Episode 18 Perfection

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

Four contestants are hoping

their knowledge is flawless because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome

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

We call the contestants the Usual Suspects. They are in our isolation room.

One of them will be randomly selected to play Perfection.

They will face a series of true or false statements.

For example, is the following true or false:

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

Answering true or false might seem easy

but if the contestant gets an answer wrong,

the Usual Suspects will be allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

Hi, I'm Martin, I'm an airline cargo instructor from Horley, and this is my first game.

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

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

Hiya, I'm Mel, I'm a staff nurse from Nottingham and this is my ninth game.

Welcome to you all and best of luck as we find out

which one of you will be randomly picked to play Perfection.

Tony, it's you.

Please come and play Perfection.

Welcome to the show. Looking forward to playing the game?

-Yes, I am thanks.

-And you're a regular quizzer, are you?

-Not really, just an odd one here and there.

-You thought you'd have a go at this?

-Why not?

-OK, now look, Tony, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund. Your failure would mean the prize money

rolls over to the next game where one of them could be playing for a bigger total.

-You wouldn't want that to happen?

-No, no, prefer not.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Nobody's won the last two games so the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

So, what would you do

with £3,000 if you won it here today?

Well, my son's recently got his private pilot's licence

and he's building up his hours so he can be a commercial pilot.

-Right.

-And flying lessons unfortunately don't come cheap.

Well, I hope you do well here. It will certainly help out.

-It will go towards it.

-Absolutely.

You'll play three rounds and then a final.

Every round that you achieve perfection will make the final easier for you, however, if your

performance is anything less than perfect, the Usual Suspects will have the chance to steal the round,

making the final much harder for you.

Usual Suspects, we are going to switch you off so you can't see or hear anything.

Tony, you can now talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge, OK?

-Yeah, OK.

-Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be against the clock - you'll only have 45 seconds.

Once you've given your first answer, they'll be locked in.

-Ready?

-Yes.

-Good, then let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

True.

True.

False.

False.

With half your time still left, you've answered all four statements.

Happy with that round? You seemed very positive.

-A bit uncertain about a couple.

-Which ones?

-Especially the last one.

-The last one. OK.

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

-Don't forget they'll now be able to hear you.

-Yes, OK.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Tony's answers.

Martin, has he achieved perfection?

I think he's done pretty well.

I think possibly D is the only one

-he may have incorrect.

-Angus?

I'm not too sure about A.

It sounds like it's possibly right but for some reason

I know there's skiing in Colorado,

and the Grand Canyon's in Arizona, it's the desert.

I'm just trying to work out my geography right now.

-Mel, how's he done?

-All right.

I think I might have to disagree with Angus.

I've been to the Grand Canyon and I'm sure it's called the Colorado River.

Tony, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly

to have won the round. Let's find out how many are correct.

Tony, you're on fire - not literally, metaphorically.

You have achieved perfection.

Shall we have a look through those answers? If the statement

is true it will turn green, if it's false it will turn red.

So, top to bottom. The Colorado River runs through the Grand Canyon.

It does. Absolutely right.

A hexagon has six sides.

You're absolutely right about that too, you said true.

There are 15 players on a rugby league team. You said false.

-Do you know how many there are?

-I think it's seven.

It's actually 13.

Rugby union it's 15, rugby league it's 13.

And finally, Princess Tiaomii married the King of Norway in 1997,

you said false, and it is, of course, false.

Do you know who Princess Tiaomii is?

No, to be quite honest, that was a guess.

It's a good guess. Princess Tiaomii is the daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price

and not technically a princess, although she'd probably argue that.

Right. Tony, as a result of that perfect performance you've made

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

This is your final board.

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

Behind each category will be a true or false statement.

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

Here are your final round categories, starting with dogs,

moving through Greek myth, actors,

air travel, fantasy fiction, human body and several others in-between.

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

If the Usual Suspects had won the round, they'd be adding two categories

of their choice, trying to make your life harder. Which two would you like to play in the final?

-I'd like human body...

-Human body goes across.

-..and comedy.

-And comedy. Thank you very much.

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

Until then, we'll switch you off. Bye!

Away they go. Tony, now the Usual Suspects have gone,

what do you think of the categories? What do you really fancy there?

Countries and air travel.

Tony, you've made a good start to the game - perfect start to the game, in fact.

