Welcome to the quiz that demands perfection.

0:00:020:00:04

These four contestants will be hoping their knowledge is flawless

0:00:040:00:08

because one single mistake could give the game away.

0:00:080:00:10

This is Perfection.

0:00:100:00:12

APPLAUSE

0:00:200:00:22

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

0:00:230:00:27

We call our contestants the Usual Suspects.

0:00:270:00:30

They're in our isolation room and one will be randomly selected

0:00:300:00:34

to join me here to play Perfection.

0:00:340:00:36

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

0:00:360:00:38

If I said, "The aria Nessun Dorma was written by Puccini,"

0:00:380:00:42

would you say that's true or false?

0:00:420:00:44

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

0:00:440:00:48

Answering true or false might seem easy

0:00:480:00:51

but if the contestant gets an answer wrong,

0:00:510:00:53

the Usual Suspects will be allowed into the game

0:00:530:00:56

to capitalise on their mistake.

0:00:560:00:58

So, you know how the game works. Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

0:00:580:01:02

I'm Ian, a market researcher.

0:01:020:01:04

I'm from Bridgend and this is my first game.

0:01:040:01:06

I'm Anthony, I'm a civil servant from Southport and this is my third game.

0:01:060:01:10

Hello. I'm Barbara. I'm a retired teacher from Purton near Swindon

0:01:100:01:15

and this is my fourth game.

0:01:150:01:17

I'm Mel. I'm a staff nurse from Nottingham

0:01:170:01:19

and this is my fifth game.

0:01:190:01:21

Best of luck as we find out

0:01:210:01:22

which of you will be randomly picked to play.

0:01:220:01:24

Barbara, it's you. Please come and play Perfection.

0:01:290:01:32

-Barbara, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

0:01:350:01:37

-So a school teacher.

-I was deputy head of a large primary school.

0:01:370:01:40

-Deputy head!

-Yes.

0:01:400:01:41

-Ooh.

-Yeah.

-That's quite stressful,

-Very stressful.

0:01:410:01:45

I can imagine. So talking of stress, which one looks stressed and which looks calm?

0:01:450:01:49

I think Mel's got a pretty good handle on the game

0:01:490:01:52

because of how long she's been there.

0:01:520:01:54

Anthony's a very clever man and Ian's an unknown quantity,

0:01:540:01:59

so we'll see.

0:01:590:02:01

Good. Barbara, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

0:02:010:02:04

They were your team-mates, they're now your enemies.

0:02:040:02:08

Your failure will mean the prize money rolls over to the next game

0:02:080:02:11

when one of them could be playing for a bigger total.

0:02:110:02:14

-It would be much nicer to take the cash away.

-Absolutely.

0:02:140:02:17

Every game is worth £1,000. Nobody's won the last five games,

0:02:170:02:21

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

0:02:210:02:25

APPLAUSE

0:02:250:02:26

So you can leave here on your way back to Swindon with £6,000.

0:02:290:02:32

-What's it going to be spent on?

-I want to start a small business.

0:02:320:02:35

I have Siamese cats, that I show, so I'm very into cats

0:02:350:02:40

and I want to be able to take their pedigrees

0:02:400:02:44

and put photographs of the actual cats in on the pedigree

0:02:440:02:48

and produce something to hang on the wall.

0:02:480:02:50

Well, if that's where you're going to put the money, good luck to you.

0:02:500:02:54

Here's how the game works. You'll play three rounds and a final.

0:02:540:02:58

Every round that you achieve Perfection makes the final easier.

0:02:580:03:01

If your performance is less than perfect, the Usual Suspects can steal the round,

0:03:010:03:07

making the final that much harder - more of that later.

0:03:070:03:09

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off,

0:03:090:03:12

so you can't see or hear anything.

0:03:120:03:14

And away they go.

0:03:140:03:16

Barbara, you can now talk without giving away any vital knowledge, OK?

0:03:160:03:20

-Yes.

-Each round consists of four true or false statements.

0:03:200:03:23

You only have 45 seconds and once you have given your answer, your first answer,

0:03:230:03:28

-it will be locked in, yes?

-Yes.

0:03:280:03:29

-Ready?

-Ready.

-Then let's play Perfection.

0:03:290:03:32

APPLAUSE

0:03:320:03:34

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:03:360:03:38

Good grief, that's my generation but I...

0:03:420:03:46

-False.

-False.

0:03:460:03:48

I think that's true.

0:03:530:03:55

True.

0:03:550:03:56

-I've never heard that. False.

-False.

0:04:000:04:03

-False.

-False.

0:04:070:04:09

With loads of time to spare, you've answered the statements.

0:04:090:04:12

-You look fairly happy with that.

-Not really

0:04:120:04:15

because there's a lot of guesswork going on there.

0:04:150:04:18

The only one I'm fairly sure about is the Klondike

0:04:180:04:20

-because I don't think it's in California.

-Where do you think it was?

-Alaska.

0:04:200:04:24

Before we reveal how well you've done, we'll bring back the Usual Suspects.

0:04:240:04:28

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements with Barbara's answers.

0:04:290:04:33

Ian, how has she done?

0:04:330:04:34

There's a couple of them I'm not quite sure of.

0:04:340:04:38

-Which ones?

-I think the first one.

-Yeah?

0:04:380:04:42

And the Agatha Christie one, C.

0:04:420:04:45

All right. You need to have answered perfectly to have won the round.

0:04:450:04:49

Let's find out how many are correct.

0:04:490:04:51

-Yes!

-APPLAUSE

0:04:580:05:00

Congratulations, Barbara. You've achieved Perfection.

0:05:030:05:07

Let's whizz through those answers.

0:05:070:05:09

If the statement turns green, it's true,

0:05:090:05:11

and if it's false, it turns red.

0:05:110:05:13

Peter Gabriel is a former member of Pink Floyd.

0:05:130:05:15

We now know that to be false. It was, of course, Genesis

0:05:150:05:18

that he was a member of originally.

0:05:180:05:20

A flitch is a salted and cured side of pork.

