0:00:00 > 0:00:03Welcome to the quiz show that demands nothing less than perfection.
0:00:03 > 0:00:07Here are four contestants who hope their knowledge is flawless.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10A single mistake could give the game away.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12This is Perfection.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to the show where only perfect play is good enough.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Behind me are the contestants, "the usual suspects".
0:00:29 > 0:00:34They're in an isolation room. One of them will be randomly selected to join me.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37They'll face a series of true or false statements.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39For example, if I said...
0:00:40 > 0:00:43..would you say that's true or false?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46If you'd said true, I can tell you you'd be right.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Answering true or false might seem easy,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51but if the contestant gets one answer wrong,
0:00:51 > 0:00:57their opponents, the usual suspects, will come into the game to capitalise on their mistake.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00That's how the game works. Let's meet the usual suspects.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07Hi. I'm Naomi, a customer services manager from the west of Ireland. This is my first game.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Matthew, a barrister. I live in south London and this is my first game.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hello. My name's Mike. I'm retired.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17I'm from Poulton-le-Fylde near Blackpool. This is my second game.
0:01:17 > 0:01:23Hi, I'm Corrine. I work in tele-marketing. I live in York and this is my eighth game.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Welcome, especially to Naomi and Matthew, who are new to the game.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Naomi, what do you think of your co-conspirators?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I've got them sussed. Corrine's nearly set up shop.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- She's an old hand!- I am!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Taken root, yes! Matthew, looking forward to playing?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Yes. I only came in for the warm!
0:01:42 > 0:01:47I hope we manage to keep you nice and comfy whilst you're here. Welcome to you all.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Best of luck as we now find out which of you will be randomly picked to play Perfection.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Corrine, it's you, finally.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59You've been chosen to play Perfection!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Welcome to the game.- Hi, Nick. - Nice to be out here?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06It certainly is, after eight...
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Longest serving usual suspect. - Really? Gosh!- Corrine,
0:02:10 > 0:02:15it's you versus the usual suspects. They were your team mates, now they're your enemies.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Yes.- Their job is to stop you winning the money.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Your failure means the prize money rolls over so one of them could be playing for a bigger total.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- You don't want that.- Absolutely not. - Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.
0:02:27 > 0:02:35The good news is nobody's won the past eight games, so the prize money stands at £9,000.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Yes! APPLAUSE
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Handy?- Very. - What would you spend it on?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I'm planning a big holiday with my husband.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- We're both having special birthdays. - Special birthdays?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Special birthdays!- Right. - And we both love music.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56So we're hoping to go to New Orleans, Nashville and Memphis.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Great road trip.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Good luck.- Thank you. - Here's how it works.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05You play three rounds, then a final. Every round you achieve perfection makes the final easier.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10If your performance is less than perfect, the usual suspects have a chance to step in,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12making the final that much harder for you.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15More of that later. Usual suspects, we'll switch you off
0:03:15 > 0:03:18so you can't see or hear anything. Away they go.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Corrine, you can now talk through your answers without giving anything away.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Yes.- Each round consists of four true or false statements.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31You're against the clock. You have 45 seconds. Once you give your first answer,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- it's locked in.- Yep.- Ready?- I am. - Good. Let's play Perfection.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- True.- True.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- True.- True.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Not sure about this one.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- False.- False.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I know for a fact it's not made from dates!
0:04:08 > 0:04:09- False.- False.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15And within the allotted time, you've answered all four statements.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- You're certain about rum not being made from dates?- Oh, yes.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Do you know what it's made from, if not dates?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Sugar cane.- OK. Before we reveal how well you've done,
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- let's bring back the usual suspects. They can hear everything from now on.- OK.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Usual suspects, these are the four statements.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Next to them are Corrine's answers. Naomi, has she achieved perfection?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41She's done pretty well, but I'm not sure about A.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43OK. The moment of truth.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46You need to have answered all four to have won the round.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48How many are correct?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Just the one correct. A long way short of perfection.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Because you didn't manage perfection,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00you've let the usual suspects into the game.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Usual suspects, you can steal the round. You need to change three of Corrine's answers.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Which three will it be?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Rum isn't made from dates, is it?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It's made from molasses.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14So that one's right.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Wasn't Colin Powell the US Defense Secretary?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20He wasn't secretary of state. That was Condoleezza Rice.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- What about rum? She's got one right. - But molasses?
