Episode 24 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

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

because one mistake could give the game away. This is Perfection.

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

Behind me are the contestants, the Usual Suspects.

They're in our isolation room. In a moment,

one of them will be randomly selected to join me to play Perfection.

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

For example, if I said...

Would you say that's 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 a single 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.

Hello, my name's David, I'm a local government officer from Cardiff and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Mo, I'm an administrator from Sheffield and this is my first game.

I'm Matt, I'm a local government officer from Bournemouth. This is my second game.

Hi, I'm Chabris, I'm currently in between jobs,

I'm from South London and this is my sixth game.

-David, you a big quizzer?

-I do a little bit, the pub quiz on a Sunday,

but I think that's just an excuse to go to the pub.

-Mo, are you a keen quizzer?

-I am, but only watching television, not at quiz pubs.

-Well, you're on telly now.

-Brilliant.

-OK.

Welcome to you all and best of luck as we find out who will be randomly picked to play Perfection.

David, it's you! Congratulations! You've been chosen. Please come and play Perfection.

David, welcome to the game. Pleased to be straight into the fray?

-Yeah, I was getting a bit tense in there already, so I'm pleased to be out here.

-Any hobbies?

-I've got an allotment.

-How's that going?

-Not well. Good on the weeds. I'll get a greenhouse next year.

It's now 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. Your failure will mean the prize money rolls over,

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news. No-one's won the last five games, so the current prize fund stands at £6,000.

-You'll get a lot of seeds for that. And a greenhouse.

-Yeah.

OK, you'll play three rounds and then a final.

Every perfect round will make the final easier. If your performance is not perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have a chance to steal the round, making the final harder.

More of that to follow. Usual Suspects, we're switching you off so you can't see or hear anything.

And away they go.

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

-Yep.

Each round has four true or false statements. You're against the clock, you have 45 seconds.

-Once you've given your first answer, it will be locked in. Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Not a film buff. I'm going to say true, I think he was in Easy Rider.

-True.

-Never heard of him. I'm going to guess false.

-False.

Salem Witch Trials...

-I'm going to say...true. I think Salem is something to do with the devil. True.

-True.

-Erm, I'm avoid any Tommy Cooper jokes and say that is true.

-True.

And you used the time wisely. You had a few second left. You've answered all four statements. Happy?

-I think happy would be stretching it.

-Really?

-Mediocre?

-Yeah, I think I would stay with those answers.

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 David's answers.

-Mo, has he achieved perfection?

-No, I don't think so.

-He's got at least one wrong.

-Which one?

-D.

-Chabris?

I think he's got C wrong. I'm basing that on an episode of The Simpsons

where it took place in Salem, which was in New England, America.

Thank you. You need to answer all four statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Just one of the four. Unfortunately, you've failed to achieve perfection,

which means you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change three of David's answers.

-Definitely D?

-A fez is a hat.

-OK.

-That Tommy Cooper used to wear.

-Can we change D from true to false?

D changes from true to false. Two more.

I think A, as well. I think it's Dennis Hopper.

-Can we have A from true to false, please?

-A from true to false.

-I agree with C.

-C, yeah?

-I'm happy with that.

-And can we change C from true to false?

-C changes from true to false,

leaving B as David first answered.

Usual Suspects, let's find out the correct answers. If it turns green, it's true, red, it's false.

A is false. He was in Easy Rider.

But his debut was in The Cry Baby Killer. Not quite as famous as Easy Rider.

B is true. Usual Suspects, you have failed to achieve perfection.

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

-C is false.

-Yay!

-And it was in New England.

-HE LAUGHS

-Doesn't matter how you get to the right answer.

D is true. Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make David's chances of winning in the final much harder.

And here's how. David, 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 need to answer all six correctly to win the prize fund.

Here are the categories on offer.

Because neither side won the round,

the two categories due to be chosen are carried over to the next round, so four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off. We'll see you in round two.

David, now they've gone and can't hear you,

-what would you like in the final?

-TV comedy, probably.

-Mm-hm.

-And probably 80s music.

-80s music, OK.

In order to win the prize fund, you need to answer all six questions correctly,

so winning the next round, with four categories on offer, would be handy.

-Yeah.

-OK, you ready?

-Yeah, ready.

