the answers.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33"The world's longest sneezing fit lasted over a year." True or false?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37You said "true". It is true. 978 days.
0:20:37 > 0:20:43"Roald Amundsen is buried at the South Pole." You said "false". Is it true or false?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46It is false.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50He, oddly, died in a plane crash. His body was never discovered.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55"Bantamweight is lighter than featherweight." True or false?
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Oddly, it's true. Bantamweight is lighter than featherweight.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Moving on, "Thor was the god of thunder."
0:21:02 > 0:21:07This was the one you were confident on. You said "true". True or false?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10It is true.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13"Chihuahua is the smallest recognised breed of dog."
0:21:13 > 0:21:16You said "false". True or false?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18It is true.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Chihuahua is the smallest recognised breed of dog.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24As a result of which, three right, three wrong.
0:21:24 > 0:21:31In a series of questions where you didn't get to choose any, they were really tough... Reasonably happy?
0:21:31 > 0:21:37Even if I'd got one wrong, I wouldn't have got the money, so three wrong is not bad for those categories.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46The prize money rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £5,000.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- That's very big money now. Looking forward to that?- Yes.- Absolutely.
0:21:50 > 0:21:56- Mike, you go home with nothing. Have you enjoyed playing?- I have indeed, Nick. It's been a pleasure.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- Let's hear it for Mike. - Really enjoyed it. APPLAUSE
0:22:01 > 0:22:06It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Hello, my name is Sherise. I'm a flight attendant from London.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Welcome, Sherise. What a great job that is, travelling round the world!
0:22:19 > 0:22:24I always wanted to be an aircraft captain. Could I have got away with it?
0:22:24 > 0:22:30- Cabin crew, cross-check doors and go to manual.- You could.- I'm not posh enough, am I? Best of luck.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34We now find out which one of you will be picked to play Perfection.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Hilary, it's you that's been selected.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Please come and play Perfection.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50- Hilary, welcome to the game. You were a while up there. - I enjoyed it. It was good fun.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58- There was a lot of bonding going on there, especially with Guy.- Yes.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Now he is your enemy. They're all your enemies.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08- The good news is nobody has won the past four games, so the prize fund currently stands at £5,000.- Lovely.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10That'd be nice. APPLAUSE
0:23:10 > 0:23:15I was thinking that. As a school secretary, what does £5,000 mean to you?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It means that I would go off and have my eyes lasered,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23so when I do my secretarial bit, I wouldn't need my glasses.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- Well, good luck.- Thank you. - Three rounds and a final to come.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now. Cheerio. And away they go.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- Are you ready?- Yes, I'm ready. - Then let's play Perfection.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- False.- False.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Hmm...
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Gosh, that's tricky, isn't it?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- True.- True.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- True.- True.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Hmm... Well, that's probably true.- True.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21With time to spare, you've answered all four statements.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- That seemed like a pretty comfortable round for you. - Not really.- Was it not?- No.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Before we find out how well you've done, let's have a word with the Usual Suspects.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36These were the four statements and next to them are Hilary's answers.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Sherise, has she achieved perfection?- She's done pretty good.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44They're all looking good. I think she might have done it - perfection.
0:24:44 > 0:24:50You must answer all four statements perfectly to win the round. Let's see how many you've got correct.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Just two of the four. Hilary, you've failed to achieve perfection
0:25:00 > 0:25:03which has let the Usual Suspects into the game.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Can you steal the round? You need to change two of Hilary's answers.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- The ohm is the unit of electrical resistance.- Yeah.
0:25:12 > 0:25:18As in "where I lay my 'at, that's my ohm(!)" We'll change C from "true" to "false".
0:25:18 > 0:25:20C changes from "true" to "false".
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- I also think "A" is...- Does it link the Red and Mediterranean Sea?
0:25:24 > 0:25:30- It links the Med. It's to get round Africa rather than sailing round the bottom.- Yeah.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33The Red Sea is off Egypt, so yeah, that'd be right.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- Yeah. "A" from "false" to "true". - We'll change "A" from "false" to "true".
0:25:38 > 0:25:43"A" goes from "false" to "true", leaving B and D as answered by Hilary.
0:25:43 > 0:25:49Let's find out the answers. If the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53"The Suez Canal links the Red and Mediterranean Seas." True or false?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55It is true.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59"In 1925, it became illegal to wear a fez in Turkey."
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Is that true or false?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04It is true.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08"The hertz is the unit of electrical resistance."
