Episode 20 Perfection

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

Behind this screen are four contestants who hope their knowledge is flawless

because a 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.

Behind me are the contestants, we call them the Usual Suspects.

They are in our isolation room.

In a moment, one of them will be randomly selected to join me here to play Perfection.

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

For example, if I said M is the 13th letter in the alphabet,

would you say that's true or false?

Well, if you said true, I can tell you it is true.

Answering true or false might seem easy but if the contestant

gets a single answer wrong, their opponents, 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.

Hello, my name is Win and I'm a retired cook,

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

Hi, I'm Mark, I'm an office manager from Swansea

and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Claire, I'm from Manchester and I'm a journalism student,

this is my third game.

Hi, I'm Angus, I'm a law student from Aberdeen

and this is my seventh game.

Hello, welcome to you all, especially to you, Win.

-Thank you very much, Nick.

-Excited about playing?

Oh, very.

Good luck, as we now find out which one of you'll be randomly picked to play Perfection.

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

APPLAUSE

-Claire, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

-You happy, nervous, excited?

-Everything!

-Really?

-Yes.

It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

their job is to stop you winning the prize fund because your failure

will mean the prize money rolls over to the next game

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

-You don't want that to happen?

-No.

-OK. Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

The good news, nobody's won the past six games

so the prize fund stands at...

£7,000.

APPLAUSE

-That's good money by anybody's standards, a lot of money.

-Yes.

So what would you do with it?

I really want to buy a car.

Not got one at the moment?

-No, I've not passed my test either.

-OK, here's how the game works.

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

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects have the chance to steal the round,

making the final that much harder.

More of that to follow later. Usual Suspects, we're going to

switch you off for now so you can't see or hear anything.

Cheerio, and away they go.

Claire, you can now talk through your answers

-without giving away vital knowledge. Happy?

-Yes.

Each round consists of four true or false statements,

you'll be answering against the clock, only 45 seconds

but once you've given your first answer, it'll be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

Good, let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Common loon...

I'm going to say false.

I think that's true.

True.

I don't know. False.

Made good use of your time a little bit left, not much.

Claire, you've answered all four statements.

Good round, bad round?

OK.

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

and see what they have to say.

-Don't forget, they can hear you now.

-OK.

So Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Claire's answers.

Win, has she achieved Perfection?

I think she has, yes.

Yes.

Angus, what do you think?

I know C for a fact's wrong because Carla Bruni's married

to the French President, I can't remember his name right now.

OK.

Claire, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Just one out of four.

You need to achieve perfection,

and you certainly haven't done that, which means

you've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can steal the round.

You can see Claire's answers, you need to change three.

I'm almost certain she's got D right because as a bit of a geek,

I'd know that James Doohan was Scotty which I think's right

and if I get it wrong, it's going to be bad.

Bangkok's the capital of Thailand.

I don't know about the loon, the aquatic bird.

I think we'd like to change A, B and C so we'll change A to true,

and B and C to false please.

Lovely, thank you very much leaving D as answered by Claire.

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

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

It is true.

It's actually false, you're quite right, it is Bangkok.

-Bangkok.

-Well done.

It is false. To be honest, as soon as you said, Angus,

-you were nodding here as well, weren't you, Claire?

-Yes, I knew.

Yes, she is in fact married to the French President.

-Nicolas Sarkozy.

-Yeah, that's him.

-And finally...

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Who did you think James Doohan played, Angus?

-I think it was Scotty.

-You're absolutely right, well done.

Claire, they've succeeded where you failed, they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Claire's chances of winning the prize fund

much harder in the final and here's how.

Claire, this is your final board appearing.

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

Behind each category will be a true or false statement

and you'll need to answer correctly all six to win the prize fund,

so you need perfect playing.

Here are your final round categories ranging from Hit Singles

through Roman Names, Science Fiction and many others.

If you'd won that round, you'd be able to add

two of your choice to the board.

But because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

they choose two hoping to make the final

that much harder for you to win.

Usual Suspects, which two do you think are likely to trip Claire up in the final?

What are we thinking?

Let's put Names in.

Yes, Names sounds like a reasonable one.

So we'll have Names, please.

Names goes across.

Yes and why don't we chuck in...

Let's go...

Russia?

Russia, I agree with Russia. That might be all right.

Lovely, Russia goes across as well, thank you very much.

