0:00:02 > 0:00:06Welcome to the show that demands perfection. Behind this screen are four contestants
0:00:06 > 0:00:12who hope their knowledge is flawless, as one mistake could give the game away. This is Perfection.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Behind me are the contestants, the Usual Suspects. They're in our isolation room.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36In a moment, one of them will be randomly selected to join me here to play Perfection.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39They'll then face a series of true or false statements. For example,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42if I said the sun is at the centre of our solar system,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44would you say that's true or false?
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Well, if you'd said true, I can tell you, you'd be right.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Answering true or false might seem easy,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong,
0:00:53 > 0:00:57their opponents will be allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01So, you know how the game works. Let's meet the Usual Suspects.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07My name's Pete, I run a retail outlet in Weston-Super-Mare and this is my first game.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Mary-Anne, I'm a freelance bookkeeper
0:01:10 > 0:01:13from Stamford in Lincolnshire and this is my second game.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I'm Kaye, I'm a hospice fundraiser,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I'm from Burnley in Lancashire and this is my third game.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Hi, I'm Guy, I'm a web producer from South London and this is my ninth game.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Welcome to you all, especially to you, Pete.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- Thank you.- Down your retail outlet, do you get a chance to do some quizzes, crosswords?
0:01:32 > 0:01:38Every fortnight, I do a quiz in a pub team called the Scrambled Eggheads.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Welcome and best of luck, cos we now find out which one of you will be randomly picked to play Perfection.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Mary-Anne, it's you that's been selected. Please come and play Perfection.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54APPLAUSE
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- Welcome.- Thank you.- Did you enjoy your time as a Usual Suspect? - I did, but it was too short.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- Looking forward to being in the spotlight and winning some money, yes?- Oh, yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08No matter how much love there's been up there with the Usual Suspects,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14They were your team mates, they're now your enemies.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Your failure means the prize money rolls over to the next game where they could play for a bigger total.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Yeah.- Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Here's the good news. Nobody has won the past seven games,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33so the prize fund currently stands at £8,000.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- APPLAUSE - Yes!
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Let's dream, shall we? You walk out of here with £8,000. What will you spend it on?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Well, my husband, Brian, is an artist and I'd like to be able to have his art shown.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- What a lovely idea. Good luck with that.- Thank you.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55You play three rounds and a final. Every round you achieve perfection will make the final easier.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01If your performance isn't perfect, the Usual Suspects will have the chance to steal the round,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05making the final that much harder. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now
0:03:05 > 0:03:08so you can't see or hear anything.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- Mary-Anne, you can now talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge. OK.- Yep.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Each round has four true or false statements. You're against the clock. You have 45 seconds.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- Once you give your answers, they'll be locked in. OK?- Yep. - Let's play Perfection.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25APPLAUSE
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Round one. Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- I'm not really sure. I think true. - True?- True, yeah.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47No. It's a fish.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- So you're saying... - A herring. False.- False.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- True.- True.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- False.- False.- Yes.- And with plenty of time left on the clock.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Mary-Anne, you've answered all four statements.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- That felt like a good round for you. - Guesses.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- There's a fair few guesses there. - Yeah?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Arsene Wenger. Football, me, no.- No?
