Episode 28 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

Our four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless because one mistake could give the game away.

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

Behind me are the contestants. We call them the Usual Suspects.

One will be randomly selected to join me here to play Perfection.

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

For example...

Would you say that's true or false? If you said true, I can tell you you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy, but get one wrong

and the Usual Suspects will be allowed into the game.

You know how the game works. Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

Hi, I'm Peter, a retired social worker from Birmingham. This is my first game.

Hi. I'm Gina, a mum and a jazz singer from Ipswich. It's my second game.

Hi. I'm Adam, a business development manager and this is my second game.

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

Welcome to you all. Best of luck as we find out which one of you is randomly picked.

Gina, it's you! Please come and play Perfection.

-Gina, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

-Mum and jazz singer.

-Yes.

-Do you want to give us a burst?

-I'm really shaking here!

-Are you nervous? It's a bit harsh of me to ask.

-Yes, it is.

It's like saying to me, "Ask me a question. Go on".

It's you versus the Usual Suspects. They're now your enemies.

Your failure would mean the prize money rolls over to the next game where one of them could be playing.

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

nobody's won the past 13 games, so the prize fund currently stands at £14,000.

Very nice.

-That's got to be worth singing for.

-Certainly is. Yes, good gig.

That would be a good gig. £14,000 - what would you spend it on?

-The majority would go towards my children.

-OK, here's how it works.

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

But if you're less than perfect, the Usual Suspects can step in and make it harder.

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now. Cheerio.

And away they go. You can now talk through your answers without giving anything away.

Each round has four True or False statements. You only have 45 seconds and once you've given your answers

-they are locked in. Ready?

-Yes.

-Shall we play?

-Yes.

-Good. Let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Actor Russell Crowe was born in New Zealand.

I can't remember, actually. I thought he was Australian.

-That's false.

-False.

Macaroni is a type of pasta.

-True.

-True.

Robin Cousins won an Olympic gold medal in 1980.

I can't remember if he was '80 or '84. I'm going to say false.

False. And, finally, Galway Bay is an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean.

Oh...geography(!)

-I'm going to say false.

-False. And with time to spare you've answered all four. How was that?

There's only two I think I'm sure of. The other two I'm not sure of.

Before we reveal how you've done, we bring back the Usual Suspects. These were the four statements

-and next to them are Gina's answers. Peter, has she achieved perfection?

-D is definitely wrong.

Galway Bay is... It faces the Atlantic.

-Adam?

-I'd agree with Peter. The Atlantic is west of Ireland.

I don't know Irish geography that well, but I'll go with Peter on it.

Lovely. Gina, the moment of truth. You need all four for the round. How many have you got correct?

-Oh! Is that all?

-Yes.

A long way from perfection. You've now let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

-Can you steal the round? You have to change three answers.

-B is obviously the correct one,

so we'll change A from false to true,

C from false to true and D from false to true, please.

Leaving B as answered by Gina.

Let's find out the correct answers. If it turns green, it's true. Red is false.

Actor Russell Crowe was born in New Zealand. True or false?

It is true. Macaroni is a type of pasta. True or false?

It IS true.

Robin Cousins won an Olympic gold medal in 1980. True or false?

Yep, that's true.

In the figure skating competition.

And Galway Bay is an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. True or false?

Yes, it's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. That's perfection.

-He's gone to sleep!

-I'm not at all surprised.

All right. Galway Bay is an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. Yes, it is, on the west side of Ireland.

Gina, they succeeded where you failed and stole the round.

You now have the opportunity to make Gina's chances much harder in the final. Here's how.

Gina, it's your final board. These must be filled with categories.

Behind each category will be a True or False statement. You need to answer all six to win the fund.

Here are your final round categories. Because the Usual Suspects stole the round,

they choose two categories.

Usual Suspects, which two would you like Gina to play?

Badgers?

What about Inventors? Yeah, I'll go for Inventors.

-Inventors goes across.

-And Badgers!

"Who invented the badger?"

-You're getting weirder by the moment!

-Thank you.

-Well done.

You won the first round. We'll see you in Round 2.

-Ready for the next round?

-I am.

-Good. Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

In The Jungle Book, Baloo is a bear.

-True.

-True. John F Kennedy's middle name was Franklin.

-False.

-False. Eve's Pudding is a dessert made with apples.

-True.

-True.

