Episode 26 Perfection

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

These four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless.

One mistake can give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

Behind me are the contestants, the "usual suspects",

in an isolation room.

One of them will be randomly selected to play Perfection.

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

So if I said...

..would you say that's true or false?

If you said true, you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets an answer wrong, the usual suspects come into the game

to capitalise on their mistakes.

You know how the game works. Let's meet the usual suspects.

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a London taxi driver from Enfield, London, and this is my first game.

I'm Denis, from Glasgow. I'm an advertising consultant. This is my second game.

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

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

-Welcome, all, especially Bill.

-Thank you, Nick.

-Looking forward to playing?

-Absolutely.

-Do you want to come down for the cash or hang up there?

-I'm going to nick as much as I can.

Welcome and good luck, as we find out who will be randomly picked to play Perfection.

Denis, you've been selected.

Please come and play Perfection.

Denis, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-Advertising consultant.

-Yes.

-People ask what you think of an advert and you go "Not bad."

-No, I sell advertising.

-Oh, you do?

-Yes.

-Denis, it's you versus the usual suspects.

Your team mates are now enemies. Their job is to stop you winning.

Your failure means the prize money rolls over and one of them could be playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Here's the good news.

Nobody's won the past nine games so the prize fund currently stands at £10,000.

That is the highest it's got to on this series so far,

and you're in with a chance of winning it. What would you spend it on?

About two years ago, my kids emigrated to Australia.

I've never been to Australia so I'd really love to take my mum

and my wife over to Australia to see where they live.

Go for a couple of weeks and take my mum round with the kids.

That sounds great. Australia's great to see. A nice part of the world.

Best of luck with it. You'll play three rounds, then a final.

Every time you achieve perfection makes the final easier.

But if your performance is less than perfect, the usual suspects can step in, making the final harder.

More of that later. Usual suspects, we'll switch you off for now,

so you can't see or hear anything. Cheerio and away they go.

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

-Yep.

-Each round consists of four true or false statements, you're against the clock.

You'll have 45 seconds. The first answer you give will be locked in. Happy?

-Happy.

-Ready?

-Let's do it.

-Let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-No, that's false. That's where Noel Edmonds was. False.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-No, that was Billy Joel. False.

-Thank you.

I think that's false as well.

I'm sure it was named after the inventor who was Mr Bunsen.

With time to spare, you answered all four statements.

-You sounded very positive.

-I feel good about that, actually.

-Perfection?

-Could be. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

Before we see how you did, let's bring back the usual suspects.

Usual suspects, these are the four statements with Denis's answers.

Bill, has he achieved perfection?

I'm afraid so!

-Ooh. Mo, do you agree?

-It's looking good.

Matt, is it perfection?

Unfortunately, I agree. I think it's perfection.

-Say it again, Matt, say it again!

-Not a chance!

Not a chance. Denis, you need to have answered all statements perfectly

to have won the round. How many are correct?

Denis, you have achieved perfection. That's the way to do it.

Very good. Let's take a look at the answers. If a statement is true, it turns green, false, it turns red.

-Do you know where Postman Pat does work?

-No.

-Greendale.

Piano Man is a greatest hits album by Elton John. It certainly isn't.

-Who did you say it was?

-Billy Joel.

-Absolutely right.

The Bunsen burner is named after a Bavarian town. True or false? That is false.

-It's named after...

-Is it Heinrich Bunsen?

Robert, actually. But you were absolutely right.

Well done. Fantastic.

-You don't get a look in!

-Not a lot.

-Not at the moment.

-Denis,

with that perfect performance, you've made winning the prize fund easier.

Here is your final board. The six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Behind each category is a true or false statement. You'll need to answer all six correctly.

Here are your final round categories.

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

-Which two do you fancy playing in the final?

-'80s movies.

-'80s movies.

-And...fictional animals.

Fictional animals goes across. Usual suspects, see you in the next round.

In the meantime, we'll switch you off.

Away they go.

