Episode 5 Perfection

Welcome to the show.

Four contestants will be hoping their knowledge is flawless,

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

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

The contestants - we call them the Usual Suspects.

They're in our isolation room.

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

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

For example, if I said,

"Taurus is the star sign of somebody born on May 6th,"

would you say that's true or false?

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

It might seem easy, but if the contestant gets

a single answer wrong,

their opponents, the Usual Suspects, will be allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

So you know how the game works.

Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

I'm Charles. I'm an author from London and this is my first game.

I'm Corrine, I work in marketing and I come from York,

-This is my second game.

Hello, I'm Nick.

I'm from Nottingham, I'm a trainee teacher and this is my third game.

Hello, my name's Danny. I'm from Essex.

I'm a London cab driver, and this is my sixth game.

Welcome to you all, especially Charles. An author...

-factual books, novels?

-Both.

The novel hasn't been published yet.

Go for it, man, go for it.

Great to get an advert in early. Nice one, Charles. Thank you.

Best of luck as we now find out which one of you

will be randomly picked to play Perfection.

Charles, it's you.

Please come and play Perfection.

Charles, welcome to the show. I'm fascinated by this thing about being a novelist.

They say everyone's got a good book in them but you've written

-for a publisher.

-That's right.

-What's the theme?

-It's about people trafficking and political corruption.

-Wow!

-Very topical.

Perhaps that will help you during the the game.

Charles, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your teammates, now they're your enemies.

They must stop you winning the prize fund.

The fund rolls over into the next game, when one of them could be playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Nobody's won for the past two games, so the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

What would you spend it on?

I think at the moment it would be putting up shelves for my books.

They're covering the dining-room table, sending my wife mad.

I'm tripping over them on the stairs, so they're a physical hazard,

and I want to turn them into a mental one instead...

-a real challenge to read.

-OK, here's how the game works.

You'll play three rounds and then a final.

If your performance is less than perfect,

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

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you

off for now, so you can't see or hear anything. And away they go.

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

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll only have 45 seconds, and once you've given your answers, they'll be locked in.

-First answer every time, yes?

-Yeah.

-Ready?

-Uh-huh.

Good. Let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Cosa Nostra is a traditional Italian dessert.

-False.

-False.

Shane Warne is cricket's leading Test wicket taker.

-False.

-False.

Both London and New York have areas called Soho.

-True.

-True you're saying.

David Cameron plays bagpipes to a high standard.

-False.

-False.

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

-A good round for you?

-Good-ish. I'm not sure about B.

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

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

Danny, how's he done?

I think B may be wrong.

Well, Charles, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Charles.

You've achieved perfection.

Cosa Nostra is a traditional Italian dessert. You said false.

It is of course false. It isn't a dessert at all.

It's another name for the Mafia, meaning...

Our thing.

Our thing, exactly right.

Shane Warne is cricket's leading Test wicket taker.

You said false. It is of course.

It is Muralitharan who is the leading Test wicket taker.

A Sri Lankan.

Both London and New York have areas called Soho.

You said that's true and it is of course absolutely true.

And David Cameron plays bagpipes to a high standard.

You said that's false.

It is of course false.

Although he did once hurt his ankle whilst dancing to the bagpipes.

Bad luck, Usual Suspects. He's done very well there, hasn't he?

-Yes, indeed.

-You guys might be up against it.

Yes, I think we probably are.

As a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier, and here's how.

This is your final board.

These six blank spaces will need to be filled with subject categories,

and behind each will be a true or false statement.

You'll need to answer all six correctly to win the prize fund.

Here are your final-round categories, ranging through

Olympics, albums, biographies and so on.

You've earned the right to choose two categories to add to the board.

If the Usual Suspects had won the round, then they'd be adding two categories.

So, as it's your choice, which two would you like to play in the final?

-Biographies, I think.

-Biographies goes across.

Um, strikes...

Industrial strikes, I suppose.

I think I'll go for wars

and hope that it's confined to the Earth as opposed to outer space which I'm not so good on.

Wars goes across and becomes the second of the six final categories.

Usual Suspects, we'll see you in the next round.

In the meantime, cheerio.

Charles, what do you think of that list?

Is there anything you want to avoid?

