Episode 27 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz that demands nothing less than perfection.

Four contestants are hoping their knowledge is flawless

because one mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to the quiz show

where only perfect play is good enough.

In our isolation room are the contestants, we call them the Usual Suspects.

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

They will then face a series of true of false statements.

For example, if I said Cox's Orange Pippin is a type of apple,

would you say that's true or false?

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

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if they get it 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.

Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm an accounts manager.

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

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

and this is my second game.

Hi, my name is Linda. I'm a customer assistant.

I'm from Manchester and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a London taxi driver.

I come from Enfield in London and this is my third game.

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

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

Andrea it is you. Please come down and play Perfection.

-Andrea, welcome.

-Thank you.

-An administrator, so you look after wages?

-Mainly accounts.

I send invoices out and pay all the bills.

-So people aren't getting paid whilst you are here?

-They're not, no.

-Any hobbies?

-Football. I like my football. I work in hospitality at Middlesbrough Football Club

-as well play...

-How long have you done that?

-24 years.

-Wow! You see them come and go then.

-Ups and downs.

-Especially managers.

-Certainly.

-You've got a revolving door at Middlesbrough, haven't you?

All right, Andrea, it's you versus the Usual Suspects.

They are now your enemies. Their job is to stop you

from winning the prize fund because the prize money then rolls over to the next game

when one of them could be playing for a much bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the fantastic news for you - nobody has won the past 11 games,

so the prize fund currently stands at

-£12,000!

-APPLAUSE

What would you spend it on if you won it?

Previous to me getting this job, I was out of work for five months

so that would help me a bit with the finances.

-Bills at the moment, that's the main thing.

-Yes.

And home improvements. I could do with a new boiler.

-There's some very good ones about at the moment.

-LAUGHTER

I'll recommend some for you afterwards. All right, here's how the game works.

You'll play three rounds and then a final.

Every round you achieve perfection will make the final easier.

If your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects could steal the round, making the final harder.

More of that later. Usual Suspects,

we are going to switch you off for now so you can't see or hear anything. Cheerio.

And away they go.

-Andrea, you can now talk through your answers without giving away any knowledge.

-Thank you.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You only have 45 seconds and once you've given your first answer,

they will be locked in. Are you ready?

I am. Yes, thank you.

Good, then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One, your 45 seconds starts now.

I think that's true. Yes, true.

True.

I know it's Canada's national sport.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

Um...

-I don't know. I'll say true.

-True.

With a few seconds to spare,

you have answered all four statements.

How did that feel? Was it a decent round?

I know C is right, I think.

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 Andrea's answers.

Linda, has she achieved perfection?

-I think one may be wrong.

-Which one?

I think D, but it's only a guess.

-I've never really heard of Tom Waits or the Velvet Underground.

-All right,

Andrea, you need to have answered all four perfectly to have won.

Let's see how many you got correct.

Oh!

You have not achieved perfection

so you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Andrea's answers.

You need to change three of them. Which three?

I'm sure I've read somewhere that

-lacrosse was India.

-OK.

-I would agree that it's false

that Charles II was Bonnie Prince Charlie

so I'd change the other three, personally.

Which one are we keeping?

As the longest serving member of the Usual Suspects, Bill,

you are captain, so if there is a dispute it comes down to you.

Well, as the captain, I would like to change true to false on A.

You would like to change A, true to false.

C from false to true.

C from false to true.

And D from true to false.

D from true to false,

leaving B as answered by Andrea.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

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

Sherlock Holmes has an older brother called Milo. Is that true or false?

It is false.

He does have a brother called Mycroft.

The game lacrosse was invented in India. Is that true of false?

-Sorry.

-It's false.

It's actually Native American Indians.

Anyway, can you still achieve perfection at home? Let's press on and find out shall we?

Charles II was known as Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

Charles II was the great uncle of Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Tom Waits was a member of the Velvet Underground.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

And Tom Waits has always been a solo artist.