-If you're ready, we'll press on and play round two.

-Yes.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

True.

I'm trying to think...

True.

False.

False.

And with time to spare,

you've answered all four statements. How was that round?

Couple that I was uncertain about.

The Irish Prime Minister,

I didn't know he was known as the Dail if he was.

And the deltoid muscles,

I wasn't sure whether it was the shoulders or the arms.

Well, we'll find out very soon but before we do, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Tony's answers.

Mel, has he achieved perfection this time?

I don't think so because, I'll embarrass myself if I'm wrong here,

the deltoid muscles are the top of your arm,

not your actual shoulders.

So, I think that's false.

-Angus?

-I was going to say he's got C wrong because I think it WAS

Anthony Perkins but maybe I'm wrong.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four is not good enough.

You need to achieve perfection and in that you have failed.

You've let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Tony's answers. You need to change just one, but which one?

This is the deltoid there.

-Yeah, I'll go with you.

-Because I inject people there.

I'm not arguing, Mel.

-I'll trust you.

-We'll change B from true to false, please.

B from true to false.

Leaving A, C and D as answered by Tony.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

The ballpoint pen was invented by Laszlo Biro, true or false?

It is actually true.

The deltoid muscles are in the shoulders, true or false?

It is true.

It is the shoulders.

-So embarrassing.

-Unfortunately, Usual Suspects, you had a chance

to steal the round from Tony but you failed to achieve perfection.

How are you doing at home, are you still on for perfection? Let's find out, shall we?

Anthony Perkins played Norman Bates in Psycho, true or false?

Yeah, Angus you were right.

True. And the Irish Prime Minister is known as the Dail,

true or false?

False. He's known as the Taoiseach.

The Dail is actually the assembly of ministers. Just so that you know,

the deltoid muscle crosses the top of the shoulder and then attaches at the top of the arm.

So, you are right, you do actually inject into that area.

-Makes me feel a little bit better.

-Well, I'm trying to.

-I'll never go back to work now.

-If I was booked in to take an injection from you soon...!

I'm going private.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection, you would now have the opportunity to make Tony's chances

of winning the prize fund harder in the final.

Let's have a look at the board.

There are currently two subjects already on there chosen by Tony.

Because neither side won the round, the two categories that were due to be chosen

will now be carried over to the next round. Four categories will be on offer, everybody.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off, we'll see you in round three.

This is going to be important with four categories on offer.

-An important one.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I'm not sure whether it's four or three times.

Um...

I'll say false on that one.

True.

True.

I'm not sure that's Kingsley Amis or not.

I'll have to say false cos I'm not sure.

And plenty of time to spare, you've answered all four statements. What do you think?

I was a bit uncertain about how many times Unchained Melody

has been a UK hit. I thought it was three.

OK, before we find out how well you've done

let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Tony's answers.

What do you think, Angus?

I'm pretty sure D he's got right,

I'm pretty sure that's Martin Amis.

I'm not sure if he's got perfection but I think he might well have done.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two of the four.

Tony, you didn't manage perfection.

You've now let your enemies into the game again.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change two of the answers.

Which two do you want to change?

I'm pretty sure that Ike was Eisenhower.

Yes, I'm sure of that one.

But I think D, The Rachel Papers...

Kingsley Amis is Martin Amis's father.

I'm certain The Rachel Papers is possibly Martin Amis.

Unchained Melody I would definitely say that...

Robson and Jerome have done it.

Robson and Jerome, and a couple of others recently.

And Gareth Gates did it. It's quite sad that I know that.

-Change A and C, please.

-Definitely. I agree.

A changes from false to true.

C changes from true to false.

B and D remain as answered by Tony.

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

Unchained Melody has been a UK number one four times,

true or false?

True.

Jimmy Young, Righteous Brothers, Robson and Jerome

and who was it in the end, Angus?

-It's Gareth Gates.

-Yes.

You're going to get some stick when you get back to college!

-Yeah!

-Ike was the nickname of President Eisenhower, true or false?

True. He had a campaign slogan, "I like Ike."

He must have spent a long time over that one(!)

No English words contain all five vowels in order, true or false?

It is false, "facetious" being a good example of how it works.

Oh, I was thinking of all them...

-It is in a row if you think of it.

-..next to each other.

-Without anything else in it?!