0:05:23 > 0:05:29- Rum is made from molasses, a sugar sort of thing.- Could you not get that from dates?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- The dark colour. - Molasses is dark and dates...
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- So which ones do you want...- I'd say A, C and D, to be honest, are wrong.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45- I'm with Matthew on that. - Because I'm sure Colin Powell was Defense Secretary.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- So we want to change A.- Yes.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49And we want to change C and D.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51A changes from true to false.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54C changes from false to true.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56D changes from false to true.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Leaving B as answered by Corrine.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06Let's see what the correct answers are. If a statement turns green, it's true, red, it's false.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It is false.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16He's the BBC News business editor, in actual fact.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I'm sure he's a good cook at home, but he's not a TV chef!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Colin Powell served as US Defense Secretary.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26You stuck with true on that one. You want it to turn green.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Is it true or false?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Sorry, Mike.- Sorry, Mike! - It's false.- It's all right.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35He was secretary of state.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Oh, he was.- So, usual suspects, you've failed to steal the round
0:06:39 > 0:06:45because you didn't achieve perfection. How did you do at home? Let's carry on and check it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48The port of Rostock is in Germany. True or false?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It is true.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- You know where this is going! - Yes.- Rum is made from dates. True or false?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's false.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It's made from sugar cane or molasses from sugar cane.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Ah, OK.- Usual suspects, had you achieved perfection,
0:07:03 > 0:07:09you'd have the opportunity to make Corrine's chance of winning the prize much harder. Here's how.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Corrine, this is your final board.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14The six blank spaces will be filled with categories.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Behind each category is a true or false statement.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21You need to answer all six correctly to win the prize. Here are the final round categories.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Take a look. Film stars, cartoons, chemicals, there's a right old mix.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32Had you achieved perfection, you could now add two categories of your choice to the board.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36But as neither side won the round, the two categories that were to be chosen
0:07:36 > 0:07:40will be carried to the next round, so the full categories will be on offer.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Usual suspects, it's time to switch you off. See you in Round Two.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Now the usual suspects have gone,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50which of those categories would you really not want to get?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Rappers.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- Chemicals I'm probably not so keen on.- OK.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- Ready for next round?- Yep.- Good. Let's play Round Two.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03APPLAUSE
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- True. True.- True.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- False.- False.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- False.- False.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- True.- True.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Plenty of time to spare. Almost half the time.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40You've answered all four statements.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Before we reveal how you've done, let's ask the usual suspects what they have to say.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Usual suspects, these are the four statements
0:08:47 > 0:08:50with Corrine's answers.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55- Mike, has she achieved perfection? - I don't think she has.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I think she's got the wrong answer for C.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02OK. Corrine, let's find out how many you've got right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Three of the four. Close, but again you need absolute perfection to take the round.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19Usual suspects, can you steal the round? You can see her answers. You need to change one. But which one?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- I think the wrong one is C. - Yes, I think so.- Yep.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26We're all agreed that the wrong answer is C.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- You'd like to change C from false to true.- Correct.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Thank you. A, B and D remain the same as Corrine's original answers.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It is true.
0:09:42 > 0:09:48"Red Admiral is a common type of ladybird." True or false?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51It is false. It is, of course, a type of butterfly.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Moving on.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57This is the one you changed. "British sign language is different from American."
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Is that true or false?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05It is true. You know where this is going.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08"Warwickshire Cricket Club's home is Edgbaston." True or false?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It is, of course, true. Congratulations, usual suspects.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13You have achieved perfection.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16APPLAUSE
0:10:18 > 0:10:24That's a disaster for Corrine. The usual suspects have succeeded and stolen the round.
