Episode 17 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection. Four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless.

This is Perfection.

Hello and welcome to the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.

We call the contestants the Usual Suspects. In a moment, one of them will be randomly selected

to join me here to play Perfection. They'll face true or false statements.

For example, if I said:

Would you say that was true or false?

If you said true, you'd be right.

True or false might seem easy,

but get a single answer wrong and the Usual Suspects are allowed in to capitalise on those mistakes.

You know how the game works. Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

Hello. I'm Tony, a retired school teacher from Bedford, and this is my first game.

I'm Angus, a student from Aberdeen, and this is my first game.

Hi. My name's Angie, I'm a commercial manager of a football club from Staines, and this is my second game.

Hiya. I'm Mel, a staff nurse from Nottingham. This is my seventh game.

-Welcome to you all, particularly Tony and Angus. A retired teacher?

-Yes, that's correct.

-And a student still going through education?

-I hope so, yeah!

I wonder which one of you gets more sleep now.

Welcome to you all. One of you will be randomly picked to play Perfection.

Angie, it's you that's been chosen. Please come and play Perfection.

-Welcome to the show. Looking forward to playing?

-I am.

-You work for a football club?

I supported them for years, then got the offer to work for them.

-East London? West London? I'm picking up the accent. West London?

-I am, yeah.

Right, Angie, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects. Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund.

Your failure will mean the prize money rolls over to the next game and you don't want that happening.

-No.

-Every game is worth £1,000. Unfortunately for you, the previous game was won,

so the prize fund is reset to...£1,000.

-In the current climate, £1,000 is good money.

-Well, I would have bought my team a striker

-if it had been yesterday's game.

-Really?

-Now I'd give it to the Baby Unit that saved my grandson's life.

-Ah, that's fantastic.

I had twin grandsons born very premature, they were life or death,

-and now they're six-year-old thugs.

-How are they doing?

-Lovely.

-Only Granny can say that!

Fantastic. OK, Angie, good luck, obviously. Here's how it works.

You play three rounds and a final. Every round where you achieve perfection makes the final easier,

or else the Usual Suspects step in and make the final harder for you. More of that to follow later.

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off so you can't see or hear anything. Away they go.

-You can now talk freely.

-OK.

Each round has four true or false statements. You have 45 seconds.

-Once you've given your answers, they'll be locked in. Happy?

-Yeah.

Then let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Underworld is a business in Coronation Street.

-That's true.

-True.

Nelson's Column was built in the 18th century.

-I don't know, but I would say...true.

-True.

The Thai sauce Nam Pla is sweet.

I've never eaten Thai food.

I'd say...true.

True. And Frederick Forsyth wrote The Odessa File.

-True.

-True. With loads of time to spare, you've answered all four. Happy?

Not really, but a 50/50 guess, isn't it?

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

-Tony, has Angie achieved perfection?

-I think she's pretty near it.

I'm sure of the first one. Underworld is definitely the knicker factory in Coronation Street.

Thank you for your specialist knowledge(!) Angus, how's she done?

I'm pretty good with takeaways, so C is possibly right.

-It's my specialist subject, I think.

-Excellent.

Angie, sounds like a vote of confidence. The moment of truth.

You need all four to win the round. How many did you get correct?

Ah!

Oh, it is not perfection. 2 out of 4 is not good enough.

You've allowed your enemies in. Can you steal the round?

You need to change two answers, but which two?

-Well, A is right.

-We know that.

-What about B?

-Nelson...?

That's the one I was doubtful about.

I'm not certain on C, but Frederick Forsyth did write The Odessa File...

By a process of elimination... B and C, right?

-Yeah.

-Can we change B and C, please?

-You can. B changes to false and C changes from true to false.

Leaving A and D as Angie answered. Let's find out the correct answers.

Green is true, red is false.

Underworld is a business in Coronation Street. True or false?

Yes, it's absolutely true.

Nelson's Column was built in the 18th century. True or false? ..It is false.

