Episode 6 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz that demands nothing less than perfection!

Behind the screen are four contestants who'll be hoping their knowledge is flawless,

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

APPLAUSE

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

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

They're in our Isolation Room.

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

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

For example, if I said...

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

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

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong, 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.

Hello, my name's Julia. I'm an administrator from West Somerset, and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Martin, I'm a company director from Milton Keynes, and this is my second game.

Hello, I'm Corrine, I'm from York and I work in telemarketing. This is my fourth game.

Hi, I'm Nick. I'm from Nottingham, I'm a trainee teacher, and this is my fifth game.

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

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

Martin, you've been chosen! Please come and play Perfection!

APPLAUSE

-Martin, welcome to the game.

-Thank you very much.

-Company director?

-Yes.

-In order to have a successful company,

you need to employ good people and be able to weigh them up pretty quickly.

You do, that's true.

What do you make of the people you were sat up there with?

Well, Nick's a good lad. Corrine also, lots of intelligence there.

-Julia I don't know so well, cos she's just joined the team, of course.

-She looks bright.

-She looks bright.

-You'd have been in real trouble if you'd said anything else.

-Absolutely!

OK, well, Martin, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund,

because your failure will mean the money rolls over to the next game,

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Here's the good news - nobody's won the last four games,

so, the prize fund currently stands at...£5,000.

-Excellent.

-What would you spend it on if you won it?

Well, my wife's got rather a large birthday coming up,

a bit of a spectacular birthday. Probably not be very gallant to say which one it is...

-21st?

-Yeah, plus the 80!

And she's never been on a safari. So I'd love to be able to take her on safari for a birthday present.

It's a wonderful thing to do.

-Well, good luck.

-Thank you.

-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 for you.

But if you are anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have the chance to step in and steal the round, making the final much harder.

More on that to follow later. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now,

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

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

-OK.

Each round has four true or false statements. You'll be answering against the clock, 45 seconds,

-and once you've given your answers, they'll be locked in, you ready?

-I'm ready, let's do it.

Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

Well, they're not my team. My team's Bristol Rovers, God bless them! But I believe that is true.

True. Thank you.

LaGuardia Airport... We've got Newark in New York...

LaGuardia is... I'll say true for that as well.

Definitely not. He lived well past it, so false.

-I...ooh, I don't know. I'm going to say...

-Watch your time!

-True!

True. Thank you very much.

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 Martin's answers.

Julia, you're the new girl on the block. Has he achieved perfection?

-I thought he had, but then, on reflection, I think maybe he's got one wrong.

-Which one?

-B, I think, LaGuardia.

-Might be wrong?

-Yes.

-Interesting. OK, Martin, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

-Oh!

-Just two of the four. Plainly, Martin, you have failed to achieve perfection.

-Miserably!

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

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

You need to change two of them. Which two are you going to choose?

-B, we definitely think B.

-We agree on B.

-So to make that false.

-Yeah.

-That's in Washington... sorry, it's in New York.

-So can we change B to false, please, Nick?

You can. B changes from true to false. We need one more.

-Charles De Gaulle died just after office. He didn't die in the war.

-No, that's right.

-He didn't.

-That's right.

-You think he got that right? It's false. So we'll change...?

-Nat "King" Cole.

So we're changing D to false? Is that what we're saying? Cos we're sure on A and C...

-Charles De Gaulle died after being President of France.

-So we're changing D to false?

-Yes.

-Is that what we're saying?

Can we change D to false, then, please, Nick?

Thank you. D changes from true to false,

meaning that A and C remain as Martin answered.

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

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

It's in New York City.

In actual fact, he lived on and only died in 1970.

You know where this is going now!

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection!

His real middle name, by the way, was Adams. The reference "King" came from Old King Cole.

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

of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

And here's how.

Martin, this is your final board. These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Behind each category will be a true or false statement.

You'll need to answer correctly all six to win the prize fund, so you need to play perfectly.

Here are you final-round categories.