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

make Andrea's chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final

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

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

Behind each category is a true or false statement.

You must answer correctly all six to win the prize fund.

Here are the final round categories, ranging from

London, television, action films and transport

and several others in between.

Had you achieved perfection, you could now add two categories of your choice to the board

but because neither side won, the two categories

that were 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.

Andrea, what do you really want to avoid?

Ohh... Nuclear power.

Scientists. Musical terms.

-You ready for the next round?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

I don't think it's the goldcrest, I think it's...another bird,

so I'll say false.

False.

-True.

-True.

-Em, no, that's false.

-False.

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

You seemed very pleased to get a football question!

I did. Thank you very much.

-You were very sure of that one.

-Yes, he did play for Everton,

-Tottenham, Leicester City, Barcelona...

-Is this because he visited...?

-..Grampus Eight.

Wow, you really know your football, don't you?

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

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Has she achieved perfection?

I don't think she has this time,

but I'm not too sure,

but I think she may have C wrong.

OK. Andrea, the moment of truth,

let's find out how many are correct.

Close but not close enough. You need to achieve

perfection to win the round and you failed to do that, letting the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change one answer. Which one?

I can't remember Gary Lineker

-playing for Everton.

-Yeah, we'll have faith in our team member then,

so we'll change C from true to false.

C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and D

as answered by Andrea.

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

The Parthenon was built to honour the god Zeus. Is that true or false?

It's false.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects, you had the chance

to steal the round from Andrea, but you failed to achieve perfection.

It was actually built in honour of Athena.

Can you still achieve perfection at home?

Let's run through the answers and see, shall we?

The goldcrest is the smallest bird in the world. True or false?

Yes, it is false.

It is the bee hummingbird that's actually the smallest.

Gary Lineker used to play for Everton. True or false?

Yeah, true I'm afraid.

'85/'86 season.

Heathrow and Gatwick are less than ten miles apart. True or false?

It is false.

About 25 miles apart. OK, let's have a look at the board.

And it's interesting because it's still blank, Andrea,

because neither side won the round.

The four categories that were due to be chosen will now be carried over to the next round

meaning six categories will be on offer in round three.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off for now.

Cheerio. And away they go.

Can you believe they questioned your football knowledge?

-Questioned my football knowledge. How dare they?!

-Ready to play the next round?

-I am, thank you.

-It's a big one, it's important. Let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

We just get tea bags now, so I don't have leaves.

I would say false because I don't know.

False.

-No, I believe that's Billy The Fish, so that's false.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-That's true.

-True.

With plenty of time to spare,

you've answered all four. What do you reckon?

I just haven't got a clue on the first one.

Well, before we reveal

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

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Andrea's answers.

Bill, has she achieved perfection?

I'd like to claim the Fifth Amendment on that one.

I'm sorry to say I don't know.

Dafydd, what do you think?

She's definitely got two right.

But you're not sure whether the other two are?

I wouldn't know about the other two.

Andrea, the moment of truth, did you pull it off?

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

Let's see how many are correct.

You failed to achieve perfection

and have let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

There are SIX categories on offer. Basically, the whole final for Andrea is going to be decided here.

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

But which one?

I'd keep C and D the same,

-they are fine.

-OK.

I used to read Viz. I can't remember that character,

but they did have funny names.

-I think we should change A.

-OK, so we'll change A from false to true.

A changes from false to true,

leaving B, C and D

as Andrea first answered.

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

This first one is the big deal, isn't it?

This one will pretty much decide it.

Tasseography is another name for tea-leaf reading.

Is that true or false?

It's true,

so you know how the rest of these will go don't you, Usual Suspects?

Mardy Fish is a character in Viz magazine. True or False?

Yeah, it's false. Mardy Fish is in fact...

a professional tennis player.

-Billy the Fish is a character in Viz magazine.

-Yes, that's it.

Contact lenses were invented by Adolph Lens. Is that true or false?

It is false, although interestingly the inventors name was Adolph.