In the 1840s, so the 19th century, was when it was built.

The Thai sauce Nam Pla is sweet. True or false?

It's false! So it's salty. It's made from fish.

You know where this is going. Frederick Forsyth wrote The Odessa File. True or false?

It's true. Congratulations. You have achieved perfection.

High five. High five.

Fantastic. One of the least accurate high fives I've ever seen there.

You were lucky not to take someone's eye out.

Angie, they've stolen the round. You can now make Angie's chances of winning much harder.

And here's how. Angie, this is your final board.

These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories with true or false statements.

You need all six correct to win. So you need perfect play.

Here are your final round categories. Shakespeare, US geography, children's books,

World War II, spices and others.

If you had won that round, you could choose two categories,

but because they stole the round, they choose the two categories, hoping to make your final harder.

So, Usual Suspects, which two do you think Angie won't want?

Planets or Shakespeare?

I think Planets is quite good, but Shakespeare's better.

Shall we go Shakespeare and Planets? Yeah, please.

Shakespeare goes across and becomes the first category. Planets becomes the second.

Well done, Usual Suspects. You've won the first round. We'll see you in Round 2. Away they go.

-Angie, what do you think of their choices?

-Great for them, but lousy for me.

-Really?

-Oh, stop it! Shakespeare and Planets?! Please!

-All right.

Well, it's only the first round. You still have two more to choose your own categories.

Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-John Prescott was given the nickname Two Jags.

-Absolutely right. True.

True. The Duckworth-Lewis method is used in cricket.

-Never heard of it. So I'll say false.

-False.

Iberia was the Ancient Greek word for Britain.

I thought it was for Spain. Iberia Airways. I'll say...

-I'll say false.

-False. And, finally, West Side Story is by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

I think it is. I've seen it loads of times. I can sing every song, but don't know who wrote them. True.

-True. Thank you very much. That sounded a bit better.

-Yeah.

Iberia's...and the cricket, obviously.

Before we reveal how you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

There are Angie's answers. Angus, has she achieved perfection?

-I'm pretty certain she has, actually.

-Mel?

I'm not sure about B. The Duckworth-Lewis method. I don't know, I'm not sure.

OK, the moment of truth. You need all four to have won the round. Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two of the four, despite the vote of confidence.

You've failed to achieve perfection and you've let them in. Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You see Angie's answers. You need to change two.

-We know A...

-Is definitely correct. B, my other half's a Duckworth.

-I'm sure he mentioned that was in cricket. And what about Iberia?

-Is it a trick question?

-It normally refers to Spain, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

So change B. Something rings a bell for me on that.

-Change B from false to true, please.

-Thank you. I need one more.

-C or D?

I think D she's got right.

-Rodgers and Hammerstein just sounds right to me.

-OK. Go for C, then.

-You OK with that?

-I'm quite happy.

-Change C, please.

-Change C from false to true?

-Yeah.

Thank you. Leaving A and D as Angie first answered.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

John Prescott was given the nickname Two Jags. True or false? Yes, it was of course true.

The Duckworth-Lewis method is used in cricket. True or false?

It IS true. It's to do with rain-affected play on one day or limited over matches.

Iberia was the Ancient Greek word for Britain. Is that true or false?

It's false!

-Damn.

-Usual Suspects, you have failed to achieve perfection and failed to steal the round from Angie.

Em, it's the Latin word for Spain and Portugal.

Have you achieved perfection at home? Let's find out.

West Side Story is by Rodgers and Hammerstein. True or false?

False, in actual fact.

Music's by Leonard Bernstein, and the words by Stephen Sondheim.

OK, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection, you could now make Angie's chances much harder.

Let's have a look at the board. Two subjects were already chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Angie, because neither side won that round, the two categories carry over to the next round.

Four categories will be on offer. Usual Suspects, I'll switch you off. We'll see you in Round 3.

Obviously, Angie, with four categories in the next round, it's really important to do well.

-Ready?