Well done, you've won the first round, it's time to switch to off and we'll see you in round two.

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

what do you think of the two choices they made for you, Names?

-Rotters!

-Really, you don't like them?

Names, not so bad.

Russia... Don't know if I know very much about Russia. But we'll see.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-Yes.

-OK, let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

False.

False.

False.

True.

You managed your time very well again,

you had a few seconds left and you've answered all four statements.

-You didn't look very comfortable in that round, did you?

-No.

No, they're horrible!

They're horrible.

We'll find out but before we do, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So these were the four statements

and next to them are Clare's answers.

Mark, how has she done this time?

I think she's got B wrong,

I don't know why but for some reason I'm just picturing a Greek Pegasus

with a unicorn, so I'm thinking that would've been true.

Thank you. Win, has she achieved perfection?

I think the first one is wrong, I think.

Let's check and see, shall we? 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.

Again?

Again. You're consistent, you need to achieve perfection

and you haven't, which means you've let the Usual Suspects into the game again.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Claire's answers, you need to change three of them. Which three?

I know you think it's a horn but I think Pegasus, I don't know.

Let's go through the other ones.

'76 Summer Olympics in Montreal.

You're right there.

Was that held in Montreal, do you think, Win?

I'm not really sure.

Let's go for that one, shall we just change that to true.

What are you changing?

We'll change A to true, change B to true.

Now I'm pretty certain that Kubrick didn't direct Spartacus so I don't know.

I don't think he directed Spartacus.

-I don't think he did.

-I think it was Kirk...

I need one more from you.

We'll change D to false.

D changes to false, leaving C as answered by Claire.

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

True.

-False, I'm afraid. But that's the only one you knew.

-Yes!

Is that true or false?

It's true.

It is in fact false.

It started in China.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection, you'd now be able to make

Clare's chances of winning much harder in the final. Let's look at the board.

Two subjects on there so far.

Both chosen by the Usual Suspects. Neither side won that round though.

So the two categories that were due to be chosen will now be carried over to the next round

meaning that four categories will be on offer in round three.

Usual Suspects, I'll switch you off,

we'll see you in round three. Cheerio. And away they go.

Claire, with four categories on offer in this next round,

-it'd be a really good one to win.

-Yes.

Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

False.

True.

True.

False.

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

-That felt better, didn't it?

-A little bit, yeah.

-Anything you're worried about?

-Possibly C and B.

OK, before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Claire's answers.

Win, has she achieved perfection?

I don't know about the first one.

Angus?

I'm fairly certain that A, Persia,

may have been

the former name of Iran, I think it's true.

Moment of truth, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly

-to have won the round, shall we find out?

-Yes.

Two out of four.

Again, not perfection.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Claire's answers, you need to change two.

So I'm thinking...

First one, I think.

First one we need to change, A, can we change to true.

You can.

I think King's Lynn is in Norfolk, that sounds...

-Yes, I do.

-We've got C and D to work from.

Let's get in there with the D.

Do you think Prosecco is an Italian dessert, Win?

Yes, I'll go with that.

-Put your faith in me, young lady!

-Yeah, I will!

Right, we'll change D from false to true.

Lovely, D changes from false to true leaving B and C as Claire answered.

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

-True.

-True as.

-True.

-True.

False!

You failed to achieve perfection.

Therefore you've failed to steal the round from Claire.

Have you achieved perfection at home?

We'll go through the rest of the answers and find out.

Prosecco if a type of Italian dessert, is that true or false?

Yes, it's false.

-It's a type of wine.

-Champagne.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you'd now be able to make Clare's chances of winning that much harder in the final.

Let's look at the board.

Only two subjects already chosen and those chosen by the Usual Suspects.

So we have four blank spaces still to be filled.

To fill those spaces, you'll take it in turn to choose categories.

Claire, as the single player, you choose first. Which category would you like?

OK, Hit Singles, please.

Hit Singles goes across.

Usual Suspects, pick a category.

-We'll throw in Roman Names please, Nick.

-Roman Names.

Your turn, Claire.

I'm going to go for Quotations, please.

Quotations.

And Usual Suspects?

You get to choose the last one, what's it going to be?

-Sure?

-Yes, Football, please.

Football goes across.

Lovely. Thank you very much. We now know our six final categories. They are -

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off for the final time.

And away they go. So what do you think?