Adolph Fick. OK.

And finally, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a book by Ian Fleming.

Is it true or false? We now know it is absolutely true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

of wining the prize fund just about as hard as is possible to do.

Let's take a look at the final board.

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

all six categories to add to the board. Two from the first round,

two from the second round and two from the round we've just played.

Which six categories would you like Andrea to play in the final?

-I want to give her nuclear power.

-Yeah? Nuclear power.

-Yeah, nuclear power.

Nuclear power is the first.

-And?

-Shall we go for musical terms?

-Yeah, go on then -

musical terms. Yeah.

-Action films?

-Action films.

Action films. Thank you.

-Three more.

-Celtic dance.

Celtic dance, thank you. We've got two more to get through.

-Scientists.

-Yeah, scientists and...

-Scientists and the final one?

-Transport, please.

Transport becomes the sixth one.

We now know our final six categories.

They are nuclear power, musical terms, action films,

Celtic dance, scientists and transport.

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

-Erm, phew! What do you reckon?

-LAUGHTER

-Can you do it?

-We're going to give it a good go.

-Course you can. Course you can.

-Course she can.

Andrea, for £12,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Andrea, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection,

-you could be leaving with a prize fund of £12,000.

-Wow.

-I know, it's good isn't it?

-Wow, yeah.

-Mind you, if you fail you'll leave with nothing.

-Nothing, yeah.

-Not so good.

But it will be great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £13,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

to win the £12,000. Think carefully.

No time limit, but once you give your first answer, it's locked in. Are you ready?

-I am, thank you.

-Here comes your first statement. Please tell me whether you believe it

to be true or false.

Nuclear power.

That's false. It's in Cumbria and it wasn't known as Dounreay, no.

-That's false.

-False.

-Definitely false.

Musical terms.

No, I think that means...

a build-up of...volume, I think,

so I will say that is false.

False. Action films.

I think he did a lot of these,

so I think that is true, please.

True. Celtic dance.

Well, he'd be silly really if he didn't get his legs insured.

Em... Oh, dear.

I'm going to say true.

-True.

-Yes.

-Scientists.

I didn't know that she had a daughter.

I know SHE won a Nobel Prize.

Em, so I will say that that is false.

-False.

-Yes.

And finally, transport.

Thurso.

Em...

I'd say that's false. I don't recognise the name

-or anything so I'll say it's false, please, yeah.

-False.

Andrea, those answers are locked in.

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

Which ones are bothering you?

The Michael Flatley one, to be honest, and the train station.

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 next to them are Andrea's answers.

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

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

This will, however, come at a cost. Usual Suspects,

I'm now going to ask you to tell me how well you think Andrea has done,

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

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

Who would you like to hear from first?

We'll go in order of seniority, age-wise as well - Bill.

-Ooh!

-LAUGHTER

-Sorry.

-Right. You've definitely got one wrong there.

Come back to me after you've chatted with the others.

-Interesting.

-Right. Thank you.

-Linda?

-There's two I think you may have got wrong, but I'm not willing to come down.

-Why not?

-Because I'm not too sure on the two you may have got wrong.

-All right. OK.

-Dafydd?

I think you're doing really well. How confident are you on that board?

I'm confident on about four of them.

-What do you think then, Dafydd?

-I'm confident with five of them.

If you want... I won't be greedy, but I'll offer you half

and maybe we can chat and work through them.

OK. Bill?

Mine is the same offer, but your choice - beauty or the beast?

LAUGHTER

OK, so they're both offering to take £6,000 of the £12,000, go 50/50 with you

to come down and help you through.

I'm happy to go 50/50

and no disrespect to Dafydd, it's just I know Bill a bit better,

so sorry, Dafydd...

-What if I was to undercut him?

-Well, come back, you tell me.

Em, you can have an extra £1,000.

So now he's asking for £5,000.

-Right.

-Leaving you...

-Right.

-Bill?

-With 7,000.

-No?

That's very sneaky of that man.