0:04:18 > 0:04:23OK, before we reveal how well you've done, time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Hello. These were the four statements
0:04:25 > 0:04:28and next to them are Mary-Anne's answers.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- So, Pete, let's start with you.- I think she's pretty near perfection
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- if she hasn't got perfection.- Kaye.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I agree with Pete. She's done really, really well.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- The only one I would perhaps question is B.- Right.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Mary-Anne, the moment of truth. You need to answer all four perfectly to win the round.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Let's find out how many are correct.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Three out of four is not bad, but not good enough. You haven't achieved perfection.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02You now let your enemies into the game.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07You can see Mary-Anne's answers.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- You need to change just one of them. - I think C might be wrong.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I think, if the others are right, C might be wrong.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Unless the rollmop was a hairstyle.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22You know in the 1940s when ladies wore their hair rolled up,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25smooth on top and then rolled up at the bottom?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- I think A and D are right.- OK.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- So it's between B and C?- Yes.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- I'm persuaded by this B thing. - Really? I don't know for sure.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37It's only like... I just think that hairstyle might be a rollmop.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- OK. We're going to change B from false to true.- B changes,
0:05:41 > 0:05:45leaving A, C and D as answered by Mary-Anne.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Let's find out the correct answers.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51If a statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57True.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05It's false.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It is, as you know, a pickled herring dish.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11We're not aware of a hairstyle called the rollmop.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17It's false.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19It is the nickname for Jose Mourinho.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25You know where this is going. True or false?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yep, it's false. It's by Boris Pasternak.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33you'd have the chance to make Mary-Anne's chances of winning much harder.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38And here's how. Mary-Anne, this is your final board appearing.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Behind each category will be a true or false statement. You need to answer all six correctly
0:06:46 > 0:06:50to win the prize fund. Here are the final round categories.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Had you achieved perfection, you could now add two categories to the board.
0:06:59 > 0:07:05Because neither side won, the two categories due to be chosen will be carried over to the next round,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08meaning four categories will be on offer.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Usual Suspects, time to switch you off. See you in round two. Away they go.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Mary-Anne, now that the Usual Suspects are gone,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18what do you think of the categories on offer?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Well, the size of me, eating out.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Eating out. More to the point, what do you really want to avoid?
0:07:25 > 0:07:31- Politicians.- Politicians you'd like to steer clear of.- No time for them.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- You ready for the next round? - Yep.- Let's play round two.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46SHE LAUGHS
0:07:46 > 0:07:49That sounds silly, but I think it's true.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- True?- Yes.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Yes, that's true.- True.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Oh, heavens. It was invented in Scotland, but...
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- I'm going to say false.- False.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Oh.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I've got a feeling it might be Wales.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Erm, I'm going to say false. - False.- Yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Just within the allotted time, you've answered all four statements.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Not so good that round?- No, not really.- Didn't like the questions?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- No.- No. OK. Well, before we reveal how well you've done,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37let's bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42So, Usual Suspects, these are the statements with Mary-Anne's answers.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Kaye, what do you think? - I'm not sure about A.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49I'm not sure Japan would call Dragon's Den "Big Money Bags."
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- It just seems a bit strange. - Guy, has she achieved perfection?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Erm, B and C are both right, I think.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57But the other two I really haven't heard of.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00The idea that A is true does give me a real kick.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03The moment of truth. You need all four statements correct
0:09:03 > 0:09:06to have won the round. Let's find out how many are correct.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Just two of the four. That means you have not achieved perfection.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19It also means you've let your enemies into the game.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25Good one to steal, Usual Suspects, with four categories on offer.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28You can see Mary-Anne's answers. You need to change two of them.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Which two?- If it was my decision alone, I'd go for A and D.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- To change?- Yes.- They're also the ones I'd change.- OK.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41- So, we'd like to change A from true to false, please.- Thanks, Guy.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- And D from false to true.- Thank you.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Leaving B and C as Mary-Anne originally answered.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56That's false.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59It's called Money Tigers.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05It's true.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Mary Queen of Scots used to play golf. True or false?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- No!- You're joking! - Yep, she loved the game.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Is D true or false?
0:10:19 > 0:10:24It's false. It is largely found in the Peak District.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31Oh, dear, you had the chance to steal the round from Mary-Anne but you failed to achieve perfection.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Let's have a look at the board.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Still nothing on the board and there's nothing added to it, either.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Mary-Anne, because neither side won the round,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45the four categories that were on offer will now be carried over into the next round,
0:10:45 > 0:10:50meaning that six categories will be on offer on the result of round three.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off, and we'll see you again in round three.
0:10:55 > 0:11:02OK, Mary-Anne, this is important now, because six categories all rest on this one round.
0:11:02 > 0:11:08If you can do well here, you get to pick your own categories and control your own destiny in the final.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- It would be a good one to win. - It would be.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- OK, let's play round three. - APPLAUSE
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Your 45 seconds start now.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Oh, God. He was alive then. Erm...