Now, if you'd have won that round, you'd have had the opportunity to add two categories of your choice,

but because the Usual Suspects stole the round,

they get to choose the two categories, hoping to make the final that much harder for you to win.

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

Celebrities was what immediately struck out to me. He doesn't look like he'd be into celebrity gossip.

-Are we happy with that?

-Yeah.

-Celebrities for the first one, please.

Celebrities goes across. Thank you. And one more.

-Want to go for astronomy?

-I'm happy with that. Yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Astronomy for the second one, please, Nick.

Thank you very much. Astronomy becomes the second one.

Well done, Usual Suspects. You've won the first round. Time to switch you off

and we'll see you in Round 2. And away they go.

-Martin, are you ready to play the next round?

-Let's do it!

-Let's play Round 2!

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think a cucumber grows on top of the ground so I think that's false.

That was the thing they used to crank around, wasn't it? I think that's true.

You know, he was a keen soccer player, wasn't he?

I think that's true.

Oh, what was it called? Was it Ellis Island?

Ellis Island...

-True.

-True?

-Yes.

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

These are the four statements and next to them are Martin's answers. Nick, what do you think?

I'm looking at question A. I've never seen a cucumber growing out the ground.

-I think that's possibly true.

-Corrine?

-I don't believe it grows underground.

I think it hangs off a plant.

Let's find out, shall we? Martin, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Oh!

Stopped at three, you failed to achieve perfection, Martin

Now you've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game again.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round? You can see Martin's answers.

-You need to change just one of them.

-So you two are disagreeing with me and that A he has got right?

-We want to stick with that.

-So sticking with A as false.

-What about D, though?

-Well, I think that's Robben Island as opposed to Ellis Island.

-OK, we'll change D to false, then, Nick.

We're going to change D from true to false, meaning that A, B and C remain as Martin answered.

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

It grows overground.

It is true, so you know where you're going with this now!

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection!

Corrine, you were absolutely right. It was in fact Robben Island. Ellis Island's in New York.

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

of winning the prize fund of £5,000 that much harder.

Let's see the final board.

Because you won the round, you've earned the right to choose the next two categories to add to the board.

-So which two do you fancy?

-I'm thinking TV hosts.

-Are you?

-On a similar line to the celebrities thing, but, obviously, I don't know him that well...

he may well be good on that sort of thing. It's anything... I don't know.

-Go with it if that's your instinct.

-You all right with that?

-Yeah, yeah.

-TV hosts.

-Lovely. TV hosts moves across. And one more?

-What do you think about henchmen?

-Well, I...yeah, why not?

-I'm happy with that.

-It's not...

-Yeah?

-It's not a common subject.

-No.

-Go for it.

-Henchmen is the second one, then, please, Nick.

-Lovely.

Henchmen goes across and becomes the fourth category in the final.

Time to switch you off and we'll see you in Round 3.

-What do you think?

-Henchmen, that's just a wacky heading, isn't it? So who knows?

OK. Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I used to watch Citizen Smith. Did he appear in it?

I know he did the odd bits and pieces here and there.

You know what? I'm going to say true to that.

Oh, good Lord! I've no idea.

3, 6, 9, 12, 15...

er...false.

Two shades of blue?

False.

Oh, long time since I've read that book!

Er...I'm going to say...true, because I've got two falses!

And 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 Martin's answers.

-Julia, has he achieved perfection?

-No, sadly not.

Certainly. I think D is wrong.

I think A is correct, actually. I seem to remember Jonathan Ross

in his early career appearing in one or two sitcoms.

All right. Martin, the moment of truth.

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

-Just two of the four!

-Two again!

-Not nearly perfect, I'm afraid!

That means you've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game again.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round for the third time and make the clean sweep?

You can see Martin's answers. You need to change two of them, which two?

We're changing D to false.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-D is changing from true to false. Thank you. One other?

If you're confident about Jonathan Ross being in comedies and things... shall we go for B?

-I think as captain, we'll let you decide.

-Thank you very much!

We'll risk it. We'll go for B. Change it to true, please. Be it on my head!