0:10:24 > 0:10:30You can make Corrine's chances of winning the prize fund of £9,000 quite a bit harder.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Let's see the final board.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Because usual suspects won the round, you have the right to choose four categories to add to the board.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Two from the first round and two from the round we've just played.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Which four would you like Corrine to play in the final?- Rappers.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Yeah.- I can't see Corrine knows any rap bands.
0:10:49 > 0:10:55- Let's take that across. Rappers goes in at number one.- Olympics. - Yeah, Olympics, we think.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Olympics. Two more to choose.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- I don't know. Hell?- Hell.- Hell.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Hell going in.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Do you reckon tax?- Are we having tax?- Let's just have tax.- Go on.
0:11:05 > 0:11:11Tax moves back to be right next to hell again! Congratulations, you've won the second round.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15We'll switch you off and see you in Round Three.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Corrine, they were reading your mind!- Hmm. Nice(!)
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Positive thinking? - Absolutely.- Great.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Let's play Round Three.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26And your 45 seconds start now.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38- True.- True.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- I don't know this, so I'll go with true.- True.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- That's false.- False.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- That's true.- True.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08Again, with time to spare, you answered all four statements. Good?
0:12:08 > 0:12:13C and D I feel fairly confident about.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I think German football is played in the Bundesliga.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- A and B are more of a worry? - Yeah. I didn't know those.- OK.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Before we see how you've done, let's bring back the usual suspects.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29Usual suspects, these are four the statements and next to them, Corrine's answers.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Matthew, what do you reckon? - I think she's done quite well.
0:12:32 > 0:12:39I think C is right. I think the Hanseatic League is a form of military operation.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Interesting. So, Corrine, the moment of truth.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to win the round.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Close, but close isn't good enough.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02I'm afraid you haven't quite managed the perfect round. As a result,
0:13:02 > 0:13:07you've handed your enemies an opportunity. Usual suspects, you see Corrine's answers.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09You need to change just one.
0:13:09 > 0:13:16- I'm pretty sure on C and D.- I think A is right. It makes sense. - Trireme, three hulls.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Do we think B is wrong? - We think B is wrong, Nick.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- You'd like to change B from true to false.- We would.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Leaving A, C and D as answered by Corrine.- Correct.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Let's find out what the correct answers are. "A trireme was a Greek warship with three hulls."
0:13:30 > 0:13:33You thought Corrine was right, so you need it to turn green.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35True or false?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40It's actually false. Good thinking on the tri,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44in as much as tri does mean three, obviously.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49But it was actually about three rows of oars, up the side of the ship.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Have you managed to achieve perfection at home? Let's find out for you.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56"Archie Shepp is a famous jazz saxophonist." True or false?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58It is true.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01"German football teams play in the Hanseatic League."
0:14:01 > 0:14:05No, they play in the Bundesliga.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08And "Oliver Reed played Bill Sikes in the film Oliver!" True or false?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11We now know that it's true. So, usual suspects,
0:14:11 > 0:14:17had you achieved perfection, you'd now have the opportunity to make Corrine's chance of winning harder.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20You could have chosen all her subjects.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24You only managed to win Round Three. So we have two spaces still to be filled.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28To fill those blank spaces, you take it in turn to choose a category.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Corrine, you get to choose first.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32What do you fancy to take across?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36I'll go with 1950s, please.
0:14:36 > 0:14:381950s moves across.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Usual suspects, you get to choose the last category that you think will trouble Corrine.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- What do we think on this?- Chemicals?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- I feel chemicals.- Yes.
0:14:47 > 0:14:54- Right, Nick, we're going to choose for the final category, chemicals. - Thank you. Chemicals moves across.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Thanks, guys(!)
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Corrine's happy with that! We now know our six final categories:
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Usual suspects, we'll switch you off for the final time.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Think you can do this?- Course I can! - Course you can!
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Especially with £9,000 up for grabs! - Absolutely!
