Episode 12 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands nothing less than perfection.

These four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless.

One single mistake could give the game away. This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Welcome to the show where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants, "the usual suspects".

They're in an isolation room. One of them will be randomly selected to join me.

They'll face a series of true or false statements.

For example, if I said...

..would you say that's true or false?

If you'd said true, I can tell you you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets one answer wrong,

the usual suspects will come into the game to capitalise on their mistake.

So, you know how the game works. Let's meet the usual suspects.

I'm Kaye. I'm a hospice fundraising manager from Burnley, Lancashire, and this is my first game.

My name is Sherise. I'm a flight attendant from London. This is my second game.

Hello. My name is Gary. I'm a project engineer from Marlborough, Devon.

This is my third game.

Hi, I'm Guy. I'm a web producer from south London, and this is my seventh game.

Welcome to all of you. Best of luck.

We now find out which of you will be randomly picked to play Perfection.

Gary, it's you that's been picked. Please come and play Perfection.

-Gary, welcome to the game. You're from Marlborough in Devon.

-Yes.

-Where's that near? Salcombe way?

-Salcombe way, yes.

-That's pretty. Beautiful.

-Very pretty.

Lovely. Gary, it's you versus the usual suspects. They were your team mates. You were getting on well.

Now they're enemies. They want to stop you winning the prize fund.

Your failure means the prize fund rolls over and they could play for a bigger total.

Every game is worth £1,000.

Nobody's won the past five games

so the current prize fund stands at £6,000.

APPLAUSE

That's a lot of money. If you win, what will you spend it on?

My wife's never been abroad, never owned a passport,

and she's had a lifelong dread of flying.

Her undying love for wildlife makes me want to take her to Kenya on safari.

-A morbid fear of flying, so to treat her, you're putting her on a plane!

-Yes!

On her own!

-Maybe if you took a cruise down to Africa?

-No, she's scared of boats as well!

Blimey!

Right, good for you. Good for her. Hopefully if you do well. Here's how the game works.

You play three rounds, then a final. Each round you achieve perfection makes the final easier.

If your performance is less than perfect, the usual suspects have a chance to steal the round

making the final harder.

More of that later. Usual suspects, we'll switch you off for now.

Cheerio! Away they go.

Gary, you can now talk without giving away vital knowledge.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You're against the clock. You have 45 seconds. Once you've given your answers,

-they'll be locked in. Ready?

-Fine.

-Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

False. That was David Bowie.

False.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

With almost half your time left to go, you've answered all four statements.

Which one are you worried about?

C, because I couldn't remember when Stephen Hawking got his debilitating disease.

Before we see how you've done, let's see what the usual suspects have to say.

Usual suspects, these are the four statements, and Gary's answers.

-Kaye, has he achieved perfection?

-I don't think he's achieved perfection.

I know D is wrong

-because I'm sure it was Rodin that sculptured The Kiss, not Klimt.

-OK.

Gary, the moment of truth. You need to have answered perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Gary. That's the way to do it. You've achieved perfection.

Let's have a look at those answers. If a statement is true, it'll turn green, if it's false, red.

John Wayne was known as the Thin White Duke. True or false?

-False. Who was the Thin White Duke, you said it.

-David Bowie.

-And John Wayne was known as...

-The Duke.

-The Duke.

Lava lamps contain volcanic lava. True or false?

We know that it's false. They don't.

Stephen Hawking was a rowing cox at Oxford. You had a good think.

Your reasoning was very good. It was true.

The Kiss is a work by the artist Gustav Klimt.

It turned out to be true.

Interestingly enough, Rodin did do a sculpture called The Kiss.

But Klimt did paint a picture called The Kiss.

Well done. What a great start. Bad luck, usual suspects.

You don't get a look in. Gary, as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier. Here's how.

This is your final board. These blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Behind each category will be a true or false statement and you need to answer all six to win the prize.

Here are your final round categories.

Snooker, sci fi films, transport, painters, nursery rhymes and many in-between.

Because you won the round, you can choose two categories to add to the board.