And Casablanca is a fictional city.

-False.

-False. And with two-thirds of your time left, you flew through that!

-Happy with that?

-Yes.

-A good round?

-Yes.

-Fantastic.

Before we reveal how good, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These are the four statements and next to them are Gina's answers.

-Adam, has she achieved perfection?

-I think three are definitely right.

Being an Adam, you'd think I'd have heard of Eve's Pudding, but I haven't!

-Bill, what do you think?

-I think she's performed perfection.

-Lovely.

Moment of truth. You need all four for the round. Let's see how many are correct.

-Easy when you know them!

-Congratulations. You achieved perfection. That's the way to play.

Let's look at those answers. Baloo is a bear. That's true, we know now.

John F Kennedy's middle name was Franklin. We know that to be false.

It was Fitzgerald, in actual fact.

Eve's Pudding is a dessert made with apples. Adam, maybe you'd like to try some Eve's Pudding now.

And Casablanca is a fictional city. That is, of course, false.

It's in Morocco. Let's see the final board.

Two subject categories chosen by the Usual Subjects.

You've earned the right to choose the next two. Which would you like?

-Em, TV Detectives.

-TV Detectives.

-I think I'll go for Pop Music.

-Pop Music?

-Yeah.

-Lovely. Usual Suspects,

I'll now switch you off and we'll see you in the next round. And away they go.

-Gina, well done. Ready to play?

-Yeah.

-OK. Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

A hectare is larger than an acre.

I can't remember, actually.

-True.

-True. Oliver Cromwell was a Member of Parliament.

-False.

-False.

-Dame Edna Everage is played by Barry Humphries.

-True.

-True.

And, finally, Lake Tahoe is one of the American Great Lakes.

-False.

-False. And with almost half your time to spare again, you've raced through.

-You don't hang around, do you?

-Well...

-It's very impressive.

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

So these are the four statements and next to them are Gina's answers.

-Bill, has she achieved perfection?

-In my opinion, no. I think one's wrong.

-Which one?

-I believe it's B, but I'll make an ass of myself by saying that now!

-Peter?

I think all four are correct. I think it's perfection again. Well done.

The moment of truth. You need to get all four. How many are correct?

Three out of the four is not perfection and that's what you need.

You've let the Usual Suspects in.

Can you steal the round? You need to change one. Which one?

-B, I think, for me.

-Yeah, must be B.

-So we'll change false to true, please, for B.

-B changes from false to true.

Leaves A, C and D as answered by Gina. Let's find out the answers.

A hectare is larger than an acre. Is that true or false?

It's true. A hectare is approximately two-and-a-half acres.

Oliver Cromwell was a Member of Parliament. True or false? True.

Dame Edna Everage is played by Barry Humphries. True or false?

True. And, finally,

Lake Tahoe is one of the American Great Lakes. True or false? False.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

Oh, you'll shake hands now!

Gina, they succeeded and have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Gina's chances of winning £14,000 a little harder.

Let's see the final board.

You've earned the right to choose the last two subject categories.

Which two would you like?

It's not going to be singers!

Cities? Or Periodic Table?

Cities and Periodic Table, yes.

-I'm outnumbered! Cities it is.

-Cities.

-And Periodic Table.

These two are very crafty!

We now know our six final categories.

OK, guys, time to switch you off for the final time. Away they go. They can't hear you now.

-What do you think?

-I don't mind. I've actually been practising my Periodic Table.

All right, Gina. £14,000. It's time to play the final.

Gina, this is the final. If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £14,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which is great for the Usual Suspects as it will roll over

to £15,000 on the next game. Let's play the final round.

Gina, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £14,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you give an answer, it's locked in. Are you ready?

-Mm-hm.

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

-Elisha Otis pioneered the development of the lift.

-True.

True.

Badgers do not eat meat.

I think they eat insects and small things. Do they eat meat?

I'm going to say...false.

-Is that right? They...?

-You've said false.

-All right.

-Oh...

-John Suchet plays the title role in Poirot.

-False.

-False.

Michael Jackson had 13 UK Top 40 hits in 2009.

I think I'm going to say it's false because he died, didn't he?

-Yeah, false.

-False.

Wells in Somerset is the UK's smallest city.

-I don't know. I'll say false on that.

-False.

And, finally, Periodic Table.

Marble is an element in the Periodic Table.

-False.