0:05:200:05:23

We now know that to be true.

0:05:230:05:25

Agatha Christie worked as a code-breaker in World War II.

0:05:250:05:28

We know that to be false.

0:05:280:05:29

She worked in a dispensary at University College Hospital, London.

0:05:290:05:34

And the Klondike Gold Rush took place in California, that's false.

0:05:340:05:39

We know that that's not the case.

0:05:390:05:40

-It happened... Where did you think it was?

-Alaska.

0:05:400:05:44

-It was actually north-west Canada.

-Well, I was close.

0:05:440:05:48

-Well, what's a border between friends?

-What's a border, yes!

0:05:480:05:51

Barbara, as a result of that perfect performance

0:05:510:05:54

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

0:05:540:05:58

Here's your final board.

0:05:580:05:59

Each blank spaces needs a subject category.

0:05:590:06:02

Behind each category will be a true or false statement.

0:06:020:06:05

You'll need to answer all six to win the prize fund.

0:06:050:06:09

Here are your final round categories.

0:06:090:06:12

You won the round, so you can choose two categories to add to that board.

0:06:170:06:20

If the Usual Suspects had won,

0:06:200:06:22

they'd be adding two categories of their choice,

0:06:220:06:25

making the final harder for you.

0:06:250:06:27

Which two do you fancy?

0:06:270:06:28

-I'll go for soap operas.

-Soap operas.

0:06:280:06:31

-And poetry.

-And poetry goes across.

0:06:320:06:36

Wonderful. Usual Suspects, we'll see you in the next round.

0:06:360:06:39

See you later. And away they go.

0:06:390:06:42

Now the Usual Suspects have gone,

0:06:420:06:44

what do you want to avoid on that list?

0:06:440:06:47

Prog rock. I don't even know what that is.

0:06:470:06:51

Probably best to avoid it, then. What would you like to get across?

0:06:510:06:54

-I would go for inventors and phobias.

-OK.

0:06:540:06:58

You've made a great start to the game.

0:06:580:07:01

-If you're ready, we'll see if you can do just as well in round two.

-Thanks.

0:07:010:07:05

Let's play round two. APPLAUSE

0:07:050:07:08

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:07:110:07:14

-True.

-True.

0:07:220:07:23

-False.

-False.

0:07:290:07:31

-False.

-False.

0:07:380:07:40

-No idea. I will say false.

-False.

0:07:450:07:50

And with plenty of time to spare, you've answered all four statements,

0:07:500:07:54

-although you didn't look so comfortable that time.

-No.

0:07:540:07:57

I don't like any of those, really.

0:07:570:07:59

OK, well, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

0:07:590:08:02

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and next to them are Barbara's answers.

0:08:030:08:08

-Anthony, has she achieved Perfection?

-I don't think she has.

0:08:080:08:11

-You've got one wrong.

-Which one?

0:08:110:08:13

Mark Lawrenson was born in Preston but he played football for Ireland.

0:08:130:08:17

Barbara, you need to have answered all four perfectly to have won the round.

0:08:170:08:21

Let's find out how many you've got correct.

0:08:210:08:24

Oh!

0:08:270:08:29

-Oh, dear.

-Not so good. You failed to achieve Perfection by a long way.

0:08:290:08:33

-If you're going to fail...

-You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

0:08:330:08:37

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

0:08:370:08:40

You need to change three of Barbara's answers. Which?

0:08:400:08:43

-D needs changing to true.

-D from false to true, please, Nick.

0:08:430:08:47

D changes from false to true. Two more to change.

0:08:470:08:50

The metric system could've have been in France. It sounds French.

0:08:500:08:54

It does, yes. It's a Latin type, you know...

0:08:540:08:57

-Shall we change B and C, then?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:08:570:09:00

B and C change to truth, please, both of them.

0:09:000:09:03

B changes from false to true and C changes from false to true,

0:09:030:09:07

leaving A as answered by Barbara.

0:09:070:09:09

Usual Suspects, let's find out what the correct answers are.

0:09:090:09:12

The Metric System originated in France. True or false?

0:09:120:09:15

It is true.

0:09:170:09:19

Adopted there in the late 18th century.

0:09:200:09:22

Sylvester Stallone appeared in a Woody Allen film.

0:09:220:09:25

Is that true or false?

0:09:250:09:27

It is true.

0:09:280:09:30

In the film Bananas, he played Subway Thug Number 1.

0:09:300:09:35

LAUGHTER

0:09:350:09:37

Yeah. Brunei is located on the island of Borneo. True or false?

0:09:370:09:41

It is true.

0:09:420:09:44

And finally, Mark Lawrenson played football for Ireland.

0:09:440:09:48

You know where this is going now.

0:09:480:09:50

Yep, it's absolutely true.

0:09:500:09:52

Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

0:09:520:09:55

Mark Lawrenson won 39 caps for Ireland.

0:10:000:10:04

Barbara, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

0:10:040:10:08

and they've stolen the round.

0:10:080:10:09

Usual Suspects, you can now make it harder for Barbara to win the prize fund.

0:10:090:10:13

£6,000 - you can make it harder to win.

0:10:130:10:16

Look at the final board here.

0:10:160:10:19

First two subject categories chosen by Barbara

0:10:190:10:21

but because you won the round, you choose the next two categories.

0:10:210:10:26

So which two do you think are going to trip Barbara up in the final?

0:10:260:10:30

-Prog rock.

-Prog rock.

-We all think prog rock's a bit of a one,

0:10:300:10:33

-so we'll go for that.

-Prog rock goes across.

0:10:330:10:36

-Er...

-Phobias. All these odd Latin names.

0:10:360:10:39

-Shall we go for that?

-OK, go for that one.

0:10:390:10:42

-Phobias as well, please, Nick.

-Phobias goes across

0:10:420:10:44

and becomes the fourth of six.

0:10:440:10:46

Congratulations, you've won the second round, time to switch you off

0:10:460:10:50

and we'll see you in round three.