If the usual suspects had won,

they'd be adding two categories of their choice trying to make your life harder.

So, which two would you like to play in the final?

-History.

-History goes across.

-Sci fi films.

-And sci fi films.

Usual suspects, we'll see you next round. Now we'll switch you off. Bye.

Away they go.

Gary, now they've gone and can't hear you, anything you really want to avoid?

It's a long time since I read any nursery rhymes to my kids cos they're quite old now!

-So probably nursery rhymes.

-OK. Gary,

a great start. In order to control the game, do exactly what you did then.

-Ready?

-Fine.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

No idea.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-False.

Loads of time left. You didn't need it. You've answered four statements.

-Happy with that?

-Fairly.

Not tremendously happy, but fairly happy.

Before we reveal how you've done, let's bring back the usual suspects.

Usual suspects, these are the four statements with Gary's answers. Guy,

-how's he done?

-I think he might well have achieved perfection.

-A good round.

-You think he's not letting you in again. Sherise?

-I'm with Guy. I think it's perfection.

A huge vote of confidence from the usual suspects.

You need to have answered all four perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Three out of four isn't bad, but not enough in this game. You've failed to achieve perfection.

You've let the usual suspects into the game. Usual suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Gary's answers. You need to change just one.

But which one?

GUY: There's no way Bruce Willis has been in a film with Sinatra.

-He's been around a while.

-He's been in a lot of things.

Is there such a thing as rugby league? I think it's different.

There is rugby league, but I don't know the difference. I couldn't tell you.

-Shall we change B rather than A?

-I'm tempted to go with B.

Actually, I would like to say B.

In that case, we'll change B from false to true.

B from false to true, leaving A, C and D as they were.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Ronan O'Gara has played rugby union for Ireland. True or false?

It is true. He's also captained the British Lions as well.

Bruce Willis has acted in a film with Frank Sinatra. This is a key one you've changed.

True or false?

It is absolutely true.

In a 1980 film The First Deadly Sin.

The Oaks horse race is run at Newmarket. True or false?

Yes, it is false.

Epsom Downs is where that's run.

You know where this is going. St Peter Port is a town on Jersey. True or false?

False. Congratulations, usual suspects. You have achieved perfection.

Yes, Gary, you knew where St Peter Port was.

-Where is it?

-Guernsey.

-Right.

The usual suspects have succeeded where you failed.

You have the opportunity to make Gary's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

It's £6,000 that you're going to make harder to win. Let's see the final board.

Two subjects already chosen by Gary.

Usual suspects, you've won the right to choose the next two categories on the board.

What might trip him up in the final?

I want to give him nursery rhymes!

-It's a gender thing.

-Yes, like you say, it's a gender thing.

-Let's perpetuate some stereotypes and choose nursery rhymes!

-Nursery rhymes goes across.

-I quite like cutlery. It's so diverse.

-I think we should chuck musicals in, as well.

Musicals.

-Yeah, OK.

-I'm happy with musicals.

-We'll keep cutlery for next.

Thank you. Musicals goes over too. Congratulations, usual suspects,

you won that round. Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Three.

Away they go.

Gary, with the usual suspects gone,

nursery rhymes you hoped you wouldn't get.

Dig back in your memory to when you did read them to your kids!

-What about musicals?

-Two definitely low blows there!

You still have one more chance to achieve perfection and choose your own categories.

-Ready to play the next round?

-I am.

Let's play Round Three.

45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

Never heard the word.

I'm going to plump for...

Beltway.

-False.

-False.

You answered four statements within the time. Well done.

That worried you, the last one.

Very much so.

Before we see how you've done, let's bring back the usual suspects.

Hello, usual suspects. These are the four statements with Gary's answers.

Sherise, how's he done?

-I think I agree with about three of them.

-Which one don't you like?

D. Something's niggling me about D.

-Kaye?

-I'm not too sure about B.

Abigail's Party was by a famous director, but whether it was Ken Loach, I'm not sure.

Gary, you need to have answered all statements perfectly to win the round.

You won the first round, they won the second. How many did you get correct here?

Just two of the four this time.

You've let the usual suspects into the game.

