Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

0:00:020:00:05

We have four contestants who hope their knowledge is flawless. One mistake could give the game away.

0:00:050:00:11

This is Perfection.

0:00:110:00:13

APPLAUSE

0:00:210:00:23

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

0:00:230:00:27

Behind me are the contestants called the Usual Suspects. They're in our isolation room.

0:00:270:00:33

One will be randomly selected to play Perfection. Then they face a series of true or false statements.

0:00:330:00:39

If I said, "Romeo And Juliet is set in Verona,"

0:00:390:00:42

would you say that's true or false?

0:00:420:00:45

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

0:00:450:00:48

Answering "true" or "false" might seem easy,

0:00:480:00:52

but if a contestant gets an answer wrong, their opponents can join the game to capitalise on their mistake.

0:00:520:00:58

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

0:00:580:01:02

I'm Guy, a web producer from South London, and this is my first game.

0:01:020:01:07

I'm Naomi, a customer services manager from the west of Ireland, and this is my third game.

0:01:070:01:13

My name is Matthew, I'm a barrister from South London, and this is also my third game.

0:01:130:01:18

Hello, my name is Mike. I'm retired, from Poulton-le-Fylde near Blackpool, and this is my fourth game.

0:01:180:01:24

OK, welcome to you all.

0:01:240:01:26

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

0:01:260:01:31

Matthew, you've been chosen.

0:01:330:01:35

-Please come and play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

0:01:350:01:39

-Matthew, welcome to the game.

-Hello.

0:01:390:01:41

-A barrister. A lot of study goes into that?

-Yes.

-Good school grades,

0:01:410:01:45

then university to do a law degree, a couple of years at law school,

0:01:450:01:49

-then you have to go and...?

-Then you've got to get a pupillage.

0:01:490:01:53

-Then you leave to go into politics?

-That's what the last but one Prime Minister did.

0:01:530:01:58

-Will you stick with it or go into politics?

-I won't go into politics. I've got more sense.

0:01:580:02:03

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

0:02:030:02:07

They're now your enemies. Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund

0:02:070:02:12

as your failure would mean the prize money rolls over to the next game

0:02:120:02:16

-where one of them could be playing for a bigger total. You wouldn't want that.

-They're nice, but no.

0:02:160:02:22

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

0:02:220:02:25

Here's the good news. Nobody's won the last game, so the prize fund currently stands at £2,000.

0:02:250:02:31

So if you walk away with £2,000, what's it going to be spent on?

0:02:320:02:36

Because they have supported me through my legal studies, I'd probably send my parents to Venice.

0:02:360:02:42

That's very nice. Here's how the game works. You'll play three rounds, then a final.

0:02:420:02:47

Every round you achieve perfection will make the final easier for you.

0:02:470:02:51

But if your performance is less than perfect, the Usual Suspects can step in and steal the round,

0:02:510:02:57

making the final that much harder.

0:02:570:03:00

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

0:03:000:03:06

-You can talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge. OK?

-Yeah.

0:03:060:03:11

Each round consists of four "true or false" statements.

0:03:110:03:14

-You'll only have 45 seconds and once you've given your first answer, it'll be locked in. Ready?

-Mm-hm.

0:03:140:03:21

Good. Let's play Perfection.

0:03:210:03:23

APPLAUSE

0:03:230:03:25

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:03:250:03:28

-False.

-False.

0:03:320:03:35

I have no idea. Um...

0:03:390:03:42

-False.

-False.

0:03:450:03:47

-That's false.

-False.

0:03:520:03:55

-Let's say "true" on that, shall we?

-True?

-Yeah.

0:04:000:04:03

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

0:04:030:04:06

-We gave you a little laugh along the way.

-Hmm. Yeah.

-Which one?

0:04:060:04:10

I don't know anything about B

0:04:100:04:13

and C, "pugilists", in a bizarre way, I'd like them to be called that.

0:04:130:04:17

Before we reveal how well you've done, let's bring back the Usual Suspects. They can hear you now.

0:04:170:04:23

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

0:04:230:04:29

I think B could be true and I'm not quite sure about A.

0:04:290:04:34

But on balance, he's probably right.

0:04:340:04:36

They're not sure that you've achieved perfection. You need all four correct to win the round.

0:04:360:04:42

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

0:04:420:04:45

Three out of four is close, but it's not perfection.

0:04:500:04:53

You let the Usual Suspects into the game. Can you steal the round?

0:04:530:04:57

You can see Matthew's answers. You need to change just one of them.

0:04:570:05:01

-C is definitely false.

-Yeah.

-They're boxers.