0:10:500:10:52

And away they go.

0:10:520:10:53

-I think you're about to find out what prog rock is.

-I thought that.

0:10:530:10:56

You have one more chance to find Perfection.

0:10:560:11:00

-Are you ready to play the next round?

-Yes.

-Good.

0:11:000:11:02

Let's play round three.

0:11:020:11:04

APPLAUSE

0:11:040:11:05

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:11:070:11:09

Crikey. The Full Monty.

0:11:130:11:16

-True.

-True.

0:11:160:11:18

Clean and jerk.

0:11:220:11:24

-False.

-False.

0:11:240:11:26

-True.

-True.

0:11:310:11:33

-Augustus. True.

-True.

0:11:380:11:40

And with time to spare, you've answered all four.

0:11:400:11:44

-More confident at the end of the round.

-Yes, definitely.

0:11:440:11:47

I like champagne, so I hope I've got it right.

0:11:470:11:51

I like Chardonnay, as well!

0:11:510:11:53

OK, before we real how well you've done, we'll bring back the Usual Suspects.

0:11:530:11:58

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements with Barbara's answers.

0:11:590:12:04

Mel, what do you make of her answers?

0:12:040:12:06

Pretty good, really, yeah. A could be true or false for all I know.

0:12:060:12:12

Barbara, the moment of truth.

0:12:120:12:13

You need to have answered perfectly to win the round.

0:12:130:12:16

Let's find out how many are right.

0:12:160:12:18

Three out of four's close but that's not good enough.

0:12:250:12:28

You need to achieve absolute Perfection and you failed to do that.

0:12:280:12:31

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

0:12:310:12:34

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

0:12:340:12:36

You need to change one of Barbara's answers. Which one?

0:12:360:12:39

-A.

-A.

-Are you definite?

0:12:390:12:41

I think he wishes he wrote it but I don't think he did.

0:12:410:12:43

Yeah, all right. I'll go with the boys for once.

0:12:430:12:47

A from true to false, please.

0:12:470:12:49

A from true to false, leaving B, C and D as answered by Barbara.

0:12:490:12:53

Let's find out what the correct answers area.

0:12:530:12:56

This is the key one, really, right at the top.

0:12:560:12:58

Richard Curtis wrote The Full Monty. Is this true or false?

0:12:580:13:02

-It's false.

-That's it.

0:13:030:13:04

APPLAUSE

0:13:040:13:06

Written by Simon Beaufoy.

0:13:060:13:08

So you know where this is going now, don't you?

0:13:080:13:11

Clean and jerk is a technique in boxing. True or false?

0:13:110:13:13

It's false. It's weight-lifting.

0:13:140:13:16

Champagne can be made from Chardonnay grapes. True or false?

0:13:160:13:19

True. It's usually made from Chardonnay grapes, though you can make it from a Pinot Noir grape.

0:13:200:13:26

The month of August is named after a Roman emperor. True or false?

0:13:260:13:30

It is, of course, true.

0:13:300:13:32

Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

0:13:320:13:35

As you said, named after Augustus Caesar.

0:13:390:13:42

-You said that, didn't you?

-Yes.

0:13:420:13:44

And the Usual Suspects have stolen the round.

0:13:440:13:48

You now have the opportunity

0:13:480:13:49

to make Barbara's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

0:13:490:13:53

Let's see the final board.

0:13:530:13:54

Four subjects on there.

0:13:560:13:57

You won the round, so you may choose the last two categories.

0:13:570:14:01

What's it going to be? What could trip her up in the final?

0:14:010:14:05

I think, after that last round, British film.

0:14:050:14:08

-Yeah.

-We could do that.

-British film, please, Nick.

0:14:080:14:10

British film goes across.

0:14:100:14:12

-And the final category?

-Phone lines is a bit weird, so we'll go for that, thank you.

0:14:120:14:16

Phone lines becomes the sixth one.

0:14:160:14:19

We now know our six final categories. They are:

0:14:190:14:22

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

0:14:270:14:31

And away they go.

0:14:310:14:32

What do you think of those last two?

0:14:320:14:34

Erm, I might be all right with British films, it just depends.

0:14:340:14:38

Phone lines, I've no idea what it's likely to be, so we'll see.

0:14:380:14:42

OK, Barbara, it is for £6,000

0:14:420:14:45

and it is time to play the final.

0:14:450:14:47

APPLAUSE

0:14:470:14:49

Barbara, this is the all-important final.

0:14:500:14:53

-You could be leaving with a prize fund of £6,000.

-Wow.

0:14:530:14:57

-That's good, isn't it?

-It is very good.

0:14:570:15:00

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing. Not so good.

0:15:000:15:03

That would be great news for the Usual Suspects

0:15:030:15:05

because one of them could be playing for a rollover of £7,000

0:15:050:15:08

on the next game.

0:15:080:15:10

-If you're ready...

-I'm ready.

0:15:100:15:12

Let's play the final round.

0:15:120:15:14

APPLAUSE

0:15:140:15:15

Here are your six final categories.

0:15:170:15:20

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

0:15:200:15:23

-Think carefully. No time limit.

-Thank you.

0:15:230:15:25

-Once you've given an answer, your first answer, it's locked in.

-Right.

0:15:250:15:29

If you're ready to go, we'll reveal your first statement.

0:15:290:15:32

Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

0:15:320:15:35

Oh!

0:15:390:15:41

I know what Peter Beale looks like.

0:15:420:15:44

Pete Beale, Pete Beale.

0:15:440:15:46

Is it Pete?

0:15:460:15:47

I think I'm going to say false.

0:15:480:15:50

False.

0:15:500:15:51

-True.

-True.

0:15:590:16:01

Is it progressive rock, I wonder, prog rock?

0:16:080:16:11

Er, Rick Wakeman.

0:16:110:16:13

If he's a member of the band Yes, I think I've got to say no.

0:16:130:16:17

-False.

-False.

0:16:170:16:19

I've heard of the fear of fur but whether it would be doraphobia...