-False.

Gina, those answers are locked in.

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

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-Michael Jackson and Wells.

-Right. Let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Gina, your answers are locked in.

If you think you made a mistake, you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects - at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'll ask you how well you think Gina's done,

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

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

-So £14,000 is the current prize fund. Who would you like to hear from first?

-I'll start with Bill.

I'll come down for half the money.

I know you've definitely got one wrong.

And I'd want to have a little chat with you about another possible.

-OK. Adam?

-I'm sure on one, I'm unsure on two.

On the basis of Bill's offer, I'll count myself out.

Peter, can you help me?

Gina, I think you and me would make a great team, but I don't feel I've got anything to contribute,

I'm afraid.

-Do you still want to come down, Bill?

-Absolutely. You're gorgeous!

Please. I need your help.

-So you are accepting the offer?

-I am.

-OK, for £7,000 of the £14,000 on offer,

Bill, please come down and join us.

OK, Gina, you've asked Bill for help, but it will cost you £7,000 of your £14,000 prize fund.

Bill, you've forfeited your chance to play the next game. This is your only shot.

Have you made the right decision? Here are the final statements.

All six answers are now unlocked. Bill, which answers do you want Gina to change?

I would change B and I would change F.

Just them two?

-I'm not sure about Michael Jackson. You're the...

-Yeah, I know.

-So we're going to change the badgers one to...

-True.

-They do not eat meat?

-Yeah.

-They're carnivores.

-So that's going to true.

-And the marble one at the bottom?

-That really is aching in my heart. I'm not sure that's wrong.

-I would change it if I was choosing it.

-Right.

Gina, which ones will you change?

-I'm going to change the Michael Jackson one.

-D is changing...

-That's true.

-From false to true.

OK, you've changed D.

From false to true. Let's go through the others and tell me as we go through.

Elisha Otis pioneered the development of the lift. Do you want to keep it as true?

-What do you say?

-I'd keep that as true.

You think it's true. Badgers do not eat meat.

-You say that's false.

-Change that to true.

-You want to change that?

-Yes.

-OK.

-So change B from false to true.

-I'm not sure. I don't know why.

-That's the one I came down for.

-Right. Change that to true.

Changing B from false to true.

John Suchet plays the title role in Poirot. You currently say false. Do you want to change it to true?

-No.

-Keep that the same. You've changed D.

Wells in Somerset is the UK's smallest city. False. Change that?

-I'll keep it as false.

-Keep that.

-I'd keep it, yeah.

-Finally, marble is an element in the Periodic Table.

Currently, it's false. Change that to true?

Em...

Change it.

-All right. Change it to true.

-F changes to true.

OK, your answers are now locked in. £14,000 at stake - £7,000 to Gina and £7,000 to Bill.

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

If it turns green, it's true. Red is false.

Let's start at the top. Elisha Otis pioneered development of the lift.

You stuck with true. Is it true or false?

-It is true. A good start.

-APPLAUSE

So let's skip over B that you changed and go on. John Suchet plays the title role in Poirot.

Is that true or false? You said false, stuck with false.

We'd like this to turn red for you. True or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

His brother David Suchet plays Poirot.

We'll skip over the next one Wells is the UK's smallest city.

You said false and stuck with it.

Wells is the UK's smallest city. True or false?

-It is false.

-Oh!

It's St David's in Wales. Now onto the ones that you changed.

The first one was Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson had 13 UK Top 40 hits in 2009.

Is that true or false?

It's true!

APPLAUSE

So let's go back up to the top. Badgers do not eat meat. You said that was false.

-You changed it to true.

-I shouldn't have.

-True or false?

-It's false.

-I'm sorry.

-It's OK, it's OK.

They eat just about everything.

Perhaps you've achieved perfection at home. Marble is an element in the Periodic Table.

You said false originally, changed it to true. True or false?

-You are wrong. It is false.

-That's all right.

-It sort of is all right.

If you lose by one it's harder.

OK, well, you have not achieved perfection, as you realise.

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

and one of you could be playing for a total of £15,000.

Gina and Bill, you failed to achieve perfection and go home with nothing.

-I hope you enjoyed playing.

-Yeah.

-I'm a vegetarian from now on!

Congratulations anyway. You had a great game. Let's hear it for Bill and Gina.

-APPLAUSE

-I'm sorry.

-Don't...