0:05:010:05:05

-And I think D is true as well.

-It's true as well.

0:05:060:05:10

-So it's between A and B.

-I'd go B probably.

-B?

-Would you?

0:05:100:05:14

-What are you going to change?

-B, Nick.

0:05:140:05:17

Lovely. B changes from "false" to "true", leaving A, C and D as answered by Matthew.

0:05:170:05:22

Let's find out what the answers are. If the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.

0:05:220:05:28

"There are over 300 MSPs in the Scottish Parliament." Is that true or false?

0:05:280:05:34

It's false. There are 129.

0:05:340:05:36

"Ghostbusters was a hit single for Billy Ocean." Is that true or false?

0:05:360:05:41

It's false...in actual fact.

0:05:420:05:46

-Oh.

-Ray Parker Junior. Does that ring any bells? Ray Parker Junior?

0:05:460:05:49

-Anybody?

-Yeah.

-No.

-No.

0:05:490:05:53

Usual Suspects, you have failed to achieve perfection and failed to steal the round.

0:05:530:05:58

How are you doing at home? Are you still on for perfection?

0:05:580:06:01

"People who build church pews are called pugilists." True or false?

0:06:010:06:05

Yeah, it's false. It's boxers, obviously, pugilists.

0:06:050:06:09

"Ben Johnson was disqualified from the 1984 Olympics." True or false?

0:06:090:06:15

False. 1988 in Seoul was where he was disqualified.

0:06:160:06:20

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection, you would now have the opportunity

0:06:200:06:25

to make Matthew's chances of winning the prize fund harder.

0:06:250:06:29

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

0:06:290:06:34

Behind each category will be a "true or false" statement.

0:06:340:06:38

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

0:06:380:06:42

Here are the final round categories.

0:06:420:06:45

Had you achieved perfection, you could have added two categories to the board.

0:06:470:06:53

Because neither side won the round, the two categories due to be chosen

0:06:530:06:57

will now be carried over to the next round.

0:06:570:07:00

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 2. And away they go.

0:07:000:07:05

Matthew, now that the Usual Suspects can't hear you, what do you make of the categories?

0:07:050:07:10

My modern pop probably stops with something like George Formby,

0:07:100:07:15

so probably not that.

0:07:150:07:18

-Ready for the next round?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round 2.

0:07:180:07:21

APPLAUSE

0:07:210:07:23

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:07:230:07:26

Was it 20th century?

0:07:300:07:32

Or was it earlier?

0:07:320:07:35

Or was it later?

0:07:370:07:39

It couldn't be later, could it? That's stupid.

0:07:390:07:42

Um...

0:07:420:07:44

-False.

-False.

0:07:440:07:46

-True.

-True.

0:07:490:07:51

-False.

-False.

0:07:540:07:56

-True.

-True.

0:08:010:08:03

With plenty time to spare, despite taking a while over the first one, you've answered all four statements.

0:08:030:08:09

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

0:08:090:08:14

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

0:08:140:08:18

Mike, has he achieved perfection?

0:08:180:08:20

No, he hasn't because I think B is wrong.

0:08:200:08:25

-"James Last is a famous flautist." It's James Galway that is a famous flautist.

-Right. Guy?

0:08:250:08:31

I think he's probably right on the other three,

0:08:310:08:35

but again I think B, especially with Mike's wisdom, could be the wrong 'un.

0:08:350:08:40

Right, Matthew, let's find out how many are correct.

0:08:400:08:44

Three out of four is simply not good enough, Matthew.

0:08:490:08:53

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

0:08:530:08:56

Can you steal the round? You can see Matthew's answers.

0:08:560:08:59

You need to change just one. I wonder which one you're going to change?

0:08:590:09:04

-B?

-You sound pretty confident.

0:09:040:09:07

James Last could be a flautist as well,

0:09:070:09:11

but I think that's James Galway.

0:09:110:09:14

Two flautists called James - that's absurd(!)

0:09:140:09:18

So I think we'll change B to "false", Nick, please.

0:09:180:09:22

B changes from "true" to "false", leaving A, C and D as Matthew originally answered.

0:09:220:09:28

Let's find out the correct answers.

0:09:280:09:30

"Dr Crippen was a pioneering 20th century surgeon." True or false?

0:09:300:09:34

False. He was a homeopathic doctor accused of murdering his wife.

0:09:340:09:40

"James Last is a famous flautist." True or false? This is the one you changed.

0:09:400:09:45

False. Famous band leader. And yes, James Galway is a famous flautist.

0:09:450:09:50

You know which way this is going now.