Denis, now the usual suspects can't hear you, what would you like to avoid?

Prince Charles.

-All I know about him is he's got big ears.

-Anything else?

-Binary code, cos that's just ones and zeros.

-OK.

Denis, you've made a great start to the game. Let's keep up the momentum.

Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

-That is true.

-True.

Erm... Do they have badgers in America?

-False.

-False.

Now I believe that is true. But he wasn't a lady.

True.

We have time to spare.

You answered all four statements.

-Happy with that round? Not so happy.

-The badger one's a bit weird.

-Yeah.

Before we see how you've done, let's bring back the usual suspects.

Usual suspects, these were the four statements with Denis's answers.

Mo, has he achieved perfection?

I think he has, Nick.

Matt?

Yeah, much as I hate to admit it, I think so.

The only one is Boutros Boutros-Ghali, but I'm not sure.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

Close, but no cigar. You needed to achieve perfection and you failed.

You've let the usual suspects into the game.

Usual suspects, can you steal the round? You need to change just one answer.

-You weren't sure about B.

-No, I wasn't sure.

-I was thinking about that.

-What do you think?

-I think it's C that's wrong, but don't put your money on me!

-I reckon it's B or C.

-I think B.

-We're going to go for B, from true to false.

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

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

The Tate Modern Gallery is a converted church. True or false?

It is false. It's a converted power station.

Boutros Boutros-Ghali was UN Secretary General. True or false?

True. You changed the wrong one.

Usual suspects, you had a chance to steal the round but failed to achieve perfection.

Could you achieve perfection at home? Still on for it?

Wisconsin is known as the Badger State. True or false?

It's actually true.

David Walliams has appeared in EastEnders. True or false?

Yes, he has appeared in two episodes.

Let's have a look at the board.

Two choices on there already chosen by Denis.

But because neither side won the round, those two categories will be carried over to the next round.

So four categories will be on offer, making it a good one to win for either side.

Usual suspects, I'll switch you off. See you in Round Three. Away they go.

Denis, with four categories on offer, the next round is crucial.

-Ready?

-Let's do it.

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

I've only ever had one of them, nutmeg.

-True, why not?

-True.

-Got to come from somewhere.

No, that's false cos it's Miller... No, Miller and Webb...

-No, it's false.

-False.

-I may as well toss a coin. Cricket is a game I hate. So true.

-True.

With seconds to spare, you've answered all four statements.

-So?

-Apart from the last one and the first one and the second one

and the one in the middle, I'm fairly confident!

Before we see how well you've done, we'll bring back the usual suspects.

Usual suspects, these are the four statements with Denis's answers.

-Bill?

-Notting Hill Carnival is a lot later than April.

-Ain't got a clue about nutmeg and mace.

-All right. Mo?

I don't know anything about D cos I'm not a cricket fan.

But I'm a bit unsure about B.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two of the four. Not perfection. You've allowed the usual suspects back into the game.

Usual suspects, can you steal the round? Four subjects on offer here. It's a good one to win.

You need to change two of Denis's answers.

-It's C and A.

-C and A.

-Yep.

-We're in agreement.

-A is true to false.

-A goes from true to false.

-And C is false to true.

-False to true. Thank you.

Leaving B and D as answered by Denis.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Every August bank holiday.

Robert Webb is Ben Miller's comedy partner. True or false?

False!

Alexander Armstrong. So there you go. Unfortunately,

you had the chance to steal the round from Denis but failed to achieve perfection.

Did you achieve perfection at home? Let's find out.

False. He's one of the all-time great jockeys.

Usual suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you could have made Denis's chance of winning the prize fund much harder. Let's see the board.

Still only two categories on there, chosen by Denis.

Nobody managed to win Round Three either. So we have four blank spaces to fill.

So you'll take it in turn to choose a category.

Denis, you get to choose first. What do you fancy to take into the final?

Cities.

Cities goes in. Usual suspects, choose a category you think will trouble Denis.