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- I'd say yes, true.- True.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Erm, I think that is true. - True.- Yeah.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Ooh.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Erm...
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Er, false, I think.- False.- Yeah.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- That, I know, is true.- True.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01And with time to spare, you've answered all four statements.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- Now, that felt like a much more comfortable round for you. - A bit better for me, yeah.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Before we see how well you did, let's have a chat with the Usual Suspects.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Usual Suspects, hello.- ALL: Hello.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17These are the four statements and Mary-Anne's answers.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Guy, has she achieved perfection? - I don't think she has this time.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I think Jimi Hendrix played the Isle of Wight Festival
0:12:24 > 0:12:27but maybe not the first Glastonbury Festival.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- Kaye?- I'm pretty sure she's got B and D right.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Pete? - A is the only one that's wrong there.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36You can see the Barrier Reef from space.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- When I was on the Barrier Reef, I could see space, anyway.- All right.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Mary-Anne, the moment of truth. You need perfection to win the round.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Let's find out how many are correct.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Stopped just short of perfection.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Which means you've let the Usual Suspects in again.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Usual Suspects, this is a really good one to win.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09You can see Mary-Anne's answers. You need to change just one. Which one?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Got to be A, guys. - Mia Farrow you're pretty sure about?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Yes.- Yeah. - And D I'm pretty sure about.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19That leaves us A, changing A from true to false.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21A changes from true to false,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23leaving B, C and D as answered by Mary-Anne.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Usual Suspects, let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:13:34 > 0:13:41A is false. He died the day before the first one.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Moving on. You've got a pretty good idea where these are going.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53B is true. Pete, you can see it the other way round.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- THEY LAUGH - Works that way, too.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00We now know C is false.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03It was Frank Sinatra that she was married to.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11D is true, Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you achieved perfection.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13APPLAUSE
0:14:16 > 0:14:22Mary-Anne, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Mary-Anne's chances of winning the prize fund
0:14:27 > 0:14:30as hard as possible. Let's see the final board.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35Because you won the round, you've earned the right to choose six categories
0:14:35 > 0:14:39to add to the board. Which six would you like Mary-Anne to play in the final?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Shall we choose two each? - Good idea.- Pete, which two?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I'd like politicians and mythology, please.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Politicians goes across and mythology.
0:14:49 > 0:14:55- Kaye?- I think I quite like power. I'm not sure what that's about,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- but I'll put power across. - Power. And?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00And I think European history.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04European history. Which leaves Guy to choose two.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Birds and composers.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Birds goes across.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12And, finally, composers.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15We now know our six final categories. They are...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Tough.- Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off for the final time.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31And away they go. For £8,000, it's time to play the final.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33APPLAUSE
0:15:33 > 0:15:41This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection, you could leave with £8,000.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44If you fail, you could leave with nothing. You ready?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Yep.- Let's play the final round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49APPLAUSE
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Mary-Anne, here are your six final categories.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win that £8,000.
0:15:57 > 0:16:03Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you've given your first answer, it's locked in.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- Ready?- Yep.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Let's reveal your first statement. Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Erm...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23He was a prime minister,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26but I think he was a Tory,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- so I think that is false. - False?- Yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Nike was a goddess of victory.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44But was this Greek or Roman?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- I'm going to say true.- True.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Turkey dung can be used as a source of power.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59I've got a feeling that they used to use chicken poo
0:16:59 > 0:17:01in the war
0:17:01 > 0:17:03to make a gas
0:17:03 > 0:17:06which then powered a car,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10so if chicken poo can be used, I think turkey poo can be, as well,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- so I think, yes, that's true.- True.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Portugal gained independence from Spain in 1800.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Er...
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- I think it's false.- False.- Yeah.