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Is that true or false?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It is false.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It is the unit of frequency.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19So we come to the final one.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23"Vladimir Putin was an officer in the KGB." True or false?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Yeah, it was true. Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29APPLAUSE
0:26:31 > 0:26:37Hilary, they managed to succeed where you failed and as a result, they've stolen the round.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Usual Suspects, you can make Hilary's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Here's how. Hilary, here is your final board.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Here are your final round categories.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59The Usual Suspects choose the two categories, hoping to make the final harder for you to win.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Usual Suspects, which two would you like Hilary to play in the final?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06What stands out for you guys?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Roads.- Let's go for Roads.- Roads.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Roads goes across. And...?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Chess, Gary?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- If she plays it...- OK, Chess.- Chess.
0:27:17 > 0:27:23Chess. Well done, Usual Suspects. It's time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 2.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- What do you think of their choices? Roads?- Not bad. Don't mind those at all.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- Chess? Do you play chess? - No, I must be honest, I don't.- Ah!
0:27:32 > 0:27:36What else do you want to steer away from in that list?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Um...
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Birds, probably.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45OK, Hilary, you have two more rounds to find perfection and choose your own categories
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- which is the way to go forward for the final. Ready?- Ready.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Good. Let's play Round 2.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54APPLAUSE
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- False.- False.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- False.- False.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- True, I think.- True.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- It is true.- True.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28With half your time left, you've answered all four statements.
0:28:28 > 0:28:34- That felt much more comfortable. - It did until I thought about the dialling code. That might be right.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38We'll find out in a moment, but let's chat with the Usual Suspects.
0:28:38 > 0:28:44- Gary, how has she done this time? - My gut feeling is that I think you've cracked it this time, Hilary.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- Sherise, has she achieved perfection?- The only one I question
0:28:48 > 0:28:52is Cleopatra had a daughter called Antonia.
0:28:52 > 0:28:58You must answer all four statements perfectly to win the round. Let's find out how many are correct.
0:29:04 > 0:29:10Just three of the four. Close, but not perfection. Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13You need to change just one of Hilary's answers.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17I know that Cleopatra had a son called... She named him after Caesar.
0:29:17 > 0:29:23I don't remember any references to a daughter. She did have an affair with Mark Antony.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28- Is it a play on words?- I think it is.- Antony and Cleopatra.- OK.
0:29:28 > 0:29:35It sounds like you know your stuff about it. OK, we're going to change C, then, from "true" to "false".
0:29:35 > 0:29:37C changes from "true" to "false",
0:29:37 > 0:29:40leaving A, B and D as Hilary first answered.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48"555 is the dialling code for the United States." Is that true or false?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51It is false.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54001 in actual fact is the dialling code.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59"Paris Hilton made an album called I'm So Rich." Is it true or false?
0:29:59 > 0:30:04Yeah, it's false. She did have an album and it was called Paris.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08"Cleopatra had a daughter called Antonia."
0:30:08 > 0:30:12You decided after a long discussion that it was false.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Is it true or false?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18It is false.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I had a feeling about it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:26Interestingly, she did have a daughter called Cleopatra Selene, but not called Antonia.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28You were quite right.
0:30:28 > 0:30:33Finally, "a red snapper is a type of fish". True or false?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35True.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41APPLAUSE
0:30:41 > 0:30:47Hilary, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.
0:30:47 > 0:30:54Usual Suspects, not only have you developed a new handshake which you are using at the end of each round,
0:30:54 > 0:31:00but you can now make Hilary's chances of winning the £5,000 much harder. Let's see the final board.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05So far, there are two categories on there chosen by the Usual Suspects.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10You won the round, so you choose the next two categories. Which two are they going to be?
0:31:10 > 0:31:15- I'm thinking Chemistry this time. - I was thinking that as well. I was thinking Chemistry.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- On account of the "hertz" thing as well and that's science.- Yeah.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Chemistry's going across?- Yeah.- OK.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24What about Birds?
0:31:24 > 0:31:29- Would she know much about Birds? - That's a very broad topic.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- OK, Birds.- Birds goes across. Thank you very much.
0:31:32 > 0:31:38Usual Suspects, you won the second round. It's time to switch you off and we'll see you in Round 3.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42And away they go. You picked out one you really didn't want.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- I knew they would.- And they've just picked it - Birds.- Hmm.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50OK, if you're ready to play the next round, let's play Round 3.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- True, he did.- True.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Hmm...
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- I don't think so. I think it's false.- False.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Oh!