0:09:500:09:53

"The TV series Hollyoaks is set in Liverpool." True or false?

0:09:530:09:57

It is false because it's set in Chester.

0:09:570:10:00

"Tagalog is spoken in the Philippines." True or false?

0:10:000:10:04

Yeah, true.

0:10:040:10:05

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

0:10:050:10:09

APPLAUSE

0:10:090:10:12

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

0:10:130:10:18

You can make Matthew's chances of winning the prize fund of £2,000 harder. Let's see the final board.

0:10:180:10:24

Usual Suspects, you can choose four categories to add to the board.

0:10:240:10:29

That's two from this round and the two that rolled over from Round 1.

0:10:290:10:34

-Which four would you like Matthew to play in the final?

-Olympics?

0:10:340:10:38

-Olympics, Nick.

-Olympics goes across first.

-Harry Potter?

-Harry Potter.

-Harry Potter goes across second.

0:10:380:10:44

I'm not entirely sure he's a modern pop type of man.

0:10:440:10:48

-I probably agree.

-Do you reckon, Guy?

-Yeah, go with Modern Pop.

0:10:480:10:52

-Modern Pop, Nick.

-Modern Pop goes across third.

0:10:520:10:55

-And finally...

-Famous Planes?

0:10:550:10:58

-Famous Planes. That's a bit...

-Yeah, Famous Planes.

-Yeah.

-Yeah. Famous Planes, Nick.

0:10:580:11:03

Famous Planes becomes the fourth category in the final.

0:11:030:11:06

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You won the second round. It's time to switch you off. See you in Round 3.

0:11:060:11:12

-Matthew, it could have gone much worse.

-It could have gone much worse. It's a mix, isn't it?

0:11:120:11:18

Famous Planes - interesting. Modern Pop - hmm...

0:11:180:11:21

With one more chance still to find perfection, let's play Round 3.

0:11:210:11:26

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:11:270:11:29

You've got the Count of Montecristo, don't you? Is it an island?

0:11:350:11:40

And is it off the coast of Italy?

0:11:400:11:42

The Count of Montecristo...

0:11:430:11:46

-False.

-False.

0:11:470:11:49

-False.

-False?

-No, true, please.

0:11:520:11:55

-Can I have that?

-I have to accept your first answer.

-OK, false.

0:11:550:11:59

-False.

-False.

0:12:010:12:04

That's probably...

0:12:060:12:09

-False.

-False.

0:12:120:12:14

-Again just to clear up, we do have to take your first answer.

-Yeah.

0:12:150:12:19

Matthew, you've answered all four statements.

0:12:190:12:22

It's time to bring back the Usual Suspects. These were the four statements.

0:12:220:12:27

Next to them are Matthew's answers.

0:12:270:12:30

-Naomi, how's he done this time?

-I think he's done pretty good.

0:12:300:12:33

I'm kind of debating D though, whether or not it could be true.

0:12:330:12:38

Matthew, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

0:12:380:12:44

Let's see how many are correct.

0:12:440:12:46

One. A long way short of perfection!

0:12:490:12:52

That means you let your enemies in again.

0:12:520:12:55

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You need to change three of Matthew's answers.

0:12:550:13:00

A, B and D.

0:13:000:13:03

C is right, as in it's false.

0:13:030:13:05

-It's false, yeah. Matt Dawson, I think he did do MasterChef as well as Strictly Come Dancing.

-Right.

0:13:050:13:12

-So A, B and D we're changing.

-A, B and D, yeah.

0:13:120:13:15

-Lovely. "A" changes from "false" to "true".

-Yeah.

0:13:150:13:18

B changes from "false" to "true" and D changes from "false" to "true",

0:13:180:13:22

leaving C as Matthew answered.

0:13:220:13:25

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

0:13:250:13:28

"Montecristo is an island off the coast of Italy." True or false?

0:13:280:13:33

It is true.

0:13:330:13:35

"Matt Dawson won a series of Celebrity MasterChef." Is that true or false?

0:13:350:13:40

It is true.

0:13:400:13:43

He won the first series in 2006.

0:13:430:13:45

"Stephen Fry invented the internet service Twitter."

0:13:450:13:49

No. In actual fact, it's false.

0:13:490:13:52

He's become a very famous user of it with a lot of followers, but he didn't invent it.

0:13:520:13:58

And "fingernails grow faster in summer than in winter." Is that false or true?

0:13:580:14:03

It's actually true.

0:14:030:14:05

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

0:14:050:14:10

-APPLAUSE

-Well done. Well done.

0:14:100:14:13

That's not great news, Matthew. The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and stolen the round.