0:17:29 > 0:17:35Birds. The bald eagle is the national bird of the USA.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Right. I've seen one. I've seen one.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42And I saw it in America, which is rare,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44cos they're in Canada mostly.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Yes, it is true.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- True.- Yes.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58Rhapsody In Blue is a piece by George Gershwin.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- True.- True.- Yes.- Mary-Anne, those answers are locked in.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Remember, if there's one mistake, you leave with nothing.
0:18:07 > 0:18:13- Which ones are you unsure of?- D. D, definitely. I have no real idea.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Let's bring back the Usual Suspects and see what they've got to say.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Mary-Anne's answers.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Your answers are locked in and you can't change them by yourself.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31If you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34But this will come at a cost. Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you
0:18:34 > 0:18:39to tell me how well you think Mary-Anne has done, if you want to help and how much it will cost.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Remember, you can't refer to any of the statements specifically.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- Mary-Anne, who would you like to hear from first?- Pete.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well, Mary-Anne, I definitely know you've got two wrong
0:18:50 > 0:18:53and I'm very, very unsure about another one.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Kaye?- There's three that I'm pretty sure you've got right,
0:18:56 > 0:19:03but I wouldn't be prepared to come down for that, sorry.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Right.- Kaye's ruled herself out altogether.- Guy.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09There's one that leaps out at me as wrong.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Apart from that, I couldn't really say,
0:19:12 > 0:19:17- so I don't think money will convince me to join you. - You're definitely sure about one?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I wouldn't go so far as definitely sure.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24You've got £8,000 to play with here. What do you think?
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Kaye has declared herself out. Guy has declared himself out. Do you want to speak to Pete?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Well, Pete? - I've been thinking long and hard
0:19:33 > 0:19:36and I don't think I can help you out.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I'm uncertain about one and it could swing one way or the other.
0:19:39 > 0:19:47You have £8,000 to play with. You could try and throw money at Pete or go it alone. It's up to you.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Well, because nobody has said they are definitely sure
0:19:51 > 0:19:54that they know one is wrong and that they know the answer...
0:19:56 > 0:20:01..I'm happy with the others, so it's a 50/50 chance.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06So I'm going to go 50/50 chance with £8,000.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- I won't have anybody, I'll do it on my own.- OK.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- I'm pinning it all on D. - Negotiations over.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15You've decided to go it alone. £8,000 at stake.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Let's start at the top.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Alec Douglas-Home was a Liberal Prime Minister.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31You thought he was a Prime Minister and you thought
0:20:31 > 0:20:34he was possibly a Tory, so you said false.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Is it true or false?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- It's false. - APPLAUSE
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Conservative Prime Minister in the sixties, so you were right, Tory.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Nike was the Greek goddess of victory.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Again, you ummed and ahhed. Greek or maybe Roman, you said.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54In the end, you decided it was true.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Is it true or false?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- True. - APPLAUSE
0:21:01 > 0:21:04A third of the way to £8,000. This is interesting, isn't it?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Turkey dung can be used as a source of power.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12- In your memory, you thought...- They used chicken poo during the war.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16So why can't they use turkey dung in a similar way? So you said true.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Turkey dung can be used as a source of power, is that true or false?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- It's true. - APPLAUSE
0:21:28 > 0:21:33- It's used in some electric power stations.- Oh, right.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37So here we find ourselves halfway towards the money
0:21:37 > 0:21:42- and coming up to D, which was that one that you said was a guess. - Mm-hm.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- So let's skip it and go onto E. - Oh, no.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48The bald eagle is the national bird of the USA.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- You said you'd seen one.- Yep. - In America.- Yep.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Is this going to turn green and keep you on the way to the money
0:21:54 > 0:21:57or is it going to turn red and make you walk away with nothing?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- It's true. - APPLAUSE
0:22:08 > 0:22:15Two questions away from £8,000.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18F now. Rhapsody In Blue. Do you know Gershwin?
0:22:18 > 0:22:23I do. I love Gershwin and I'm almost positive that's right.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Almost positive. That's why you went for true.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Rhapsody In Blue is a piece by George Gershwin. True of false?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- It's true. - APPLAUSE
0:22:38 > 0:22:45Look at that board. One, two, three, four, five correct answers to the statements so far.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50You've done brilliantly. You decided to go it alone. You decided to stick to your guns.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54And here we find ourselves one away from the money.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Portugal gained independence from Spain in 1800.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02In the end, you plumped for false. That means you need it to turn red.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06If it turns green, you walk away with nothing.