-Binary code?

-Yeah, I thought that.

-Binary code?

-OK.

-Binary code, please.

Binary code goes in. Denis?

-I'm scared to pick phobias, but I think I'll pick it!

-See what you did, there!

Phobias goes across. Finally, usual suspects?

-I'm thinking equine anatomy.

-Equine. I thought that.

-Equine anatomy.

-Equine anatomy, please, Nick.

-Equine anatomy

goes across. We now know our six final categories. They are:

Usual suspects, we'll switch you off for the final time. Cheerio!

-What do you reckon, Denis?

-Binary code could be anything.

Equine anatomy. They've got four legs, a tail and a head! Can't be much different!

Denis, it's for £10,000. The largest sum we've had so far.

-It's a lot of cash.

-It's a lot.

For £10,000, it's time to play the final.

Denis, if you can achieve perfection you could leave with a prize fund of £10,000. Sound good?

-Sounds very good.

-If you fail, you leave with nothing at all.

-Not so good.

-But I've met you!

There's always a bonus. Every cloud has a silver lining!

I don't think that'll make up for not getting £10,000!

But it will be great news for the usual suspects, as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £11,000

on the next game. Let's play the final round.

Denis, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £10,000.

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

-Yep.

-Let's reveal your first statement. Is it true or false?

Right. Ron Howard is the guy from Happy Days.

No.

-False.

-False.

Rikki-Tikki... It doesn't sound very wolfy. Wolves are hard and mean.

That's a bit...

-False.

-False.

True. Straight in with that one.

True.

101.

-False.

-False.

I don't know if you can have a fear of phobias, cos then you'd live in a box, terrified!

-False.

-False.

The fet...

The name would...

-True.

-True.

Those answers are locked in. If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-Rikki Tikki-Tavi.

And the binary one. I knew the binary one would get me.

-B and D, then.

-B and D.

-All right.

Let's bring back the usual suspects and see what they say.

Usual suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Denis's answers.

Denis, your answers are locked in. You can't change them.

But if you think you've made a mistake, you can get help from the usual suspects, but at a cost.

Usual suspects, I'm going to ask you how well you think Denis has done,

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

All of you, you can't refer to any statement specifically.

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

-Spike - Matt.

There's one that I am 98% sure that you have wrong.

The others I think you've done pretty well on.

So I'm not sure at the moment. I'll have a think. Come back to me.

-There's £100 in it if you want to come down!

-That'll do me fine, Denis! No!

Let's have a go with Mo.

Denis, I know you've got at least one wrong.

But I'm not prepared to come down cos I'm not too sure on the others.

-I don't want to waste your time or waste money.

-Buffalo Bill?

I can't help you here, Denis. Good luck, Matt. If he knows what's good for him, he should come down.

I'm going to ask you one question, Denis, not to mess you around.

How confident are you on the remaining... On the questions you've answered?

I'm fairly positive. There were two I was a bit hazy on.

But if you're saying one, then the other one we could work out.

But I want more money than you. I'm going to be fair.

5,100 to me, £4,900 to you. Come down and let's do this.

-OK. Sounds good.

-So you're going to do it?

-Yeah, I'll do that.

-Negotiations are over.

Matt has accepted £4,900 of the £10,000 pot.

Come and join us, Matt.

OK, Denis, you've asked Matt for help.

If you achieve perfection, it'll cost you £4,900 of your prize fund of £10,000.

Matt, you've forfeited your chance to play in the next game. This is your only shot at winning.

Was it the right decision? Let's find out.

Here are the final round statements.

Matt, which answers do you want Denis to change?

The one I thought was incorrect was F.

-Where do you think they are?

-Legs.

Cool.

The one that I was hoping you'd back me up on is the decimal number.

Five in binary. Not got a clue?

That was one of the ones I was hoping you'd be sure of!

-Want to make some changes?

-Change yours and go for it.

-OK.

-I'll change F to False.

F changes from true to false.