Very sneaky.

Take his money.

-I'm going to drop out.

-OK.

-You are dropping out?

-Yes.

-Dafydd, would you help me?

-Yes, please.

-Thank you very much.

OK, Dafydd, negotiations have been agreed.

Dafydd, for £5,000 of the £12,000, please come and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Andrea, you have asked Dafydd for help

or, more accurately, you accepted his cut-price offer over Bill's.

If you achieve perfection, it will cost you £5,000

of your potential prize fund of £12,000.

Dafydd, you have forfeited your chance to play in the next game.

This is your only shot of winning Perfection.

-Was it the right decision?

-I hope so.

We are about to find out. Here are the final round statements.

All six answers are now unlocked.

Dafydd, which answers

do you want Andrea to change?

OK. Well, what I can do

-is confirm for you, crescendo, you got right.

-Good.

C, Jurassic Park, you got that right.

-Yeah.

-Marie Curie, E,

I'm pretty confident you've got that right.

-Yeah.

-And F, I'm pretty confident you've got right.

-Yeah.

-So...

-I definitely know Sellafield

wasn't Dounreay, Dounreay is somewhere else.

-That one's right.

-In that case, it's Michael Flatley.

It's just Michael Flatley.

It sounds like the kind of thing he might do.

-Andrea, this is still your decision.

-Yeah.

You don't have to listen to Dafydd's advice, but the board is now unlocked

so you can change any or all of your answers.

So do you want to make any changes?

I think I will change D

because I wasn't particularly happy with the figure.

So, yes, I will change D from true to false, please.

D changes from true to false.

Anything else?

No. just leave the rest.

OK, all the rest remain the same, please.

Your answers are now locked in.

£12,000 at stake - £7,000 to Andrea, £5,000 to Dafydd - six answers away.

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

Let's start at the top and make our way down.

Sellafield was formerly known as Dounreay.

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

Is it true or false?

It is false. Good start.

-Sellafield was known as Windscale.

-Windscale, yeah.

Crescendo means gradually getting slower.

You said false, you thought it meant gradually getting louder.

Dafydd agreed and so you stuck with false.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

Gradually getting louder.

So...

You said true, Dafydd agreed.

Jurassic Park II was directed by Steven Speilberg,

is that true or false?

It's true.

You're half way to £12,000.

So we come to the interesting,

Michael Flatley's legs were insured for 40 million.

If it turns red

you're just two away from the money.

Is that true or false?

It's true.

Andrea, Dafydd, I'm afraid that means you didn't manage to

achieve perfection and you haven't won the money.

I wonder whether you've managed to achieve perfection at home.

Let's take a look. Marie Curie's daughter won a Nobel Prize.

Ian, you said false, you agreed false, Dafydd.

Is that true or false?

We need this to turn red.

-Oh.

-So you got that wrong as well. It's true.

OK, so let's go to the last one.

You both believed that to be false.

Is it true or false?

-It's true.

-That's true as well.

-There you go then.

-Oh, well, that's fine.

Usual Suspects, that's fantastic news for you,

the prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing.

-Bill, if you'd come down you would have been out the door with no cash.

-Thank you.

-You should be very pleased that Dafydd undercut you.

-You're welcome, Bill.

-Could I have been bluffing?

-Ming the merciless.

-Yeah.

-He does look like that!

Anyway, next time you could be playing for a total of £13,000.

-That got to sound good!

-Very good.

-Yeah.

It was a brave effort but you failed to achieve perfection which means

-you go home with nothing. Enjoyed yourselves?

-Lovely. I've enjoyed every minute.

-Thank you very much for playing. Dafydd and Andrea everybody.

-APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspects

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, I'm Gina, I'm a mum and a jazz singer and I'm from Ipswich.

Hi, I'm Adam, I'm a business development manager for

a frozen yoghurt company and I'm from Leigh on Sea.

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

-Oh.

-Linda, it's you that's been chosen.