0:23:06 > 0:23:12- If it turns red, you get the £8,000. - £8,000!
0:23:12 > 0:23:15What are you going to spend it on?
0:23:15 > 0:23:21- If you win.- On my husband getting his artwork into a gallery.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25It all comes down to this. You hope it turns red for you.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Portugal gained independence from Spain in 1800.
0:23:29 > 0:23:36Is that true or false for £8,000?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46It's false! You have achieved perfection!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49APPLAUSE
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Oh!- Sorry!
0:23:55 > 0:24:00- It means that much? - He's a really, really talented artist and he deserves to be shown.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05I'm really pleased for you. You did it on your own, you went through it.
0:24:06 > 0:24:14- That is absolutely fantastic news for you. You have won £8,000. - Thank you.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20Usual Suspects, you'll have to wait a long time in there to build it back up again.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23We're perfectly comfortable. We chose all the categories.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26You literally couldn't have made it harder for her.
0:24:26 > 0:24:32The prize fund has been won, so we reset the total back to £1,000 in our next game.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37- The reason we are resetting is, Mary-Anne, you have won £8,000. Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41I shall look forward to reading about the exhibition.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I hope it goes well and a lot of people get to see your husband's art.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Congratulations. Ladies and gentlemen, Mary-Anne, who achieved perfection!
0:24:49 > 0:24:51APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:57Wow! What a start! It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Hello, I'm Brian, I'm from Wigan and I'm a semi-retired engineer.
0:25:05 > 0:25:11- What sort of engineering? - I've been in the aircraft industry nearly all my working life.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Wow! Interesting. Maybe we'll get to chat about that a bit later on.- Yep.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Everyone's looking a little bit glum because the cash has gone.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21It was a great game, though. She did really well.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26Best of luck as we find out which one of you will be randomly picked to play Perfection.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Kaye, please come and play Perfection.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35APPLAUSE
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- Kaye, welcome to the game. Hospice fundraising manager.- That's right.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- What sort of hospice?- It's an adult hospice in Burnley and Pendle.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- Important work. Good for you. Now, obviously, a bit of a disappointment that the big money went.- Mm.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- Still pleased to be down here playing?- Absolutely. £1,000 is better than nothing. It's wonderful.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Well, Kaye, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02They were your team mates, now they're your enemies. Every game is worth £1,000.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07The previous game was won, so the prize fund is reset to £1,000.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- But £1,000 is good money in today's market, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- If you won it, what would you do with it?- My sons are 21 and 17
0:26:15 > 0:26:20and they've both said if Mum wins some money, they'd like a car each.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- A car each? - Yeah, they don't want one to share.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- My first car cost me £90.- Really? - Yeah, and I ran it for three years.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31So it's possible. OK, three rounds and a final to come.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off so you can't see or hear.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39But as soon as Kaye makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game. Away they go.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Shall we get started?- Why not? - Let's play Perfection.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44APPLAUSE
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58Erm, I think that one is false.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00False.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- I'm pretty sure that's true.- True.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14I'm a fundraiser, I know for a fact that takes place in Gateshead.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- So that one's false.- False.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Erm, I think that one also is false.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30False. And with time to spare, you've answered all four statements.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- That was a pretty good round. - I hope so, yeah.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39OK. Before we reveal how well you did, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43So, these were the four statements and next to them, Kaye's answers.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Brian, has she achieved perfection? - I think she might have.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52I'm not sure about Patricia Cornwell, but I think she's done pretty well.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Guy.- The first three I know she's got right.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59The last one, I don't know the answer, but 50/50,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- so I think she might have got perfection.- The moment of truth.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to win the round. Let's find out.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Three of the four. That's not perfection and that's what we need.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You've now let your enemies into the game.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You must change one answer.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Just one. Which one is it going to be?