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Let's play the final.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Corrine, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26you could be leaving with a prize fund of £9,000.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31If you fail, you leave with nothing, which would be great news for the usual suspects
0:15:31 > 0:15:36as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £10,000 in the next game.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Are you ready?- I'm as ready as I'll ever be.- Let's play the final round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Corrine, here are your final six categories.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £9,000.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56- Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, it's locked in. Ready?- Yep.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Let's reveal your first statement. Is it true or false?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I know she's married to him.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12And I think it was in 2008.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- So I'll go for true.- True.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28She did represent Britain.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29True.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31True.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32True.
0:16:38 > 0:16:46- I haven't a clue about this. So I think I'll choose false.- False.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57There is something about Jersey where there's something to do with tax.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59But I don't know whether they're exempt.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Surely they pay something!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'll go for false.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07False.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10The only subject you chose for your final now, the 1950s.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I'm almost certain I know this.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21I think he was a racing car driver.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25So that's not true, it's false.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26False.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42Obviously it's an aerosol. It's pressurised, so there's some gas.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- I'll say true.- True.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Corrine, those answers are now locked in. If there is one mistake,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56you leave with nothing.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Let's bring back the usual suspects, to see what they have to say.
0:18:00 > 0:18:06Usual suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Corrine's answers.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Corrine, your answers are locked in.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14But if you think you made a mistake, you can unlock the board with the help of the usual suspects.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19But at a cost. Remember, you can't refer to any of the statements specifically.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Usual suspects, I'll ask you to tell me how well you think Corrine has done,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27if you want to help, and if so, how much it will cost.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- Corrine. Who would you like to hear from first?- Mike, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I think you've done very well there, Corrine.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I can't really help you, I'm afraid, on this occasion,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- but I think you've done very well. - Thanks.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Naomi, please.
0:18:45 > 0:18:52I think, Corrine, that you have possibly got two wrong.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57- But, like Mike, I wouldn't be willing to come down either.- OK.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Thanks for your honesty.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- Matthew?- Hi, Corrine.- Hi.- I think it's a bit of a pick'n'mix, really.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07There are two that I'm not convinced you've got right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'm not sure I'm able to come down,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- but I think if you've got all six right, you deserve the money!- OK.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18- None of you will come down, no matter what the offer is? - Afraid not.- Sorry.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Thanks very much, anyway. - That's concluded negotiations.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26None of them are willing to come down and help. So you're on your own.
0:19:26 > 0:19:34£9,000 at stake. Six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41If the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52We'd like it to turn green for you, to get off to a good start.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Is it true or false?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It is true!
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- That was my worst one.- Your worst one? Your biggest worry? - I didn't want rappers.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07You didn't want rappers, and you got it right.
0:20:07 > 0:20:14So it's a good start. Zola Budd represented Britain at only one Olympics.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18You thought about it, thought that was probably true, too.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21You answered true. Again, we need this to turn green
0:20:21 > 0:20:23to keep you on your way to the money.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Is it true or false?- I can't look!
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Look up!
0:20:30 > 0:20:331984, Los Angeles. Very good. Two out of two.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38A third of the way to £9,000, almost like you've earned £3,000!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40That's fine. Can I have that?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44You can't have it in bits! You have to achieve perfection. Let's press on.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- You thought about this. - I haven't got a clue.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- It was a guess? - Absolutely. I don't know.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- I don't know.- You guessed false.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00We need this to turn red to get you half-way towards the money.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02True or false?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- It's false.- Oh!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Tartarus was part of the underworld in Greek myth.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Half-way to £9,000. Doing it all on your own, as well.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24You certainly seemed aware that there are differences about Jersey,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27but you thought they paid some income tax. "They must do".
0:21:27 > 0:21:31So you went for false. Is that true or false?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It's false.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42There are some taxes like capital gains tax that they don't pay, but they do pay income tax.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47So, two questions away from £9,000.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56- What did you think he was?- I thought Fangio was a racing driver in the '50s.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02So you went for false. If it turns green no money at all.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05If it goes red,
0:22:05 > 0:22:12you're only one statement away from £9,000.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18So, "Juan Manuel Fangio was a surrealist artist." Is that true or false?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Argentinean racing driver.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Won World Championships during the '50s.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You were absolutely right.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Well, well. Look where we are.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40All on your own, you've got five out of the six.