-Nothing else.

-That's not a word!

-That's what I thought.

No, but it means in the right order... Never mind.

I read it wrong.

The Rachel Papers is a book by Kingsley Amis.

We now know that it's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

And the last bit of information that you need - it might cheer Angus up a little bit -

is that you are absolutely right,

it was Martin Amis who wrote The Rachel Papers.

So, Tony, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and they have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Tony's chances

of winning the prize fund a lot harder.

Let's see the final board.

Because you won the round, you've earned the right to choose

the four categories to add to the board,

that's two from this round and the two that were carried over

from the previous round, which makes four.

Which four would you like to choose?

-One that jumps out at me is fashion.

-Fashion, that's a good one.

-No disrespect to Tony.

-Thank you, fashion moves across.

No disrespect!

-What about Greek myth?

-No, I think he'll be quite good at that.

Speaking to him, getting to know him I think he's quite well read.

But I'm thinking something like New York.

-New York, New York, we'll go for.

-Yeah.

-We're good.

-New York goes across, becomes the fourth. Two more.

-What about dogs.

-Dogs, I'll go for dogs.

-Dogs, we'll go for dogs.

Dogs goes in, fifth.

-Air travel.

-Yeah.

-Air travel, go on then, I'll let him have his way.

We now know our six final categories.

They are:

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

-Cheerio, and away they go. What do you think then?

Oooh. Fashion, Dogs, not subjects I would have chosen.

£3,000. It's a lot of money.

£3,000.

It's time to play the final.

Tony this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection you could be leaving with a prize fund of £3,000.

If you fail you will be leaving with nothing.

Let's play the final round.

Tony, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £3,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit, but once you've

-actually given us an answer, it's locked in, the first answer. Yes, are you ready?

-Yes, OK.

Good, let's reveal your first statement. Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

The Human Body.

The mandible is a bone in the arm.

False.

The Vicar of Dibley was originally a radio comedy.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it was originally. True.

Madonna's conical bra sold for £500,000 at auction.

I don't think it was quite that much.

False.

The Empire State Building has over 100 floors.

True.

Dalmatians have no spots when they're born.

I'll go for true on that one.

Mother Teresa Airport is in New Delhi.

I think that's one is false.

Those answers are locked in - remember if there is one single mistake you leave with nothing.

Which ones are you worried about?

I'm not sure about the Mother Teresa Airport and the Dalmatians one.

OK, let's bring back the Usual Suspects

and see what they've got to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them, Tony's answers.

Tony, your answers are locked in. You can't change them by yourself

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

If you want to help, and if you do, how much it's going to cost.

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

Tony, who would you like to hear from first?

Angus, please.

I think you've done reasonably well, however there are two there

that I'm 80%, 90%, that you've got wrong,

and I'd be leaning pretty heavily on you getting them wrong.

Do you feel comfortable with your answers?

Well, I'm comfortable with three of them.

Oh, that's not good enough for me, I'll leave it then.

Very definitive from Angus, there. Who would like you to hear from?

Martin.

I'm sorry Tony, I'm going to stay here I'm afraid.

There's at least four questions that I'm very unsure of.

-So I'm going to keep this seat warm I'm afraid.

-Mel?

Hi, Tony, I'm not going to help you

because I'm too unsure on a couple of them.

So, definitely none of you want to come down and help out

no matter how much is offered.

-No, thank you.

-No, sorry.

-No, sorry.

OK, Tony. Well, none of our Usual Suspects are willing to help.

So, you're on your own, £3,000 at stake, six answers away.

Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

Remember, if the statement turns green it is true,

if it turns red it is false.

We normally start at the top and if you've got one

that you don't like, on the way,

we tend to hop over it.

We could change that, couldn't we?

We could start at the bottom and deal with the three you're unhappy with, straight away.

-Right, that's fine.

-Then it should be a breeze!

-Hopefully.

Mother Teresa Airport is in New Delhi.

You said false. We need this to turn red for you to get you underway.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

-Any idea where it is?

-I've come across it but I'm pretty sure it's

not New Delhi because I've been there several times and never seen it.

Oh, that would be a clue. It's actually Albania.

She was of Albanian descent.

Dalmatians have no spots when they're born.

-You weren't sure about this, were you?

-No.

In the end you went for true, had a think about it and went for true.