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Are you sure...- I'm the same as Guy. I think the top three are right.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- I'm not sure about that bottom one. - I couldn't swear on that one.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- I'll go with you. - We'll change D from false to true.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41D goes from false to true, leaving A, B and C as answered by Kaye.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Usual Suspects, let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47If it turns green, it's true. If it turns red, false.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57A is false. They're red. They're green in the House of Commons.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03B is true.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12C is, of course, false. Newcastle to South Shields.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15So you know where this is going.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Is D true or false?
0:29:21 > 0:29:25It's true. Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27APPLAUSE
0:29:30 > 0:29:34That handshake might need some work. It didn't really work.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Kaye, they succeeded where you failed. They've stolen the round.
0:29:37 > 0:29:43Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Kaye's chances of winning the prize fund harder.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Here's how. Kaye, this is your final board and the six blank spaces
0:29:47 > 0:29:52need to be filled with subject categories. Here are your final round categories.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,
0:30:01 > 0:30:05they choose the two categories, hoping to make the final harder for you.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Usual Suspects, which two would you like Kaye to play in the final?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- I struggle with this. - Astronomy look good.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- Astronomy looks a good one, but... - You both say astronomy?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18OK, cool. We'll put astronomy across, then.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Astronomy goes in. - I'd go for mountains.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Medals.- Or medals. - Medals could be tricky.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- OK, we need an answer. - Medals, maybe? We'll do mountains next time. Medals.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32Medals, thank you very much. Medals goes across. Well done, Usual Suspects, you won the first round.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36It's time to switch you off but we will see you in round two.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Kaye, what do you think of those choices? Astronomy, medals?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I don't know. I know a little bit about both of those subjects,
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- it's just whether what you know comes up in the questions. - You're right.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52All right. It's only the first round. You still have two more rounds to find perfection
0:30:52 > 0:30:56and choose your own categories for the final. Let's play round two.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58APPLAUSE
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11Erm... Hm, that's a hard one, literally.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Erm...
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- I think that could be true.- True.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25- Erm, I don't think they are. I'm not sure where they are, but I'm going to say false.- False.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33I don't think he has, or else we'd have all heard about it, I think.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34- I'm going to say false.- False.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- I think she was the wife of the president, so that's false.- False.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Nicely timed. You used your time wisely there
0:31:45 > 0:31:48and you've answered all four statements.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Before we reveal how well you've done, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55These were the four statements and Kaye's answers.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- Guy, has she achieved perfection? - No, I don't think she has.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04I'd pick on A, because I think diamond is the hardest mineral.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- Brian?- Guy's definitely right. Diamond is the hardest mineral.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14OK, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly
0:32:14 > 0:32:17to win the round. Let's find out how many are correct.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Three of the four, but not perfection and that's what you need.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30You've let your enemies into the game.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You must change one answer.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36I've got a good idea where you're going.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- Where are you going to go? - A. It's diamond.- It's A.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43What can I say? Change A from true to false.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Sorry, Kaye. - A changes from true to false.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49B, C and D remain as Kaye answered.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Let's find out the correct answers.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Marble is the hardest naturally -occurring mineral. True of false?
0:32:55 > 0:33:01Yep, it's false. Diamond is considered to be the hardest.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08B is false. In Lyon since 1989.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Guy Ritchie has directed an EastEnders episode, true or false?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14No, he hasn't. Cockney gangster films, obviously,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17but never the cockney soap.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24D is false. Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26APPLAUSE
0:33:29 > 0:33:32You're right, wife of the president, never president herself.
0:33:32 > 0:33:38Kaye, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.