There's some rather puzzling ones.

Language is such a vast subject, it's hard to know what aspect

it could possibly be, but in a way that's not too worrying.

Charles, you've made a great start to the game.

-Shall we continue and try and keep up that form?

-Yeah.

Jolly good. Let's play Round Two.

45 seconds starts now.

Ali G's girlfriend was called Julie.

-False.

-False.

A burqini is a swimsuit designed for Muslim women.

-False.

-False.

Prince Charles has appeared in Coronation Street.

-False.

-False.

And finally, Sylvester Stallone studied art at the Sorbonne.

-False.

-False.

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

You seemed a little bit more circumspect about those.

Yes. A tougher round. Burqini...

it seems impossible that there could be such a thing as a burqini.

I can't believe it's reality.

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

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

Nick, how's he done this time?

He's definitely not got perfection. Question B...

the burqini is something that Muslim women wear.

And Prince Charles was definitely in Coronation Street.

-So I don't think you've got perfection, sorry.

-Well, Charles,

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to win.

Let's find out how many are correct.

One, just the one of the four, which plainly means that you failed to achieve perfection.

You've now let the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Didn't get a look-in last time, guys. You can see Charles's answers.

You need to change three but which three?

I'm absolutely certain about B and C that are wrong, and Ali G did a song called Me Julie.

Me Julie, yes.

So I think that's probably where the trick is, so I would go with

he's got D right which means he got the other three wrong.

OK, so definitely change A from false to true, please.

-Thank you.

-We'll change C from false to true as well, please, Nick.

And B from false to true as well, please, Nick.

B from false to true, leaving D as Charles answered.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Ali G's girlfriend was called Julie.

Is that true or false?

It's true. Good start, Usual Suspects. A burqini is a swimsuit designed for Muslim women.

Is that true or false?

-It is true.

-Well done!

-Prince Charles has appeared in Coronation Street.

You said it's true. You need this to turn green.

Is it true or false?

It is true, which means you know where this is going.

Sylvester Stallone studied art at the Sorbonne?

It is false. You have achieved perfection.

Sylvester Stallone is a keen artist and some of his paintings have sold for over 50,000.

However, he never studied art at the Sorbonne.

Charles, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you

failed and they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Charles's chances of winning the £3,000

much harder. Let's see the final board.

You've earned the right to choose the next two categories to add to the board.

Which two do you think will trip Charles up in the final?

I'd definitely want to put animation in there, if you two are...

-More than happy.

-Yeah, more than happy with that one.

Animation goes across.

British TV I'm not sure he'd be good at because he's a reader,

He didn't know the Coronation Street question.

OK, we'll go with British TV.

British TV goes across and becomes the fourth of the six categories.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. It's time to switch you off and we'll see you in Round Three.

-Ready to play the next round?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Peking is another name for the city of Beijing.

-True.

-True.

John Travolta is a qualified pilot.

-True.

-True.

Where Eagles Dare is a book by Alistair MacLean.

True.

Andy Murray's older brother is named Jamie.

-True.

-True.

And with probably more than half your allotted time available, you've answered all four statements.

Well, two of them are Scottish and I'm half-Scottish,

but that doesn't necessarily make them true, of course.

-No, that's true.

-I wish it did.

-But it sounded like a very positive round.

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

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

Corrine, how has he done this time?

I know for sure that he's got D right.

I love tennis and I know Andy Murray has an older brother called Jamie, so I can't argue with that one.

Charles, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Congratulations, Charles, you've achieved perfection.

Peking is another name for the city of Beijing.

It is absolutely true.

John Travolta is a qualified pilot.

You said true, and again it is absolutely true.

Where Eagles Dare is a book by Alistair MacLean.

Once again, you answered true, and it is.

And Andy Murray's older brother is named Jamie.

Corrine was absolutely sure, you were sure, you said true.

A fantastic round for you there.

You've made winning the prize fund a lot easier.

Let's have a look at your final board.

So which two do you fancy?

-I'll try Islands.

-Islands.

-What on Earth is Structures?

I've no idea. Um, it's such a morphus term, I think I'll give it a miss.

I think I'll go for Business.

-Business.

-Yeah.

We now know your six final categories.