0:22:40 > 0:22:46Just one statement standing between you and £9,000.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51"Laughing gas is used in cans of whipped cream."
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- A guess?- Absolutely. I don't know.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56- A total guess.- Absolutely.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02So basically, £9,000 or nothing is resting on this guess?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03You answered true.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Therefore, you need this to turn green.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09If it turns green, you've won £9,000 all on your own.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13If it turns red, you go home with nothing.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17"Laughing gas is used in cans of whipped cream."
0:23:17 > 0:23:24For £9,000 is that true or false?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Please hurry up!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37It is true!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You've won £9,000!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- I don't believe it!- £9,000!
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I can't... I don't believe it!
0:23:52 > 0:23:57- That's very cool, isn't it? - Yeah!- You did it all on your own as well!- I know!
0:23:57 > 0:24:02- I never thought I could. - You've proved it to everybody. That £9,000 is big, yes?
0:24:02 > 0:24:06It's not just the money, no. It's just getting them right!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Handy, though, the money! - Very handy!
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Unfortunately, usual suspects, the prize fund has been won,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15so we re-set the total back to £1,000 in the next game.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Bad news for you, but fantastic news for Corrine.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Congratulations. Ladies and gentlemen, Corrine, going home with £9,000!
0:24:24 > 0:24:30It's now time to meet the next usual suspects hoping to play Perfection today.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Usual suspect, please introduce yourself.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Hello. I'm Aidan. I'm a funeral director from Hyde, Greater Manchester.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44Welcome. There's a certain look that goes when you introduce yourself with that job!
0:24:44 > 0:24:47There is. They give you funny looks, especially older people!
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Thank you!
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Right, we'd better move along pretty quickly there!
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Best of luck to you all.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00We now find out which one of you will be randomly picked to play Perfection.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Aidan, it is, in fact, you!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08You have been chosen. Please come and play Perfection.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Aidan, welcome to the game.- Aye. - It's you versus the usual suspects.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19They were your team-mates, briefly. Now they're enemies. Every game is worth £1,000.
0:25:19 > 0:25:26Unfortunately, the previous game was won, so the prize fund is re-set to £1,000.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32What would you spend it on, if you walked out with £1,000?
0:25:32 > 0:25:37I'd like to buy some equipment for my son. He's disabled and we'd like to buy a trike for him,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- but they're quite a lot of money. - Are they?- Two or three grand.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- So I'd put it towards that. - OK. Good for you.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- I hope you do well.- Thank you. - Three rounds
0:25:46 > 0:25:47and a final to come.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Usual suspects, we'll switch you off for now.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54As soon as Aidan makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Aidan, you can now talk without giving away vital knowledge. OK?
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- OK, yeah.- Shall we start?- Yep, may as well!- Let's play Perfection.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14- True.- True.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- I would say false.- False.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- True.- True.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- True.- True.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49With time to spare, you answered all four statements. Good round?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Yeah, a little bit guessy, but you never know.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57You never know. Before we see how you've done, let's bring back the usual suspects.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02So, usual suspects, these were the four statements, with Aidan's answers.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Naomi, has he achieved perfection?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09I think he could be close, but I'm not convinced about B.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Matthew?- I think he's close as well, but I'm not convinced about B.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18- Mike?- I think, again, that B could well be true.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Interesting. They all believe you got the same one wrong.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25You need to have answered all four perfectly to have won the round.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Let's find out how many are correct.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Three of the four means that you have not achieved perfection.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39So you let the usual suspects into the game.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Usual suspects, you can steal the round.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You can see Aidan's answers. You need to change just one.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I've got an idea where you're going!
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- B?- B. Change B.- Change B, I think.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52We'll change B, Nick.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Lovely. B changes from false to true
0:27:54 > 0:27:56leaving A, C and D as Aidan answered.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:28:05 > 0:28:11"There is a street in London called Little Britain." This is the one that makes the difference.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Is it true or false?