0:33:38 > 0:33:44Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Kaye's chances of winning £1,000 much harder.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Let's see the final board.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49On it, two subjects chosen by you already.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54Because you won the round, you've earned the right to choose the next two categories.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- Which two do you fancy? - Did we say mountains?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Mountains from last time. Do we still like that?- Yep.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04I can't think of a good mountain joke, so I'll just say mountains.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Mountains. But thanks for working for us.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Mountains goes across. And?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- British history?- Yeah.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- British history. - British history goes in. Thank you.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've won the second round.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in round three.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- OK, let's play round three. - APPLAUSE
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Do you know, I think that's true. I think I've heard that.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Yeah, I think that's true.- True.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Hm, it seems unlikely and it doesn't sound like a Celtic name,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- so I'm going to say that's false. - False.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- I can't imagine it ever has been. I'm going to say false.- False.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- I think that's false, too. Yeah. - False.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09And with plenty of time to spare, you whipped through that with ease.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Mm. I'm hoping they're educated guesses.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18But the way the questions are worded, it really makes you doubt yourself.
0:35:18 > 0:35:24Sometimes you just have that little inkling of knowledge at the back of your mind and you're not sure.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Time to have a chat with the Usual Suspects and see what they think.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and Kaye's answers.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- Pete, is it perfection? - I wouldn't like to say.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- There's a couple there I just don't know.- Guy, how has she done?
0:35:38 > 0:35:43B and C seem fine. The other two... I really should know D.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Marx and Lenin wrote something together, but I'm not sure.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Quite possibly perfection, so well done.- Ah. The moment of truth.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Let's find out how many are correct.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Ooh! Yay! - APPLAUSE
0:36:03 > 0:36:09Congratulations, Kaye. You achieved perfection. That's what it's all about. Let's look at the answers.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Sophia Loren has spent time in prison for tax evasion.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16We now know that that is true.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19A Walloon is a fairy in Irish folklore, true or false? It's false.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24Actually, Walloon in the name of people who speak French
0:36:24 > 0:36:26- in South Belgium.- Really?- Yeah.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Fox hunting is a former Olympic event.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33That is, as you said, false.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Lenin wrote The Communist Manifesto, true or false?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39It is, of course, false.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- It was written by... - Was it Karl Marx?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Karl Marx and, Guy, who was the other one?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Trotsky? Engels.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- Friedrich Engels. Very good. He got there in the end.- He did.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55He said he ought to know it and he did when he finally dragged it out. You got it from along the line?
0:36:55 > 0:36:59OK, look, bad luck, Usual Suspects. She did very well, though.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- She really did.- Kaye, as a result of that perfect performance,
0:37:03 > 0:37:08you've made winning the fund that little bit easier. Let's have a look at your finals board.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12It's got four subjects on it, chosen by the Usual Suspects. You won the round
0:37:12 > 0:37:16so you've earned the right to choose the last two categories.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21I think I'm going to put across children's books.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Children's book. We need one more.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29I'm going to go for holiday camps, cos I think there's only so many questions you could ask.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34Holiday camps goes across. We now know our six final categories. They are...
0:37:39 > 0:37:43It's time to switch off the Usual Suspects for the last time.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47Away they go. Kaye, it's time to play the final.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49APPLAUSE
0:37:49 > 0:37:54Kaye, this is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection, you leave with £1,000.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58If you fail, you could leave with nothing. Let's play the final round.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Kaye, here are your final six categories.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £1,000. Think carefully.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, your first answer is locked in.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- You ready?- Mm-hm. - Let's reveal your first statement.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false. Astronomy.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26There is an asteroid named after Michael Palin.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29I can't... I can't imagine that that's true,
0:38:29 > 0:38:32cos asteroids, I think, don't hang around.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35I think they just, sort of, fizzle away, don't they?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- So I'm going to say that's false. - False.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44Medals. The island of Malta was awarded the George Cross.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- I'm going to say that's true.- True.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Mountains.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53K2 has never been climbed.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57I think there would be somebody regularly trying to do it
0:38:57 > 0:39:02- and we'd hear about it if it hadn't been climbed, so false.- False.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05British history.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10The Ridgeway is an ancient path in the south of England.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13It could very well be, but I've not heard of it.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Erm...
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- I'm going to say true.- True.- Yep.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Children's books.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Timmy is the dog in the Secret Seven books.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I've read all of them when I was younger,
0:39:30 > 0:39:33and I definitely know Timmy is the name of a dog,
0:39:33 > 0:39:37but whether it was the Secret Seven or the Famous Five, I don't know.