Please come and play Perfection.

Linda, welcome to the game.

-Do you think they'll be nice to you, that lot up there?

-No, I don't think so.

-No.

-No. Especially Bill.

-Yes.

Linda, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects as you're well aware.

They were your team mates, they are now your enemies.

Here's the good news, as nobody has won the past 12 games,

the prize fund currently stands at £13,000.

That's a very large sum of money, what would you spend it on if you won it?

Well, I've had a provisional licence since I was 17

so if I win any money I want to go on one of these crash courses.

-That's probably not the ideal way to explain what they are.

-Well, a crash course and...

-Have you taken tests?

-Oh, yeah, yeah, just the three.

-LAUGHTER

-Just the three.

OK. Well, look, good luck. If you do win and take your test, let me know what part

-of the country you'll be driving around!

-Manchester.

Thank you, I'll try to avoid it. OK! Three rounds and a final. Usual Suspects,

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

As soon as Linda makes a mistake you'll be back in the game.

-Cheerio. And away they go. Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Good, then let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Round one, your 45 seconds starts now.

-I'm not too sure but I'll go false.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-Not too sure but I'll go false.

-False.

And with just a few seconds left to spare

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

-Obnoxious.

-No, you didn't like it.

-No.

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

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

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them are Linda's answers.

-Gina, has she achieved perfection?

-No, she hasn't.

-What's wrong?

C, and I'm a bit iffy about D.

OK. Linda, let's find out how many you got correct.

Linda, you've failed to achieve perfection which means

you've let your enemies into the game.

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

-you need to change just one of them.

-I think it's C.

-He was in the Magnificent Seven, wasn't he?

-Magnificent Seven, yeah.

-So, yes...

-So we'd like to change C from true to false, please.

C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and D as Linda answered.

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

Absolute zero is zero degrees Fahrenheit. True or false?

It is false.

It's actually 0 degrees Kelvin and minus 273 Celsius.

The Tudors ruled England before the Stuarts.

True or false?

True.

Steve McQueen played one of the Dirty Dozen.

This is the key one. Is it true or false?

It's false.

He was in the Magnificent Seven.

And Dartmouth is the oldest university in the USA.

True or false?

It is false.

Congratulations Usual Suspects, you've achieved perfection.

Harvard is the oldest university in the USA.

Linda, appearing is your final board.

The six blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your final round categories,

starting with heraldry, running through Irish history,

classical music, clothing, and several others.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round they choose

the categories hoping to make it that much harder for you to win.

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

-Heraldry, please.

-Heraldry goes across. And?

-And the Grand National.

The Grand National. Thank you very much.

Usual Suspects, you've won the first round.

Time to switch you off, we'll see you in round two.

-What do you make of the first two choices?

-They are all terrible.

-They're all terrible?

-Yeah.

-You're a bit of a cup half empty person.

-No, I'm not really.

-You're not?

-No.

-OK, Linda, ready for the next one?

-I am, yeah.

OK, let's play round two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False. You have to press on quickly now.

-False.

-False.

-I'll go for true.

-True.

-I'll say true.

-True.

-Yes.

And with just a couple of seconds left you've answered all four statements.

You had me really worried with the time you spent over the first one.

Hard again, them. I mean I do read a lot and that's what it's all about but some of them things.

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

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

-Bill?

-I'm going for perfection.

Thank you, Bill(!) Linda, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

So you failed to achieve perfection and let in the Usual Suspects.

Can you steal the round? Usual Suspects, you can see Linda's answers,

you need to change just one of them. Which one?

-Holden Caulfield, you think?

-Yes, the good ship Bill says

we're going to change D from true to false.

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

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

Elvis Presley never came to the UK.

Is that true or false?

It is false. He actually stopped in at Preswick airport once.

The Panama Canal is under 20 miles long. True or false?

It is false.

It is about 50 miles long. The 49ers were early Californian gold miners.

True or false?

Yes, true. And Holden Caulfield is a character in Catch 22.