B is changing from false to true, thus leaving A and C as Martin originally chose.

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

So you have failed to achieve perfection, Usual Suspects.

Jonathan Ross didn't appear in the sitcom Citizen Smith,

-although he did appear in the last episode of It Ain't Half Hot Mum, interestingly enough.

-Oh, well...

Have you achieved perfection at home? Let's press on and find out, shall we?

A snooker frame starts with 23 balls on the table. You said true, Usual Suspects.

There are 22, including the white cue ball.

-There is in fact just the one colour of blue with the white cross on it.

-Yeah.

In The Lord Of The Rings...

Bilbo's cousin, in actual fact. Let's have a look at the board.

Four subjects, all chosen so far by the Usual Suspects.

But nobody managed to win Round 3, meaning we have two blank spaces still to be filled.

To fill those blank spaces, you'll take it in turn to choose a category.

-Martin, as the single player, you get to choose first.

-Well, I'll take rock music, Nick, please.

Rock music moves across as the fifth of six.

So, Usual Suspects, you get to choose the last one. What category do you think will trip Martin up?

-Are we thinking of phobias?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, we'll go for that? Phobias, then, please, Nick.

Phobias goes into the final. Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off for the final time.

So, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

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

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £5,000! That's good money by anybody's standards.

-OK, are you ready?

-I'm ready. Let's do it.

-Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Martin, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £5,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit,

but once you've given an answer, your first answer, it's locked in.

Let's reveal the first statement.

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

True or false?

Married...2010...that's true...

I...

-False.

-False?

-Yes.

By diameter the Moon is bigger than Mercury?

Mercury is quite small...

so I think that might be true.

Cat Deeley was the original host of X-Factor?

I think that's false.

-False?

-Yeah.

-The interestingly titled henchmen.

-Mmm...that's interesting.

OK, he was the guy who flicked his hat...

I think that's true. I'm going to go for true.

-The only subject you chose for yourself...

-Oh!

-..In the final.

Is that true or false?

I'm going to say true on that one cos I think the guitarist is English, actually, so I'm going to say true.

Pantophobia is the fear of everything?

Everything? You can't be afraid of everything, surely?

I don't believe there is such a thing as a fear of everything,

you couldn't live, so I'm going to say false.

Martin, those answers are now locked in.

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

Let's switch on the Usual Suspects to see what they have to say.

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

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

but if you think you made a mistake, you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, 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 Martin has done,

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

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

-Corrine, please. What do you think I've done there?

I think you've got four of those right.

I know you have one wrong... and the other one I'm uncertain of.

So I really don't feel I can come down and help you, simply because I don't think it'd be worth it.

OK, fine. Nick, what do you think?

I can tell you you've 100% got one of them wrong.

OK.

And I definitely know the answer.

I know you've definitely got one right...but as for the other four... I don't know.

So I feel reluctant coming to help you, not knowing the answers myself.

If you're not completely 100%, I don't really want to give up my chance on the money.

-I'm not 100%.

-So you're declaring yourself out, Nick?

-Yeah, sorry.

-That's all we need to know. We need to know where we stand.

-Julia, what do you think?

-I think you've certainly got two wrong.

-As for the others I can't commit myself so...

-You have ruled yourself out, have you?

-I'm sitting here actually prevaricating with myself and thinking...

-OK.

-Interesting. Try throwing money at her.

-Yeah. Well, we can split this half and half, 2,500 each.

Yes, but then what if I'm wrong, and actually there's only one that I know for certain is wrong,

and I go and change one that's actually right? That's the risk. We could both go away with nothing!

-That's the risk we all take.

-Sure.

-So?

-OK, I'll come down.

-Come on down!

-I'll come and play.

-Come on down!

-Lovely!

So negotiations have been agreed, and for £2,500 of the £5,000 pot, Julia, please, come and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Martin, you've asked Julia for help. If you achieve perfection, it will cost you £2,500

of your potential prize fund of £5,000.

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

This is your only shot of winning Perfection. Have you made the right decision? We're about to find out.

Here are the final round statements.