Yeah, football. Didn't want that.

-Feeling positive about this?

-Yeah, yeah, why not?

£7,000 on offer. You need to feel positive. Positive mental attitude.

-Visualise - that's what you do, isn't it?

-Yes.

-Visualise, and it comes true.

-Yeah.

OK, well, try and visualise £7,000 because it's time to play the final.

Claire, this is your level one final.

if you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a prize of over £7,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects

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

-You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?

-No.

Let's play the final round.

Claire, here are your six final categories. They are -

you must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win £7,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit,

but once you've given an answer, your first answer is locked in.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Names.

-I think that's true.

-True?

-Yeah.

Russia.

False.

False.

Hit singles.

False.

False.

Roman names.

I don't know.

-False.

-False.

Quotations.

I think it's definitely a Shakespeare line, but Hamlet?

I'm going to say true.

True. And football?

True or false?

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

True. Claire, those answers are locked in.

Remember, if there's one mistake you leave with nothing.

Right, which ones are bothering you?

Which ones are you unsure of?

Er, unsure of? F, definitely.

-F?

-Yeah.

Well, let's bring back the Usual Suspects

to see what they have to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Claire's answers.

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

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I am now going to ask you to tell me

how well you think Claire has done,

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

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

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

-Win.

I'm pretty unsure about two of them.

All right. Thank you.

-Mark?

-I'm looking at one at the moment.

How sure are you on some of the other answers?

I'd say four.

-I think I could potentially be up for an offer.

-Interesting.

How much of that £7,000 do you want, Mark, to come down?

I've been looking at...four.

OK. Angus?

I'm not going to be able to beat that offer,

so you should go with Mark.

£4,000 to come down, Mark, that's the deal, apparently.

I'll come down for five.

-So that's it? That's your final offer?

-That is indeed.

Oh, yes! OK. Through gritted teeth, yes.

Mark, for £5,000, of the £7,000, please come down and join us.

OK, Claire, you have happily accepted Mark's offer of help.

If you achieve Perfection, it will cost you £5,000 of your potential prize fund of £7,000.

Mark, you have forfeited your chance of playing in the next game.

This is your only shot of winning Perfection.

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

Here are the final round statements.

All six are now unlocked.

Mark, which answers do you want Claire to change?

I was maybe bluffing on how certain I was on it,

but maybe F because of how many times the World Cup comes around.

-I think I'm sure.

-OK.

-So, are you going to change F?

-Yeah.

F is going to change from true to false.

Are we going to lock in at the rest of those answers?

-Yeah, let's lock it in.

-Yeah?

Locking in the rest of the answers.

So, A, B, C, D and E all remain as originally answered.

What an interesting game this turned out to be.

£7,000 at stake, only £2,000 of it going to Claire.

£5,000 of it going to Mark.

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

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

Let's start at the top.

Peggy is a traditional shortening for Margaret. Claire, you said true.

Is it true or false?

It is. True.

APPLAUSE

St Petersburg was founded by Catherine the Great.

You said false.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

It was in fact Peter the Great. So, two out of two, a good start.

Cheryl Cole had a UK Top Ten hit with Paratroops - true or false?

It is. False.

APPLAUSE

It was Parachute.

Cambria was the Latin name for Wales.

This is interesting, you said you didn't know.

-I wasn't sure about this one.

-So this was a bit of a guess.

I tell you what, we'll come back to that one.

Let's get on to the next one - Brevity is the soul of wit is a line from Hamlet.

You said true. We need this to turn green.

Brevity is the soul of wit is a line from Hamlet. Is that true or false?

True.

APPLAUSE

So, four answers that you already had on the board on your own. This is where it gets interesting.

Maradona played in five football World Cup tournaments.

Originally you said true, Claire.

Mark came down and after some discussion, encouraged you to change it to false.

So, Maradona played in five football World Cup tournaments.

Is that true or false?

It's false!

APPLAUSE

So we come back to D - Cambria was the Latin name for Wales.

If it turns red, you've won the £7,000.

£2,000 to you, Claire, £5,000 to Mark.

If it turns green, you're going home with nothing.

Cambria was the Latin name for Wales. Is that true or false?

Oh!

AUDIENCE GROANS

It's...true.

It's true, Claire, and Mark, I'm afraid,

you have not achieved Perfection.

Five out of six, that was a tough, tough game.