So you know what's going to happen here. True or false?

False. Congratulations Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

He's the main character in Catcher In The Rye. Let's see the final board.

Two subjects already on there chosen by you, the Usual Suspects.

Because you won the round you can choose the next two categories to add to the board.

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

-Golf.

-Thank you very much.

And what would you like as your second one?

-I think either volcanoes or Irish history but...

-Irish history.

-Irish history.

-Thank you. Irish history goes across.

Congratulations, you won the second round,

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

And away they go.

Linda, I could see by your face... , I'm not choosing them, don't look at me like that!

It's going from bad to worse.

-At the end of the day I could just guess them all right.

-You could.

-Ready?

-Yeah.

-OK, let's play round three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Well, I know she is from New Zealand but whether she's famous enough

to go on the note. I'll say true.

True.

-I'll say true.

-True.

-False.

-False. And finally...

-True.

-True.

-How do you think you've done?

-I was thinking Prince Charles is older than me

and I was thinking when I was born so that's what you have to think

sometimes and when you're sat here

your brain doesn't function properly. You know that don't you?

-I do.

-You know that.

-I do. It's the pressure, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Rarely functions and functioning less by the second.

-Yeah!

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

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

-Adam?

-I thought Rachel Hunter was Australian but I might be wrong.

But also Kirsch, sparks a memory it's made from cherries not blackcurrants.

OK, the moment of truth, you need to have answered

all four statements perfectly to win.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two of the four, Linda. Once again you didn't manage perfection

and as a result you've let in your enemies, the Usual Suspects.

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

-Which two?

-I think we go for the A and B.

-A and B, yeah.

Yes, the good ship Bill says change A from true to false.

A from true to false.

And B from true to false.

And B from true to false. Leaving C and D as answered by Linda.

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

Model Rachel Hunter is on the New Zealand 5 note. True or false?

It is false. Sir Edmund Hilary is actually on the 5 note.

The spirit Kirsch is distilled from blackcurrants. True or false?

It is false. It's made from cherries.

The Elgin Marbles are from the Colosseum in Rome. True or false?

False. They are from the Acropolis in Athens.

Finally, Prince Charles was born in the 1940s. Is that true or false?

It is true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

He was in fact born in 1948.

Let's see the final board.

Four categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects

and because you won the round, you can choose the last two categories as well

to add to the board. So which two would you like Linda to play in the final?

-I think we'll have US presidents.

-Yeah.

-US presidents.

-US presidents goes across.

-And what should we go for the last spiteful one?

Classical music can be hard if you're not into it.

-Classical music, please.

-Thank you very much.

We now know our six final categories. They are...

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

-What do you think?

-Heraldry.

-I know.

-Who talks about that these days?

-Well, we're going to but...

-The Grand National I only know about Red Rum.

-Golf, I hate it.

-Oh, I'm not into it.

Irish history, I've been to Dublin and that's all about being round the shops.

-But there is £13,000.

-I know.

-Even, you know, a 50/50 chance on each question.

-I know.

-Go on, let's have a go!

-We'll have a go, yeah.

-Can you hang around that long?

Just about. My train might be going in the next hour but I'll wait.

All right, thank you. Linda, for £13,000 it's time to play the final.

Linda, this is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection you could leave with a prize fund of £13,000.

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 £14,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Linda, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win £13,000.

There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer,

-your first answer will be locked in. Are you ready?

-Yeah, fine.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

I will say false for that one.

False. The Grand National...

I do watch it because I have a little flutter on it.

Becher's Brook.

I'll say true.

True. Golf...

Three shots over par.

Oh, I'll say false.

False. Irish history...

Colcannon, I thought that was mash and sausages.

I'll say false.

False. US presidents...

Right, I remember reading about this.

Beyonce. I'll say true.

True. And finally, classical music...

It's a guess and I'll just say true.

True.

Those answers are locked in. If there's a single mistake

you leave with nothing. How did you feel about that in the end?