All six answers are now unlocked. Julia, which answers do you want Martin to change?

Well, I know for certain that A, Robbie Williams did marry Ayda Field.

-OK, just didn't know what her name was.

-OK.

-That didn't ring a bell.

-And the other one...

-please, God, let it be right! I think it's Cat Deeley... was one of the original...

-Yes!

Well, I've looked at that and wondered about that since, cos I know there was a female.

And then I think she went on to something else.

Well, Martin, here's the situation. It is still, of course, your choice.

-Yeah.

-So you can now change any or all of your answers or you can decide at this point

-not to change anything at all. It's entirely up to you.

-All right.

-We know A's definitely...

-Well, we'll definitely change A to true.

-A is changing from false to true.

-Yeah.

-Any others?

-Cat Deeley, I think you might be right. I think we should change that to true.

-You'll hate me if it's wrong.

-No, I won't, because I would have got it wrong anyway.

Let's chance C to true.

-C changes from false to true.

-Now, B, I'm pretty sure about. D, I'm absolutely confident about.

-E, I'm more and more confident about. F is a guess.

-Yeah.

-What do you want to do with F?

-Oh, dear...oh!

-Give me a sign, I don't know!

-Shall we lock them?

-Go for it.

-Yes?

-Yeah.

-Go for it, that's it.

-All right, lovely.

So B, D, E and F all remain as originally answered by Martin. Those answers are now locked in.

£5,000 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.

Was it a good idea to get Julia to come down and help? Is that true or false?

-It's true.

-Well done. APPLAUSE

-Well done.

-So, let's move on.

Martin, you thought that was true. You agreed to stick with it when Julia came to join you.

So we need this one to turn green for you to press on towards the cash.

Is that true or false?

-It's false!

-Oh, no!

-Oh, dear!

-Although Mercury is the smallest planet, it is still bigger than the Moon.

Yes. Martin and Julia, I'm afraid, as you can see, you did not manage to achieve perfection.

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

Let's press on through the answers and see where we stand with them.

Let's find out.

-It's false, I'm afraid.

-Oh, well, touche!

Kate Thornton was the original host, so another bad one there, I'm afraid.

-You were confident of this one, weren't you, Martin?

-Yes.

-And Julia was happy to agree.

-Was it true or false?

-That's right, I'm sure.

Only two members of U2 were born in Ireland. After some consideration, you thought that might be true.

-Well done.

-It is true.

Pantophobia...

You thought it was false, you stuck with false... Is it true or false?

-Oh!

-You had a feeling when you got the subjects that it was a nasty one for you...

-Yeah.

Martin and Julia, I'm afraid you've failed to achieve perfection, which means you both go home with nothing,

-but I hope you've enjoyed playing.

-Very much.

-Yes, thank you.

-Let's hear it for Martin and Julia!

-APPLAUSE Thank you, Nick.

-Thank you.

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

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hello, I'm Keith, I'm a police officer and I'm from Liverpool.

Hi, I'm Pete, I'm an energy consultant and I'm from Guilford.

Welcome, Keith, welcome Pete.

"Evening, Officer," I should say!

You must be pretty good at weighing up people. What do you make of Corrine and Nick?

-I think they're a couple of sharp cookies!

-Yeah! And, Pete, what's the energy like in the box up there?

-Oh, it's madness in here! Honestly, it's crazy. You can feel it. And you can feel the love as well.

-Can you?

-Yeah.

-Well, keep your hands to yourself! Best of luck to all of you

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

Nick, it's you!

You've been chosen! Please come and play Perfection!

-Nick, welcome to the game.

-Thank you very much.

-Trainee teacher?

-Yeah, 5-11 years.

So the knowledge you need for that is not necessarily the knowledge you need for this kind of...?

It's not, no, to be fair, although some of the year 5/year 6 stuff is actually quite challenging.

-You'd be surprised. So it might help me!

-I don't think I'd be surprised.

-I think I'd probably struggle with year 5/year 6.

-Well, I do!

-Pleased to be down here?

-You've played a few games now.