-Let's play round two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

I don't think so, I think one's in Africa,

-so I'm going to say that is false.

-False.

That was a big hippy thing, wasn't it?

-Yeah, true, California Dreaming. Yes.

-True.

-I don't know. I'll guess false.

-False.

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

-Couple of guesses again?

-D was a massive guess, yeah.

-OK.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and David's answers.

-Matt, has he achieved perfection?

-I think he has a very good chance.

David, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four perfectly to win. How many are right?

-Oh!

-Just one of the four again.

Plainly, David, you have failed to achieve perfection.

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

You can see David's answers. Change three of them.

-I think B's right.

-Has he got one wrong?

-I think they're all in Asia.

D's wrong. Knesset is the parliament of Israel.

-It is?

-Yeah.

-Let's change D.

-Can we change D from false to true?

-You can.

False to true for D, but we need two others changed.

-I think it's A that he's got right.

-OK, you want to go A being right.

-I'll go with that, yeah.

-Can we change the answers for B and C?

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

leaving A as David first answered.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

A is false.

Jake LaMotta, the American boxer, was nicknamed the Raging Bull.

B is true. It is true.

C is false. Upstate New York is where it took place.

You know where this is going. D is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

David, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed. They've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity to make David's chances of winning £6,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board. Because you won the round, Usual Suspects,

you can choose four categories to add to the board, two from this round and two from round one.

Which four would you like David to play in the final?

-Astronomers.

-Can we get astronomers, please?

-Astronomers goes across.

-And the next one?

-US Authors.

-US Authors?

-Yeah.

-OK, can we get US Authors as well, please?

-US Authors is the second.

-Are we going for Inventors?

-Inventors, yeah.

-Can we go for Inventors, please?

-Inventors.

-And finally...

-Marathons.

-Can we go for Marathons, as well?

Marathons becomes the fourth one. Thank you.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you won the second round. Time to switch you off.

See you in round three. They look pleased with themselves.

With the Usual Suspects gone, what do you think of those four?

-I've really gone off the three of them.

-Yeah?

I did say they were your enemies.

You think there's a lot of love up there, but they'll turn you over if they can.

You still have one more chance to find perfection and choose your own categories.

-Are you ready to play? You can do this.

-Yeah.

-Four out of four. All right, let's play round three.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-Yes, I think that is true.

-True.

-The Titanic was built in Belfast. False.

-False.

-Who knows? True.

-True.

Why would that be true?

Why would that be true?

-False, Nick. False.

-False.

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

You looked happy with that round.

Happier. But who knows? I was happy after the last one.

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

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

Chabris, has he achieved perfection?

I think he might have, based on my minimal knowledge. Maybe.

OK, David, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly

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

Yeah!

Congratulations, David, you have achieved perfection. Let's have a look at those answers.

A furlong is equal to one eighth of a mile. Absolutely true.

-The Titanic was built in Southampton. Where did you say it was built?

-Belfast.

It is Belfast. Robert Redford is older than Robert De Niro.

We know that that's true.

-Six years older.

-Yeah, I thought about six.

-Yeah. That's what I thought.

The Olympic flag originally had eight rings and, as you said,

why would it? And so, in actual fact, it is false.

It's always had the five that it has now.

Bad luck, Usual Suspects. He didn't give you a chance to steal.

David, you have made winning the prize fund that much easier. Let's take a look at the final board.

Currently on your final board, four subjects chosen by the Usual Suspects.

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

-I've got to have pop music. I'll have 80s Music.

-80s Music goes across.

-And?

-I'm torn between Cricket and TV Comedy.

I'm going to go TV Comedy.

TV Comedy. So, we now know our six final categories. They are...

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

Cheerio. And David, for £6,000, it's time to play the final.

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

you could leave with £6,000. If you fail, you'll leave with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could be playing for £7,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

David, here are your final six categories.

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

Think carefully. No time limit, but once you've given an answer,

-your first answer will be locked in. You ready?

-Yeah.

Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false. Astronomers.

Edmond Halley was a 20th century astronomer.

I'm going to guess...

Well, I'm going to go with false. I think he's earlier.

False. US Authors.

Mark Twain wrote Tom Sawyer.

Little House On The Prairie was on TV.

It just doesn't sound right, so I'm going to guess false.