0:16:250:16:29

What would "dora" come from?

0:16:300:16:32

I'll say it's true.

0:16:360:16:38

True.

0:16:380:16:40

I can't imagine in what context

0:16:460:16:49

unless he was on TV at the time in it.

0:16:490:16:51

I've seen the film Alfie...

0:16:510:16:53

but I don't remember Benny Hill, so I'll say false.

0:16:540:16:58

False.

0:16:580:16:59

I'll say false.

0:17:060:17:07

False. Thank you, Barbara. Those answers are now locked in.

0:17:070:17:11

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

0:17:110:17:13

Which ones are you unsure of?

0:17:130:17:15

I'm not sure who played...

0:17:150:17:17

Whether there was a Pete Beale, a brother of Ian,

0:17:170:17:20

earlier on when I wasn't watching

0:17:200:17:22

and so whether that's a possible, I don't know.

0:17:220:17:25

OK, well, let's bring back the Usual Suspects

0:17:250:17:28

and see what they've got to say.

0:17:280:17:30

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Barbara's answers.

0:17:300:17:34

Barbara, you can't change your answers by yourself

0:17:340:17:38

but you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects

0:17:380:17:42

but this would come at a cost.

0:17:420:17:43

Usual Suspects, I'm going to ask you to tell me how well you think Barbara has done,

0:17:430:17:48

if you want to help and if you do, how much it will cost.

0:17:480:17:50

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

0:17:500:17:55

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

-Mel, please.

0:17:550:17:59

-Mel?

-I can't help you. I'm just not sure on too many of them.

0:17:590:18:03

-I'm sorry but I wish you well.

-Thank you. Thanks.

0:18:030:18:06

-Anthony?

-Hi, Barbara.

0:18:060:18:08

I can categorically tell you, I'm 100% certain, you've got one wrong.

0:18:080:18:14

With there being potentially £7,000 to play for next time,

0:18:140:18:17

-I'm going to sit here and hope to play for that. Sorry.

-Right.

0:18:170:18:20

OK. What about Ian?

0:18:200:18:22

There's a couple I just haven't got a clue on, to be honest

0:18:220:18:26

and I wouldn't be of any help to you at all, I'm afraid.

0:18:260:18:29

But you've got £6,000 to play with. You can make an offer.

0:18:290:18:32

-Are you married, Barbara?

-Yes.

0:18:320:18:34

Did you get any advice when you came to the show from your other half?

0:18:340:18:37

No, he just said don't come back without the money.

0:18:370:18:40

-Is that...?

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

0:18:400:18:42

Like I say, you've got £6,000 to play with.

0:18:420:18:45

Anthony might have one that I'm a bit uncertain of,

0:18:450:18:50

so I couldn't persuade you with £3,000?

0:18:500:18:53

-No, I'm going to...

-How about 4,000?

0:18:530:18:56

Erm, bearing in mind that I know it's going to be £7,000 next time,

0:18:560:19:01

I'm going to sit tight.

0:19:010:19:03

I'm sorry, Barbara.

0:19:030:19:04

-Would you come down for anything at all?

-I'm saying no.

0:19:040:19:07

It would seem that negotiations are completed

0:19:070:19:10

-and no-one is willing to help.

-Right.

0:19:100:19:12

-So you are on your own.

-Yes.

0:19:120:19:14

£6,000 at stake, six answers away

0:19:140:19:17

-and no home if you don't come back with some cash.

-Yes.

0:19:170:19:21

I'll be on the street corner.

0:19:210:19:23

Let's find out whether you've achieved Perfection.

0:19:230:19:26

If the statement turns green, it's true.

0:19:280:19:30

If it turns red, it's false.

0:19:300:19:33

Right, let's start at the top. It seems a sensible place to start.

0:19:330:19:36

John Altman played Pete Beale in EastEnders. You said false.

0:19:360:19:40

We need this to turn red for you to get off to a good start.

0:19:410:19:44

Is it true or false?

0:19:440:19:46

It is false. APPLAUSE

0:19:470:19:49

-John Altman played Nick Cotton.

-Oh, right.

0:19:510:19:55

-Or Nasty Nick Cotton, as he was sometimes known.

-Nasty Nick.

0:19:550:19:58

-Pete Beale was the father of Ian Beale.

-Oh, right.

0:19:580:20:01

-He was a market stallholder.

-Yeah.

0:20:010:20:04

-Yeah.

-OK, moving on.

0:20:040:20:06

Home Thoughts, From Abroad is by Rudyard Kipling.

0:20:060:20:09

You said that was true. We need this to turn green.

0:20:090:20:13

Is it true or false?

0:20:130:20:14

-Oh!

-It's false, I'm afraid. GROANING

0:20:160:20:19

I was sure about that one, too!

0:20:190:20:21

-Robert Browning.

-Yeah.

-So there you go.

0:20:210:20:24

What a shame. Barbara, you didn't manage to achieve Perfection.

0:20:240:20:28

Can you still achieve Perfection at home? Let's continue on through.

0:20:280:20:33

Rick Wakeman was a member of the band Yes. Is that true or false?

0:20:330:20:37

-Oh, I didn't...

-It was actually true.

0:20:390:20:41

And prog rock is progressive rock. It's shortened to prog rock.

0:20:410:20:46

Doraphobia is the fear of fur. You said that was true. Is that true or false?

0:20:460:20:50

It is true, actually.

0:20:520:20:54

Benny Hill appeared in the film Alfie. Is that true or false?

0:20:540:20:57

It is false.

0:20:580:21:00

Cheryl Cole has been the voice of the Speaking Clock.

0:21:000:21:03

Is that true or false, finally?

0:21:030:21:06

-It's true, actually.

-Oh!

0:21:060:21:08

-She did it for Comic Relief.

-Oh, fair enough, yeah.

0:21:080:21:11

So what have you done? Three out of six. So, you know...

0:21:110:21:15

-Well, I had a shot at it.

-You did have a shot at it.

0:21:150:21:18

The shot missed but you did get 50:50, which is not bad.