Biographies, Wars, Animation, British TV, Islands and Business.

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

Charles, a decent set of subject categories for you there?

I've got no objections to the categories, it's the questions I'm worried about.

Well, we're about to discover what those are. For £3,000, it's time to play the final.

Charles, this is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £3,000.

If you fail, you'll leaving with nothing - great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a roll-over of £4,000 next game.

Let's play the final round.

Charles, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £3,000.

No time limit, but once you've given an answer, the first answer, it will be locked in. Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Good. Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Kenneth Branagh wrote his autobiography in his 20s.

It's true that most of his career was spent when he was younger but I can't believe it was that long ago.

I'm going to say...

false.

False.

Wars. The Hundred Years' War ended in the 13th century.

That's false. It ended in 1453 at the Battle of Castillon so that's false.

False. Animation.

The title character in the film Shrek is an ogre.

-True.

-True.

British TV.

BBC Alba only broadcasts Welsh language programmes.

Alba is not a name for Wales that I know of.

I think it is more likely to be a Scottish BBC branch

-if it exists at all, therefore I think that that is false.

-False.

Islands.

The Galapagos Islands are in the Atlantic Ocean.

I think they're in the Pacific so I think that's false too.

False.

And finally, Business.

The letters COO stand for Chief Operating Officer.

That's my recollection too, so I think I'll say that that's true.

True. Charles, those answers are now locked in.

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

Which one are you worried about?

-I'm worried about... a teeny bit worried about A.

-But the rest

-you're fairly confident about?

-The rest I'm pretty confident of.

OK, 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 Charles's answers.

The answers are locked in and you can't change them by yourself.

If you've made a mistake, you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

-This will come at a cost.

-Quite.

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

Usual Suspects, I'll ask you to tell me how well you think Charles has done,

if you want to help and, if you do, how much it will cost. Charles, who would you like to hear from first?

-Corrine.

-Corrine.

-Well, to be honest,

I'm looking at all of those answers and I do believe,

-in my opinion, you have got perfection.

-Does that help?

It does, and it also means she's cut herself out of a chance of doing a deal which I think is

the most selfless, noble thing I've come across in many, many years.

She could be bluffing, knowing you've got something wrong...

It could be but she's got such an honest face.

-Thank you.

-Can I try Nick next?

I can't help you. I don't think you'll be shocked.

I really hope you do well with it.

They look like good answers, but I can't help you. OK. Danny.

I think you've got one, possibly two wrong.

How much would you be willing to part with?

Well, two out of six is a third, isn't it?

And we're up to three grand, um...

but you don't sound certain to me.

-I'm not, no.

-And I'm not prepared to give away that much money

for anything less than certainty.

-OK.

-Um, I know that one oughtn't to try and bargain with taxi drivers,

at least when I've tried it, I get a flea in my ear.

What's your feeling?

Would £750 fetch you round?

Good luck.

-Thank you.

-I think that's a no.

-I think that's a no.

-Would you like to up your offer?

-Let me think.

-Perhaps we should go another way.

Danny, how much do you want to come down and join him?

Well, this is as much of a punt for me as it is for Charles so I want half.

You don't give me the impression of being hugely sure about the two

-that you think that I may not be so good on.

-OK.

So you don't want to pay £1,500 of your £3,000?

-No, I don't.

-Good luck.

-All right, thanks very much. With good luck from you twice now,

and the other two being very supportive, I'll go for it.

You're going to go for it on your own. OK, £3,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

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

Right, starting from the top. Kenneth Branagh wrote his autobiography in his 20s.

This was the one you seemed most unsure about.

You ummed and aahed about it and decided it was false.

-Yes, I won't quarrel with that.

-OK. In that case,

as it's probably of most interest to us, we'll hop over it and carry on.

The Hundred Years' War ended in the 13th century. You were certain on this one.

You even had the date of the battle that ended it all, so you said false.

We need that to turn red, then. Is that true or false?

It is false. Congratulations.

Good start. And it did end in 1453 exactly as you said.

The title character in the film Shrek is an ogre.

You said that's true. Have you seen the film?

Yeah. I've seen one or two of them.

OK. So is it true or false?

It is an ogre.