-I've been there a while. I'm pleased to finally be here.

It's my game. Let's do this!

Well, Nick, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

-Yeah.

-They were your team-mates, now they're your enemies. Here's the good news...

as nobody has won the past five games, the prize fund currently stands at £6,000.

APPLAUSE

Great money for a trainee teacher!

-Ridiculously big money. It would change my life, it really would.

-OK.

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now, so you can't see or hear anything.

But as soon as Nick makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game. Cheerio.

And away they go.

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

-OK, yeah.

-You ready?

-I am!

-Shall we get into it?

-Yes, let's do it.

-Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That's true.

-True?

-Yeah.

I think that's false. No, I think that's false.

I don't think she won gold. I think that's false.

-Yeah, that's true. I think that's true. We'll go for true.

-True?

-Yeah.

-And with plenty of time still on the clock...

-I know...

but a lot of them if I think about them too much, I will trick myself...

I maybe have got some wrong, but there's a couple I'm definite on, so...

-Quite confident with that round?

-Ish, ish.

-OK.

Before we reveal 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 Nick's answers.

Let's start in Liverpool. Keith, has he achieved perfection?

I think you're pretty close to it, Nick.

I'm not quite sure on D, but certainly B's right.

The Pentagon isn't the HQ of the CIA, that's Langley.

Well, let's find out. The moment of truth, Nick.

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

-It's not looking good!

-Let's find out how many you've got correct.

Three out of four, it's not perfection.

Unfortunately, because you have not achieved perfection,

you've now allowed the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

You need to change just one them, but which one's it going to be?

-I think we're all...

-I think we're all agreed...

-D, yeah.

-Nick...

-Yes?

-I think it's definitely D that we want to change from true to false

-cos all of us are in agreement.

-Thank you.

D changes from true to false, meaning that A, B and C remain as Nick answered.

Usual Suspects, let's find out what the correct answers are, shall we?

Good start, Usual Suspects.

It's actually the headquarters of the US Department of Defense.

You're right, Langley is actually the CIA headquarters.

Never took part in the Beijing Olympics.

You know where this is going now, don't you, Usual Suspects?

Congratulations, Usual Suspects! You have achieved perfection!

Oddly enough, they were engaged, but they never got married.

So you now have the opportunity to make Nick's chances

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

Nick, let's have a look at your final round categories.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

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

Usual Suspects, which two do you think are going to trip up Nick in the final?

Well, the obvious one is... because of his age...

-we think old money.

-Yeah.

-Are we agreed? Do we think that?

-Oh, yeah.

-Old money's going across, thank you.

-And another one?

-What do we go for? Titles?

-Titles is nice and random.

-OK.

Nick, I think we'll go for titles, please.

Interesting. OK, titles goes across, and becomes the second.

Well done, Usual Suspects, you've won the first round.

Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 2.

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

-Old money?

-Awful! Haven't got a chance. Pop singers, reality TV, soap operas, yes, please!

So I need to win a round, because I want those!

-Right. You need to up your game by one.

-I do.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Random guess... True.

True.

Oh, no, that's got to be false.

-False?

-Yeah, false.

It rings a bell. I know his name, but then I know nothing about football, so maybe that's not so good.

But then he part-owns... I'm going to go for true.

-True?

-Yeah.

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

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

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

-Pete, what do you think?

-Er... I don't know about Albert Einstein.

I know that Albert Einstein was once offered the Israeli presidency or something bizarre...

-It's possible that's true.

-Keith?

D. I think that might be false. I think it's someone

linked to Formula 1 who owns QPR.

We'll find out. The moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Ooh, it's not got past one. That certainly is not perfection!

And as a result, you've now let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

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

You need to change three of them. Which three do you want to change?

-I'm pretty sure that Francis Drake was executed by Elizabeth I.

-I thought so too.

-OK, if that's what you...

-Well, she executed a fair few people...

-Francis Drake...?

-I don't think...

-Who's the other one?

-OK...

-So he's only got one right,

-so we're looking at changing...

-I think we should chance C and I think we should change D...