False. Inventors.

That's not fair. That's not fair. Nah.

No, I'm going to say that's false.

False. Marathons.

The men's marathon world record is under two hours.

-True.

-True.

-80s Music.

-Oh, dear.

# We are the world...

That was the American Band Aid thing, wasn't it?

Yeah, Michael Jackson... True, Nick.

True. And finally, TV Comedy.

The Office was set in Slough, so that makes that false, doesn't it?

False. David, those answers are locked in.

If there is one single mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of?

I just hope D is right, cos I think I heard that mentioned.

The one I'm least sure of is A.

I don't think I would change any of those at the moment.

All right. So, A and D are the ones that you're worried about?

-Yeah.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see

the statements and David's answers.

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

but you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects. But this will come at a cost.

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

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

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

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

-Hiya, Mo.

I don't think you've achieved perfection but I can't help you.

-Matt?

-Yeah, I think you've done quite well there,

but I think you've got one wrong,

erm, which I'm reasonably confident about.

How confident are you on the others?

Confident on the ones I'm confident on.

-Two or three maybe.

-OK.

-Chabris.

-I think you've got one wrong.

Other than that, I think you've done well.

-How many are you confident on?

-Three or four maybe.

-I'd be willing to come down.

-How many do you think you know?

I'm reasonably confident on most of them.

Coupled with your reasonable confidence on most of them,

and I know definitely that you've got one of them wrong,

-which I'm confident on.

-Do you want to negotiate a price to bring someone down or go it alone?

I'm going to show off. I'm going to go on my own. I think I've got...

-I wouldn't be looking to change any of those answers, I don't think.

-OK.

Negotiations are over. Despite the fact that some of the Usual Suspects were considering coming to help,

you decided to go it alone. £6,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

Now that we're locked in to going through the final, I'm interested,

Matt, you almost came down to change one. Which one?

I've have chosen D.

-D.

-Because I believe it's around about 2.03, 2.04.

This is going to be interesting. Edmond Halley was a 20th century astronomer.

Because that's an interesting one, we'll skip it.

-Oh, thanks.

-Come back to it.

Mark Twain wrote Little House On The Prairie.

You said that was false.

So we need that to turn red for you to get a good start. Is it true or false?

It is false.

It was written by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

If you watched the programme, Laura Ingalls was one of the characters in it,

the little girl, so it was her memories.

OK, we can move on.

Alexander Graham Bell was born in Wales.

You said that was false cos you'd have known about it.

You need this to turn red. Is it true or false?

Oh, thank God for that. HE LAUGHS

-Actually born in Edinburgh.

-I thought he might have been Scottish.

The men's marathon world record is under two hours. This is also interesting,

not only because of your interest, but also the Usual Suspects.

Let's go past that and come back to that.

-Michael Jackson sang on We Are The World.

-Yeah, I think he did.

-You were fairly convinced.

-Yeah.

-Is that true or false?

You need it to turn green to get halfway to the money.

-Well done.

-Ooh.

F, the one that you said you were certain of.

The Office was set in Swindon. We need this to turn red

to keep up the pace. Is it true or false?

It is false.

It was set in Slough.

So, Edmond Halley was a 20th century astronomer.

Is it true or false?

It's false.

He died in 1742.

Now comes the next question. Should you have asked Matt down, because Matt wanted to change this one.

The men's marathon world record is under two hours.

You gave us some thoughts and you said true.

Matt believes that's false.

The men's marathon world record is under two hours.

You said true. You need this to turn green.

For £6,000, is it true or false?

It's false.

-How many did you think it was, Matt?

-2.03, 2.04?

Two hours, three minutes and 59 seconds.

You said 2.03, 2.04. Couldn't have been more accurate.

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 £7,000.

-You've got to be pleased with that.

-ALL: Yeah!

Five out of six, David. Close, but you failed to achieve perfection

-so you go home with nothing. Enjoyed playing, though?

-I was three minutes away from £6,000.

-THEY LAUGH

-Yeah, three minutes was all the difference that it took.

-Hope you enjoyed it.

-Yeah, thanks.

-David, everybody.

APPLAUSE

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

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

My name is Franc and I'm a sales executive from South Warwickshire.

Welcome, Franc. What do you make of these people?