0:14:130:14:19

Let's look at the final board.

0:14:190:14:21

Usual Suspects, you've earned the right to choose the last two subject categories to go on that board.

0:14:210:14:27

-Which two would you like?

-Tennis?

-Yeah.

-Tennis.

0:14:270:14:30

-Tennis is going in?

-Tennis is going in, Nick.

0:14:300:14:33

-Thank you.

-Last one...

0:14:330:14:36

-I wouldn't give him Italy.

-No, cos he's sending his parents to Venice.

0:14:360:14:40

-Film Stars?

-Film Stars?

-I'd go for Film Stars.

-We'll go with Film Stars.

0:14:400:14:44

Thank you. Film Stars becomes the sixth and final category.

0:14:440:14:48

We now know our six final categories.

0:14:480:14:51

OK, guys, time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio. What do you make of it in the end?

0:14:560:15:02

If there are any stumbling blocks, it'll probably be tennis.

0:15:020:15:06

-It's going to be interesting to see.

-Yeah.

-£2,000 in play. It's time to play the final.

0:15:060:15:11

Matthew, this is the all-important final.

0:15:120:15:15

If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £2,000.

0:15:150:15:20

If you fail, you leave with nothing

0:15:200:15:22

and one of the Usual Suspects could be playing for a rollover of £3,000 on the next game.

0:15:220:15:28

Let's play the final round.

0:15:280:15:30

Matthew, here are your final six categories.

0:15:310:15:35

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win £2,000.

0:15:350:15:39

Think carefully. No time limit. But once you've given an answer, it's locked in.

0:15:390:15:44

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

0:15:440:15:48

Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

0:15:480:15:52

Olympics. "The tug of war was once an Olympic event."

0:15:520:15:56

Now, if you sort of think 1908 Olympics which were held in London

0:15:560:16:01

and that sort of thing, pre-the First World War,

0:16:010:16:05

I would imagine it probably was, so yes, I think that's true, it was an Olympic event.

0:16:050:16:10

True. Harry Potter...

0:16:100:16:12

"Lord Voldemort has been played by Ralph Fiennes."

0:16:120:16:17

-He has and he's going to continue to be played by Ralph Fiennes. Yes, that's true.

-Thank you.

0:16:170:16:24

Modern Pop. "Bleeding Love was Leona Lewis' first UK No.1 hit."

0:16:240:16:30

Now, what did she win The X Factor with?

0:16:300:16:34

Because that'll be the one that she would have got her UK No.1 hit with, one would presume.

0:16:340:16:40

-False.

-False.

0:16:410:16:43

Famous Planes. "Concorde's last flight took place in 1993."

0:16:430:16:50

Concorde's last flight took place in 1993... That's false because it took place later on.

0:16:500:16:56

False. Thank you.

0:16:560:16:58

Tennis. "Tim Henman was once disqualified from Wimbledon."

0:16:580:17:03

He didn't win it, did he, for a start?

0:17:030:17:06

Was he disqualified?

0:17:060:17:08

Why would he have been disqualified?

0:17:080:17:11

That's really difficult. It's one or the other. It's not "maybe".

0:17:110:17:15

You know what? I think it's true.

0:17:150:17:18

-True?

-Yeah, put "true" in, otherwise we'll be here for weeks.

0:17:180:17:22

Film Stars. "Clint Eastwood is a former US state Governor."

0:17:220:17:26

He's a former US state Governor?

0:17:280:17:31

You've got Arnold Schwarzenegger who's Governor of California

0:17:310:17:35

and you've got Ronald Reagan who was a famous actor who went on to become President,

0:17:350:17:40

but Clint Eastwood doesn't seem to be the type that would be a Governor, so I'm going to say "false".

0:17:400:17:46

-False?

-Yeah.

-Those answers are locked in.

0:17:460:17:49

If there is one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are troubling you?

0:17:490:17:54

Bleeding Love, it could be that.

0:17:540:17:57

X Factor finishes near Christmas time and it's a bit of an odd single to come out at Christmas time.

0:17:570:18:04

And then the Tim Henman one could... I don't know.

0:18:040:18:07

-It could be anything.

-So C and E are the ones that you feel...

0:18:070:18:11

The ones you'll probably put at the end to... Yeah, those.

0:18:110:18:15

-Those ones.

-You've been watching me!

0:18:150:18:17

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

0:18:170:18:21

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

0:18:210:18:28

Your answers are locked in, but if you think you've made a mistake,

0:18:280:18:33

you can unlock the board with the Usual Suspects' help.

0:18:330:18:36

But this will come at a cost.