Extraordinary. What an absolutely extraordinary game.

Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game.

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

Look, they are very pleased with that.

Claire and Mark, you failed to achieve Perfection.

and you leave with nothing. But, wow, what in emotional game.

Have you enjoyed playing, even though it was super emotional?

-I think so.

-You think so?

Ladies and gentlemen, Mark and Claire.

APPLAUSE

Well, what a game! It's time to meet the next Usual Suspects,

hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hello, I'm Gary, an operations manager from Glasgow.

Hello, I'm James, I'm an HGV driver from Willenhall in the West Midlands.

Welcome to you both.

Gary, I hope you don't mind me saying so, but it doesn't sound like a Glaswegian accent.

No, I was originally from Peterhead but brought up in London.

-James, that is a very Midlands accent.

-Very, very, very!

You won't understand me later on when I get excited, but.

It gets thicker, does it?

-Yeah, and faster!

-OK, we'll watch out for that.

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

Angus!

It's you that's been chosen. Please come and play Perfection.

Angus, welcome to the show, finally.

You're actually getting the chance to take part.

It's amazing. I'm out of that little cocoon For a change. It's nice.

Was it good fun up there?

It's nice. You get to really get on with the people and work through the questions.

It's not all on your own, and that's what I like.

Good luck. I hope you're going to do well in this.

-Welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates for a long time.

Now they're your enemies. Here's the good news.

As nobody has won the past seven games,

the prize fund currently stands at £8,000.

APPLAUSE

Angus, you're student, aren't you?

Yes, I'm a student at Robert Gordon's University in Aberdeen.

£8,000 must come in handy for a student.

It would be nice. There's quite a lot of beer there!

Is that what it'll be spent on?

No, there's a few things to do with travel that I'd like to do.

-Travel is on the cards if you win?

-Definitely.

Smashing, well, look. Here's how it works.

Three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we're switching you off so you can't see or hear anything.

Cheerio, and away they go.

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

-OK.

Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one, your 45 seconds starts now.

OK, no clue, but we're going to go for true.

True.

-False, false.

-False.

All right, I'm going to go for true.

True, and finally.

-That's false.

-False.

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

And it sounded like you were fairly comfortable with that round.

Yeah, relatively.

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

They can hear you now.

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

-Gary, has he achieved Perfection?

-It looks like I think he has.

He's definitely got two right.

Lovely. James, do you agree?

I don't know because I haven't got a clue about any of them.

All right.

OK, Angus, You need to have answered all four statements perfectly.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four ain't bad, but it ain't good enough.

You need Perfection.

Which means you let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Angus's answers, you need to change one of them.

I think A and C are right.

The ones I'm not sure on are B, I wouldn't have a clue.

I don't know P Diddy from Jay-Zed or any of them.

Are you any good at maths?

I was looking at that.

One divided by one is zero.

Of course it is. He can't be wrong, can he?

It can't be minus, can it?

So I think, if we are to change it, we're going to change D.

-So, Win, are we changing D?

-Yes.

We're changing D from false to true, leaving A, B and C as answered by Angus.

Let's find out the correct answers.

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

The Dandy Dinmont is a breed of miniature horse.

It's false.

It's a breed of dog.

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round from Angus, but you failed to achieve Perfection.

You fell at the first hurdle.

You've got "Jay-Zed", as Gary liked to call him.

He likes to be known as "Jay-Zee", after the American use of the letter,

featured on Estelle's hit American Boy, true or false?

False.

Austria is a landlocked country.

Is that true or false?

It is true.

So, we can go to the last one.

One divided by one is a zero, is that true or false?

It's false.

Just so you know, guys, one divided by one is one.

It's almost like rule 101 of the mathematics game, but there you go.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection you would now have

the opportunity to make Angus's chances of winning the prize fund much harder and here's how.

Angus, this, appearing, is your final board.

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

Here are the final round categories.

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

will now be carried over to the next round, meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off. We'll see you in round two. And away they go.

Angus, now the Usual Suspects have gone,

what do you think of the categories on offer?

Anything on there that you want to avoid?

Star signs.

And badgers. Why badgers?

Star signs and badgers. And what do you fancy on there?

There's three that look good - album covers, rock singers and Treasure Island.

The village where I grew up was where Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Treasure Island.

-All right. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's play round two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

True.

True.

False.

False.

True.

True.