-Anything else? Or is that it?

-Keep the rest in?

-OK.

-Keep everything else the same.

-Everything remains the same.

Lock those answers in. The answers are now locked in.

£10,000 now at stake. £5,100 to Denis, £4,900 to Matt.

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

Starting at the top. Dirty Dancing was directed by Ron Howard.

You had to think about it. You need this to turn red to get a good start.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

Least we got that one!

Emile Ardolino was the director.

Let's go to Rikki-Tikki-Tavi being a wolf. You said false.

-It didn't sound wolfy enough to you.

-No. Wolves are hard.

You stuck with false even after Matt came down. You need this to turn red.

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a wolf. True or false?

It's false.

From a famous Rudyard Kipling story, he is a mongoose.

-Oh.

-Oh.

-Where do we go from here. Memphis is the capital of Tennessee. Denis, you said true.

-That was your quickest answer.

-Yes.

So, is it true or false?

It's false!

Does it ring any bells, Nashville, Tennessee?

-Nashville.

-Nashville, I'm afraid. Denis, Matt, I'm afraid you didn't achieve perfection.

Perhaps you achieved perfection at home.

The decimal number five is written as 101 in binary.

True or false?

It's true, so that one's wrong, too.

On to the next one. Phobophobia is the fear of phobias.

You said that was plainly ridiculous. So you said false.

Is it true or false?

True!

It's true, I'm afraid.

Then we get to the one that Matt came down to help you with

and got you to change. A horse's fetlocks are on its neck.

You said true. Matt got you to change it to false.

Is this true or false?

It is false.

-It's just above its hoof.

-Hoof.

-On its legs.

So usual suspects, great news for you. The prize fund rolls over

where one of you could be playing for a new total of £11,000!

Looks like you're posing for a photo!

OK!

Denis and Matt. Bad news for you, I'm afraid.

-You failed to achieve perfection so you go home with nothing.

-Sorry, mate.

-Enjoyed it?

-No!

-I know you haven't, Denis, you've hardly been here!

-Matt, you've been captain. Enjoyed it?

-Thoroughly. Had a fantastic time.

Lovely. Matt and Denis, everybody.

Time to meet the next usual suspects hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, I'm Dafydd. I'm a science communicator from Cardiff.

Hi, I'm Linda. I'm a customer assistant from Manchester.

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

Mo, you've been selected. Please come and play Perfection.

-Mo, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-We know you're an administrator.

-Yes.

-Any hobbies?

-I collect Betty Boop porcelain dolls.

-Betty Boop porcelain dolls.

-Yes.

-That's a narrow market, isn't it?

-No, it's not.

-A few about, are there?

-There's a lot about, yes.

-OK.

-If you do well, you can buy a few more!

-Yep!

Mo, it's you versus the usual suspects. They were your team mates,

now they're your enemies.

Here's the good news. Nobody's won the past ten games.

The prize fund currently stands at £11,000.

That'll do me!

What would you do with £11,000 if you won it here?

I'd like to take my mum on holiday.

She's not been very well and she's 81.

She can't travel abroad, and there's plenty of nice places in England to take her.

Good luck. Three rounds and a final to come. Usual suspects,

we'll switch you off so you can't see or hear anything.

As soon as Mo makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game. Away they go.

Mo, you can now talk without giving away any vital knowledge.

-Ready?

-Yes, fine. Let's go.

-Let's play Perfection.

Round One. Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-Sounds like it could be. True.

-True.

With time to spare, you answered all four statements. Good round?

-50/50.

-Before we see how you did, let's bring back the usual suspects.

Usual suspects, these were the four statements with Mo's answers.

-Dafydd, how's she done?

-As far as I'm concerned, that's not perfection.

I think Tchaikovsky did write the music for Swan Lake.

And Stinking Bishop is a cheese.

-Linda?

-I don't think she's got perfection this time.

-I think she may have two wrong.

-Same two as Dafydd?

-No, a different two.

-Which two?