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Dear, oh, dear.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- False.- False.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Oh, dear, so bizarre.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- I'll probably... I think I might say "true".- True.
0:32:33 > 0:32:39- With time to spare, you've answered all four statements. Which one bothered you?- D.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43I don't know anything about football and certainly not Swiss football.
0:32:43 > 0:32:49Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects. Hello again.
0:32:49 > 0:32:55- Guy, what do you think? - She might have done herself proud and got perfection this time.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Gary?- I concur. Definitely.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02- Sherise?- Yeah. I'm with the guys. - Huge vote of confidence for you.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Let's find out how many are correct.
0:33:15 > 0:33:21- Consistent, but consistently not perfect, I'm afraid.- No. - You've let in the Usual Suspects.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25You need to change just the one again. Which one?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- It's either B or C. - I think it could be true -
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- the Margherita was named after a queen of Italy.- OK.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- We'd like to change C from "false" to "true", Nick.- Thank you, guys.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41C changes from "false" to "true", thus leaving A, B and D as answered by Hilary.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48"Admiral Nelson suffered from seasickness." True or false?
0:33:48 > 0:33:54True. Absolutely true. As unlikely as it sounds, he did suffer from seasickness.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58"Humphrey Bogart won an Oscar for Casablanca." True or false?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02No. Nominated, but didn't win.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07This is the key one. "A Margherita pizza is named after a queen of Italy."
0:34:07 > 0:34:12Is that false or could it possibly be true?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14It's true.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20"Young Boys of Bern is a Swiss football team." True or false?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22True.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've achieved perfection again.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28APPLAUSE
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Hilary, you know what that means.
0:34:31 > 0:34:37Usual Suspects, you can now make Hilary's chances of winning the prize about as hard as they can be.
0:34:37 > 0:34:42Let's see the final board. Four subjects up there already chosen by you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46As you won the round, you choose the last two subject categories.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Which two would you like her to play in the final?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- We'll go for Money.- Money goes across. I need one more from you.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Dates?- Yeah. It could be anything, couldn't it, again?
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- We'll go for Dates. - Thank you. Dates goes across.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05So we now know our final six categories.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14It's time to switch you off for the final time.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16OK, time to play the final.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:24Hilary, this is the final. If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £5,000.
0:35:24 > 0:35:30If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing which is great news for the Usual Suspects
0:35:30 > 0:35:34as one of them could play for a rollover of £6,000 on the next game.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39- I know you like 'em, but you'd rather be taking the money away. - Yes, definitely.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43In which case, let's play the final round.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Hilary, here are your final six categories.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £5,000.
0:35:53 > 0:35:59- There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, it'll be locked in. Ready?- Yes.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04OK, let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Roads...
0:36:06 > 0:36:10"Spaghetti Junction is a junction of the M3."
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I don't believe that's right.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Spaghetti Junction is near Birmingham, which is nowhere near the M3,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- so I would say that is false.- False.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26Chess. "A bishop may only move diagonally."
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Oh, now I've got to think. Which one is the bishop?
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Dear, oh, dear. No, I'll say "true".
0:36:38 > 0:36:39True.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Chemistry...
0:36:41 > 0:36:46"The pH scale measures acidity and alkalinity."
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Yeah, I believe it does. That's true.- True.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Birds... "Flamingos only live in Africa."
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Well, I don't know if that's true or not.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- I'll say "true".- True.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Money...
0:37:06 > 0:37:10"The drachma is the unit of currency in Tunisia."
0:37:10 > 0:37:12In Tunisia...
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- I think that's false.- False.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18And finally, Dates.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22"Twelfth Night falls in January."
0:37:22 > 0:37:26I do believe so. I believe it's about the 5th or 6th of January.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- So that is true.- True.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Hilary, those answers are locked in. If there's one mistake, you win nothing.
0:37:33 > 0:37:39- What are you worried about? - Definitely the flamingos. And my knowledge of chess is so limited.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I'm trying to think which one was the bishop.
0:37:42 > 0:37:49- OK, so B and D are the ones that you'll be cringing about when we come to the answers.- Yeah.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Let's have a word with the Usual Suspects and see what they think.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57You can now see the final six statements and Hilary's answers.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Your answers are locked in, but if you think you've made a mistake,
0:38:01 > 0:38:07you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will come at a cost.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12You can't refer to any statement specifically. Who would you like to speak to first?
0:38:12 > 0:38:17- I'll speak to my friend Guy first. - Hi there.- What do you think, Guy?