OK, BBC Alba only broadcasts Welsh language programmes.

Now, you said this was false. You have a Scottish connection yourself.

Well, Albany is the old word for Scotland, and Alba therefore seems

more likely to apply to BBC Scotland as opposed to Welsh, so I think it's got to be false.

Let's find out whether you're right. True or false?

It is false.

And it does broadcast in the Scottish Gaelic language,

so well done for working that through.

The Galapagos Islands are in the Atlantic Ocean.

You said false because you believed them to be in the Pacific.

Is it true or false?

It's false.

Absolutely right. They are in the Pacific.

Two questions away from £3,000.

The letters COO stand for Chief Operating Officer.

You answered true.

We need this to turn green to keep you on course for that money.

If it turns red, you walk out with nothing.

The letters COO stand for Chief Operating Officer.

Is that true or false?

It's true.

And so we return to the first question we asked.

Kenneth Branagh wrote his autobiography in his 20s.

You reasoned that would be too young and too long ago, surely,

to be when he wrote his autobiography.

You were looking for help from the Usual Suspects to try and decide that.

That help wasn't forthcoming.

You said it was false, so you need this to turn red, which will mean

that you walk out of here with £3,000 having done it all on your own.

If it turns green, you walk out of here with nothing.

Kenneth Branagh wrote his autobiography in his 20s.

Is that true or false for £3,000?

It's true!

Charles, I'm afraid you have failed to achieve perfection only by one,

but we need absolute perfection for you to win.

-Well, well. You weren't sure about that one, were you?

-No, I wasn't. I really wasn't.

He wrote his autobiography in his late 20s when he was 28-years-old, and it was called Beginning.

The Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £4,000.

-Pleased with that?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Unlucky, though, Charles, you did well.

-Yeah.

Five out of six, not quite good enough. Charles, I'm afraid you failed

to achieve perfection which means you go home with nothing.

-I hope you enjoyed playing the game, though.

-Very much.

-Ladies and gentlemen, Charles.

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

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Martin from Milton Keynes, and I'm a company director.

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

Danny, it's you. You've been chosen.

Please come down and play Perfection.

-Danny, welcome to the game. Seventh game, in actual fact.

-Yeah.

-You were starting to take root up there as captain.

-Yes.

Hoped the pot would build up.

-Yes, but four grand's a nice sum of money, you know?

-It's a few cab fares.

Better than a poke in the eye!

Danny, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your teammates, now they're your enemies.

Here's the good news. As nobody has won the past three games, the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

APPLAUSE

-What will you spend it on if you win it?

-I might buy myself a new guitar.

-Do you play the guitar?

-Yeah.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I need a new cab as well, so it'd help to buy a new cab, but it depends what I see first!

OK, three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now. See you later.

You can now talk through your answers without giving away any knowledge.

-Ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Oast houses... I would say that that it is true.

-True?

-Yes.

Jock Stirrup! Are you sure?!

-I'm going to say that's false.

-False.

That's definitely not true.

-That's false.

-False?

I'm not sure on that.

I will have to guess on that and say that's false as well.

-False?

-Yeah.

You very gently made your way through those,

and you've answered all four statements.

-Good round, do you think?

-Not bad.

Jock Stirrup's a little bit of a...

Jock Stirrup!

It's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Hello, Usual Suspects. These were the four statements, and next to them are Danny's answers.

Martin, you're new. How's he done?

I think he's got all four right there.

I wouldn't argue with any of those, they look good to me.

I disagree, unfortunately.

I know for a fact... I have been to Florence, and it is in Tuscany.

Diametrically-opposed views from the Usual Suspects.

Danny, it's the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four perfectly to have won. Let's find out how many are correct.

Not quite perfection, unfortunately, Danny.

You've now let your enemies into the game.

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

You need to change one of them.

-Corrine, how sure are you? Cos I'm not certain.

-I'm certain.

I thought Tuscany was northern Italy.

I stayed just outside Florence and I went to Siena,

and that is all part of Tuscany. I am certain.

-Definitely correct, yes.

-OK, we want to change D to true, please, Nick.

OK, D changes from false to true,

thus leaving A, B and C as Danny first answered.

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

Oast houses were used to dry hops for beer-making.

Danny, you said true.