-I am.

-Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Stephen Fry appears in the Harry Potter films.

-True.

-True. Culottes are fingerless gloves.

-That's false.

-False.

The River Ruhr flows into the River Rhine.

Have no idea, so I'll say...true.

True.

The stratocumulus is a part of the human brain.

-Could be anywhere in the body. I wouldn't know how to say it! Let's say false.

-False.

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

-Happy with that?

-No, no. I know the top two are all right.

I'm not a geography girl. And that could be anywhere. It could be in the fingernail!

Before we reveal how you've done, time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These are the four statements and Angie's answers. Mel, has she achieved perfection?

-I don't think she's far off. I know she's got B right. That's trousers.

-And Tony?

-I have my doubts about the last one. The other three certainly seem to be correct.

-Thank you.

You need to have all four correct to win the round. Let's see how many are right.

Not quite perfection. 3 out of 4's not good enough.

You've let your enemies into the game. Can they steal the round?

-You need to change one answer.

-I think A's a misnomer. A's trying to trip you up.

-I'm trying to think if I've seen him in it.

-I've seen most of them and he's never appeared in them.

-There's lots of good British actors, but...

-All right.

-We'll go for A. Change from true to false.

-Thank you. Leaving B, C and D

as first answered by Angie. Usual Suspects, let's see what the correct answers are.

Stephen Fry appears in the Harry Potter films. True or false? ..It's false.

He has narrated the audiobooks, which is where some people maybe get confused.

So you know where this is going.

Culottes are fingerless gloves. False. They are a short trouser.

The River Ruhr flows into the River Rhine. True or false? Yep, it does.

The stratocumulus is a part of the human brain. True or false?

It's false. Congratulations, you have achieved perfection.

And you said it could appear anywhere in the body. Not unless you were very high up, outside

and breathing in hard. It is a type of cloud.

Angie, they have succeeded and stolen the round. You can now make Angie's chances of winning

a lot harder. Let's have a look.

Two subject categories are already there, chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Because you won the round, you can choose the next four categories to add -

that's the two from the last round, and two from the round before.

So...which four would you like Angie to play in the final?

-Politician? Yes.

-Politicians.

-Politicians.

-US geography? Yeah, US geography.

-Yeah, US geography.

-Thank you. US geography.

-Spices?

-My cooking skills are very limited, so spices...

-Yeah, go for spices.

-OK, spices. Thank you. And finally...?

-Colours is just so random.

-Yeah. Go for colours?

Yeah, colours.

Thank you very much. Colours finishes the final board.

We know our six final categories.

Guys, time to switch you off for the final time. And away they go.

What do you think?

-They're making me work hard for this £1,000!

-You'll earn it!

-If I get that right, yeah!

-Anything you like?

-Nothing at all.

OK.

Angie, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final. Achieve perfection and you could leave with a prize of £1,000.

Fail and you leave with nothing, which would be great for the Usual Suspects who'd then play for £2,000.

Let's play the final round.

Angie, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £1,000.

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

Let's reveal your first statement.

Prospero is a character in Titus Andronicus.

I've never heard of it, so Prospero... Is that Greek?

-Or Italian? Sounds foreign, anyway, so we'll say...true.

-True.

The Earth is larger than Mars.

I don't think so. It takes a long time to get there.

It's a long way away.

-I'll say that the Earth is smaller, so false.

-False.

David Cameron is older than Nick Clegg.

I think David Cameron is the youngest Prime Minister now.

Nick Clegg, I believe he had a birthday recently. There's not a lot in it. I'll say true.

True.

Old Faithful is a geyser in Yellowstone National Park.

I've heard of Old Faithful.

I would say...

Yellowstone National Park. Isn't that where the Flintstones are?

Old Faithful.

-I'll say false.

-False.

-Yeah.

Saffron is obtained from a variety of crocus.

I know saffron is from a flower.

I'll say... I'll say true cos I think it's from a flower.

True.

And, finally, colours.