0:28:16 > 0:28:22It is true. It's near St Paul's. It's mentioned in Dickens' Great Expectations.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26"Mikhail Gorbachev was arrested during a 1991 coup." True or false?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29True. You know how this one's going to go, too.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33"In Superman's first comic strips, he couldn't fly." True.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Congratulations, usual suspects, you've achieved perfection.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39APPLAUSE
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Aidan, they've succeeded where you failed. They've stolen the round. Usual suspects,
0:28:45 > 0:28:51you have the opportunity to make Aidan's chances of winning much harder in the final. Here's how.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Aidan, here are your final round categories.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59Ranging through African politics, armed forces, peers, et cetera.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Which two would you like Aidan to play in the final?
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- What about African politics? - Yes.- Yes, African politics.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Unless it's something simple, it could be really difficult.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- That's going across. - African politics.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14- Peers or the Arts.- Peers.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- Yes, that could be quite... - Interesting. Yeah.- OK.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23- So peers is going across, too. - Peers across.- Well done, usual suspects.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25We'll switch you off, but see you in Round Two.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Aidan, with the usual suspects gone,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30what do you think of those choices?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32- African politics?- Eugh!
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Not very good! It's not a great board in general for me, really.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- You're up against it, then.- I am. - It's only the first round.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Two more rounds to find perfection and choose your own categories.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- Ready for the next round?- Yes. - Good. Let's play Round Two.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- I would say false.- False.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- True.- True.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- I'll say false.- False.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Battle of the Bulge?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- True.- True.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- You didn't seem quite so confident in that round.- No, no.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40The Battle of the Bulge. No. I have that when I put my trousers on!
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Before we see how you've done, let's bring back the usual suspects.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Usual suspects, these are the four statements
0:30:47 > 0:30:50and next to them are Aidan's answers.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Mike, how's he done?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I'm sure that he's got B wrong
0:30:55 > 0:30:58because the theme tune to Mastermind is called Approaching Menace.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Interesting. Aidan, the moment of truth.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04You need to have answered all four perfectly to win the round.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Let's find out how many are right.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Ooh, you've not got past one,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15which means you've failed to achieve perfection.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18You've let the usual suspects into the game.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22You see Aidan's answers. You need to change three of them.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25France is true - it a UN Security Council permanent member.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- You think Mastermind? - That is definitely false.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- OK, so what about the...- Woman in space.- Was she Russian?- Was she?
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- I think she was.- Either Russian or American.- Tereshkova, was she called?
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- In which case the Battle of the Bulge is wrong.- It's wrong.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- We want to change A to true. - A changes from false to true.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- B from true to false. - B from true to false.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- And now we think that D needs to be false.- Yes.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55So D changes from true to false
0:31:55 > 0:31:58leaving C as Aidan answered.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04France is a UN Security Council permanent member. True or false?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06It is true.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10The theme tune to Mastermind is called Why Me? True or false?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13It's false. What did you say you thought it was, Mike?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Approaching Menace. - You're absolutely right.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19This is where we find out if you've won the round or not.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23The first woman in space was an American. True or false?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27It's false.