0:18:360:18:38

Usual Suspects, tell me how well you think Matthew has done,

0:18:380:18:42

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

0:18:420:18:46

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

0:18:460:18:51

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

-Let's go for ladies first, of course, so Naomi.

0:18:510:18:57

I think you've actually done really well, Matthew.

0:18:580:19:02

I think possibly you could have one wrong, but unfortunately, I'm not willing to come down, Matthew.

0:19:020:19:08

-Mike?

-I think you've done very well,

0:19:080:19:11

but certainly one of them I'm not too sure of,

0:19:110:19:15

so unfortunately, I won't be able to help you.

0:19:150:19:18

-And Guy, just cos we have to?

-My assistance also is less than forthcoming. I rest my case.

0:19:180:19:23

-Can I just check? This is about hanging on for more cash?

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:19:230:19:28

-You had a feeling it was going to go that way.

-Yes.

-None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help.

0:19:280:19:34

-So you're on your own.

-Yeah.

-£2,000 at stake. Six answers away.

0:19:340:19:38

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

0:19:380:19:41

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

0:19:420:19:48

"The tug of war was once an Olympic event." We need this to turn green to get you off to a flying start.

0:19:480:19:54

Is it true or false?

0:19:540:19:56

-Absolutely right.

-APPLAUSE

0:19:560:19:59

From 1900 to as late as 1920, it was actually an Olympic sport.

0:19:590:20:03

Now, "Lord Voldemort has been played by Ralph Fiennes." You said "true".

0:20:030:20:09

We need this to turn green for you to carry on. Is it true or false?

0:20:090:20:14

It is true. Two out of two.

0:20:140:20:16

Great run. What we could do is actually find out about C, but as you so rightly pointed out...

0:20:160:20:22

-No.

-So we'll skip C as it's one of the ones you're worried about and go on to D.

0:20:220:20:28

"Concorde's last flight took place in 1993."

0:20:280:20:32

You need it to turn red to get halfway to the cash. Is it true or false?

0:20:320:20:38

-APPLAUSE

-It is false.

0:20:380:20:41

The last passenger flight was ten years later than that in 2003, so very good, halfway there.

0:20:430:20:50

Halfway to £2,000.

0:20:500:20:52

-So we press on. "Tim Henman..." No, Tim Henman was one of the other ones.

-Let's go for F.

0:20:520:20:57

-We want to go past that.

-Yes.

-F - "Clint Eastwood is a former US state Governor."

0:20:570:21:02

You said several people had become US Governors who were actors, but Clint Eastwood wasn't one of them,

0:21:020:21:09

so you said "false".

0:21:090:21:11

Is it true or false?

0:21:110:21:13

-Yeah, it's false.

-APPLAUSE

0:21:140:21:17

He was Mayor of Carmel in California.

0:21:190:21:22

You are now two questions away from £2,000.

0:21:220:21:27

We go back up to the two you were uncomfortable with. Let's go to C.

0:21:270:21:31

"Bleeding Love was Leona Lewis' first UK No.1 hit."

0:21:310:21:36

You chose "false".

0:21:360:21:38

If it turns red, you are one away from taking home £2,000.

0:21:380:21:43

"Bleeding Love was Leona Lewis' first UK No.1 hit." Is it true or false?

0:21:430:21:49

It is false.

0:21:520:21:55

-A Moment Like This was her first.

-A Moment Like This?

0:21:550:22:01

-So here we are.

-Right.

-Five correct answers to the statements

0:22:010:22:06

and just one to go. We come to the Tim Henman question.

0:22:060:22:10

You said it could go either way.

0:22:100:22:13

-You don't remember that.

-No, but I'm relatively young

0:22:130:22:18

and I don't remember when he started playing. I'm not a tennis fan.

0:22:180:22:22

It might interest you now because there's £2,000 on it. You said "true" so you need it to turn green.

0:22:220:22:29

If it turns green, you've won £2,000. If it turns red,

0:22:290:22:33

despite having five correct answers, you're going home with nothing.

0:22:330:22:38

So Tim Henman was once disqualified from Wimbledon.

0:22:380:22:43

Is that true or false?

0:22:430:22:46

For £2,000.

0:22:460:22:48

It's true!

0:22:580:23:00

-Congratulations.

-That wasn't too bad!

0:23:050:23:08

-Not bad at all. £2,000.

-Right.

0:23:080:23:11

You achieved perfection. Henman was once disqualified at Wimbledon.

0:23:110:23:15

He got angry with himself and hit a tennis ball,

0:23:150:23:20

-but it didn't go where he wanted. It actually hit a ball girl.

-Oh?