Puce is a shade of yellow.

I always thought puce was a shade of green, but then...they go a puce colour if they feel sick.

Usually people go yellow... I'm going to say true, cos it's yellowy-green, I believe.

True. OK.

Those answers are locked in. One mistake and you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-All of them.

-Really?

-Yes.

There's not one there I could say I'm happy about. It's a 50/50 guess.

Let's bring back the Usual Suspects and see what they say.

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

Angie, your answers are locked in. But you can unlock the board with their help.

This will, however, come at a cost. Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you to tell me how well

you think Angie has done, if you want to help and how much it will cost.

-Remember, you can't refer to any of the statements specifically. Angie, who's first?

-Tony.

Angie, I think you've got a couple wrong, but unfortunately I can't be tempted down.

-Anybody else?

-Em, no, not really.

They're what I've said. I wouldn't split £1,000 because I'm giving it to the Baby Unit,

-so I'll go with that.

-All right. So negotiations are closed. You've decided to go it alone.

-Alone.

So for £1,000, you are six answers away.

Let's find out if you achieved perfection.

Remember, if it turns green, it's true, if it turns red, it's false.

Let's start at the top. Prospero is a character in Titus Andronicus.

-You went for a guess.

-Yes.

-You had to. You've got to have a punt. You went for true.

We want this to turn green to get you up and running. True or false?

-There.

-It's false, I'm afraid. You've fallen at the first hurdle.

He's in The Tempest. It is a Shakespeare play.

I'm afraid you failed to achieve perfection, so you get no cash.

Have you achieved perfection at home? Shall we find out?

The Earth is larger than Mars. Is that true or false?

It's actually true, I'm afraid.

David Cameron is older than Nick Clegg. You thought it was true. Is it true or false?

It is true! A correct answer.

-Three months older, that's all.

-I knew it weren't much.

Old Faithful is a geyser in Yellowstone National Park.

I'm afraid it is true. OK.

"Saffron is obtained from a variety of crocus." You said "true".

Is it true or false?

It is true. Well done. That's another correct answer.

And finally, "puce is a shade of yellow".

You say people turn puce when they're not well, so it may be true.

You've gone for "true". Is it true or false?

-I'm afraid it's...

-Green.

-..false.

-Is it green?

-It's a reddy-purple. People go puce when they've been running really hard.

I'm afraid you haven't achieved perfection.

Usual Suspects, the prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for £2,000. Pleased with that?

-Yeah.

-Very much so.

-Better than a thousand.

-They're very happy.

Angie, I'm afraid you go home with nothing, but I hope you've enjoyed playing.

It's been good fun. I've met some nice people. Doesn't matter about the money.

-Angie, everybody!

-APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Jamie, I'm a police officer and I'm from Hampshire.

Welcome to the show. What do you make of the three sitting alongside you?

-We're a bit of a mismatch, I think.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck.

Which one of you will be randomly picked to play Perfection?

Jamie, you've been chosen. Please come and play Perfection.

Jamie, welcome to the game. A policeman?

-Yes.

-Always wanted to be a policeman? You have to have people skills, but you have to be quite...

-You've got to have like skills. I was a kids' holiday rep for ten years beforehand.

-Were you really?

-I went from one side to the other.

-What an interesting change in lifestyle!

I'm fascinated by people who suddenly veer off in another direction. Welcome to the show.

It's you versus the Usual Suspects. Your team-mates are now your enemies.

Here is the good news. Nobody won the last game, so the prize fund currently stands at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

-What would you do with £2,000?

-I always spend my money on my kids.

-Aw!

-That's where it all goes.

-And they've picked out a dolls' house.

-Good for you. Well, good luck.

There are three rounds and a final. Usual Suspects, we switch you off,

so you can't see or hear anything, but if Jamie makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game. Cheerio.

-And away they go. You can now talk through your answers without giving away vital knowledge. Ready?

-Yeah.

-Then let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Oh...

Ranieri...