0:38:17 > 0:38:22The ones I know, I agree about, and the ones that I disagree with, I'm not very sure,
0:38:22 > 0:38:27- so I'm probably going to stay here. - Right.- OK, let's ask Gary.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32The more I look at this, I've only got a slight doubt about one of them,
0:38:32 > 0:38:36but the more I look at it, I think you've got this, lovey. I really do.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38What does Sherise think?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42There is one that I'm a little bit iffy about, shall I say?
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Does that translate into an amount of money to come and help?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49I feel a bit green to want to do that right now.
0:38:49 > 0:38:55- Are you counting yourself out or would it take a lot of money? - Depends what's on the table.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57What do you want to do from here?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Do you know, I think I might just go for it.
0:39:00 > 0:39:06- Go for it yourself?- Yeah. - OK.- I think I will. - Are we ending negotiations?- Yes.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Negotiations are over. You have decided to go it alone.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14- £5,000 at stake.- Yeah.- Only six answers away.- You're only here once.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17You do only live once. That's true.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25If the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30Let's start at the top. "Spaghetti Junction is a junction on the M3."
0:39:30 > 0:39:37You said it was in Birmingham, it was nowhere near the M3, so you said "false". Is it true or false?
0:39:39 > 0:39:45You're absolutely right. It is false. It's on the M6 and it is on the north side of Birmingham.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50- B... B was the other one that you were worried about, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54B and D were the two. Let's skip past B and we'll come back to it.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59"The pH scale measures acidity and alkalinity." You said that's true.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Is it true or false?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07It is true.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Two out of two.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Let's do E. "The drachma is the unit of currency in Tunisia."
0:40:13 > 0:40:18We need this to turn red to get three out of three and be halfway to the money.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22"The drachma is the unit of currency in Tunisia." Is that true or false?
0:40:25 > 0:40:27It is false.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Have you been to Tunisia?
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- No, my sister has.- Tunisian dinar. - I thought so.- Absolutely.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39- Three out of three. Halfway to the £5,000.- Mm-hm.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43"Twelfth Night falls in January."
0:40:43 > 0:40:47You said "true". We'd like this to turn green for you. If it does,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50you're only two away from £5,000.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53"Twelfth Night falls in January." True or false?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56It's true.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58APPLAUSE
0:40:58 > 0:41:03- The night of the 5th going over to the 6th.- Mm-hm. - You're absolutely spot-on.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07What a cracking start! They were the four you felt more comfortable with.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- Now we have to go for the ones that worried you the most.- Yeah.
0:41:11 > 0:41:17- "A bishop may only move diagonally." You don't know anything about chess, do you?- Not a lot, no.
0:41:17 > 0:41:23We need this to turn green for you to put you just one away from £5,000.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- If it turns red, you're walking away with nothing.- Yeah.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31"A bishop may only move diagonally." Is that true or false?
0:41:38 > 0:41:41It's true.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43APPLAUSE
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Five out of six.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49One away from £5,000.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Now we come to flamingos.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56- You said right at the start, "I hope they don't pick me Birds."- Yeah.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01And they knew you well enough to pick Birds for you.
0:42:01 > 0:42:07Up it came and when I said, "Flamingos only live in Africa," not a clue.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09No, not a clue.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11So...
0:42:11 > 0:42:15for £5,000...
0:42:15 > 0:42:19You said "true". We need it to turn green. If it turns red, nothing.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Flamingos only live in Africa. Is that true or false?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27For £5,000...
0:42:39 > 0:42:41It's false!
0:42:41 > 0:42:44GROANING
0:42:44 > 0:42:47They also live in Central and South America.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50I knew you were going to say that. I knew it!
0:42:50 > 0:42:54How frustrating is that? You knew it was your nemesis the moment you saw it on the board.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57They picked it out for you, it came up, you didn't want it.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01You didn't like the question. I'm afraid, Hilary,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04that means you did not achieve perfection and you're not leaving with £5,000.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08Usual Suspects, great news for you. The prize fund rolls over to the next game,
0:43:08 > 0:43:13where you could be playing for a total of £6,000. You've got to be pleased with that.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17- Absolutely.- Hilary, you failed to achieve perfection.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21You enjoyed playing, though, I can see it.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- Very much so.- Not too sad about it. - No, it's OK.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Ladies and gentlemen, Hilary.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28APPLAUSE
0:43:28 > 0:43:32Please join us next time when our usual suspects have the chance to play again,
0:43:32 > 0:43:34this time for £6,000.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Remember, close isn't good enough. On this show,
0:43:37 > 0:43:40we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