-B and C.

OK, Mo.

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

Just two of the four. You've failed to achieve perfection

and let the usual suspects into the game.

Usual suspects, can you steal the round? You need to change two of Mo's answers.

-Tchaikovsky, I think.

-A is definitely right.

-A and C are definitely right.

-OK. B is wrong.

-It's B and D to change. She's only got two.

-Yeah.

-Do that, then.

Being the pirate that I am,

-we'll change B to true.

-B changes from false to true.

And D changes from true to false.

D changes from true to false,

leaving A and C as answered by Mo.

Let's see the correct answers. If a statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.

In Porridge, Fletcher's first name is Norman. True or false?

At the start they'd announce Norman Stanley Fletcher.

Tchaikovsky wrote the music for Swan Lake. True or false?

It's true.

Habeas Corpus was a Roman governor of Britain. True or false?

It is false

so you know where this is going.

Stinking Bishop is a variety of fungus. True or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, usual suspects, you have achieved perfection.

Stinking Bishop is, in fact, a cheese. You were right.

It's also, oddly enough, a variety of pear.

Mo. They succeeded where you failed. They've stolen the round.

-Yeah.

-Usual suspects, you can now make Mo's chances of winning the prize fund that much harder.

Here's how. Mo, this is your final board appearing.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories.

Because the usual suspects have stolen the round from you,

they choose two categories hoping to make the final harder for you.

-Usual suspects, which two would you like Mo to play in the final?

-What do we think?

What about mythical beasts?

-Yeah, I'll go for that.

-It's quite hard.

-Yeah, that's generally a guess one.

So that one's going across. Mythical beasts.

-New York?

-What about New York City?

-I should think the questions are a bit limited.

-It just depends.

-Could be a thousand questions.

-OK, New York City. I'll listen to my team.

New York City goes across as the second category in the final.

Usual suspects, you've won the first round. We'll switch you off and see you in Round Two.

Away they go.

Mo, they can't hear you. What do you reckon on what they've chosen?

Well, not too bad. Harry Potter there's a lot of mythical beasts.

-New York City. I've been to New York.

-Yes? What do you want to avoid?

Prime ministers and battles.

Prime ministers and battles. It's only the first round. You have two more rounds to find perfection

-and choose your own categories for the final. That's the way forward. Ready?

-Yes.

-Shall we press on?

-Press.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

True.

-True.

-True.

With time to spare, you answered all four. How did that feel?

-Not too bad. I've been to Tallinn in Estonia.

-You've been there?

-Yes.

Before we see how you did, let's bring back the usual suspects.

Usual suspects, these are the four statements with Mo's answers.

Bill, what do you reckon?

-Being the brain that I am, I haven't got a clue, Nick!

-Thanks for your input, Bill!

-Dafydd, what do you reckon?

-That's exactly how I would have played that.

All the same answers.

That's not to say it's true.

-Sounds promising.

-It does, doesn't it?

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

Let's see how many you got correct.

Oh! Nearly!

Close ain't good enough. You had to achieve perfection to hold on to it.

That means the usual suspects are allowed in once again.

Usual suspects, you can see Mo's answers.

You need to change just one of them. But which one?

-Which one do you think is definitely right?

-I think Fame Academy is right.

And I think Tallinn is right.

A and C, I think, are right.

You think A and C are right. I think D is correct.

What about B, then? Alex Rider.

-I've never heard of him.

-I don't know anything about it.

There's something hitting true in there, with Alex Rider.

Something's niggling in the back of my brain.

-It's got to be a guess.

-I say B.

-I'll go with B, then.

-You're going B?

-Big gamble.

Change B from true to false, please.

B changes from true to false, leaving A, C and D as Mo answered.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Lemar won the first series of Fame Academy. True or false?

It is false.

He came third in that series.

The literary character Alex Rider is a teenage spy. True or false?

It's true.

Alex Rider appears in the books by Anthony Horowitz.