Londoners used to go out hop picking.

It's a tradition of Londoners going out for a holiday, hop picking.

-Yeah.

-Suspects agreed with you and said true. Is it true or false?

It is true. Good start, Usual Suspects.

Jock Stirrup was a leading flat jockey of the 1970s.

Was this the one to change?

You decided to go with Danny again, and you said false to this too.

So, is it true or false?

It is false, in actual fact.

He was head of the UK's Armed Forces for a while, not a jockey

as far as we're aware, unless it was in his spare time.

Pete Townshend, the Small Faces.

You stuck with Danny again, and obviously you're going to

find out here how the round's going.

So, it that true or false? You need it to turn red, Usual Suspects.

It is false. Congratulations.

-Well done.

-He was of course with The Who.

Florence is a city in the Italian region of Tuscany.

True or false? It is of course true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects - you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Florence is actually the capital of Tuscany.

They succeeded where you failed - they've stolen the round.

You now have the opportunity to make Danny's chances

of winning the prize fund much harder in the final, and here's how.

Danny, here are you final-round categories,

ranging through 80s' Films, Famous Streets, Strong Men,

et cetera. Because the Usual Suspects stole

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

Which two would you like Danny to play?

-What are we thinking?

-We're thinking Literature.

-I know Danny knows a lot of stuff...

-Yeah, Literature for one of them, please.

Literature goes across as the first, and we need one more.

I know he's into music.

-Orchestras, I was thinking.

-Yeah?

I don't associate Danny with orchestras.

-Shall we go?

-I'm happy with that. Yeah?

-Orchestras for the second one, then, please, Nick.

-Orchestras goes across

and makes the second. Well done, you've won the first round.

It's time to switch you off and we'll see you in Round Two.

Danny, with the Usual Suspects gone, what do you think of their choices?

-In all honesty, they suck!

-You're not happy?

No, but I wouldn't have expected them to do me...

I've done nobody any favours, so what goes around, comes around.

I'll take that on the chin, you know? So bring it on.

-Ready for the next round?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Baby Boomers... Yeah, I think that's true.

-I've heard that, yeah.

-True?

Oh!

I'm going to say that's true as well.

-True?

-Yeah, true.

Hippocampus. Never heard of it.

I'm going to say that's false.

-False?

-Yes.

Yeah, he's quite an intelligent man.

-I'll say, yeah, definitely, that's true.

-True? Thank you.

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

Before we reveal how 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 Danny's answers.

-How has he done?

-I think he's done well.

A and D, I certainly agree with.

So maybe you've achieved perfection this time round.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

This time only two of the four. Danny, you fail to achieve perfection.

You've now let your enemies The Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal this round?

-You need to change two of them.

-A is definitely right.

-They were born in the early '50s.

-Yeah, '50s.

The regatta is definitely later than March. I'm convinced.

So B we're going to change to false?

-I think B needs to be changed to false.

-Can we change B to false, please?

You can. B changes from true to false and you need one more change.

-It's the hypothalamus that's in the brain.

-I think you're right.

-So C he's got right?

-He's got right, so it has to be D.

We'll go for D for being false?

-Yeah, go on.

-Yeah, can we change D to false, then, please, Nick?

D is changing from true to false, thus leaving A and C as answered by Danny.

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

People born just after World War II are called Baby Boomers.

Is it true or false?

It is true. Good start.

The Henley Regatta takes place annually in March.

Martin was absolutely sure that that must be false, so you changed it.

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

It is false. First week of July is when it happens.

The hippocampus is part of the brain.

You decided to stick with Danny on this one so you need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

-It's true.

-Oh, my gosh!

Deals with emotion and memory, the hippocampus, which means you know which way this is going.

Comic David Mitchell went to Cambridge University. You said false. Is it true or false?

It is of course true.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects.

You had the chance to steal the round from Danny, but you failed to achieve perfection.

Had you achieved it, you would have the opportunity to make Danny's chance

of winning the prize fund that much harder in the final. Let's look at that board.

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

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

Usual Suspects, I'll switch you off.

We'll see if you get a chance to steal in round three. In the meantime, cheerio.

Danny, your destiny is in your own hands.

-Are you ready to play the next round?