0:21:180:21:23

You're not going home with a board full of crosses.

0:21:230:21:26

Usual Suspects, good news for you. The prize fund rolls over

0:21:260:21:29

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

0:21:290:21:32

Little smug smiles, there. All very happy with that.

0:21:320:21:37

-Barbara, you failed to achieve Perfection...

-Not to worry.

0:21:370:21:40

-..but I hope you enjoyed playing.

-I have had a terrific time.

0:21:400:21:44

-Ladies and gentlemen, Barbara. Thank you.

-Thank you, Nick.

-APPLAUSE

0:21:440:21:48

Thank you.

0:21:480:21:50

Thank you. It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

0:21:510:21:54

hoping to play Perfection today.

0:21:540:21:56

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

0:21:570:22:00

Hi. My name's Angie.

0:22:000:22:01

I'm a commercial manager for a football club

0:22:010:22:04

and I'm from Staines in Middlesex.

0:22:040:22:06

This is your first game. Good luck.

0:22:060:22:08

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

0:22:080:22:12

Ian, it's you. Congratulations, you've been chosen.

0:22:170:22:20

Come and play Perfection.

0:22:200:22:21

-Ian, welcome down here to play the game. Are you looking forward to it?

-I am.

0:22:230:22:27

-And from Bridgend. Lovely part of the world.

-Yes, it is.

0:22:270:22:31

People don't realise how nice South Wales is.

0:22:310:22:33

They still think of all the coal mines and the Welsh singing

0:22:330:22:36

but there's more to Wales than that.

0:22:360:22:38

But there are groups of men walking around,

0:22:380:22:41

threatening people with close harmonies, aren't there?

0:22:410:22:44

You can't stop them. If you put a few together, they break out in close harmony.

0:22:440:22:48

OK, Ian, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

0:22:480:22:52

They were team-mates, they're now enemies.

0:22:520:22:54

As no-one has won the past six games, the prize fund currently stands at

0:22:540:22:59

£7,000. APPLAUSE

0:22:590:23:02

So if you go home with £7,000, what will you use the money for?

0:23:060:23:10

Well, it's my daughter's 10th wedding anniversary this year

0:23:100:23:13

and she got married in Vegas, so we'd all like to go back there

0:23:130:23:17

as a first ten years reunion, as it were...

0:23:170:23:21

-Oh, that'd be nice.

-..the whole family.

0:23:210:23:23

-Big family do over in Vegas.

-Fabulous, yeah.

0:23:230:23:25

OK, three rounds to come and a final.

0:23:250:23:28

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now,

0:23:280:23:31

so you can't see or hear anything.

0:23:310:23:32

As soon as Ian makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

0:23:320:23:35

And away they go.

0:23:350:23:36

-Are you ready?

-I am, very much so.

0:23:360:23:38

Then let's play Perfection. APPLAUSE

0:23:380:23:42

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:23:440:23:46

-True.

-True.

0:23:510:23:52

-False.

-False.

0:23:560:23:58

-False.

-False.

0:24:030:24:05

Mm.

0:24:100:24:11

Damned spot.

0:24:120:24:14

I'll say f... true.

0:24:150:24:18

-True.

-Yeah.

-And plenty of time to spare.

0:24:180:24:22

-You seemed very confident.

-Yeah, I feel quite confident of those.

0:24:220:24:25

All right, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

0:24:250:24:29

Don't forget, they'll be able to hear what you say.

0:24:290:24:32

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements alongside Ian's answers.

0:24:320:24:37

-Angie, has he achieved Perfection?

-Er, no, I don't think he has, Nick.

0:24:370:24:41

I know Columbo did work for the LAPD.

0:24:410:24:45

OK, well, Ian, it's the moment of truth.

0:24:450:24:47

You need to have answered perfectly to win the round.

0:24:470:24:50

Let's find out how many you got correct.

0:24:500:24:52

Two out of four.

0:24:570:24:58

Just not good enough, I'm afraid.

0:24:580:25:00

You need Perfection and you have not achieved it,

0:25:000:25:03

letting the Usual Suspects into the game.

0:25:030:25:06

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

0:25:060:25:09

You need to change two of Ian's answers. Which two?

0:25:090:25:12

-Er, well...

-You think B, then?

-Definitely.

0:25:120:25:15

Columbo did work for the LAPD.

0:25:150:25:16

-Can we change B from false to true, please, Nick?

-You can. One more.

0:25:160:25:20

A costermonger, I think they are fruit and veg people.

0:25:200:25:24

That's my family. I'm sure we were costermongers years ago.

0:25:240:25:27

-Yeah, let's go with that.

-Let's go with that.

0:25:270:25:30

-C from false to true, please.

-C from false to true,

0:25:300:25:34

thus leaving A and D as answered by Ian.

0:25:340:25:36

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

0:25:360:25:39

The Chinese gooseberry is another name for kiwifruit.

0:25:390:25:42

True or false?

0:25:420:25:44

It is true.

0:25:450:25:46

The TV detective Columbo worked for the LAPD.

0:25:460:25:49

True or false?

0:25:490:25:50

It is true.

0:25:510:25:53

Traditionally, a costermonger sold fruit and veg. Is that true or false?

0:25:530:25:58

-There!

-Well done.

-It is true.

0:25:580:26:00

So you know where this is going.

0:26:000:26:02

"Out, damned spot!" is a line from Macbeth. True or false?

0:26:020:26:05

It is true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

0:26:050:26:09

It's a line by Lady Macbeth,

0:26:130:26:15

who is desperately trying to clean her hands.

0:26:150:26:18

So, Ian, this is your final board appearing.

0:26:180:26:22

The six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

0:26:220:26:25

Here are your final round categories.

0:26:250:26:28

The Usual Suspects stole the round so they choose the two categories,

0:26:310:26:34

hoping to make your final harder to win.

0:26:350:26:37

Usual Suspects, which two would you like Ian to play in the final?

0:26:370:26:40

-I'd say definitely pop stars.

-Pop stars goes across.