0:32:27 > 0:32:33- It was a Russian. Valentina Tereshkova.- Yep.- Very good, Mike.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36The Battle of the Bulge took place in North Africa. True or false?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38False, in fact.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- America?- Europe. Congratulations, usual suspects. Perfection.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Well done.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Oh, dear. The usual suspects have succeeded where you failed.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- It's not looking good.- No.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55They stole the round. Usual suspects have the opportunity
0:32:55 > 0:32:59to make Aidan's chances of winning the prize fund that much harder.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Two categories on there you've chosen, usual suspects.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Because you won that round, you can choose the next two categories.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- What are they going to be? - We thought newsreaders. - TV newsreaders.- OK.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Arts or Languages.- Languages. - Languages.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Languages, Nick.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Languages goes across and that's four of six.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24Congratulations, usual suspects. You've won the first two rounds.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26We'll see you in Round Three.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27Aidan,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30if you're ready, we'll play Round Three.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- False.- False.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- True.- True.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Not sure. False.- False.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- False.- False.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Time to spare. You've answered four statements.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Before we see how you've done, let's bring back the usual suspects.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28These were the four statements. Next to them are Aidan's answers.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Matthew, has he achieved perfection? - I'm afraid not, Nick.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I'm not convinced about D.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- But then I might be going down a route of my own!- OK. Aidan,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40you need to have answered all four perfectly
0:34:40 > 0:34:43to have won the round. Let's see how many are correct.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Three out of four isn't good enough, I'm afraid.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Usual suspects, you can steal the round. You stole the last two.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Can you steal the third one, too? You need to change one answer.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04A is right, cos they're found in Madagascar.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05He's got that right.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09C is definitely right, cos it's set in advertising.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11So we've got to change B or D.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Doner doesn't mean rotating, so it's false. I don't think it does.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19There's shish kebab and doner kebab, two different meats.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22I don't know. I don't think Montgomery was called Bernard.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- I think change B. - Yes, we'll change B, Nick.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27B changes from true to false.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30A, C and D remain as answered by Aidan. Usual suspects,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32let's see the correct answers.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36"Lemurs are found exclusively in Sri Lanka." True or false?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39It is false.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Native to Madagascar. Well done, Matthew.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45"Montgomery's first name was Bernard." This is the one you changed.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Have you stolen the round or not? Is it true or false?
0:35:51 > 0:35:57- It's true.- Sorry.- Usual suspects, you had the chance, but you failed to achieve perfection.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Have you achieved perfection at home? Let's find out.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04"The US TV series Mad Men is set in the air force." True or false?
0:36:04 > 0:36:08It is set in an advertising agency, Naomi, you were right.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13"In the name doner kebab, doner means rotating." True or false?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15It is true.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18So, usual suspects, had you achieved perfection,
0:36:18 > 0:36:22you'd have been able to make Aidan's chance of winning the prize much harder.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Let's look at the board.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Nobody won Round Three
0:36:26 > 0:36:29so we have two blank spaces still to be filled.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32To fill them, we'll take it in turn to choose a category. So,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Aidan, as a single player, you will choose first.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- I'll go for Books. - Books goes across.
0:36:37 > 0:36:42Usual suspects, please choose a category you think will trouble Aidan.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46- Weather might...- Weather, yeah. - Weather.- Thank you very much.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Weather goes as the sixth and final category in the final.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51We now know the six final categories.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Usual suspects, we'll switch you off for the final time.
0:37:00 > 0:37:06Here's an interesting stat for you. You've only got one subject chosen in the final six.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07So you'll be up against it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10But the game just played before you by Corrine,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13she also only had one of her own chosen subjects in there.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16She took home the cash. So, Aidan,
0:37:16 > 0:37:19with £1,000 to play for, it's time to play the final.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23This is the all-important final.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27If you achieve perfection, you win the prize fund of £1,000.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30If you fail, you get nothing, great news for the usual suspects,
0:37:30 > 0:37:33as one of them could be playing for £2,000.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Ready?- Yep, as I'll ever be. - Good. Let's play the final round.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Aidan, here are your final six categories.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £1,000.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, it's locked in.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Let's reveal your first statement. Is it true or false?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06It's a complete guess. I'm just going to say true.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08True.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Isn't Wigton a book town somewhere?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23True.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25True.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36She's been going some time.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- True.- True.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- True.- True.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00True.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03True. Finally, weather.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12True.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14A complete guess!