-Yeah.

Jolly good. Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

River Plate, yeah.

-There's a football team called River Plate. I'm going to say that's true.

-True?

-Yeah.

-True or false?

-I'd say that was true.

-True?

-Mm.

True.

Oh, that's a...

Yeah, I'm going to say that's true.

Olympics every four, Commonwealth two.

-Yeah, I'm going to say that's true.

-True. Thank you.

Sargent. Yeah, I'd say that's true, too.

True.

You've answered all four statements. A good one?

-I'm quite happy with that.

-You think that's a decent round?

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 Danny's answers.

-What do you think, Martin?

-I think C is definitely wrong

because the Commonwealth Games are in between the Olympics, so there's four years between them as well.

Danny, let's find out how many you got right.

Just two of the four, in fact.

You've now let your enemies into the game.

This could prove crucial here. Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

There are four subjects on offer here.

You can see Danny's answers. You need to change two of them.

-Which two?

-Definitely go for C.

OK. C we'd like to change, then, please, Nick.

C changes from true to false.

Woody Allen has made over 30 films. That's a lot.

He is quite prolific.

-He is. He stars in a lot and he's produced a lot.

-The River Plate,

is that definitely in South America?

River Plate Stadium is South America.

-So it must be D.

-Happy with changing D? Yeah, can we change D to false, please?

D changes from true to false, thus meaning A and B remain as Danny answered them.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

The River Plate is located in South America. Is it true or false?

It's true. Good start.

Between Argentina and Uruguay is the river.

Woody Allen has made over 30 films.

This was the one you were unsure about. You decided to leave it alone with true.

Is it true or false?

He has made over 30 films.

Congratulations. The Commonwealth Games take place every two years.

You changed it true to false.

You think it's every four years. Is it true or false?

It is false. It is false. You know where this is going, don't you?

John Singer Sergeant found fame as a poet. True or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

John Singer Sargent found fame as a painter, in actual fact.

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

of winning the prize fund as hard as it can be. Let's look at the final board.

Only two subjects on there so far, and both of them chosen by you, Usual Suspects.

Because you won the round, you have the right

to choose four categories to add to it, making a clean sweep. Which four do you want?

We're definitely cancelling out Famous Streets

cos, as a taxi driver, he'd be very good at that.

So definitely not that. Wars? Do we think he'd be not so good on that?

-Yeah, we think Wars.

-Wars for one, please.

Wars goes across, thank you.

What about the Ships one or maybe Measurements?

We could use both. We've got Ships and Measurements.

Happy with both? Ships and Measurements.

Ships goes across. Measurements also follows it into the final six. We need just one more from you.

Go for it.

-Shall we go for Awards?

-Go on, yeah.

-Are you happy with that?

-Yeah.

Awards, please, Nick.

Awards goes over and becomes the sixth and final category in the final list.

We now know our six final categories.

They are Literature, Orchestras, Wars, Ships, Measurements and Awards.

It's time to switch you off for the final time.

We'll see you later.

Danny, £4,000 on offer.

It's time to play the final.

This is the final.

If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £4,000.

If you fail, you could leave with nothing, which will be great news for The Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game. Are you ready?

Yes, I am. I'm looking forward to it.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Danny, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £4,000.

There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Good. Let's reveal your first statement.

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

The Sharpe novels are set during the Crusades.

There's a television programme called Sharpe and it's got that guy with the chiselled jaw...

Can't think of his name. Bean, I think.

I'm trying to think of the date of the Crusades

and the date that I've got in my mind when I watch Sharpe occasionally,

and I feel that it doesn't even out, so...

I'm going to say that's false.

False.

Orchestras. The leader of an orchestra is usually the pianist.

I thought it was the conductor, wasn't it?

He'd lead the orchestra.

It's the one with the stick.

-I'm going to say that's false as well.

-False.

Wars. The Spanish Civil War took place in the 1930s.

They've got a lot of history, Spain, haven't they?

Civil War...

I'm going to say that's false as well.

I think that'd be before the '30s.

False. Ships.

Ernest Shackleton had a ship called Endurance.

Old Ernie, eh?

Shackleton...

I'm going to say that's true.

Just got a feeling it's true, so I'm going to go with my feeling.