0:26:400:26:44

-Shall we be mean and do pop music as well?

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:26:450:26:47

-Pop music as well, please.

-Sorry, Ian.

-And pop music.

0:26:470:26:50

Thank you very much. Usual Suspects, you won the first round.

0:26:500:26:54

It's time to switch you off and we'll see you in round two.

0:26:540:26:57

And away they go. Ian, with the Usual Suspects gone,

0:26:570:27:00

-what do you think of their choices?

-It depends on the era.

0:27:000:27:03

The Welsh like their music. They like a sing-song.

0:27:030:27:06

That's right, yeah.

0:27:060:27:09

-Are you ready for the next round?

-As ready as I ever will be.

0:27:090:27:11

Let's play round two.

0:27:110:27:13

APPLAUSE

0:27:130:27:15

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:27:160:27:18

-False.

-False.

0:27:230:27:25

-True.

-True.

0:27:290:27:31

-False.

-False.

0:27:360:27:38

-True.

-True.

0:27:420:27:44

Again, half the time left, you just piled through it.

0:27:450:27:47

-So you must be pleased with that.

-I'm pretty pleased with those, yeah.

0:27:470:27:51

It's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

0:27:510:27:56

So, Usual Suspects, these are the statements alongside Ian's answers.

0:27:560:28:00

-Angie?

-I reckon you've got it.

0:28:020:28:04

I'm not sure about Jacques Cousteau. I don't know whether he invented that.

0:28:040:28:08

You could have it, all four of them.

0:28:080:28:10

The moment of truth. Let's see how many are correct.

0:28:100:28:13

-Wow!

-APPLAUSE

0:28:200:28:22

Congratulations. You've achieved Perfection.

0:28:260:28:28

Let's have a look at those answers.

0:28:280:28:30

The bazooka is a Greek musical instrument. You said false. It is.

0:28:300:28:34

It is a type of weapon. Bouzouki is the musical instrument.

0:28:340:28:39

The playing area is baseball is called the diamond. True or false?

0:28:390:28:43

Yes, it is. The shape made by the bases is a diamond shape.

0:28:430:28:47

The British Empire abolished slavery in the 1600s. You said that's false.

0:28:470:28:51

It is, of course, false.

0:28:510:28:52

-1833, as late as 1833...

-Yeah.

-..it was, which I think is extraordinary.

0:28:530:28:58

And Jacques Cousteau co-invented the aqualung. Absolutely true.

0:28:580:29:03

So, what a great round, Ian.

0:29:030:29:04

Let's have a look at your final board.

0:29:040:29:06

You can choose the next two categories. Which two do you fancy?

0:29:060:29:10

-I think American terms.

-American terms.

0:29:100:29:15

I'll take a shot at politicians.

0:29:160:29:18

Politicians goes across.

0:29:180:29:20

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off

0:29:200:29:23

and we'll see you in the next round.

0:29:230:29:25

And away they go.

0:29:250:29:26

-Whilst you're on a roll, shall we carry on?

-The sooner the better.

0:29:260:29:29

Let's play round three.

0:29:290:29:32

APPLAUSE

0:29:320:29:33

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:29:350:29:38

-False.

-False.

0:29:410:29:43

Er, what shall I say? False.

0:29:560:29:58

False.

0:29:580:30:00

-True.

-True. And finally...

0:30:030:30:05

-False.

-False.

0:30:100:30:13

OK, Ian. What do you think?

0:30:150:30:17

Well, the last one, I haven't got a clue, to be honest.

0:30:170:30:20

That was a guess.

0:30:200:30:21

Before we reveal how well you've done, we'll bring back the Usual Suspects.

0:30:210:30:25

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and Ian's answers.

0:30:250:30:30

Mel, this time, has he achieved perfection?

0:30:300:30:32

Possibly not, no. I'm not too sure about D,

0:30:320:30:35

if that's true instead of false.

0:30:350:30:38

Ian, the moment of truth.

0:30:380:30:39

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

0:30:390:30:43

Let's see how many are right.

0:30:430:30:45

That means you did not achieve Perfection,

0:30:490:30:53

which is what you needed to stop the Usual Suspects getting into the game.

0:30:530:30:57

That's what's happened now.

0:30:570:30:59

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

0:30:590:31:02

You need to change two of Ian's answers but which?

0:31:020:31:05

The one's that are right - Labour didn't exist when Pitt the Younger was a politician,

0:31:050:31:09

so that's definitely false.

0:31:090:31:11

New York State - I think New York State is separate from New York City,

0:31:110:31:17

so I think he's got that right.

0:31:170:31:18

-So it's the bottom two.

-The bottom two.

0:31:180:31:21

We'll change the bottom two, C and D, please, Nick.

0:31:210:31:23

-So C changes from true to false...

-Yeah.

0:31:230:31:26

-..and D changes from false to true...

-Yeah.

0:31:260:31:29

..leaving A and B as Ian answered.

0:31:290:31:32

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

0:31:320:31:34

William Pitt the Younger was a Labour politician. Is that true or false?

0:31:340:31:38

It is false. He was, in fact, a Tory.

0:31:390:31:42

New York City is the capital of New York state.

0:31:430:31:46

Is that true or false?

0:31:460:31:48

It is false.

0:31:480:31:51

Albany is. That catches a lot of people out.

0:31:510:31:55

Charles Dickens published over 40 novels. True or false?

0:31:550:31:58

False.

0:31:590:32:01

Less than 20, he published, interestingly.

0:32:010:32:04

You know where this is going now.

0:32:040:32:06

50 Cent's real name, or as he's known, Finny Cent, is Curtis Jackson.

0:32:060:32:11

True or false? Yep, it's true.

0:32:110:32:14

Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

0:32:140:32:17

APPLAUSE

0:32:170:32:19

-Oh, dear, Ian.

-Oh, dear, oh, dear.

0:32:210:32:24

-The Usual Suspects have stolen the round.

-Oh, dear.

0:32:240:32:27

Let's have a look at the final board.