0:39:14 > 0:39:19True. Those answers are locked in. You have a full line of trues.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Remember, if there is one single mistake, you leave with nothing.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Let's switch on the usual suspects.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Usual suspects, you can see the final six statements
0:39:28 > 0:39:31and next to them, Aidan's answers.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Aidan, your answers are locked in and you can't change them by yourself.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39But you can unlock them with the help of the usual suspects.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41This will, however, come at a cost.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46Remember, all of you, you can't refer to any of the statements specifically.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Usual suspects, I'm going to ask you how well you think Aidan has done,
0:39:50 > 0:39:53if you want to help, and if you do, how much it will cost.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- Aidan, who would you like to hear from first?- I'll go for Mike first.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00You've done pretty well. I think you've definitely got one wrong
0:40:00 > 0:40:06and also I'm not too sure about another couple.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- Do you want to come down for an amount of cash?- No,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12I won't risk it on this occasion, Nick.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- Mike's out of the negotiations. Where next?- Matthew, please.
0:40:16 > 0:40:22Hi, Aidan. I think you've got three wrong. But I'm not sure on the third.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25So I probably won't come down.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Is that because you're not sure
0:40:27 > 0:40:30or because you'd like it to roll over as £1,000 isn't enough to share?
0:40:30 > 0:40:34You might think that, Nick. I couldn't possibly comment.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36- OK. Next?- Naomi.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Well, I'll be honest, Aidan.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43I think that you have two that are wrong.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46But as Nick kind of said,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48I would quite like it to roll over.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Yep, I'm not surprised, really.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56- I think fairly early on we realised negotiations weren't going to get very far on this one.- No.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00None of the usual suspects are willing to come down and help.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02So it appears you're on your own.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Yes.- £1,000 at stake. Six answers away.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13If a statement turns green, it's true. If it's red, it's false.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17"Canaan Banana was once the President of Zimbabwe."
0:41:17 > 0:41:21You answered true. We need it to turn green to get you underway.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22True or false?
0:41:22 > 0:41:24It's true.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Well...- 1980 to '87.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Well done. Let's see if we can keep that momentum going.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33"Melvyn Bragg's title is Baron Bragg of Wigton."
0:41:33 > 0:41:36You thought for a bit and then said, pretty much, "Why not?"
0:41:36 > 0:41:41- Yeah. Cos I think Wigton is a book town in Scotland.- Well,
0:41:41 > 0:41:45you said true. We want this to turn green to keep you on the way to the money.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49It's true.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Made a life peer in 1998.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57"Angela Rippon was the UK's first female newsreader."
0:41:57 > 0:42:01- You said that could be true. - A complete guess again.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04We need another green. Is it true or false?
0:42:07 > 0:42:13I'm afraid it's false. Barbara Mandell was the UK's first female newsreader
0:42:13 > 0:42:16in 1955.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18So a good bit before Angela Rippon.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21I'm afraid you haven't managed to achieve perfection
0:42:21 > 0:42:23and it means you go home with no money at all.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28Have you achieved perfection at home? Let's press on for you to see if you're right.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31"The word 'Eureka' means 'I have found it' in Latin."
0:42:31 > 0:42:34You said true. Is it true or false?
0:42:35 > 0:42:40It's false, I'm afraid. 'Eureka' is Greek.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43"How To Stay Married is a book by Jilly Cooper."
0:42:43 > 0:42:46This was the one that you chose for yourself.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- Read many Jilly Coopers? - No, it's not my cup of tea!
0:42:50 > 0:42:52I didn't think you were expecting that.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Nonetheless, you answered true. Is it true or false?
0:42:56 > 0:43:00True. It's a guide she wrote before writing her novels.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01Good for you.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06"A gale is force 12 on the UK Beaufort Scale." True or false?
0:43:06 > 0:43:09You said true. I'm afraid not.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Force 8 is a gale.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15- Force 12, actually, is hurricane. - Right.- So there you go.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Usual suspects, great news for you. The prize fund rolls over.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22One of you could be playing for £2,000.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25- It's all worked out very well in the end, hasn't it?- Yes.- Yes.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29Aidan, you failed to achieve perfection, so you go home with nothing.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- I hope you enjoyed playing the game. - Yes, I did, yes.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34- Let's hear it for Aidan.- Thanks.
0:43:34 > 0:43:41That's all we've time for. Join us next time when our usual suspects have a chance to play again,
0:43:41 > 0:43:43this time for £2,000.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47But remember on this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye!