-Yeah.

-Shall we start with that one?

-Yeah.

-OK?

-Can we change C, please?

-C changes from false to true.

-And D, please.

-D changes from true to false. And one more.

-We think A is incorrect.

-We'd like to change that to false, please.

-OK.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

He died of fever in the Americas.

So you know where this is going.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

Albert Einstein was given an Albanian passport to help him escape from Germany.

And it's not Silvio Berlusconi who part-owns Queens Park Rangers,

he has no interest in Queens Park Rangers. He did buy AC Milan.

So, there you go. Nick, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed,

and they've stolen the round.

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

of winning the prize of £6,000 much harder. Let's see the final board.

The first two subjects have been chosen by you.

Because you won the round, you have earned the right to choose the next two categories on the board.

-Which two do you want?

-Well, not pop singers, not reality TV, not soap operas!

-What about wine?

-Shall we go for wine? We'd like to go for wine, please, Nick.

-Lovely. OK.

-So wine goes across and we need one more from you.

-Calendars, because it's so random.

-OK.

-Calendars, please, Nick.

-Calendars becomes the fourth. Thank you very much.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've won the second round.

It's time to switch you off and we'll see you in Round 3. And away they go.

-What do you think, wine, calendars?

-It couldn't be going much worse!

Listen, you still have one more chance to find perfection and choose your own categories.

-I need that chance!

-Are you ready to play?

-Yes, I am, yeah.

Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

It's ringing bells! Oooh...!

-I'm going to go for true.

-True?

-Yeah.

I've never seen this and everyone always thinks I have!

Er... # The hills... #

I think it's Germany. Ooh...

-False.

-False?

-Mmm...

Yeah, I know that! True!

-True?

-Yeah.

-Oh, it's a guess. True.

-Thank you very much.

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 Nick's answers.

-Pete, has he achieved perfection?

-No, I think he's got B and C wrong.

-Keith, what do you think?

-He's definitely got C wrong, it's Austin.

Nick, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are right.

Oh! Close, but again you need absolute perfection. Three out of four is just not good enough.

As a result, you have now let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game again!

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round again?

You can see Nick's answers.

You need to change just one of them. Which one's it going to be?

We've agreed, we want to change C.

-C from true to false.

-Yes, please.

-Leaving A, B and D as Nick answered them.

-Yes.

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

It was set in Austria.

This is the one that really matters, isn't it?

Austin is the state capital as you said, Keith.

-Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection!

-APPLAUSE

Which means that you've let them in. You're not going to get to choose any of the subjects for your final!

Be nice!

So, Usual Suspects, because you've won that round, you get the choice. Let's look at that final board.

Because you won the round, you get to choose the next two categories,

making a clean sweep of it. Which ones do you want to try and trip him up in the final?

-What do you think about science fiction?

-I think science fiction could be wonderful!

-Will we take it across?

-Yes, please.

Science fiction goes across into the final. One more.

-He's still a student so he probably knows nothing about nutrition.

-We'll go for nutrition.

-Kebabs all day!

-And possibly wine.

-Yeah! Cheap wine!

-We think we'll go with nutrition, please, Nick.

-Nutrition. Thank you very much.

That goes across and is the final category in the final six.

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

-Nick, what about those last two? Science fiction?

-I just don't know anything.

And the idea students know nothing about nutrition?

It's probably not even true... I don't know. I'm not going to... I've got to get perfection!

It's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

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

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £6,000!

If you fail, you could...well, you will be leaving with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could be playing

-for a rollover of £7,000 on the next game.

-We don't want that!

-OK, are you ready?

-Yes... yes.

-You can do this, come on!

Positive mental attitude! Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Nick, here are your six final categories.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

The word "Bob" was a slang term for a penny?

-I'm going to go for false.

-False.

-Mmm.

..rather than Dr?

I do occasionally watch Holby City, Casualty...

I've never heard of them being called Mr. Er...

-I'm going to go with...false.

-False?

-Yeah.

Shiraz wine is only produced in the USA?