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

Please introduce yourselves.

Hi, Nick. I'm Dee from Cannock and I'm a receptionist for a small firm of solicitors.

I'm Karl, I'm an actor from London.

OK, best of luck to all of you as one is randomly picked to play.

Karl, it is you! Come down and play Perfection.

Welcome to the game. Actors always have such good voices.

-We have highly-trained voices, yeah.

-How are you feeling? Excited? Nervous?

Yeah, pretty excited, but nervous. More nervous than going onstage.

-Really?

-Yeah, yeah.

-It would terrify me, trying to remember lines.

-No, it's kind of fun.

-You get used to it?

-Yeah.

Karl, it's you versus the Usual Suspects. They are your enemies.

Here's the good news.

As nobody has won the past 14 games, the prize fund currently stands at £15,000.

-That's a lot of money.

-A lot.

-What would you spend it on?

I've seen some really cool film equipment, so I'd love to just get a film camera,

a few grand, and hire some of my old actor pals to film and actually pay them

-so they can live and...

-That doesn't always happen, getting paid.

-Yeah!

Well, good luck on that. Three rounds and a final. Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now.

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

-You can now talk without giving anything away. Ready?

-Yep.

Then let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

In EastEnders, Sid Owen plays Ricky Butcher.

-True.

-True.

-Yeah.

-In Italy, Father Christmas is called Babbo Natale.

-I did study Italian for a bit, but I've never heard that, so I'm going to say false.

-False.

-Yeah.

-The Pangolin is a small monkey native to Japan.

Right....

Never heard of it, never been to Japan.

-I'm going to go true, actually.

-Running out of time.

-True.

-I, Claudius is a book by Anthony Burgess.

-False.

False. Just squeezed in. That's as close as we've got to running out of time.

You had me worried for a moment!

But you have answered all four statements. How was that for you? Started with an acting question!

I know. That was pretty lucky. I hope I got that right.

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

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

-Dee, has he achieved perfection?

-I think he has, definitely.

-Agree, Peter?

-I do, I'm afraid.

-Adam, what do you think?

-It looks like he has got them all right.

-Wow.

A big vote of confidence there. Karl, it's the moment of truth. You need to get all four.

Let's see how many are correct.

Just two of the four. Not what the Usual Suspects thought

and not quite perfection. So you've let in your enemies.

Can you steal the round? You need to change two answers.

-B and C.

-B and C.

-We know A and D are definitely...

-A is definitely right.

-And we think I, Claudius...

-Robert Graves.

-..is Robert Graves.

-We'd like to change B from false to true.

-Thank you.

-And C to false.

Leaving A and D as answered by Karl. Let's find out the correct answers.

In EastEnders, Sid Owen plays Ricky Butcher. Is that true or false?

It is true. In Italy, Father Christmas is called Babbo Natale.

Is that true or false? It is true.

The Pangolin is a small monkey native to Japan. True or false?

It is false. It's like an armadillo, that kind of animal.

I, Claudius is a book by Anthony Burgess. Is that true or false? False.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

And you're absolutely right. It was - is - by Robert Graves.

So, Karl, they succeeded and have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Karl's chances of winning much harder and here's how.

Karl, here is your final board.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories. Here are your categories.

They get to choose the two categories to make it harder for you to win.

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

-The Solar System?

-Shall we put Solar System in?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Solar System, please, Nick.

-Thank you. One more?

-Greek Myth.

-You agree, Dee?

-Yeah.

-And Greek Myth, please.

-Thank you. Well done.

You won the first round. It's time to switch you off and we'll see you in Round 2.

-Karl, which ones would you really like to avoid?

-Towers. That looks a bit ominous.

And I reckon Hobbies. I don't really do hobbies. I don't do collecting and stuff.

-You ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Lapland is part of Greenland.

-Er, that is...false.

-False.

A mornay sauce normally contains cheese.

-I think that's true.

-True.

Bob Monkhouse hosted Play Your Cards Right.

-False.

-False.

And, finally, osculation is another name for blinking.

-False.

-False.

And with time to spare, you've answered all four. How was that?

-It seemed a little less comfortable.

-The first one was OK, but I think...

-The rest were more of a mixed bag?

-Doubts kept creeping in.

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

Hello, Usual Suspects. These are the statements and Karl's answers.

-Peter, has he achieved perfection?