I think he was Chelsea. We'll go...

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

With plenty of time to spare, you've answered all four statements.

You seemed very confident about B.

I believe when you've got no idea, just say the first thing that comes into your head. Sound confident!

Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These are the four statements and next to them are Jamie's answers.

Tony, has he achieved perfection?

He almost has. I think there's just one there that I would question.

-Which one?

-That's the one about Mickey Rooney and Ava Gardner.

All right. Jamie, you need to have answered all four statements correctly to have won the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Just two of the four. That's not perfection.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game. Can you steal the round? You see Jamie's answers.

You need to change two of them.

-Does anyone know which are right?

-Claudio Ranieri, I don't know about Man City.

I thought Ranieri was a Man United manager, rather than Man City, but I'm not sure.

But Mickey Rooney had marriages before and I think...

-What about changing A and B then?

-A and C...

-A and C you're saying.

-A and C.

-Mel?

A and C, please, Nick.

A changes from "true" to "false",

C changes from "false" to "true", B and D remain the same.

Let's see what the correct answers are.

If a statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.

"Claudio Ranieri is a former manager of Man City." True or false?

-It is false. He used to manage Chelsea.

-Oh.

"Werewolf Hall is a Booker Prize-winning novel." True or false?

It is false.

Wolf Hall is a Booker Prize-winning novel.

"Ava Gardner was once the wife of Mickey Rooney." True or false?

-True.

-Nice one.

Finally, "Ethelred the Unready was a king of England." True or false?

True. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

-You have achieved perfection.

-APPLAUSE

He was King for nearly 40 years.

Jamie, they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Jamie's chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

And here's how. Jamie, this is your final board.

These six blank spaces need to be filled in with subject categories. Here are the final round categories.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they choose the categories,

hoping to make the final harder for you to win. Which two would you like Jamie to play in the final?

-Dog Shows?

-How about '60s Film?

-I was thinking Dog Shows.

What do we want? Composers then?

-Yeah, Composers.

-What about...?

-Let's plump for that.

-Composers.

-Commentators maybe?

-Or Dog Shows?

-I think Astronomy, I do.

-I'd go with Astronomy.

-Yeah, Astronomy, Nick.

Astronomy becomes the second category. Well done, Usual Suspects.

It's time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 2. Away they go.

Jamie, what do you think of their choices? Composers?

-Astronomy, definitely, a thumbs-up there.

-You like that?

-Yeah. Composers...

I've got a fair knowledge of composing.

-Jamie, you have two more rounds to find perfection and choose your own categories for the final.

-Yeah.

If you're ready, we'll play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Oh, when does the sweep take place?

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-GERMAN ACCENT: That is true.

-True.

With time to spare, you've answered all four statements. A little bit of your old career came out at the end.

I won't do the walk.

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

These are the four statements and next to them are Jamie's answers.

-Angus, has he achieved perfection?

-I think he's pretty close.

I don't think the "flamingoes" one is right.

You must answer all four statements perfectly to win the round. Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four is not bad, but it's not perfection.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change just one of Jamie's answers.

Definitely "A" is wrong.

-I think...

-I'd put my house on it.

-You think "A" is wrong?

-"A" is false.

-If you'd put your house on it...

-"A" is false.

-It's run in April.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Can you change "A", please?

-These boys, I'm going to have to sort them out.

-Help me. I'm scared.

-So we're going to change "A"?

-Yeah.

"A" changes from "true" to "false", B, C and D remain the same.

Let's find out the correct answers.

"The Grand National is traditionally run in June." True or false?

-False.

-Well done.

-It's late March, early April.

-Thank you.

-You know where the rest of these are going.

"The Appalachian Mountains are in Italy." True or false?

False. North America, in fact.

"Flamingoes are pink because of the food they eat." True.

It is to do with the food they eat. So, finally...

"Herr Flick was a character in 'Allo Allo!" True.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

I enjoyed that.

The Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed and stole the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Jamie's chances of winning the prize fund of £2,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

Two subjects chosen already by you.

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

Which two do you think Jamie won't want to play in the final?

I think India, I do. And Commentators.

-Right, well, Matron thinks India...

-India, please.

-I'll go with her. I don't want any more disputes.

-India, please.

-India goes across.

-Go on, boys, I'll let you pick one.

-What would you like, Tony?

-I would've gone for '60s Film & TV, but like you say, he could be a film boffin.

-What about Commentators? Come on, hurry up.

-Commentators.

-Yes.

-Commentators, please.

-Thank you.

Commentators becomes the fourth. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You've won the second round. Time to switch you off. Please be intact when you come back.

Keep it nice and safe in there. We'll see you in Round 3. And away they go.

Jamie, they're falling out in there, aren't they?

I'm glad I'm down here and not in there.

-What do you think of what they've chosen? India?

-India is random.

Commentators, I listen to a fair bit of sport. It depends how far back they go with the commentators.

-You still have one more chance to find perfection. Ready to play the next round?

-Yeah.

-OK, let's go and play Round 3.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

You've answered all four statements. You didn't look as comfortable.

I'm trying to think more, which is necessary in the game.

Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These are the four statements and next to them are Jamie's answers.

-Mel, has he achieved perfection?

-I think he might have done. B is correct because it's black.

Yeah, I think he's done all right.

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

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Just two of the four.

Jamie, you failed to achieve perfection again. You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change two of Jamie's answers.

Elizabeth II wasn't the Stuart period.

-It's a different period.

-I'm thinking of Blackadder.

-So shall we change that to "false"?

-Yeah.

-I agree with that.

-We'll change "A", Nick.

-"A" changes from "true" to "false". One more?

-I'm pretty sure B and C...

-I'm sure B is right.

-If you're confident, let's go...

-My reaction was broiling is slow.

We'll do D. D as well, please.

-Broiling is slow cooking.

-I think it's the same sort of thing.

D changes from "true" to "false",

leaving B and C the same.

Let's find out the correct answers.

"Elizabeth II belongs to the royal house of Stuart." True or false?

It is false. The House of Windsor.

"Kohl, a substance used in make-up, is red." True or false?

It is false.

It's black.

"The Russian version of USSR is written as CCCP." True or false?

True. You know where this is going.

"Broiling is cooking by fast boiling in water." True or false?

False. Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Broiling is cooking by direct exposure to heat.

So, Jamie, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Jamie's chances of winning the prize fund as hard as you can make it.

Let's see the final board. Four categories already on there chosen by you.

And because you won the round, you choose the last two categories.

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

I want Dog Shows in there. I'm intrigued by that one.

-I'll go along with Dog Shows.

-Dog Shows, please.

Dog Shows goes across. We need just one more.

-I'm thinking Telephones or '60s Film & TV.

-You said that he may well know '60s Film.

-We'll put Telephones.

-Telephones. I'll say it, I'm the boss.

-OK.

-Matron!

-Oh, be nice!

Telephones goes in as the final category. Thank you very much.

We now know our six final categories.

OK, guys, time to switch you off for the final time. And away they go.

-Dog Shows and Telephones?

-You could be lucky about all the others, but I know nothing about Dog Shows.

-They have dogs in them and it's a show.

-That's the limit of your knowledge?

-Yeah. That question won't come up.

-OK, Jamie, for £2,000, it's time to play the final.

Jamie, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection,

you could be leaving with the prize fund of £2,000. If you fail, you leave with nothing.

-Let's play the final round.

-APPLAUSE

Jamie, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £2,000. There is no time limit.

-But once you've made your first answer, it's locked in. Ready?

-Yeah.

Let's reveal your first statement. Please tell me if you believe it to be true or false. Composers...

"Brahms and Liszt lived centuries apart."

"Brahms and Liszt lived centuries apart..." I don't think that's true.

So that's going to be...

-False.

-False. Thank you.

Astronomy.