I think they're a good-looking bunch, aren't they?

-Really?

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Course we are!

-They're all better looking than I am.

It must be the light from here.

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

-Oh!

-Chabris, your time has come. You've been selected.

Please come and play Perfection.

-Welcome to the hot seat. I have to mention the footwear. What's going on?

-Erm, these are my lucky wellies.

-So you've been wearing them every game.

-Yes, every game.

And lucky number seven, seventh game, seven grand.

Good luck. Hope they work for you. Chabris, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

The good news is nobody has won the last six games, so the prize fund currently stands at £7,000.

For somebody who's between jobs, the money will be very handy.

-Anything specific you want to spend it on?

-I recently moved in with my grandma, cos she's not been well,

and she wants a few adjustments to the house to make it easier for her,

so I'd probably give some of the money to her to sort that out, and help out my mum.

The rest I'd put aside and help me in my job searching.

-You want to go into...?

-Presenting or acting.

-Right.

-So I've come for your job.

-Do you fancy having a go at this?

-Yeah.

-Definitely.

-All right, if you let me carry on for the moment, just till the end of the show.

Three rounds and a final to come. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything, but as soon as Chabris makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

And away they go. Chabris, you can now talk through your answers, OK?

-Ready?

-Yep.

-Good. Let's play Perfection.

Round one. Your 45 seconds start now.

Erm, I'm going to say...true.

True.

-False.

-False.

Erm, I don't think it was Dirtee Disco, so I'm going to say false.

False.

-Erm, I'm going to say...false to that, as well. Yeah.

-False.

OK, you've answered all four statements in time. How was that?

I'm still unsure about C and I thought I was up-to-date with music

but I've been a bit thrown by that one.

OK, before we reveal how well you've done, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

-Franc, has she achieved perfection?

-No.

-What's she got wrong?

-There's definitely one wrong.

-Which one?

-A.

You need to have answered all four perfectly to win the round. How many are correct?

Just two of the four. Unfortunately, you failed to achieve perfection.

You've now let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal? You need to change two answers.

I think she's got D right.

-No, I think it's a bird.

-Yeah, she's got that right.

-She's got D right.

-A is wrong.

-Yeah, A's wrong.

-We've got to change A.

-We're going to change A from true to false.

-A goes from true to false.

-And I'm going to take an executive decision

-if we're not going to decide on the others.

-I've heard of Dirtee...

-We'll do B, then.

-You want to change B from false to true,

leaving C and D as answered by Chabris.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

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

A is false. It's a city in Malaysia.

It's not an island at all.

Despite some disagreement, Matt made an executive decision to change B.

Is it true or false?

False.

It stands for Europe.

Have you managed to achieve perfection at home? Let's find out.

Was C true or false?

That's the one that's true.

Is D true or false?

It is false. It is a type of seagull.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round but you failed to achieved perfection.

Had you achieved perfection, you'd now be able to make Chabris's chance of winning the prize fund harder.

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

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

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

will be carried over to the next round. Usual Suspects, time to switch you off.

See you in round two. Away they go.

Chabris, now the Usual Suspects can't hear you,

looking at those categories, what do you hope they don't choose for you?

Colonies and Aviation, probably.

OK. Remember, to win the prize fund, you need to answer all six questions correctly. Let's play round two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-No way. That has to be false.

-False.

Erm...

-I think that's false, as well.

-False.

-No clue. I'm going to say true.

-True.

I studied World War II.

-It doesn't ring any bells. I'm going to say false.

-False.

With a few seconds to spare, you answered all four statements.

-What's the matter?

-My history teacher's going to kill me.

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

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

-Mo, has she achieved perfection?

-No, she hasn't, Nick.

-Which ones are wrong?

-A and B.

-Matt, do you agree?

-I do, although I think also D is wrong.

-OK.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to win the round. How many are correct?

You failed to achieve perfection.

You've let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal? You need to change three answers.

-A is wrong.

-Yep.

-B is wrong.

-Yep.

-C is right and D is wrong.

-OK.

We're saying that C is correct, so we'll change A from false to true.

-Thank you.

-B from false to true.

-Yep.

And D from false to true.

Leaving C as answered by Chabris. Let's find out the correct answers.

Is A true or false?

Yep, it is true.