0:32:270:32:29

Four subjects on there at the moment.

0:32:290:32:31

So what do you want him to play in the final?

0:32:310:32:33

Sport doesn't appear to be Ian's strong point, so we're going to go with British Olympians.

0:32:330:32:38

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-British Olympians.

0:32:380:32:40

British Olympians goes across. And?

0:32:400:32:42

Scientific names? That's tough, isn't it?

0:32:420:32:45

-Or arts.

-Arts is a bit highbrow.

-Arts is a bit varied.

0:32:450:32:48

-Not that he's not but...

-Arts, please.

0:32:480:32:52

Arts, please, Nick.

0:32:530:32:55

Arts goes across into the final two.

0:32:550:32:57

We now know our six final categories.

0:32:570:32:59

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

0:33:050:33:08

And away they go.

0:33:090:33:11

They say that's a bit highbrow for you, arts.

0:33:110:33:13

That's what happens when you're Welsh, they think...

0:33:130:33:17

you've been living in a cave all your life but it's not true.

0:33:170:33:20

All right, Ian. For £7,000 in the final... Are you ready?

0:33:210:33:26

-I certainly am.

-It's time to play the final.

0:33:260:33:28

APPLAUSE

0:33:280:33:30

Ian, if you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with £7,000.

0:33:320:33:38

If you fail, you leave with nothing

0:33:380:33:40

and one of the Usual Suspects could be playing for a rollover of £8,000

0:33:400:33:45

on the next game.

0:33:450:33:46

Let's play the final round.

0:33:460:33:48

Ian, here are your final six categories.

0:33:520:33:54

You must answer all six statements correctly to win.

0:33:540:33:57

Think carefully.

0:33:570:33:58

There's no time limit but once you give an answer, your first answer, it's locked in. Ready?

0:33:580:34:03

-I am.

-Please tell me whether you believe the first statement to be true or false.

0:34:030:34:07

-I'll say true.

-True.

0:34:180:34:20

Oh, dear. Erm...

0:34:270:34:30

I'll just have to say true. I don't know. True.

0:34:340:34:37

True.

0:34:370:34:38

-False.

-False.

0:34:460:34:48

-I'd have to say that was false.

-False.

0:34:550:34:57

Ooh. 1980.

0:35:060:35:07

I'll say that's true.

0:35:120:35:14

-True.

-Yeah.

-And finally arts.

0:35:140:35:17

Absolutely and definitely true.

0:35:210:35:24

True. Thank you very much.

0:35:240:35:26

How do you feel about those?

0:35:260:35:28

The first two, I just don't have a clue at all.

0:35:280:35:30

The first two are the worry.

0:35:300:35:32

But the rest of them I'm pretty...

0:35:320:35:34

The Daley Thompson one, I'm not sure if he won the decathlon in two Olympics or just one.

0:35:340:35:41

All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects

0:35:410:35:44

and see what they have to say.

0:35:440:35:45

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

0:35:460:35:49

and next to them are Ian's answers.

0:35:490:35:51

Ian, your answers are locked in

0:35:510:35:53

but if you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

0:35:530:35:58

This will, however, come at a cost.

0:35:580:36:00

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

0:36:000:36:04

Ian, who would you like to hear from first?

0:36:040:36:07

My old pal Anthony.

0:36:070:36:09

-Hello, Ian.

-Hello, there, Anthony.

0:36:100:36:12

I can see you've definitely got two wrong.

0:36:120:36:14

Definitely got two wrong. I might be open to a deal.

0:36:140:36:18

Ooh!

0:36:180:36:20

Do you want to hear from anyone else or do you want to see how big a deal?

0:36:200:36:24

I'll see Angie. What do you think, Angie?

0:36:240:36:27

I'm declaring myself out because there's one I'm not sure about.

0:36:270:36:31

OK. Can I have a word with Mel, then?

0:36:310:36:35

Hiya, Ian. Yeah, I know you've got two wrong

0:36:350:36:37

but the other four are a bit ropy for me, so I'm not going to come and help you. I'm sorry.

0:36:370:36:43

So you are left with Anthony.

0:36:430:36:44

The question is, here, how much do you want to give him?

0:36:440:36:48

So what figure are we talking about?

0:36:480:36:50

-Well, we're on £7,000 at the moment, yeah?

-Yes.

0:36:500:36:53

OK, you're a lovely bloke and everything but I'm going to be quite hard-faced about this.

0:36:530:36:58

You're going home with nothing without my help, OK?

0:36:580:37:02

So I want £5,000.

0:37:020:37:04

-AUDIENCE GASPS

-You go home with £2,000.

-Phew!

0:37:040:37:06

I think it's got to be a bit fairer than that.

0:37:060:37:09

I'm willing to split it with you. £3,500 each.

0:37:090:37:12

No.

0:37:120:37:13

£4,500.

0:37:140:37:16

-No, I think, you know...

-OK.

0:37:170:37:19

You're going home with £2,500 or nothing.

0:37:190:37:22

-LAUGHTER

-I'm going to be hard on this, Ian.

0:37:220:37:26

-I can see that, yes.

-Come on, Ian.

0:37:260:37:28

-There's only one thing I have to say, Anthony.

-Go on.

0:37:280:37:31

-I'll go for the 2,500 but you'd better be right.

-Good man.

0:37:310:37:34

Good man.

0:37:340:37:36

OK, well, negotiations appear to have come to a conclusion.

0:37:390:37:44

I'm sure necessarily sure it's a happy conclusion.

0:37:440:37:47

Nonetheless, Anthony, for £4,500 of the £7,000 on offer...

0:37:470:37:54

please come down and join us.

0:37:560:37:58

APPLAUSE

0:37:580:37:59

OK, Ian, you've asked Anthony for help.

0:38:010:38:04

If you achieve Perfection, it will cost you £4,500...

0:38:040:38:08

LAUGHTER ..of the prize fund of £7,000.

0:38:080:38:11

Anthony, this is now your only shot at winning Perfection.