Usual suspects, you can see Gary's answers. You need to change two.

-Which two will you change?

-We all agreed on D.

-Changing that one?

-D from false to true, please.

-And one more to change.

-Between Abigail's Party and Ancient Rome.

-Mike Leigh?

-Ken Loach doesn't ring true for me for Abigail's Party.

Although he's a very famous director.

-I'm leaning to B, to be honest.

-OK, B.

B changes, then, from true to false,

leaving A and C as answered by Gary.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Alex Salmond is the President of Scotland. True or false?

Absolutely false.

He became the first minister of Scotland in 2007.

Ken Loach directed the TV play Abigail's Party. True or false?

It is false. It was Mike Leigh. Dormice were a popular snack in ancient Rome. True or false?

True. They loved their dormice!

Very often stuffed with mince and herbs. Mmm(!)

In American English, a beltway is a ring road. True or false?

Yes, it's true. Congratulations, usual suspects. You have achieved perfection.

Yes, the handshake like Auld Lang Syne seems to be catching on.

Oh, dear, Gary. The usual suspects have succeeded where you failed.

Usual suspects, you have the opportunity of making Gary's chances of winning the prize a bit harder.

Let's see the final board. Four subjects chosen so far.

The first two by Gary, and the next two by you, the usual suspects.

Because you won the round, you choose the last two subject categories on the board.

Which two would you like him to play in the final?

-I have a suggestion.

-Go on.

-US States, based on his limited knowledge of beltways

-and his "aerophobic" wife.

-No, he won't have been to America, will he?

-Yes.

-Good one.

-US States. Thank you. And one last one.

-I'm tempted with cutlery.

-You've got a thing about cutlery!

-I just think he'll know about the others.

-Let's twist the knife and go with cutlery!

-Oh, you're on fire today, aren't you?

-Yes!

OK, so cutlery goes across and completes the final board. Our six final categories are...

OK, guys, time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio!

Away they go.

-Now, £6,000 up for grabs.

-Mmm.

Your wife will be at home completely conflicted. She wants you to win the money

but if you win, she's going on a plane and she hates flying!

I might have to do a B.A.Baracus on her and drug her!

I don't think...

Can I say, the BBC does not recommend using drugs to get loved ones onto flights

in the manner of B.A.Baracus!

Listen, Gary, good luck. For £6,000, it's time to play the final.

Gary, this is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £6,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing, great news for the usual suspects,

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £7,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Gary, here are your six final categories.

You must answer all six correctly to win £6,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you give an answer,

it will be locked in.

-OK.

-Ready?

-Yes.

Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me, is it true or false?

Neolithic man, Stone Age man.

True.

True.

Sci Fi films, the second of the two you chose yourself.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

I'm stumped on this one, but I'll go false.

False.

Alaska. Probably covers more area than any other state.

It hasn't got a great deal of population, but neither has Hawaii.

But... No, I'll go true.

-True.

-Yes, I'll go true.

How can you combine a spoon and a fork?

-I'm going to go false.

-False.

Gary, those answers are now locked in.

If there's one single mistake, you leave with nothing.

OK, let's bring back the usual suspects and see what they say.

Usual suspects, you can see the six statements and Gary's answers.

Gary, your answers are locked in and you can't change them by yourself,

but you can unlock the board with the help of the usual suspects.

But it will come at a cost.

I'm going to ask how well you think Gary's done, if you want to help, and if so, how much it will cost.

Remember, you can't refer to any of the statements specifically.

-Gary, who would you like to hear from first?

-I'd like to hear from Guy. How do you think I've done?

-How do you think you've done?

-I think it's 50/50. I don't think it's perfection.

-I think it's a lot worse than 50/50, to be honest.

-Really?

Yeah. There's a lot of wrong answers there, I think.

-OK.

-But I'm not particularly that inclined to help.

-Not for any amount of money?

-Talk to the others.

-Going down the line, then. Sherise?

-There's one I know the answer to

most definitely. If you were more confident with the one I know,

then we could do something.

But with you not sure, it would be futile me coming down. So maybe not.