-It happened in 1995.

0:23:200:23:27

-I was the tender age of 11.

-Sadly, I was a lot older, but it's not about me, it's about you

0:23:270:23:33

-having won £2,000.

-Thank you very much. Thank you, guys!

0:23:330:23:38

-So your parents are going on a trip?

-Yes, possibly.

-Possibly!

-They will.

0:23:380:23:43

-It was a good story, but now...

-I'm sure there's a place called Venice on the south coast somewhere.

0:23:430:23:50

OK, smashing. Look, congratulations. Unfortunately, Usual Suspects, the prize fund has been won,

0:23:500:23:57

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

0:23:570:24:02

-Congratulations, Matthew. You achieved perfection.

-Thank you.

0:24:020:24:07

-Well done.

-Thank you. APPLAUSE

0:24:070:24:10

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

0:24:100:24:16

Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

0:24:160:24:19

Hi, I'm Hilary from Dorset and I'm a school secretary.

0:24:190:24:24

Welcome, Hilary. Best of luck as we find out which of you will be randomly picked to play.

0:24:240:24:30

Naomi!

0:24:330:24:34

Come down and play Perfection.

0:24:340:24:37

-Naomi, welcome to the game. What is it you do?

-I work as a customer services manager.

0:24:390:24:45

OK. It's now you versus the Usual Suspects. Now they're your enemies.

0:24:450:24:49

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Unfortunately for you, the previous game was won

0:24:490:24:55

so the prize fund is reset to £1,000.

0:24:550:25:00

OK, three rounds and the final to come. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now

0:25:000:25:06

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

0:25:060:25:10

-You can now talk without giving any vital knowledge away.

-Yep.

0:25:100:25:15

Let's play Perfection.

0:25:150:25:18

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:25:180:25:21

In the film ET, ET's home planet is Mars.

0:25:210:25:26

-False.

-False.

0:25:270:25:29

William Hague has a black belt in karate.

0:25:290:25:33

I think I remember hearing something about that.

0:25:330:25:37

-It could be someone else. True.

-True.

0:25:370:25:41

Top Gear's James May is known as Captain Flash.

0:25:420:25:46

-True.

-True.

0:25:460:25:48

And, finally, the adder is Britain's only native venomous snake.

0:25:480:25:53

Blackadder was the name of that programme. I have no idea. True.

0:25:540:25:59

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

0:25:590:26:04

-How was that round for you?

-Em...it was OK. Not too bad.

0:26:040:26:09

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

0:26:090:26:14

So these were the four statements and Naomi's answers.

0:26:140:26:18

-Hilary, has she achieved perfection?

-I'm not sure about C, actually.

0:26:180:26:23

-I think that might be wrong.

-OK. You need to have answered all four to have won the round.

0:26:230:26:29

Let's find out how many are correct.

0:26:290:26:31

-Just two of the four. Plainly not perfection, Naomi.

-No.

0:26:360:26:41

You've let the Usual Suspects in. Can you steal the round?

0:26:410:26:46

You need to change two answers.

0:26:460:26:49

-Has William Hague a black belt?

-I think so.

0:26:490:26:53

Is ET from Mars?

0:26:530:26:55

Did they say he was a Martian? He's an extraterrestrial. It's a bit vague.

0:26:550:27:00

If we say B and D are correct, then it's A and C.

0:27:000:27:06

-A and C, Nick.

-A changes from "false" to "true".

0:27:060:27:10

And C changes from "true" to "false".

0:27:100:27:13

Leaving B and D as Naomi first answered.

0:27:130:27:18

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

0:27:180:27:23

In the film ET, ET's home planet is Mars. You changed "false" to "true".

0:27:230:27:29

You need it to turn green. Is it true or false?

0:27:290:27:33

It's false. And already you have failed to achieve perfection.

0:27:350:27:40

His home planet was never specified. Are you still on for perfection at home?

0:27:400:27:46

William Hague has a black belt in karate. Is that true or false? ..No, he hasn't.

0:27:460:27:52

He does have a blue belt in judo.

0:27:520:27:54

Top Gear's James May is known as Captain Flash. True or false?

0:27:540:27:59

That is false. He is known as Captain Slow.

0:28:000:28:05

The adder is Britain's only native venomous snake. True or false? True.

0:28:050:28:10

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection you could now make Naomi's chances in the final harder

0:28:100:28:17

and here's how.

0:28:170:28:19

Here are the final round categories. Because neither side won the round,

0:28:190:28:24

the two categories that were to be chosen will be carried over to the next round.

0:28:240:28:29

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off.