Well, just take it as it comes. You never know, I might be lucky

-and get them all right.

-You never know.

-No.

-Could happen.

-Yeah.

-All right, let's being back the Usual Suspects and see what they have to say.

-Right.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Linda's answers.

Your answers are locked in, you can't change them,

but if you think you've made a mistake you can unlock them

with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will, however, come at a cost.

You can't refer to any of the statements

specifically everybody. Linda, who would you like to hear from first?

Well, seeing he's the most gorgeous man I've ever seen on screen, I'll ask Bill first, please.

What can I say? Um, Linda, I want you to win it

but I can't help you win it.

You know, I'm sorry to say I'm going to have to jump out of this one

because I'm guessing on too many, I really am,

-and it's not fair to you on that.

-OK, thanks for being honest anyway.

-Gina, please.

-I don't know if I can help you either. There's a couple that I'm not sure of.

-I don't think I'll be able to come down.

-Not for any amount of money?

-No, cos I'm not sure of the rest.

-Well, you picked the questions!

-I know, I'm so sorry. They're awful, aren't they?

-Yeah.

OK, Adam, last chance now.

Yeah, there's three that I'm pretty sure that you've got right.

There's one that I'm kind of 70% certain you've got wrong

but the other two I'm so unsure about if I'm honest with myself

I think I'd rather wait for my own chance to get the money.

So you won't come down for any price.

It would end up being nothing because there's two I just don't know about.

OK, so nobody will come down for any amount of money at all?

Not from me Linda, but it doesn't mean that we're right.

You could be 100% right so believe in yourself

and let's hope for the best.

She's always taken a positive attitude throughout the competition(!)

-Of course.

-Yeah. Well, I think negotiations are over.

-Yeah, OK.

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help

-so you are on your own.

-Yeah.

-£13,000 at stake, six answers away and a train to catch.

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

Let's start at the top. Sable is the heraldic name for the colour blue.

You said false. We need this to turn red.

If it turns green of course that's it, it's over straight away.

Is it true or false?

There you go.

Sable's black.

Right, so Becher's Brook is the highest fence at Aintree.

You said that was true.

If it turns green you're going on towards the money,

-if it turns red I'm afraid you're going home with nothing.

-Yeah.

Becher's Brook is the highest fence at Aintree. Is that true or false?

Oh. I had a feeling it wasn't.

I'm afraid it is false. It's the chair that is the largest fence there.

Yeah, I couldn't think of the name. So, yeah.

You might have achieved perfection at home so let's find out for you,

but also let's see how many, let's see if you got 50/50...

-how well you did.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

An albatross is a score of three shots over par.

You said that's false.

Is it true or false?

It is false. You're right. It's three shots under par.

-Yeah.

-All Irish kings were crowned on the hill Colcannon.

You said that was false because you thought it was a sort of mash.

-Well, it is, it's a sausage and mash thing.

-Yeah. So it should be false.

Is it true or false?

It is false, you'e absolutely right.

-It's potato and cabbage actually.

-Oh, is it?

-Yeah but...

-Near enough.

-Yeah, you were right about the mash.

Beyonce sang at Barack Obama's inauguration ball.

You said that was true.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

Haydn only composed six symphonies.

You said true. Is that true or false?

-No, that one is false I'm afraid.

-Yeah, OK.

-He wrote over 100.

-Did he?

-Yeah.

-Oh, right.

-Very, very busy.

-I shall have to go and buy his CD tomorrow and...

-I'm sure he'd be very pleased.

LAUGHTER

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

where one of you could be playing for a total of £14,000.

-Happy with that?

-Oh, yes.

-I thought so.

I'm afraid, Linda, you failed to achieve perfection which means

-you go home with nothing.

-OK.

-But you had fun.

-Yes. Really enjoyed myself.

-Good. Linda, ladies and gentlemen.

-APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for.

Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again, this time for £14,000.

But remember, on this show,

we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.

You can catch your train if you're quick.