-Kaye?

-I know 100% you've got one wrong and I know 100% one's right.

But I'm just not too sure about the others and so for that reason I can't come down and help you.

OK. Let's get to the nitty-gritty. You have a prize fund currently available to you

of £6,000.

You've got £6,000 to tempt them with. Or you can choose to go it alone.

They may be bluffing and you may have done well.

Well, again, then the offer is to go 50/50 with the cash.

He's offering £3,000 for someone to come and help.

-Guy?

-I'm going to wait for another game, I think.

-Guy's definitely out. Sherise?

-Sorry, Gary, I would like to help but I'm afraid I can't.

-Fair enough.

So that's two out. You've just got Kaye left.

-Kaye, would you come down for £3,000?

-I don't think so, no.

There's three there that I could probably say I'm sure were right,

but three out of six isn't enough to come down for.

Looks like negotiations are over, I'm afraid.

-No-one's willing to help, so you're on your own.

-Fine.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

You'll have to wait and see how the dice fall.

£6,000 at stake. Six answers away. Let's see if you achieved perfection.

If the statement turns green, it's true.

If it turns red, it's false. Let's start at the top.

A sensible place to start.

The Neolithic Age ended over 100,000 years ago.

You said true. To get a good start, we need that to turn green.

Is it true or false?

It's false.

I'm afraid you're looking at really around 10,000 years ago that it began.

I'm afraid right at the top there you failed to achieve perfection.

That means you're not going home with the money.

Have you achieved perfection at home?

Let's find out.

The third Matrix film was subtitled Reloaded.

You said true. True or false?

It's false. Guy, you're shaking your head. Do you know what it was called?

-Revolutions.

-Revolutions.

There you go. So that's, I'm afraid, two wrong.

Little Jack Horner ate curds and whey. True or false?

False.

-What was Jack Horner eating?

-Pudding and pie in the corner.

Yes. Christmas pudding it was supposed to be.

Three wrong so far. The song Memory is from Cats. True or false?

It's actually true. Alaska has the lowest population of any US state.

You were worried about this. True or false?

I'm afraid it's false. There are two others with a lower population.

Vermont and Wyoming.

So, a spork is a utensil that combines a spoon and a fork.

Hope you got this one. It would be nice to get one right.

A spork is a utensil that combines a spoon and a fork. True or false?

I'm afraid it's true.

-It's true.

-Oh, dear!

-The polite way is to say you didn't achieve perfection.

Absolutely.

Usual suspects, great news for you. The prize fund rolls over to the next game.

One of you could be playing for a total of £7,000.

Look at the smiles. They're very happy with that.

Gary, I'm afraid, you walk away with no money cos you failed to achieve perfection.

-Did you enjoy playing the game?

-Yes. If you're going to fail, fail gloriously!

-Absolutely true!

Let's hear it for Gary, everybody.

It's time to meet the next usual suspect hoping to play today.

New usual suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Mary-Anne, a freelance bookkeeper from Stamford, Lincolnshire.

Best of luck to all of you as we find out which one will be randomly picked to play Perfection.

-Yay!

-Sherise, it's you!

Please come and play Perfection.

-Sherise, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-Pleased to be here?

-You seemed to be enjoying yourself.

-It was nice. No pressure up there!

I'd like to be up there for a while. But not as long as Guy has!

He's on this programme more than I am!

-I like it.

-Sherise, it's you versus the usual suspects.

-They were your team-mates. You were very huggy up there.

-Shaky!

I'm worried about the new handshake! But now they are your enemies.

The good news is, nobody's won the past six games. The prize fund currently stands at £7,000.

Seven's a lucky number!

What would you do with the money?

I've had eczema my whole life and my daughter has it now as well.

There's a place in France that bathes you in water from a mountain.

It's a whole treatment programme and it's meant to cure eczema.

-So you'll take your daughter and give it a try.

-It's worth it.

I hope you do well. £7,000. I hope you do well and take the money away

and stop those people from having it roll over. Look at their faces!

Three rounds and a final to come. Usual suspects, we'll switch you off for now.