Unfortunately, usual suspects, you had the chance to steal the round from Mo

but failed to achieve perfection. Can you achieve perfection at home?

Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia. True or false?

Everyone was convinced that was true and they were right.

Escorial is the language of the Basque people. True or false?

-False.

-Never heard of it.

El Escorial is a royal palace near Madrid.

So, usual suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you could have made Mo's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Let's look at the board. Here it is. Two categories chosen by the usual suspects. Mo,

because neither side won the round, the two categories will be carried over to the next round.

So four categories will be on offer. Usual suspects, I'll switch you off.

We'll see you in Round Three. Away they go.

Mo, with four categories on offer, this is a really important round to win.

It could prove crucial. Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-Seems too daft to be true. I'll say true.

-True.

-True.

-True.

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

A bit... I know one's right.

-That's about it!

-Really?

-Yeah.

Before we see how well you've done,

time to bring back the usual suspects.

Usual suspects, these were the four statements, with Mo's answers.

-Dafydd, what do you think?

-B is correct, but that's all I know.

-Linda, has she done well?

-B is correct and she may have another... I think she's got A wrong.

You think maybe A is wrong. Mo, you need to have answered all statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

-Again!

-Close, but not perfection.

Which means you've let the usual suspects into the game.

Usual suspects, can you steal the round? You need to change one of Mo's answers.

-B is right. We all agree.

-B is definitely right.

I think Emile Heskey could be called Ivanhoe. Tresco and Bryher, I've never heard of them.

-Tresco is a town in Cornwall, isn't it?

-I don't know.

-I think it is.

-Giants from Cornish myth.

-Don't know if it's a myth.

Mary Rose definitely didn't sink off the Bay of Biscay.

-So C or D, then.

-It's C or D.

Emile is a funny name anyway, so she might have called him Ivanhoe as well.

-I don't know. It's up to you.

-Sounds illogical. As captain, I'm going to change D from true to false.

D is changing from true to false.

So A, B and C remain as Mo answered.

Usual suspects, let's see what the correct answers are.

The Mary Rose sank off the Bay of Biscay. True or false?

It is false.

It sank in the Solent.

Conjunctivitis is a condition affecting the eye. True or false?

Yes, that's true. One of Emile Heskey's middle names is Ivanhoe.

True or false?

Yes, it is true.

Tresco and Bryher are giants from Cornish myth. True or false?

It is false. Usual suspects, you have achieved perfection.

In fact, Tresco and Bryher are two of the Isles of Scilly,

which are just off the end of Cornwall.

Oh, dear, Mo. Oh, dear.

-I did better than I thought.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Not good enough, though.

-No.

-They succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round.

Usual suspects, you can make Mo's chance of winning the prize fund as hard as it could be.

Let's see the final board.

Two subject categories on there, already chosen by you.

Because you won the round, you choose the next four categories to add to the board.

That's two from this round and two that rolled over from last round.

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

-What about Battles?

-Battles. I think so. Yeah, Battles.

Battles goes across.

-Asia? What do you think?

-I'll go with Asia.

-Yes, Asia.

-Asia.

-Looks like she's had a few drinks in her time, so not Liqueurs.

-He knows me!

-Charles Dickens could be an easy one.

-Prime ministers can be nasty!

-Which one?

-Prime ministers.

Prime ministers goes across.

-One more.

-What about poetry? That can be quite hard, that.

Yes, let's have something that rhymes. Poetry.

Poetry goes across. We now know our six final categories. They are...

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

Away they go.

Mo, for £11,000, it's time to play the final.

The all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £11,000.

-Very nice!

-If you fail, you'll leave with nothing.

-Well.

But great news for the usual suspects, as one of them could play for a rollover

of £12,000 on the next game.

-Ready?

-Ready as I'll ever be.

-Let's play the final round.

Here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £11,000.

No time limit, but once you've given an answer, it'll be locked in.

-Right.

-Ready?

-Yep.

-Let's reveal your first statement. Is it true or false?