0:38:110:38:16

Have you made the right decision? We're about to find out.

0:38:160:38:19

Here are the final round statements.

0:38:190:38:21

All six answers are now unlocked.

0:38:210:38:24

Anthony, which answers do you want Ian to change?

0:38:240:38:28

OK, answer A. Alesha Dixon was a former member of Mis-Teeq,

0:38:280:38:34

-not the Sugababes.

-Mm-hm.

0:38:340:38:36

And answer B, it's not Conkers, it's Bonkers.

0:38:360:38:41

What about Daley Thompson, then?

0:38:410:38:43

Yeah. He definitely won his first Olympic gold in 1980.

0:38:430:38:46

-Absolutely positive?

-In Moscow. Yeah.

0:38:460:38:48

-So it's look you've won £4,500, then.

-Well...

0:38:480:38:51

Don't be hasty!

0:38:520:38:54

It does still come down to you. You have to make the decision.

0:38:550:38:58

What do you want to change?

0:38:580:38:59

A from true to false.

0:38:590:39:02

-Yeah, A from true to false and B from...

-True to false.

-..true to false, as well.

0:39:020:39:06

A changes from true to false. B changes from true to false.

0:39:060:39:12

C, D, E and F all remain the same.

0:39:120:39:15

-All remain the same.

-All the remain the same, yeah.

0:39:150:39:18

OK, there they go.

0:39:180:39:20

Your answers are now locked in.

0:39:200:39:22

£7,000 at stake.

0:39:220:39:26

Let's find out if you achieved Perfection.

0:39:260:39:30

We usually start at the top but as Anthony's come down to help you

0:39:330:39:37

I think it would be a good idea

0:39:370:39:39

to leave A and B and come back to them

0:39:390:39:41

because they're going to be the deciders, aren't they?

0:39:410:39:44

Let's start with C. Americans call a car's bonnet its fender.

0:39:440:39:48

Is it true or false?

0:39:480:39:51

It is false. APPLAUSE

0:39:530:39:55

It's called the hood. A fender is what we call a bumper on a car.

0:39:570:40:01

So, Shirley Williams is a former Bluebell Girl dancer.

0:40:010:40:05

Is it true or false?

0:40:050:40:07

-Yes.

-It is false. APPLAUSE

0:40:100:40:11

-We're doing well.

-And then we move onto E, Daley Thompson.

0:40:140:40:20

There was a bit of discussion about this one, too.

0:40:200:40:22

Let's leave that one till a bit later as well.

0:40:220:40:25

We move on to F. Henry Moore was a famous English sculptor.

0:40:270:40:31

We need this to turn green to get you halfway towards the money. Is it true or false?

0:40:310:40:36

It's green.

0:40:380:40:39

So, let's go back up to the top.

0:40:390:40:42

This is where it really matters.

0:40:420:40:44

Because, Ian, you said, "You'd better be right,"...

0:40:440:40:47

LAUGHTER

0:40:470:40:49

..before Anthony came down to join you.

0:40:490:40:51

Alesha Dixon is a former member of the Sugababes.

0:40:510:40:54

True or false?

0:40:550:40:57

It is false. APPLAUSE

0:40:590:41:01

Anthony was absolutely spot on when he said she was a member of Mis-Teeq.

0:41:040:41:08

-Never in doubt.

-So we come to the second one.

0:41:080:41:10

If this turns red, you're only one away from the £7,000.

0:41:100:41:17

If it turns green, you're leaving here with nothing.

0:41:170:41:20

So... Conkers was a UK number one for Dizzee Rascal.

0:41:230:41:27

Is that true or false?

0:41:270:41:31

It's false. APPLAUSE

0:41:330:41:34

-The track was, actually, Bonkers.

-You were right.

0:41:380:41:43

Now the one that you only had a brief discussion about.

0:41:430:41:46

You said you weren't sure about it, Ian.

0:41:460:41:48

If it turns green, you've won between you £7,000 -

0:41:480:41:51

£2,500 to Ian...

0:41:510:41:53

AUDIENCE LAUGHS ..£4,500 to Anthony.

0:41:540:41:58

If this turns red, you're both going home with nothing.

0:41:590:42:03

So, Daley Thompson won his first Olympic gold in 1980.

0:42:030:42:09

Is that true or false?

0:42:110:42:14

-It's true!

-Hooray!

0:42:230:42:25

Well done. Well done.

0:42:270:42:29

Oh, my word.

0:42:300:42:32

Well done. You have achieved Perfection.

0:42:330:42:36

You've got all six answers right and you are going home with cash.

0:42:360:42:41

That's fantastic news.

0:42:410:42:42

Anthony, what will you use the money for?

0:42:420:42:45

First and foremost, we've got a five-year-old boy

0:42:450:42:48

and we want to take him to Disney.

0:42:480:42:49

And my wife's engagement ring, I'd like to replace that

0:42:490:42:53

because there's a couple of stones missing and it's almost impossible to get it fixed.

0:42:530:42:58

That's really nice.

0:42:580:42:59

OK, well, the prize fund has been won,

0:42:590:43:02

so we reset the total back to £1,000 in our next game.

0:43:020:43:05

That's what one of you has the chance to play for.

0:43:050:43:08

What are you two chatting about now?

0:43:080:43:10

We're just having a love-in, you know.

0:43:100:43:13

It wouldn't have been much of a love-in if you'd got one wrong.

0:43:140:43:18

You wouldn't have seen me for dust.

0:43:180:43:20

Ian and Anthony, You have achieved Perfection.

0:43:200:43:23

You've won £2,500 and £4,500. You go away with £7,000.

0:43:230:43:27

Congratulations. APPLAUSE

0:43:270:43:29

-Thank you, Nick.

-Thank you.

0:43:290:43:32

-Cheers, mate.

-Well, please join us next time

0:43:320:43:36

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £1,000.

0:43:360:43:39

But remember, on this show, as we've seen,

0:43:390:43:42

we do pay for Perfection.

0:43:420:43:43

Goodbye. APPLAUSE