-True?

-Mmm.

-Measurements.

There are over 40 centimetres in one foot.

Right, a ruler is 30 centimetres...

And that's a foot. 12 inches.

That's right, isn't it? That's false.

-False?

-Yeah.

And Awards.

Barack Obama has won a Grammy award.

For being a president.

No, I'm not having that.

That's false.

-False?

-Yeah.

Danny, those answers are now locked in.

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

-Which one's worrying you?

-All of them!

I didn't get to choose anything and they were as evil to me

as I've been to everybody, so live by the sword, die by the sword, really.

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

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

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

but if you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock them with the help of The Usual Suspects.

This will come at a cost.

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

Usual Suspects, I'm going to ask you to tell me how well

you think Danny has done, if you want to help and, if you do, how much it will cost.

Danny, who would you like to hear from first?

I'll go with Nick first, seeing as he's captain and that.

I've been a Usual Suspect with you for a while and you've willed the prize money to roll over,

so I'm going to do the same thing. I can't help.

-Good luck to you, mate.

-Thank you.

-Corrine, what do you think?

Danny, I think you've done really well.

However, I do think you have got two wrong.

I'm not 100% certain so I don't think I'd risk it.

OK. Martin, what do you think?

Danny, mate, um...there may be one there that's not right,

but I don't have the confidence to come out and help you.

Not for any amount of money, Martin?

-Er, I'll come out for £3,900.

-OK.

Of the £4,000.

-How sure are you?

-Er...

75% sure that there's one wrong.

That isn't very good for 3,900 quid, is it? You know what I mean?! Hello!

Danny, if you've got one wrong, mate, 100 quid's better than nothing.

True that. True that. Very true. OK.

OK, well, good luck to the three of you.

-Sorry.

-Go for it.

I get the impression that negotiations are pretty much over, so it's down to you, Danny.

None of The Usual Suspects will help.

£4,000 at stake, six answers away.

Now that this is all tied up, Martin , just out of interest,

which one was it you wanted to change?

The Spanish Civil War. I think it did take place in the '30s.

OK. Let's find out if you have achieved perfection.

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

Let's start at the top, shall we? The Sharpe novels are set during the Crusades. You answered false.

We want it to turn red for you.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

Set in the Napoleonic Wars.

The leader of an orchestra is usually the pianist.

You said false on the basis that it's the bloke with a stick

that leads it, the conductor.

Is it true or false? It is false.

The term "leader" is usually given to the violinist.

-Is it really?

-Yeah, the leader of the orchestra.

But either way, you get to the correct answer.

That's all you need to do and you've done it for two of the six.

The Spanish Civil War took place in the 1930s.

Martin actually thought that this was the one, if he had come in to help you out, he would've changed.

You said false. We want this to turn red for you so you can stay in.

If it turns green, you leave with nothing.

Is it true or false?

Sadly, it's true. I'm afraid, Danny, you didn't manage to achieve perfection.

Martin would've made the change for you there,

but he didn't want to come down for the cash. Let's find out whether he was right.

Also let's find out whether you have managed to achieve perfection at home.

Ernest Shackleton had a ship called Endurance.

You had a feeling that was true.

Is it true or false?

It is true. There are over 40 centimetres in one foot.

Is that true or false?

It's false, as exactly you said it was. So we come down to this one.

Barack Obama has won a Grammy award.

You said that was false. You weren't having that.

I wonder whether Martin will be kicking himself

for not coming down and changing that one and getting...

£3,900!

-3,900!

-You said it was false.

We need this to turn red so that you can thumb your nose at Martin.

Is it true or false?

True. Yes, he has. He's won two for his books.

-Really?

-Yeah, absolutely, for his books.

Interestingly, Martin made the right decision in the end, despite the fact

that it looked very tempting, and I'm afraid that you don't go home with any cash, Danny.

Usual Suspects, great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where you could be playing for a total of £5,000. You've got to be very pleased.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Well done, Danny. Sorry I couldn't help.

Danny, you failed to achieve perfection which means you go home with nothing.

-Have you had a good time?

-I've had a fantastic time, brilliant.

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 £5,000.

But remember, the only way they're going to get it is absolute perfection. Goodbye.