Is B true or false?

It is true.

Is C true or false?

It is true. So you know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

Is D true or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You achieved perfection.

Unfortunately, Chabris, you've failed where they've succeeded. They've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Chabris's chances of winning £7,000 harder.

Let's see the final board. Because you won the round, Usual Suspects,

you've earned the right to choose four categories to add to the board,

two from this round, two from round one. Which four would you like?

-Aviation.

-I think Aviation.

-Yeah, I'm happy with that.

-Aviation please, Nick.

-Aviation goes in.

Yeah, I was thinking Wars, as well. And Wars, please.

-Wars. You need two more.

-What about Rivers? She got the Nile wrong.

-Yeah.

-OK. Rivers, please.

-Rivers goes in.

-Do you think she'd know much about explorers?

-Erm...

-Or colonies?

-I'm quite happy to go with either of those.

-We'll go for Colonies.

-OK, that sounds good.

-Yeah, fine.

Colonies is in the final. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You've won the second round. Time to switch you off. See you in round three. Away they go.

Chabris, the Usual Suspects can't hear you.

-There's two on there that you said you didn't want to get.

-I know.

Thinking about aviation, it's going to sound so silly,

but in Night At The Museum II, they go into the aviation museum.

I'm trying to kick through that scene in my head.

Interesting. OK, you still have one more chance to find perfection and choose two categories for the final.

-Ready to play the next round?

-Yep.

-Let's play round three.

Your 45 seconds start now.

My sister's going to kill me if I don't get this.

I know there's Tom. Danny...

-I'm going to have to say...true.

-True.

-Erm, I'm going to go for false.

-False.

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

I remember a thing called Brotherly Love and it's set in Boston,

-so I'll say true.

-True.

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

If I get A wrong... There's Tom, Dougie...

-And I don't know the other ones, so I hope that's right.

-All right.

Before we reveal how you did, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

-Franc?

-D is definitely wrong.

The City of Brotherly Love is Philadelphia.

OK, Chabris, the moment of truth.

You need to answer all four statements perfectly to win. How many are correct?

Three out of the four is not bad, but it's not good enough.

You haven't achieved perfection, so you've let the Usual Suspects

into the game again. Usual Suspects, can you steal?

You can see Chabris's answers. You need to change just one.

I wonder which one it's going to be.

-I think we're unanimous, Nick.

-Yeah.

-We're unanimous.

That'd be D from true to false, please.

D changes from true to false. A, B and C remain as Chabris answered.

Let's find out the correct answers.

Is A true or false?

It's true. No woman has ever driven in Formula 1. True or false?

False. The first female driver was in 1958.

Is C true or false?

We know that to be true. Boston is known as the City of Brotherly Love,

is that true or false? It is false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you achieved perfection.

Absolutely right. It is Philadelphia that is known as the City of Brotherly Love.

Chabris, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed. They've stolen the round.

Let's see the final board. Four subjects chosen by Usual Suspects.

You won that last round so you've earned the right to choose the last two subjects. What will they be?

-I think we go for Explorers.

-Explorers please, Nick.

-Explorers goes in. And?

-Kings?

-Kings please, Nick.

Kings goes in, as well. Thank you. We now know our six final categories. They are...

Time to switch you off for the final time. Away they go.

All right, Chabris, for £7,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection, you could leave with £7,000.

-Sounds good, doesn't it?

-Definitely.

-Let's play the final round.

Here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £7,000.

-There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, your first answer is locked in. Ready?

-Yep.

Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false. Aviation.

The first thing that came to my mind was true,

so I'm going to stick with my gut instinct and say true.

True. Wars.

The Tet Offensive took place during the Korean War.

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

True. Rivers.

The Orinoco River is in Africa.

I've never even heard of it. I'm going to say...

..true, as well, please.

True. Colonies.

Do you know what?

I think I know this answer,

cos I think it was to do with when Mussolini went in there.

And if I get this wrong, I'm going to shoot myself in the foot,

so I'm going to say... yeah, it's true.

True. Explorers.

Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer.

It doesn't sound Portuguese to me, to be quite honest,

so I'm going to say false.

False. And finally, Kings.

Richard II died at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

I don't think he did. I'm going to say false.

False.

Chabris, those answers are locked in.