0:28:290:28:32

Cheerio. Winning this next round with four categories on offer could prove crucial.

0:28:320:28:38

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

-Let's play Round 2.

0:28:380:28:41

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:28:440:28:47

Dear Fatty is a book by Dawn French.

0:28:470:28:50

-True.

-True.

0:28:500:28:52

Hamid Karzai is a former president of Pakistan.

0:28:530:28:57

-I honestly have no idea. False.

-False.

0:29:000:29:04

The US city Denver is known as the Mile High City.

0:29:050:29:09

Mile High...

0:29:090:29:11

-True.

-True. And, finally,

0:29:110:29:14

Sepp Blatter is the head of the IOC.

0:29:140:29:18

-True.

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

0:29:220:29:29

That was...yeah.

0:29:290:29:31

-A bit hideous, to be honest!

-A bit hideous?

0:29:310:29:35

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

0:29:350:29:40

So these are the four statements and next to them are Naomi's answers. Guy, how has she done?

0:29:400:29:47

I think D is actually false. Sepp Blatter is the head of something to do with football. UEFA, maybe.

0:29:470:29:54

Naomi, the moment of truth. You need all four to win the round. Let's find out how many you got.

0:29:540:30:00

Three out of four. Close, but not close enough. Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

0:30:080:30:14

There's four categories on offer.

0:30:140:30:17

You can see Naomi's answers. You need to change one. Which one?

0:30:170:30:21

-Change D?

-Change D.

0:30:210:30:24

D changes from "true" to "false".

0:30:240:30:26

Leaving A, B and C as Naomi answered.

0:30:260:30:30

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

0:30:300:30:33

Dear Fatty is a book by Dawn French. True or false?

0:30:330:30:37

It's true. It's her autobiography. Hamid Karzai is a former president of Pakistan. You said false.

0:30:370:30:44

It IS false. The President of Afghanistan.

0:30:440:30:48

The US city Denver is known as the Mile High City.

0:30:480:30:52

It is true because it is pretty much a mile above sea level.

0:30:520:30:57

You know where this is going. Sepp Blatter is the head of the IOC.

0:30:570:31:02

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You achieved perfection.

0:31:020:31:07

Sepp Blatter is most famous for being the President of FIFA. Oh, dear, Naomi.

0:31:100:31:16

They have stolen the round. Usual Suspects, you can now make Naomi's chances of winning £1,000

0:31:160:31:23

that much harder. Let's see the final board. Because you won the round,

0:31:230:31:29

you can choose four categories - that's two from this round and two that rolled over from Round 1.

0:31:290:31:35

Which four would you like?

0:31:350:31:38

-Football, I would say. She didn't know the last one.

-Football. I agree.

0:31:380:31:44

-We'll go with football, Nick.

-Football becomes the first category in the final.

-Star Trek, maybe?

0:31:440:31:51

How about that? Star Trek?

0:31:510:31:54

-We'll go with Star Trek.

-Two more.

-How will she be on Africa? Big country.

-Big country, yeah.

0:31:540:32:01

-Africa.

-Yeah, Africa, Nick.

-Thank you.

0:32:010:32:04

-Africa becomes the third. I need one more.

-Spiders?

0:32:040:32:08

-Spiders is quite...

-Yeah.

-A bit obscure.

-Spiders, Nick, is the final category.

0:32:080:32:14

Spiders becomes the fourth category of the six to be in the final.

0:32:140:32:18

Congratulations. Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 3. And away they go.

0:32:180:32:24

Naomi, you still have one chance to choose your own categories. There's still two spaces available.

0:32:240:32:31

-It's quite important to choose your own categories. Ready to play?

-Yep.

-Let's play Round 3.

0:32:310:32:37

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:32:390:32:41

Actors Michael and Charlie Sheen are first cousins.

0:32:410:32:46

-True.

-True.

0:32:530:32:55

The NHS was set up in the 18th century.

0:32:560:33:00

-False.

-False.

0:33:030:33:05

-Ian Woosnam is a former winner of the US Masters.

-True.

-True.

0:33:060:33:11

The Pigeon is a famous play by Chekhov.

0:33:120:33:16

-True.

-True.

0:33:170:33:19

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

0:33:190:33:24

-Was that an ugly round as well?

-A little bit, yeah. I think I've got one wrong.

-Which one?

0:33:240:33:30

A. Michael Sheen is an English actor, I think, and Charlie is American.

0:33:300:33:36

You don't think they're related. Before we reveal how you've done,

0:33:360:33:41

time to bring back the Usual Suspects. These are the statements and, next to them, Naomi's answers.