-There's a lot of countries in the world. I'm going to go for false.

-False.

-Mmm.

In the Chinese zodiac, there is a year of the horse?

-I think there is. Yeah, we're going to go for true on that. That rings a bell.

-True.

-Yeah.

-You really didn't want this one, did you?

-Oh...

Avatar took over £200 million at the UK box office?

60 million people in the country. A lot of... But then you're paying... Oh...!

No, I don't think it can get that much. I'm going to go false. False.

..more than 50% protein?

This is funny, cos I'm trying to beef up at the moment.

I've been told that eggs are very good for me for protein...

which leads me to the conclusion... that it's true.

-True?

-I think.

Nick, those answers are now locked in.

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

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 Nick's answers.

Nick, 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.

-Yeah.

-This will, however, come at a cost.

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

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

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

-Nick, who do you want to speak to first?

-Corrine, I was on there for a while with you. What do you think?

I think you've done very well, and I wouldn't really be able to change anything that you've put.

-OK. Thank you.

-Who'd you like to speak to next?

-Er...we'll go to Pete.

I think...I know five of the answers...and you've got two wrong.

What about the sixth? You've got no idea?

Be a toss of a coin.

-What does that mean in terms of coming down, Pete?

-Do you want to throw an offer out there for me?

What are we on? £6,000?

Yeah.

Well, look, it's my game, I've been here, I haven't done very well...

but I'm a nice person, so I want half. I want half. So, £3,000, that's a lot of money.

For one show, the jackpot is £1,000, so that's really quite a big deal.

-Yeah, that is a good offer.

-Let me go to Keith. Is that all right?

-Sure.

Nick, you've definitely got one wrong.

Definitely got one wrong. OK.

- Two other possibles, I'm unsure of. - We don't like that. - Because of that, I'm out.

Right, Pete, please, it lies with you.

I'm going to let it roll over.

-Really?

-Yeah. I'm out.

Cold feet all of a sudden. I think that means negotiations are over.

£6,000 at stake. Six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved perfection!

As a matter of interest, Pete, which ones would you have changed?

Well, I think Avatar cost £800 million, and I'm pretty sure that he made it back.

-So I'd have changed D.

-Any others?

I'm pretty sure a surgeon's called Mr.

-So you'd have changed B as well?

-Yeah.

-All right, well, there you go.

Those are the changes he'd have made.

Let's find out whether you've won the money on your own or whether he was wrong not to join you!

Start at the top and work through.

We'd like it to turn red to get you off to a good start.

It is actually a shilling or was a shilling in the times when old money was used.

This is one of the ones that Pete would have changed if he'd come down and joined you.

You said false. We want it to turn red for you, so you can continue on towards the cash.

UK male surgeons are usually called Mr rather than Dr. Is that true or false?

-Oh, no!

-It's true...I'm afraid...

which means, I'm afraid, you have not achieved perfection, so you're going home with no cash at all.

I'm not impressed, Pete!

Let's press on, because I'm interested to find as well whether the others make any difference.

You said false. Is it true or false?

-It's made in a variety of countries.

-I don't want to get just one wrong.

In the Chinese zodiac, there is a Year of the Horse, you said true. Is it true or false?

The next one. Avatar took over £200 million... You said false.

Pete would have got you to change that. Is it true or false?

It is false.

It took £91 million at the UK box office,

-so Pete would have been out of here with you with no cash.

-Which makes me feel a bit better.

So let's just clear up the last one, the one you were fairly confident on because you're into bodybuilding...

If this is right, that means I've only got one wrong!

Which way do you want this to go?

I don't know! It's the same thing either way, isn't it?

You said true. Is it true or false?

Oh, that's better! We like that.

It's false.

It actually contains between sort of 12% to 15% protein,

so it didn't make any difference whether Pete came down and joined you either way, I'm afraid.

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

-Have you enjoyed playing, though?

-It's been brilliant. I really had a good day. Thank you.

-Nick!

-APPLAUSE Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

Well, 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 £7,000, but, remember, on this show, we only pay for perfection! Goodbye.