-I'm afraid he has, once again.

-Adam, has he achieved perfection?

-I think so, but I thought that last time, so hopefully I'm wrong again!

Karl, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?

Come on! APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Karl. Let's look through those answers.

"Lapland is part of Greenland." We obviously now know that that is false.

It's part of Norway, Sweden, Finland and just a part of Russia as well.

"A mornay sauce normally contains cheese." True or false? We now know that is true.

"Bob Monkhouse hosted Play Your Cards Right."

That is obviously false. Bruce Forsyth. It was Brucie.

And "osculation is another name for blinking".

That is, of course, false.

-Anybody know what it's the proper name for?

-Kissing.

-You're absolutely right. It is kissing.

OK. Right, well, Karl, as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund much easier. Let's see the final board.

On there already are two subjects chosen by the Usual Suspects,

but because you won the round, you choose the next two.

-Which two do you fancy in the final?

-It has to be James Bond.

-James Bond.

-And TV Comedy.

-Lovely.

I'll switch you off for now. See you in the next round. And away they go.

By choosing your own categories, you've made winning the final much easier.

-Ready to play the next round?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I think that's false.

-False.

-I think that's false.

-False.

-That's false.

-False.

-That's false.

-False.

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

You actually almost found some of those comical.

Well, I hope I'm right about langoustines or I'm going to look a bit of an idiot.

OK, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Adam, what do you think?

I think there might be a mistake in there this time.

Something about A and B suggests to me that they are both wrong.

Thank you. Dee, what do you think?

Um...I think B.

Other than that, I think he's OK. I think he's got the others correct.

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

Three out of the four just isn't good enough.

Karl, you have not achieved perfection. You've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change just one of Karl's answers.

-My hunch would be that B would be the one to change.

-Yeah, I'll go with that.

-Yeah.

OK, we'd like to change B from "false" to "true", please.

Thank you very much. Leaving A, C and D as Karl answered.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

"Jackanory is a nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll." Is that true or false?

It is false.

Jabberwocky is the nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll.

"Humans produce over 2 million red blood cells a day." True or false?

It's actually true. It may seem a lot, but it's true.

"In Taxi Driver, Robert De Niro plays Rupert Pupkin."

Is that true or false?

It's false.

-He plays Travis Bickle. Remember that one?

-Yeah, yeah.

And finally, "langoustines are small leeks". True or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Yes, they're small lobsters or large prawns.

The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and stolen the round.

You can now make Karl's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Let's see the final board.

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

Which two would you like Karl to play in the final?

-There's a few there. Towers?

-What about Hobbies?

-Hobbies...

-Too broad.

-Do you agree with Towers to start with?

-Yeah.

-We'll start with Towers, please, Nick.

-Thank you.

-And...?

-The last one?

-The Mind, I think.

-The Mind?

-I don't know.

What's it going to be, Adam?

-The Mind, Dee?

-Mm-hm.

-We'll go with The Mind.

Thank you. The Mind moves across. We now know our six final categories.

OK, guys, it's time to switch you off for the final time. And away they go.

It's almost like they were reading your mind. Towers was the one you said you didn't want.

-The Mind?

-I quite like psychology.

OK, Karl, for £15,000, it's time to play the final.

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

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £15,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing

which means one of the Usual Suspects could play for £16,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Karl, here are your six final categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £15,000. There is no time limit.

But once you've given your first answer, it's locked in. Ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me if you believe it's true or false.

Solar System...

"The Moon is just over a million miles from Earth."

I think that is false.

False.

Greek Myth...

"The Sphinx was killed by Heracles."

Right, OK. That is...

-False.

-False.

James Bond...

"Bob Holness once played James Bond on the radio."

It's a real 50/50, but I'm going to go with "false".

False.

TV Comedy...

"In Frasier, Frasier's brother is called Martin."

Right, I've watched that programme so many times.

That is definitely...

-False.

-False.

Towers...

"Blackpool Tower was built before the Eiffel Tower."

It's a real gamble, but I'm actually going to...

-No, I'm going to say "false". False.

-False.

And finally, The Mind.

"Lucian Freud was a famous psychoanalyst."

-False. Yeah.

-False.

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

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

You can now see the final six statements and next to them are Karl's answers.

If you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock the answers

with the help of the Usual Suspects, but this will come at a cost.