So, we need this to turn green.

Dalmatians have no spots when they're born.

Is that true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

Born white and then spots develop later on.

So far, so good. The Empire State Building has over 100 floors.

You said that one was true.

How confident are you about this one?

Not very because I think the tallest building has 110 floors

and I'm not sure that's the one.

Right, you answered true, you need this to turn green as well.

The Empire State Building has over 100 floors, true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

Halfway to the money, halfway to £3,000. Moving on.

Madonna's conical bra sold for £500,000 at auction. You said false.

You need this to turn red, is that true or false?

It's false.

APPLAUSE

It actually fetched just over £14,000.

Yes, I thought it was a ridiculous amount of money.

Feeling confident now? Are you going home with the cash?

Just the Vicar of Dibley I'm not sure about.

The mandible I know is in the mouth.

So, basically you get past this one,

you reckon you're home and dry for the cash.

I hope so, nothing's guaranteed in this game.

Do you want to hop over it then?

Shall we go to the mandible next? Because if you're absolutely sure of that...

The mandible is a bone in the arm.

You said false,

is it true or false?

It's false.

APPLAUSE

It's the bone that forms the lower jaw.

I know the glands are in the mouth,

based on that I thought mandible must be in that area.

Which is why we hopped over it because you were really, really confident about that one.

-So, really it's all about the Vicar of Dibley now, isn't it?

-Yeah.

Do you like the Vicar of Dibley?

I've watched the television show.

-Enjoyed it?

-Yes, very much so.

Right, so...

the Vicar of Dibley was originally a radio comedy.

You said that was true.

If this turns green you're going home with £3,000.

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

The Vicar of Dibley was originally a radio comedy.

Is that true or false, for £3,000?

Oh!

It's false.

Well, how close was that?

I'm afraid, Tony, you didn't manage to achieve perfection and therefore you go home with no money at all.

Usual Suspects that's good news for you, the prize fund rolls over

to the next game where one of you could be playing

for a total of £4,000.

-I bet you thought it had gone then, didn't you?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-Big time.

-You were sitting there thinking,

"We're back to £1,000."

Well, as it turns out you're not. £4,000 the next game round.

Tony, I'm afraid you failed to achieve perfection which means you go home with nothing

-but I hope you enjoyed playing the game?

-I did, thank you very much.

Lovely. Thank you very much, Tony, everybody.

APPLAUSE

Five out of six ain't bad but it's not good enough on this show.

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

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

I'm Lesley, I'm a graphic design consultant and I'm from West London.

-Welcome, Lesley.

-Thanks, Nick.

What do you make of the people sat alongside you?

Well, I'm looking forward to getting to grips with Angus.

LAUGHTER

-Martin, it looks like you're in the way there, old bean.

-Yeah, I think so, yeah.

When the music stops we change chairs.

OK, best of luck to you all as we now find out which one of you will

be randomly picked, and it could be you, Mel, to play Perfection.

Lesley, it's you, you've been chosen,

please come and play Perfection.

-Lesley, welcome to the game.

-Thanks, Nick.

You look slightly disappointed to be down here and not up there!

Yeah, I wanted to give Mel a bit of support in there, I think she's outnumbered.

It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

You may well have wanted to support Mel, but now, she's not your team mate she's your enemy.

Here's the good news - as nobody has won the past three games

the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

-So, what would you spend the money on?

-I did have these big dreams

of going round Italy in a camper van but the gear box has gone on my car.

So, I'd like to replace that and I need a new washing machine,

so nothing glamorous, domestic goods and putting things right, really.

Well, it helps, it all helps with the bills, especially at the moment.

-Yes.

-Three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we are going to switch you off for now so you can't see or hear anything

but as soon as Lesley 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 any vital knowledge.

-OK.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Wyatt Earp killed the outlaw Jesse James.

True.

March 1st is the official birthday of all racehorses.

I haven't got a clue. True.

Lake Garda is in Switzerland.

That's definitely false because I've been there.

And finally, in Hamlet, Yorick was a soldier.

Yeah, I think he was, I know he was definitely in Hamlet.

Yeah, true.

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

How was that?

First two are a bit dodgy.

All right, before we reveal exactly how well you've done

we'll bring back the Usual Suspects.

Don't forget they will be able to hear you.

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

Martin, has she achieved perfection?