"Halley's Comet is depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry."

Yeah, seen it and seen Halley's Comet on it,

-so I'm going to go "true".

-True.

India.

"Mumbai was formerly known as Calcutta."

Do you know, I haven't heard Calcutta used for a while and I've heard Mumbai used quite a lot recently,

-so I'm going to go "true".

-True.

Commentators.

"John Motson played football for Hull City."

I'm going to go "false" on that one. I don't think he did.

-I think Motty's just a good man with a mic.

-False.

-Dog Shows.

-Here we go.

-Oh!

-"The famous dog show Crufts began in the 1930s."

-True.

-True.

And finally, Telephones.

"The iconic red phone box was designed by Harry Beck."

It's been around a long time.

I'm going to go "true".

-True.

-Yeah.

The answers are locked in. If there is one mistake, you win nothing.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-There was the dog show.

I can't believe they went for the dog show one.

Let's bring back the Usual Suspects and see what they've got to say.

You can now see the final six statements and next to them are Jamie's answers.

Jamie, you can't change your answers by yourself.

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

-You can't refer to any of the statements specifically. Who would you like to hear from first?

-Tony.

I think you've got three wrong

and because I'm not absolutely certain of that, I'm not prepared to come down.

OK, I won't need to ask you any more then. Mel, I know you're desperate to get out of there.

You're dying to get on this stage.

-I am desperate to get out of here, but those questions are stinkers.

-I know.

-Awful.

-They're terrible.

-I'd be no use to you.

-Who chose them(?)

-I don't know. Who knows?

-So that's a "no"?

-Yeah, it's a "no". Sorry.

Angus, I know you love sitting next to Mel, but you can come down here.

I know you've got, I think, two wrong.

But there's a few there, I just don't have a clue. I can't risk it.

I'm really sorry. They're hard, aren't they? > Yeah. Sorry.

-That would seem, Jamie, to have ended negotiations.

-All on my tod.

No Usual Suspect is coming to help. You're on your own. £2,000 at stake.

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

Right, if the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.

"Brahms and Liszt lived centuries apart." You had a good, long think about this.

Then you said it was false. So to get you started, we need that to turn red.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

They met each other in the 1850s. They may have had a drink together

or bumped into a policeman who said, "You're Brahms and Liszt," and just meant who they were...

-LAUGHTER

-It's a nice thought, isn't it?

Next one. "Halley's Comet is depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry."

You've seen the Bayeux Tapestry, so you said "true". We want this to turn green. Is it true or false?

It is true. Two out of two.

APPLAUSE

Then we come to "Mumbai was formerly known as Calcutta".

You went for "true". We need this to turn green for you. Is it true or false?

Yeah, I'm afraid it's false.

Mumbai was formerly known as Bombay.

-Really?

-Same place. Yeah, the name that's currently used for Bombay,

so you failed to achieve perfection.

Have you achieved perfection at home? We'll go through these answers and let you know.

"John Motson played football for Hull City." You went for "false".

It is false. So now we come to the famous dog show.

"The famous dog show Crufts began in the 1930s."

You said you knew nothing about it. You went for "true".

It is false.

Makes me feel better, actually.

It dates back to 1886. That's how long we've been loving our dogs and showing them off in this country.

"The iconic red phone box was designed by Harry Beck."

You said "true".

It's false.

Harry Beck designed the tube map that is sort of iconic in its own right now.

-The phone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Does that ring any bells?

-No.

-Didn't with me either.

-It's something everybody will know now.

Three right, three wrong. A 50/50 round which, given that you had to take a few guesses, is about right.

Tough questions. The Usual Suspects really set up stinkers for you.

Usual Suspects, good news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £3,000.

Jamie, you failed to achieve perfection, so you leave with nothing. I hope you enjoyed playing.

-Yeah, it's been fun.

-Jamie, everybody!

-Thanks.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for.

Join us next time when our Usual Suspects can play again, this time for £3,000,

but on this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