Cheerio! And away they go. You can talk through your answers without giving anything away.

-Ready?

-Yes.

-Let's play Perfection.

Round One. 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

She was the warrior princess.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

Time to spare and you've answered all four statements.

-Did it feel like a good round?

-Yes. There was one I was, "Ooh..."

But I think the other three I've definitely got right.

Before we see how you've done, we'll bring back the usual suspects.

These are the four statements, with Sherise's answers.

Guy, how's she done?

A is true, so she's OK there.

In Greek myth, I'm not sure. Did they know about the Amazon?

-Did the Amazons come later? It doesn't add up.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

The moment of truth. You need to answer all statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Part way, but that's not good enough. Perfection is what you needed.

And you haven't achieved it. You've let the usual suspects into the game.

Usual suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change two of Sherise's answers.

Kaye, what do you think?

Well, Guy seems pretty sure about A

and I'm happy to take his word for it.

I'm sure he's seen Avatar.

I know D is correct, so I think we should change B and C.

Mary-Anne?

Yes, B and C.

-OK. B and C it is, then.

-B changes from true to false.

C changes from true to false.

A and B remain as Sherise first answered.

Let's see the correct answers.

The film Avatar is set on the planet Pandora. True or false?

It's true.

In Greek myth, Xena was the queen of the Amazons. True or false?

Xena, warrior princess, is an entire invention of Hollywood.

The men's world long jump record is over 12 metres. True or false?

Eight metres, 95 centimetres is the record.

You know where this is going now, a tamagotchi is an electronic pet.

True or false? True.

Congratulations, usual suspects, you have achieved perfection.

Sherise, they succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round.

Usual suspects, you can make Sherise's chance of winning the prize fund harder.

Here's how. Sherise, this is your final board. These six blank spaces

need to be filled with subject categories -

the internet, ancient worlds, children's TV, definitions, 3-D films

and a good few in-between.

As the usual suspects stole the round from you,

they choose categories to make the final harder.

Usual suspects, which two would you like Sherise to play in the final?

She knew Avatar, so I'd steer clear from 3-D films.

-And kids' TV. Ancient world for the first one.

-Ancient world?

Ancient world goes across. One more.

-Thomas Hardy.

-Thomas Hardy.

-OK.

-Thank you. Thomas Hardy goes across, too.

Usual suspects, time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Two.

Away they go.

-Looking pleased with themselves. Sherise, they've gone.

-Yep.

Looking at the possibles, what would have been disastrous for you?

Motorways. You should see the way I drive!

Any you really fancy?

-Children's TV all day long. Islands, internet.

-That was only the first round.

But there's two more rounds to find perfection and choose your own categories.

-Ready to carry on?

-Let's go.

-Let's play Round Two.

45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

Ooh, I don't know.

I'm going to say true.

True.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-Yeah.

-Loads of time to spare.

You're not hanging around thinking.

-Happy with that?

-Yeah. If I'm unsure, if I overthink it, it ties me up in knots.

Before we see how well you've done, let's bring back the usual suspects.

Usual suspects, these are the four statements and Sherise's answers.

-Kaye?

-I don't think she's done too brilliantly.

I know that Karen Carpenter did play drums, unlikely as that seems.

-Mary-Anne?

-I know nothing about cricket, Phil Tufnell.

But I'm afraid the other three are wrong.

Right. The moment of truth. You need to have answered all four statements perfectly

to win the round. Let's see how many are correct.

None!

It's not moving. It's not moving and that means not only have you not achieved perfection,

you're in trouble, because if you'd got one statement correct,

the usual suspects would have to find the missing answer to win.

However, there's no point in asking you to change the answers because all four are wrong!

You automatically win the round. Congratulations.

Let's fill in the usual suspects' answers which are the exact opposite of Sherise's.

We'll go through them one by one, just to clear up any detail.

Moll Flanders is a book by Robert Louis Stevenson. We now know it's false.

Daniel Defoe actually wrote Moll Flanders.

Cricketer Phil Tufnell was nicknamed The Sloth. No, he wasn't.

He was nicknamed The Cat.