The Andes. Cold in the Andes.

Yeti, yeti, yeti..

-False.

-False.

I've been. I'm trying to think.

Manhattan Island.

False.

False.

Crimea. Sedan.

Sedan. Sedan.

-False.

-False.

Krakatoa. Indonesia.

-True.

-True.

I know he was prime minister, but whether it was over ten years...

-False.

-False.

John Milton.

I know Paradise Lost, but I don't know who wrote it.

-True.

-True.

Mo,

those answers are locked in. One mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are bothering you?

-B. I've been to Manhattan. It's an island, not a borough.

-But I don't know.

-So B is really getting on your nerves.

-Yes.

All right. Let's see what the usual suspects have got to say.

Usual suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Mo's answers.

Mo, you can't change an answer by yourself,

but you can unlock them with the help of the usual suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-Dafydd.

I'm not touching that with a ten-foot pole! No way.

-You're not coming down for anything?

-Definitely not.

-Linda.

-Hiya, Mo. I think you may have two wrong.

-But I'm not sure and I'm not prepared to come down and help you. Sorry.

-Next?

There's only Bill left!

-That's a big intro, isn't it?

-Thank you! Very good.

-Sorry, Bill.

-Mo, I'm so sorry, there are too many irregularities there in my brain.

I really wish I could help you. I hope you've won, but I honestly don't know. I really don't know.

-OK. I'll go it alone, then.

-You're on your own. £11,000 at stake.

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

The Yeti is said to live in the Andes. You had to think about this. You went for false.

To get you started, we need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

-I were worried about that!

-Were you?

-Really worried about that.

-Himalayas. Does that ring a bell?

-Yeah.

-Is where it's said to live.

The next one. In area, Manhattan is the largest borough.

You said false. You've been there and you were angry that you didn't know.

We need this to turn red.

If it turns green, you go home with nothing. If it goes red, you're still on your way. True or false?

Ooh!

It is, actually, the island of Manhattan, the smallest of the boroughs.

All right. Sedan was a battle of the Crimean War.

Could you get three red in a row

and be halfway towards the £11,000?

We need this to turn red for you.

Sedan was a battle of the Crimean War. True or false?

The Franco-Prussian war was the one.

Krakatoa is an Indonesian island. You've had a run of three reds. You need this to turn green.

If it turns green, you're still in touch for the £11,000.

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

Krakatoa is an Indonesian island. True or false?

I daren't look!

-Ooh!

-It's true.

I'm surprised at myself!

Let's continue. Look at that so far.

For a board you said you didn't have a clue on. Four ticks on the right there.

Four out of four. You're just two answers away from £11,000. All right.

Let's press on. Gladstone was prime minister for over ten years in total.

-Was this a guess?

-They're all guesses.

-Really?

-All guesses.

Wow. Luck's been with you so far. Can it hold out?

Gladstone was prime minister for over ten years in total. True or false?

Come on!

Go on!

Oh!

Eeee!

I'm afraid 12-and-a-half, so he was prime minister for over ten years in total.

I'm afraid you haven't managed to achieve perfection.

Can you achieve perfection at home? Let's check out the last answer.

John Milton wrote Paradise Lost.

You said that was true.

It is true.

You were one answer away from £11,000

-on a board that was seriously ugly.

-Stinky!

-A stinker of a board.

Usual suspects, fantastic news for you. The prize fund rolls over to the next game.

One of you could be playing for a total of £12,000.

-Good money, isn't it?

-Fantastic.

-Didn't she do well, though? Didn't she do well?

-Fair play.

-That was a nightmare of a board. Nightmare.

Mo, you failed to achieve perfection so you go home with nothing.

-Had a good time?

-A fantastic time. I've met some nice people. And you.

Very nice of you. Thank you. Let's hear it for Mo.

That's all we have time for. Join us next time

when our usual suspects have the chance to play for £12,000.

But five out of six just isn't good enough. On this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye!