-That's false, it varies, I think.

-False.

And with loads of time to spare,

-you've answered all four statements, and you looked comfortable.

-Oh, no.

Prussian, the first one, yeah.

And D, I'm fairly confident on.

-The other two are iffy.

-Iffy.

-Iffy.

Before we find out how iffy, or how well 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 Angus's answers.

James, has he achieved perfection?

I don't think he has. I think CH is Czechoslovakia.

Win, do think he's done well?

I think he's got two right.

Angus, you need to have answered all four correctly to win the round. Let's find out.

Three out of four.

It is good, but it is not good enough, I'm afraid.

You have again let in your enemies, the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Angus's answers, you need to change one.

-What one did you think?

-The bottom one.

-The bottom one?

-You'd change that to true?

-Yeah.

You was right last time, I was wrong.

We'll go with what you want to go with. D.

-D, please.

-D changes from false to true.

A, B and C remain as answered by Angus.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

"Prussian" and "cobalt" are shades of blue.

It is true.

Ted Rogers was the UK's Poet Laureate in the 1980s.

Is that true or false?

It's false.

-Gary, James, you were giggling there, why is that?

-It's 3-2-1.

-It's the bloke out of Dusty Bin.

Exactly right, Ted Rogers WAS the host of 3-2-1, the game show in the 1980s.

So, the vehicle registration code for Switzerland is CH.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

Which means that in the US, each state has two senators, is that true or false?

It's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

Well done, Win. You took the team through there.

Angus, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed, they have stolen the round.

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

of winning the prize fund of £8,000 much harder. Let's see the final board.

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

-Which four would you like Angus to play in the final?

-Does he know anything about star signs?

-I'm not being sexist, but...

-No, he might not. No.

-Win, you want star signs across?

-Star signs, yes, please.

-Star signs goes into the final.

-Treasure Island, yes.

-Treasure Island? Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Treasure Island?

-Yes, please.

-Thank you. Treasure Island goes in.

-And as he's a student,

Armed forces, I'm thinking, because he's not into that sort of thing, is he?

-Armed forces, please.

-Thank you, Win. And the final one?

-Japan?

-Japan.

-Japan.

-Japan makes it into the final too.

Congratulations. You've won the second round.

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

Angus, with the Usual Suspects gone, let's run through those.

-It started pretty disastrously with the star signs.

-I'm about ready to kill them for that, but that's OK.

-But then they picked Treasure Island.

-Which is great. I know a lot about that.

-Armed forces.

-I play a lot of video games.

-That's got to relate, somehow, to real life.

-And Japan?

I watch a lot of samurai films, and that got to relate to real life in some ways.

OK, you still have one more chance to find perfection

and choose your own category for the final.

Are you ready to play the next round? Let's play round three.

Your 45 seconds start now.

True.

True.

False.

False.

False.

False.

False.

False. Plenty of time to spare.

You've answered all four statements. That felt like a good round, yes?

Relatively speaking. I don't know anything about William the Conqueror,

so that one will be iffy.

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 Angus's answers.

Win, has he achieved perfection?

I think he has with three of them.

-Which one do you think he's got wrong?

-The top one.

-Gary?

-No, I think he's got C wrong.

Well, the moment of truth.

Angus, 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, you're consistent.

But consistently just off the mark and, once again, because you haven't achieved the perfect round,

you've let your enemies into the game. Usual Suspects, can you steal the round again?

You can see Angus's answers. You need to change just one of them.

Win, I know you're the boss, you're in charge...

-Which two?

-..but I'm pretty sure the Normans... No, I'm pretty sure...

He's a Norman king, I'm sure he came over,

he took over here, and he was king of France at the same time.

-Shall we go for C?

-I think so. C.

-We are going for C.

Thank you, Win. C changes from false to true.

Leaving A, B and D as answered by Angus.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Jack Black voiced a character in Kung Fu Panda.

Is that true or false?

It's true.

Jamaica Inn is a novel by Daphne du Maurier.

True or false?

It's true.

-Ooh!

-It's true.

Usual Suspects, I'm afraid you had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to take it from Angus,

because you failed to achieve perfection. Are you on for perfection at home? Let's find out.

William the Conqueror was King of England and France.

True or false?

It's false.

He was William of Normandy and then came over and became King of England.

The centre of the target in Olympic archery is red.

True or false?

It is false.