Tom Hollander plays the lead in the sitcom Rev.

That's true.

And Karen Carpenter played drums for the Carpenters, that's true as well.

-She quite often referred to herself as a drummer who also sang.

-Oh.

-Bit of a disaster for you, that time round.

-Just a little bit!

Usual suspects can make Sherise's chance of winning the prize much harder. Let's see the final board.

Two there chosen by the usual suspects.

As you won the round, you can choose the next two categories.

What might trip her up in the final?

I am thinking US politics, but she might fly to the US quite a lot.

-Would she pick things up there?

-What about prisons?

Prisons is a good one.

-OK, let's put across prisons.

-Prisons goes across.

-US Politics, cos it could be something from 20 years ago.

-It could be.

-US Politics.

-US politics goes across as well. Thank you very much.

Congratulations. Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Three.

-Let's have a talk about those two. Prisons?

-Er, never been!

Thanks for clearing that up!

-US Politics?

-Again, I watch Question Time, so...

-Yeah. Worldly-wise. A bit of knowledge. Who knows?

-Who knows?

You got two. Then got none. Let's round it off with a clean sweep in the other direction!

-It would be nice to get one right!

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

With time to spare, you answered all four statements.

Have you achieved perfection?

I'd like to say yes. True. I'm going with true!

-True.

-True.

-Before we see how well you've done, let's have a chat with the usual suspects.

These are the four statements, with Sherise's answers. Kaye,

perfection?

I'm pretty sure you maybe got A wrong.

-I think the jury system's been around quite a long time.

-Guy?

CND might have started in the '60s, maybe.

As for Jamie Lee Curtis and nappies, I'm not sure.

It sounds too silly to make up. I might change that.

The moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four to choose the categories.

Let's see how many were correct.

Just the one of the four.

-A marked improvement on last round!

-Yes!

Nonetheless, not perfection.

So you've now let the usual suspects into the game.

Usual suspects, can you steal this round?

You need to change three. Which three?

D, definitely, cos it's the '50s.

-Is it the '50s?

-Definitely.

I think we'll change A and D.

We're both sure those should change.

-Change A from true to false.

-Thank you.

-Change D from true to false.

-Yep.

-I need one more from you.

-OK.

The Madness one might be right.

They've had quite a lot of singles. Whether they were Top 40, I don't know.

I'm more inclined to change C, Madness. 20 is an awful lot.

As nominal captain because you've been there longest, Guy, you choose.

I'm going to change B from false to true.

B changes from false to true

leaving C as Sherise answered. Usual suspects, let's see what the correct answers are.

The jury system in the UK began in the 20th century. True or false?

False. It's been around hundreds of years. 12th century.

Jamie Lee Curtis has patented a type of nappy.

Is it possible it could be true, or is it false?

Yes, it is! It's true!

-She did, unlikely as it is.

-Well done.

Madness have had over 20 UK Top 40 singles. True or false?

It is true.

They've had over 30. The peace movement CND was formed in the 1970s. True or false?

You know where this is going. False. When did you think, Mary-Anne?

-The 1950s, I think.

-1958.

-The Aldermaston March.

Yes, '58. Congratulations, usual suspects, you've achieved perfection.

You now have the opportunity to make Sherise's chances of winning the prize fund as hard as it can get!

Let's see the final board.

Four subject categories already in the final, all chosen by you.

Because you won the round, you can choose the last two categories as well. Which two?

Inexplicably, we looked at each other and went, "motorways!"

Does that work for you guys?

-Yeah.

-Of course.

-Yeah.

-Motorways is going across.

-And the final one?

-Definitions.

-Thank you very much.

We now know our six final categories.

OK, guys, time to switch you off for the final time.

Away they go. To be honest,

this is the one that counts

-because you're playing for £7,000.

-I know. I know.

It's time to play the final.

Sherise, this is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £7,000.

Fail and you leave with nothing. Great news for the usual suspects,

cos one of them could be playing for a rollover of £8,000 on the next game.

-Ready?

-Let's go.

-Let's play the final round.

Sherise, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win £7,000.