I believe she has, actually, to be honest.

-Angus?

-I don't think so but again that's based on movies.

I think Jesse James was killed by Robert Ford,

there was a Brad Pitt film about it in the last two years, and it was quite good.

Lesley, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Aah!

Ooh! Lesley, unfortunately you didn't manage perfection,

a long way from it in actual fact.

You've now let your enemies the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You can see Lesley's answers.

You need to change three of them, which, in view of the fact

you all thought she'd done quite well,

might be something of a challenge. Which are you going to change?

A is Robert Ford, so that's false.

Yeah, we'll change A please, Nick.

A changes from true to false.

Which one do we think's correct? Would that not be easier?

-I think its C.

-I think C.

-Change the others.

-Change B and D.

Yeah, we'll change B and D from true to false, please.

B changes from true to false.

D changes from true to false

and C remains as answered by Lesley.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

If the statement turns green it is true, if it turns red it is false.

Wyatt Earp killed the outlaw Jesse James, true or false?

It is false. He was shot by, Angus, Robert Ford, spot on.

March 1st is the official birthday of all racehorses, true or false?

It is false, in actual fact.

It depends whether you are in the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere.

January 1st in the northern hemisphere, August 1st in the southern hemisphere.

OK, yeah.

I don't know whether that helps or not, either way that's how it works.

Lake Garda is in Switzerland, true or false?

False, it is in Italy. The largest of the Italian lakes actually.

In Hamlet, Yorick was a soldier, true or false?

Its false, congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Really, don't high five if you don't know how to go about it!

We're punching.

Punching each other.

Oh, it's just punching. Oh, in that case you go ahead, enjoy yourselves.

Hamlet, Yorick in actual fact was a jester, just so you know.

Lesley, they managed to succeed where you failed and they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Lesley's chances

of winning the prize fund much harder in the final and here's how.

Lesley, this is your final board appearing.

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

Here are your final round categories, ranging from Military

through Star Signs, Measurements,

Albums, to Islands, and many more in-between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you they choose

the two categories, hoping to make the final that much harder for you to win.

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

-What about the Military?

-I think Sporting Titles.

-The Military and Sporting Titles.

-The Military, sorry, please.

The Military goes across, and one more?

-Sporting Titles.

-And Sporting Titles, thank you very much.

Well, done, Usual Suspects, you won the first round. Its time to switch you off, we'll see you in round two.

And away they go. Lesley with the Usual Suspects gone

what do you think of their choices?

I think I want to go home!

Sporting Titles, that's... No, really?

It's all right if its football but it's not going to be, it's going to be something completely random.

Of the ones that are there on the left,

which ones would you really like?

Albums probably.

All right, it's only the first round, you still have two more rounds to find perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-Yep.

Let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

A chimichanga is a fish found only in the Amazon.

No, it's Mexican. That's false.

Hadrian was the first Roman Emperor.

Oh, was he the first?

I think that's false.

-False?

-Yeah.

Parry and riposte are terms in fencing.

Yeah, that's definitely true.

And finally, Sylvester Stallone is an Oscar-nominated actor.

Oh, was he ever nominated?

-False.

-False?

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

-It felt like a good round.

-I think B and D were 50-50 but I know A and C.

I'd like to see a chimichanga swimming in the Amazon. It'd be quite interesting.

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

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

Mel, perfection?

I don't know. They are quite hard, aren't they?

I don't know about D, if he has been nominated, I'm not sure.

He might not have been nominated for acting but I think he wrote

and directed Rocky, directed it for no money at all.

I'm fairly certain he got nominated for an Oscar, and won an Oscar, for that.

OK, Lesley the moment of truth. You need to have answered

all four statements perfectly to have won the round. Let's find out how many are correct.

-Stopped at three, a marked improvement on the first round.

-Yes.

Nonetheless, not quite good enough.

You failed to achieve perfection. You've now let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Can you steal the round? You can see Lesley's answers.

You need to change just one. Which?

I don't think Stallone's been nominated for acting but I know

he's been nominated, I think he's won, for directing and writing.

-I would change D.

-What do you think, Martin?

I'm on the fence to be honest.

I don't really know to be honest, I don't know much about fencing. Yeah, we'll change D then.

So, Mel's going with Angus and changing D from false to true.

Leaving A, B and C as answered by Lesley.