If there is a single mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-Because I go with my gut instinct,

I'm OK with A and B and D.

The other three, I'm not too sure about.

-You're worried about C, E and F?

-Yeah.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and Chabris's answers. Chabris, your answers are locked in.

You can't change them by yourself, but you can unlock them

with the help of Usual Suspects. But at a cost.

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

I've served the most time with you, Matt, so I'll go for you.

I think you've done quite well, although I do think you have

two questions wrong.

But I'm not entirely sure on the others

-to be confident at this moment.

-Mo?

I think you've got at least two wrong.

So are you prepared to help?

-No. I'm not 100 percent on the questions, either.

-Mo's out.

-Franc?

-I think you've definitely got three right.

There's one wrong definitely.

And there's two I'm a little bit iffy about.

You look like you might have an idea.

I know you've definitely got one wrong and three right, that's four.

-You could come down and talk about it.

-I might just do that.

-Would we go halves? Is that OK?

-Yeah, let's go for it.

-Really?

-Go for it?

-Let's go for it.

-APPLAUSE

-Negotiations have been agreed.

Franc, for £3,500 of the £7,000 on offer, please come and join us.

OK, Chabris, you've asked Franc for help.

If you achieve perfection, it'll cost you £3,500 of your £7,000.

Franc, you've now forfeited your chance to play. This is your only chance at winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision? We're about to find out. Here are the final round statements.

All six answers are now unlocked.

Franc, which answers do you want Chabris to change?

I want to change E from false to true.

I know you're right about D.

I know you're right about C.

I'm fairly comfortable with A.

Which leaves us with B and F.

The Tet Offensive sounds a bit Korean-ish.

It does sound a little bit, but it could be...

-It's a bit of an iffy one.

-I can't recall it from anything else.

So what changes do you want to make?

-Can we change E?

-Yes, change E to true.

E changes from false to true.

Anything else you want to change before we lock down?

Can we keep... Sorry, can I take a rub? OK.

Can we keep the rest of the answers the same, please?

OK, after a rub of the lucky boots,

you want to keep all the others the same, so you're locking them in.

Thank you, and there they go.

Your answers are now locked in. Let's find out if they've achieved perfection.

Right, we'll start at the top. Or we could start at the bottom,

because you changed E, so we'll put you out of your misery, yes?

-Go on, then.

-We'll start at the bottom.

Richard II died at the Battle of Bosworth Field. You said false.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

It was Richard III who died at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

So then we come to Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer.

You thought it didn't sound very Portuguese.

Franc, however, agreed to come down for half the prize fund,

he said true. If it turns red, it was a mistake to invite Franc down

and you're going home with no cash.

Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer. Is that true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

First European expedition around the Cape of Good Hope. Cracking start.

Two out of two. Let's press on. Ethiopia was once a colony of Italy.

You said that you had a feeling this was true, down to Mussolini.

Ethiopia was once a colony of Italy. True of false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

Five years, from 1936.

The Orinoco River is in Africa.

Chabris, you took a punt at this, I think it's fair to say.

Franc came down to help you out and agreed that it was true.

Is that true of false?

It's false.

It's in South America.

So, I'm afraid, Chabris and Franc, you failed to achieve perfection, you haven't won the cash.

I wonder whether you managed to achieve perfection at home. Let's press on.

The Tet Offensive took place during the Korean War.

Sounds like the kind of thing that could happen. Tet might be Korean. You said true. Is it true or false?

-It's false.

-Makes me feel a bit better now.

-Yeah, it does.

-It's all right now.

-I was fairly sure...

-You feel better?

-I do, cos I got two wrong now. So it's further away from perfection.

-Exactly.

And finally, Amy Johnson was a famous American pilot. You said true.

Is it true or false?

-It's false.

-Even better!

-THEY LAUGH

-She was English.

-Even better.

-Really?

OK, so, half right, half wrong. Either way, 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 £8,000.

-Liking the sound of that?

-Yep.

-Yep, very much.

Very good. Chabris and Franc, you took a punt.

-Yeah, took a punt.

-But you failed to achieve perfection, which means you both go home with nothing.

-Enjoyed it?

-Yeah, great time.

-Yeah.

-Lovely. Franc and Chabris.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for. Please join us next time

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £8,000.

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