-You can't refer to any statement specifically. Karl, who would you like to hear from first?

-Dee.

Honey, I can see one that you're definitely wrong on.

But the others, I'm certainly not too sure on.

What does that mean? Are you coming down for some money?

I'll rule myself out at this stage.

Let's try Peter.

I think you've done very well indeed. There's one which I think is wrong.

I'm not sufficiently sure

to intervene, to come down, so I think I'll stay out, if I may.

Adam?

Sorry, Karl, but similarly, there's one I know you're definitely wrong on.

But the others, I'm just not sure enough to commit myself to come down,

so I'll have to rule myself out.

There is one in my head which is sticking out that's wrong, so I'd be willing to give half.

I'm very, very tempted, but I just...

-How about 9,000 then?

-Go on then. I'll come down for 9,000.

-Cool.

So negotiations have been agreed.

Adam, for 9,000 of the 15,000 prize fund, please come down and join us.

Karl, you've asked Adam for help.

If you achieve perfection, it will cost you £9,000 of your potential prize fund of £15,000.

Adam, you have forfeited your chance to play in the next game. This is your only shot.

Have you made the right decision? Here are the final round statements.

Adam, which answers do you want Karl to change?

-C is definitely wrong. Bob Holness did play James Bond on the radio.

-All right.

-What about the Moon?

-The Moon...

-I thought it was less than a million.

People have been to the Moon, so I think a million miles is too far.

-The Sphinx, I've got no idea.

-That's Oedipus who did that, so that's definitely right.

Frasier is definitely right and Sigmund Freud was the psychoanalyst.

-E, are you...?

-"Blackpool Tower was built before the Eiffel Tower..."

-I'm pretty sure the Eiffel Tower was the 1800s.

-Yeah.

And Blackpool Tower I'd have thought was post-1900, so I think...

-My hunch is that that's right, so C is the only one that needs to change.

-All right.

-OK, do you want to make any changes?

-Yes. I would like to change C to "true".

You're changing C from "false" to "true".

Let's look at the rest of the board then.

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

Let's start at the top. "The Moon is just over a million miles from Earth." Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

-Approximately 237,000 miles from Earth, in actual fact.

-Phew!

So, "the Sphinx was killed by Heracles".

-You think the Sphinx was killed by...?

-Oedipus.

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

-It is false.

-APPLAUSE

And it was Oedipus. Absolutely right.

Next, "Bob Holness once played James Bond on the radio." This is the one you changed.

We'll skip that one for the moment and move on.

"In Frasier, Frasier's brother is called Martin."

You said this was false. Is it true or false?

-APPLAUSE

-It is false. Martin is the father and Niles is the brother.

So, "Blackpool Tower was built before the Eiffel Tower".

-This was the other one that you thought about changing, then didn't.

-Yeah.

So we'll skip that one too.

"Lucian Freud was a famous psychoanalyst."

You said "false".

Is that true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

He's a painter and his grandfather was Sigmund Freud who was the psychoanalyst.

Let's go back to C. "Bob Holness once played James Bond on the radio."

It's the one Adam changed for you.

"Bob Holness once played James Bond on the radio." Is that true or false?

-It's true.

-APPLAUSE

In South Africa in the late 1950s.

This is really interesting. If you hadn't had Adam come and join you, you wouldn't have won the money.

"Blackpool Tower was built before the Eiffel Tower." You said "false".

You thought about it long and hard and eventually stuck with "false".

Have you made the right decision?

You need this to turn red.

"Blackpool Tower was built before the Eiffel Tower."

Is that true or false for £15,000?

-Yes!

-Yes!

-APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Karl. Congratulations, Adam.

You have achieved perfection.

You have won £15,000 by getting all six statements correct.

-How are you feeling?

-Over the moon.

-I'm glad I offered that extra grand and a half.

So many people have come down and failed to make a difference.

-You wouldn't have done it without Adam.

-No.

Well done. Congratulations. Unfortunately, Usual Suspects, the prize fund has been won,

so we reset the total back to £1,000 in our next game.

-You're disappointed, but they did well.

-Definitely. That's the one I would have changed. Never mind.

Congratulations. Karl and Adam, you have achieved perfection. Ladies and gentlemen, Karl and Adam!

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for. Join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again,

this time for £1,000.

Remember, on this show, as we've seen, we will pay for perfection. Goodbye.