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

A chimichanga is a fish found only in the Amazon.

Is that true or false?

Yes, it is absolutely false.

It's a Mexican dish, quite right.

Hadrian was the first Roman Emperor, true or false.

False.

Augustus was the first, actually.

Parry and riposte are terms in fencing, true or false?

True, they absolutely are. Which means you know where there is going.

Sylvester Stallone is an Oscar-nominated actor,

true or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

He was nominated for Rocky in 1976 but he didn't win.

Lesley, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

-Oh, dear.

-They have stolen the round.

They now have the opportunity to make Lesley's chances

of winning the prize fund of £4,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

There are currently two subject categories chosen by you, the Usual Suspects,

and because you won the round you earn the right to choose the next two to add to the board.

Which two do you think she'll find difficult to play?

I was going to say Famous Streets, and Islands could be anything.

And I reckon, out of what we've got, that's what I would go for.

-Famous Streets, Nick, please.

-Famous Streets goes across.

And Islands, yeah.

-Yeah.

-Islands comes fourth.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You won the second round.

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

-And away they go. So, what do you think?

-Yeah, I'm all right with those.

Famous Streets could be anything but I get around a bit. It might be somewhere I've been, you never know.

And Islands all right? Done a bit of travelling.

Well, not a great deal of travelling

-but it doesn't scare me.

-You still have one more chance to find perfection and choose

your own categories for the final. If you're ready, shall we press on?

-Yeah.

-Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

The Hawaiian alphabet contains 50 letters.

-False.

-False.

Inigo Jones was the court artist to Henry VIII.

False.

The peacock is a member of the pheasant family.

-True.

-And finally, oloroso and fino are types of sherry.

-That's true.

-Plenty of time left.

You don't need it because you've answered all four statements.

-You seemed to like that round?

-No, I think again 50-50. The only one I was sure of was D.

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

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

Angus, how's she done?

I think she's done quite well because those are tough questions, in my opinion.

Maybe not sure on C but I've got no reason for thinking that but it's just sticking in my head.

Martin?

The only one I would possibly change is B but that would only be a 50-50 guess, I think.

All right. Lesley, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly. Let's see how many are correct.

Yes!

Congratulations, Lesley, you have achieved perfection. You look very chuffed with yourself.

Much better than the first round. I feel happy.

-You did progressively better.

-Yeah, I did.

-One in the first round,

three in the second round, full house.

-Good time to get four.

-Really good.

OK, let's go through those answers. The Hawaiian alphabet contains 50 letters.

No, it doesn't. We now know it doesn't.

It actually contains just 12 letters.

Inigo Jones was the court artist to Henry VIII.

No, he wasn't. 17th-century architect.

The peacock is a member of the pheasant family, true or false.

We know of course, because you're right, it's true.

And oloroso and fino are types of sherry, and that's absolutely true, as well.

Lesley as a result of that perfect performance you've made winning the prize fund that much easier.

Let's have a look at your final board, here it comes.

Four categories on there chosen by the Usual Suspects but now, because

you won the round, you've earned the right to choose the last two categories to add.

Which two would you like?

I would say Artworks but then, if I mess that one up, I'll never live that down.

I think I'll have Albums.

Albums.

Bestsellers could be anything.

-No, let's go Artworks.

-Artworks.

-I'll fall on my sword.

OK, we now know our six final categories they are...

It's time to switch off the Usual Suspects for the last time.

What do you think, in with a chance?

I think so, now I've picked those last two.

It's going to be a bit better.

Lesley for £4,000, it's time to play the final.

Lesley this is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection you could leave with £4,000.

Fail and you leave with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects because one of them

could be playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Lesley, here are your final six categories. You must answer all six

statements correctly if you want to win the £4,000.

Think carefully, no time limit but, once you've given an answer, it will be locked in.

-Ready?

-Yeah, let's do it.

Let's reveal the first statement. Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

The Military.

In the Army, a Major ranks above a Colonel.

No, I don't think he does.

No, I think that's false.

False. Sporting Titles,

Nick Faldo was the first golfer to be knighted.

Oh, I know nothing about golf.

Let's go true, 50-50.

True. Famous Streets -

the Shambles is a famous street in York.

Never been to York. True.

True. Islands.

Skye is the largest of the Orkneys.

Oh, dear. False.