-Think carefully. There's no time limit, but your first answer will be locked in.

-OK.

Ready? Let's reveal your first statement. Is it true or false?

Wow.

I've heard of Carthage.

Was it in North Africa?

-I want to say true.

-True.

I'm going to say true because it's plausible and I don't know.

-So true.

-True.

Birmingham. Strangeways.

I don't think it was a London-based prison.

I'm thinking false. False is what's coming to me, so false.

False.

Ooh.

I'm going to say true. I'm going to say true.

-True.

-Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Now, I know it starts in London. It's in London.

Does it go to Newcastle?

No, I don't know. I'm going to say false.

False.

-False.

-False.

Yep. False.

Thank you, Sherise.

Those answers are now locked in. If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing.

Let's switch on the usual suspects.

Usual suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Sherise's answers.

You can't change the answers by yourself, but you can unlock them with the help of the usual suspects.

But this will come at a cost.

Remember, all of you, you can't refer to any of the statements specifically.

Sherise, who would you like to hear from first?

I think I'll go with Kaye.

I can say with some conviction that there's two you've got right.

Also there's one I'm pretty sure you've got wrong.

I wouldn't gamble on me only knowing for sure half the answers.

-Not for any amount of money?

-Not for any amount of money.

-How about Guy?

-I think two of them are almost definitely wrong.

But the remainder, or at least three of the others,

I'm not that sure on either way.

Also, I like it in here so much!

-Trying to prise you off that chair...

-It's home for me.

-So no amount of money can tempt me out this afternoon.

-OK.

Guy's taken himself out of the equation.

Mary-Anne.

I think you've got 50/50 there.

But of the ones you've got wrong, I could only give you one answer for definite.

So I'll have to rule myself out because I can't help you.

-There's quite a bit of money in the pot here.

-We're talking £7,000.

I'm happy to do 50/50.

So for £3,500, will anybody come down?

-Afraid not.

-I'm afraid not.

-Sorry, Sherise. I'm really sorry.

-I tread the boards alone, then.

-Looks like it.

Negotiations are over. None of them are willing to help.

Sherise, you are on your own. £7,000 at stake.

-Six answers away. Let's find out if you achieved perfection.

-OK.

Starting at the top. The city of Carthage was in North Africa.

True or false? We'd like that to turn green to get you underway.

It is true. Well done.

-You started well. That's the important thing.

-Yep.

Let's press on. In Jude the Obscure,

Jude's surname is Henchard.

-For you, Jude was so obscure, you'd never heard of him!

-Exactly!

Nonetheless, you took a plunge and said true.

So is his surname Henchard? True or false?

I'm afraid it's false. So we know you have not achieved perfection

and therefore won't be going home with the cash.

-His surname was Fawley.

-OK.

Still doesn't do anything for me!

Have you achieved perfection at home?

Let's find out for you. Strangeways was a prison in Birmingham. True or false?

Yes, you were right, it was false. It was in Manchester, Strangeways.

US Presidential elections take place on a Friday. You said true.

We'd like this to turn green. True or false?

False. By law they take place on a Tuesday in November.

-Oh.

-The M1 runs from London to Newcastle.

You said, "Please don't pick me roads!" They picked roads! You plumped for false.

Is it true or false?

-It is false.

-Yeah.

London to Leeds.

We come to the last one. The word "avuncular" means "like an uncle".

You decided it was false.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

But you had a rotten set of questions. You knew it was going to be rotten.

-50/50.

-50/50 chances, and that's how it worked out.

Three right, three wrong. Usual suspects,

great news for you. The prize fund rolls over.

One of you could be playing for a total of £8,000.

-Good times.

-Big cash, isn't it?

-Lovely.

Sherise, you failed to achieve perfection so you go home with nothing.

-But have you had a good time?

-Yes, I've had a really good time.

-You enjoyed being a usual suspect.

-Yeah!

-Thank you very much to everybody. Sherise.

-Thank you.

-Thanks.

That's all we have time for. Please join us next time

when our usual suspects have the chance to play again, this time for £8,000.

But remember on this show, we'll only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