It is gold. Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make Angus's chances of winning the prize fund

much harder in the final. Let's have a look at the board.

Four on there, all chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Nobody managed to win round three, meaning we have two blank spaces yet to be filled.

To fill those spaces, you'll take it in turns to choose a category. Angus, as the single player,

-you get to choose first. Which category would you like to add?

-I like to add album covers.

Album covers goes into the final.

-Usual Suspects, you get one last chance to trip him up. What's it going to be?

-Explorers.

-Explorers.

-Explorers?

-Yes, please.

-Explorers goes across.

We now know our six final categories.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you for the final time.

And away they go!

Considering that you've only chosen one out of the six, that is not a bad board.

They did you some favours, didn't they?

-There is nothing apart from star signs that I think is impossible.

-For £8,000...

it's time to play the final.

Angus, this is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection, you could be leaving here with a prize of £8,000. That's a lot of cash.

-I wouldn't complain.

-It sounds good.

-It's a nice round number.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's play the final round.

Angus, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £8,000.

Think carefully. There is no time limit but once you have given an answer it's locked in.

-Ready?

-Yeah.

Let's reveal your first statement. I need you to tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

I'm going to go... for false.

I'm 99% sure that's false.

If I get that wrong, I'm going to feel very stupid afterwards.

-False?

-False.

The Household Cavalry is part of the British Army?

The Household Cavalry wear red jackets.

I think they're Army. True.

Tokyo is located on the island of Honshu?

I'm going to say that's true.

True.

Andy Warhol designed the Beatles' Sgt Pepper album?

The Beatles weren't big with the New York art scene, that was Bowie and that lot.

I'm going to go for false.

False.

And finally, explorers.

That doesn't set off any sort of alarm bells, or anything.

It doesn't sound familiar in any way. I'm going to say false.

False.

Angus, those questions are locked in. If there is one mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-A - no clue.

-D is a bit of a punt.

-All right.

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

You can see the final six statements and Angus's answers.

Angus, your answers are locked in, you can't change them by yourself.

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

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

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

-I'll start with Gary.

I can see you've got two right.

But you've definitely got one wrong.

Does that mean that you'd want to join in?

-I'm going to put him out of his misery straight away and say no, I'm definitely out.

-OK. James.

There ain't enough on there that I know to come and help you,

so if I come help you, we'll both lose, so I'm out.

-That's the same with me. I only know about two.

-All right.

Thank you very much. I'm afraid that does conclude negotiations, Angus.

You are on your own. £8,000 at stake, six answers away, let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

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

We'll skip over that first one, because that's the one you said would give you the problem.

Let's move on to B. Jim Hawkins sails on a ship called the Italiana.

Your village is steeped in the whole story.

Which is going to be embarrassing if it's wrong, frankly. But we'll see.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is false.

APPLAUSE

-Do you remember the ship he sailed on?

-My mind's gone blank. I know it's not that.

-Hispaniola.

-That's it.

The Household Cavalry is part of the British Army.

You thought about this long and hard and decided it is true.

We need this to turn green for you to keep on the way towards the cash.

Is it true or false? It is true.

APPLAUSE

Over to Japan now. Tokyo is located on the island of Honshu.

Is that true or false?

It is true.

-APPLAUSE

-Halfway towards £8,000.

So, Andy Warhol designed the Beatles' Sgt Pepper album -

is that true or false?

It's false. You were right.

Peter Blake was the artist involved.

Where shall we go next?

-Do the last one.

-Last one.

Captain Cook famously landed at Botany Bay.

If it turns red,

you are one away from £8,000. It turns green,

you're walking away with nothing.

Is it true or false?

-It is true.

-Yeah.

Captain Cook famously landed at Botany Bay in Australia. It is just around Sydney.

-Yeah.

-So I'm afraid you haven't achieved perfection.

Maybe at home you have achieved perfection.

Someone born on April 1st is an Aries.

It is true. Four out of six

is not bad at all. You can hold your head high when you go back,

because you got the Jim Hawkins question right as well.

Usual Suspects, great news. The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £9,000.

You ought to be pleased with that.

Angus, you have been a fantastic contestant. You failed to achieve perfection,

and you go home with just our thanks for being such a great player during the last few games.

Angus, everybody. Thank you very much.

-APPLAUSE

-Well done, bad luck.

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 £9,000.

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