False. Albums.

Exile On Main Street is by the Rolling Stones.

I think that's true.

True. And finally Artworks.

The Mona Lisa holds a flower in her hands.

Now, I've seen the Mona Lisa and it's very small.

And you can't really see her hands and I can't remember whether

she's got a flower in it,

and if she does it's only small.

Yeah, I think it's true.

-You're saying true?

-Yeah.

Lesley, those answers are now locked in.

Remember if there is one single mistake, you leave with nothing.

Which ones are you unsure of?

-All of them.

-Really, all of them?

-Pretty much all of them, yeah.

I think it's pretty much pot luck.

All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects to see what they've got to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and next to them are Lesley's answers.

Lesley, your answers are locked in and you can't change them

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

You can't refer to any of the statements specifically. Lesley, who would you like to hear from?

How do you think I've got on, Martin?

I think you've done well, Lesley, but I'm afraid I won't be

coming down to help because I'm not sure on a couple myself.

LESLEY: Angus?

-There's a few hard ones in there so I feel sorry for you.

-Thanks.

I'm fairly certain you've got one wrong but there's a few there

that I don't have a clue about so I am going to have to leave it.

-Mel?

-Sorry, guess what I'm going to say?

-Sorry, I can't help you.

-It's all right, stay comfy.

They are tough. Sorry, Lesley.

-That's all right, don't worry. It's fine.

-It would seem the negotiations are concluded.

They don't want to come for any amount of money. £4,000 at stake, six answers away.

Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

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

Let's kick off at the top, shall we?

In the Army, a Major ranks above a Colonel.

You said false. We need this to turn red to get you off to a good start.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

Very good. Colonel obviously ranks above a Major.

Nick Faldo was the first golfer to be knighted.

You said true. We'd like this to turn green.

Is that true or false?

I'm afraid it's false.

You failed to achieve perfection and so you won't be taking any cash home.

-It's a bit of a disaster early on.

-That's all right.

In fact, he was the second golfer to be knighted.

Henry Cotton was the first.

No.

I wonder whether you've achieved perfection at home.

We will go on through the answers so you can see for yourself.

-The Shambles is a famous street in York. Never been there?

-No.

Is it true or false?

-It is true.

-Good guess.

There you go. One above it was a guess.

-You got unlucky and that's it, 50-50.

-Yeah.

OK, moving on. Skye is the largest of the Orkneys.

You said that was false, why?

A guess, I thought maybe Alderney was.

I don't know anything about Scotland. Sorry, Angus. So it was just 50-50 again.

-Do you know this one, Angus?

-I risk sounding like a complete idiot to everyone

but I'm not from the west coast at all but I'm fairly certain that Skye's the biggest of the Orkneys.

Skye is the largest of the Orkneys, true or false.

False. I'm afraid Angus. In fact, Skye's not even in the Orkneys.

It's in the Inner Hebrides.

-Oh, yeah.

-OK, let's move on.

Exile On Main Street is by the Rolling Stones.

This was the one that you went, "Yeah, I think that's right."

Yeah, I think it's right but looking at it again

maybe it's not, I don't know.

Well, you said true. Is it true or false?

It's true, you were right, well done.

Four right, just the one wrong.

-And of course this last one is your own subject, isn't it?

-Yeah.

This is the one where you said,

"I can't choose that in case I get it wrong."

The Mona Lisa holds a flower in her hands. You've seen this painting?

-I've seen it, yeah.

-You've seen it.

-Yeah.

-And you decided it was true.

Is it true or false?

-It's false.

-I wasn't quite sure.

-In fact, she's not holding anything.

Her hands are like that but I didn't know if she had a flower in between.

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

to the next game, where one of you

could be playing for a total of £5,000. That's worth it, isn't it?

-Yes.

-Worth hanging around for, Mel.

-Yeah, if I ever get on.

-This is your tenth game so far.

-I think she's getting institutionalised a little bit.

The record, by the way, is 11.

-I'm going for that record.

-You're going to equal it, definitely.

Yeah, I'm going to beat it, probably.

OK, Lesley, you failed to achieve perfection which means

you're going home with no money but with our thanks. Did you enjoy the game?

-Yeah, it's been really good, I've had a great time.

-Lovely. Lesley, everybody.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for. Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance

to play again, this time for £5,000. But remember, on this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