0:39:37 > 0:39:44- I'm going to guess that it was Secret Seven and say true.- True.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47And finally, holiday camps.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51The first Butlins camp was opened in Skegness.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56I've been to the one in Skegness, but was it the first one?
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- I'm going to say true.- True.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Kaye, those answers are locked in.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05If there's one single mistake, you leave with nothing.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12You can now see the final six statements and Kaye's answers.
0:40:12 > 0:40:18Kaye, your answers are locked in. You can't change them by yourself, but you can unlock them
0:40:18 > 0:40:21with the help of the Usual Suspects. It will come at a cost.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Remember, you can't refer to any of the statements specifically.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- Who would you like to speak to first?- I'll go straight to Guy.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31I'm not really that wise.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35I think you've done OK, to be honest. If I was you,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38I wouldn't offer me any of your money for the help I can give,
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- which is not that much.- Not that you're likely to come down anyway.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44You know I don't do that kind of thing.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48- And you like it in there.- Yeah.- So?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51I'll go along the row. I'll ask Pete next.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56Well, I know you've got five right, but I'm not sure about another one,
0:40:56 > 0:41:01so I wouldn't come down and alter it after what happened the last game.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- Thank you. Brian? - I don't think you need any help.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I think you've done pretty well.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Looks like negotiations are over. They're not coming down to help
0:41:09 > 0:41:13- so it looks like you're on your own. - It's all or nothing, then.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17£1,000 at stake. Six answers away. Let's find out if you achieved perfection.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Right, let's start at the top.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24There's an asteroid named after Michael Palin.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27You thought about that, thought it was daft
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- because asteroids don't hang around long enough. - I think they just fizzle out.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Sometimes they drop to earth. Actually, those are meteors.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39- I don't know.- You went for false. This needs to turn red.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Is it true or false?
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Oh, no. - It's true. What a rotten start.
0:41:45 > 0:41:51- Fallen at the first hurdle. - So, that's a rotten start and you have failed to achieve perfection,
0:41:51 > 0:41:55therefore you're not going to win the money. Have you managed to achieve perfection at home?
0:41:55 > 0:41:58We'll press on and have a look.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01The island of Malta was awarded the George Cross, true or false?
0:42:01 > 0:42:05- Is it true. They won it in the Second World War.- Mm-hm.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09K2 has never been climbed, is that true or false? You said false.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13It is false. First climbed in 1954.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16The Ridgeway is an ancient path in the south of England.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19You weren't sure but you said it could be true. Is it true or false?
0:42:19 > 0:42:24It is true. It's believed to be the remains of the land bridge
0:42:24 > 0:42:30that used to connect us to Europe and they believe the first animals and people walked along it.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Very ancient, it is. Timmy is the dog in the Secret Seven books.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39You really wrestled with this one. You went Famous Five, Secret Seven.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43You went for true in the end. Is it true or false?
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Ohh. It's Famous Five.- Famous Five.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- Never mind.- Scamper is the dog in the Secret Seven books.- Really?
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- That's not ringing any bells at all. - OK, and finally,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57the first Butlins camp was opened in Skegness. Is it true or false?
0:42:57 > 0:43:00It's true, it was in Skeggy.
0:43:00 > 0:43:021936.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07Well, you did very well. Four out of six.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- Not bad but not good enough, I'm afraid.- No.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.
0:43:12 > 0:43:17The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could play for £2,000.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20- You've got to be pleased. - Yeah.- Good result.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24Jolly good. Guy, you're not doing anything for the rest of your life, are you?
0:43:24 > 0:43:29Kaye, I'm afraid you failed to achieve perfection, which means you go home with nothing.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- Kaye, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:43:33 > 0:43:36That's all we have time for. Please join us again next time
0:43:36 > 0:43:40when our Usual Suspects have the chance the play again for £2,000.
0:43:40 > 0:43:45But remember, on this show, we only pay you for perfection. Goodbye.