0:33:410:33:47

-Mike, has she achieved perfection?

-I think she could well have done. My only doubt is A.

0:33:470:33:53

All right. Naomi, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly to win the round.

0:33:530:33:59

Let's find out how many are correct.

0:33:590:34:02

Just two of the four. Naomi, you didn't quite manage perfection this time round either.

0:34:050:34:11

You've let your enemies in again.

0:34:110:34:14

-You can see Naomi's answers. You need to change two.

-She's right on B.

-That's 1948.

0:34:140:34:21

-There is a famous play by Chekhov called The Pigeon. I may be wrong...

-So you think that's true?

-Yeah.

0:34:210:34:28

-So we need to change A and C?

-A and C, yeah. A and C we want to change, Nick.

0:34:280:34:34

A changes from "true" to "false". C changes from "true" to "false".

0:34:340:34:39

B and D remain as Naomi first answered.

0:34:390:34:43

Let's find out what the answers are. Actors Michael and Charlie Sheen are first cousins. True or false?

0:34:430:34:50

It is false. Not even related.

0:34:500:34:54

-Michael as you said is Welsh, actually.

-Yeah.

0:34:540:34:58

The NHS was set up in the 18th century. Is that true or false?

0:34:580:35:03

Yep, false.

0:35:040:35:06

1940s, in actual fact. Ian Woosnam is a former winner of the US Masters. True or false?

0:35:060:35:13

It's true!

0:35:150:35:17

He won it in 1991. Oh, dear, Usual Suspects. You failed to achieve perfection.

0:35:170:35:23

Let's clear up the last one. The Pigeon is a famous play by Chekhov.

0:35:230:35:27

True or false? It's false.

0:35:270:35:31

-The Seagull, however...

-Oh! The Seagull.

-..is a famous play by Chekhov.

0:35:310:35:37

Let's have a look at the board.

0:35:370:35:39

Nobody managed to win Round 3, so we have two blank spaces waiting to be filled.

0:35:390:35:45

You will take it in turn to choose a category. Naomi, as the single player, you get to choose first.

0:35:450:35:51

-I'm going to take Celebrities, Nick.

-Celebrities goes in.

0:35:510:35:56

Usual Suspects, you get to choose the final category.

0:35:560:36:00

Saints? There's an awful lot of saints, with different dates.

0:36:000:36:05

-What about inventions?

-Likewise.

-I think she may know about saints.

0:36:050:36:09

-We'll go for inventions.

-Inventions it is.

-Inventions, Nick.

0:36:090:36:14

Lovely, thank you. Inventions comes across and becomes the sixth.

0:36:140:36:19

We now know our six categories.

0:36:190:36:21

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio.

0:36:260:36:30

All right, look, Naomi, for £1,000 it's time to play the final.

0:36:300:36:36

Naomi, this is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection, you could win £1,000.

0:36:380:36:45

If you fail, you leave with nothing. So one of the Usual Suspects could play for £2,000 in the next game.

0:36:450:36:53

Let's play the final round.

0:36:530:36:55

Naomi, here are your six final categories.

0:36:580:37:02

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £1,000.

0:37:020:37:07

There's no time limit, but your answers are locked in.

0:37:070:37:11

-You ready?

-Yep.

-Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether it's true or false.

0:37:110:37:18

Manchester United have never been relegated.

0:37:210:37:25

Honestly, a total guess.

0:37:270:37:29

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

0:37:300:37:33

William Shatner has directed a Star Trek film.

0:37:360:37:40

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

0:37:400:37:43

The population of Africa is over two billion.

0:37:460:37:50

Two billion...

0:37:500:37:52

Massive continent.

0:37:520:37:54

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

0:37:590:38:01

Tarantulas can live for more than 10 years.

0:38:030:38:07

A friend of my mum had one and I remember it being there for quite a while.

0:38:070:38:13

-So I'm going to go with true.

-True.

0:38:130:38:16

The category you selected for yourself - Celebrities.

0:38:160:38:20

Marilyn Monroe was married five times.

0:38:210:38:25

I'm pretty sure she was married at least three,

0:38:270:38:32

-but I don't think she was married five. I'm going to say false.

-False.

0:38:320:38:36

Yeah.

0:38:360:38:38

Humphry Davy is the inventor of the thermos flask.

0:38:390:38:44

I'm going to go with a total guess and say...

0:38:440:38:48

-True.

-True.

-Yeah.

0:38:510:38:53

Those answers are now locked in. One mistake and you leave with nothing.

0:38:550:39:00

-Which ones are you worried about?

-Em...F because it is a total guess.

0:39:000:39:05

C I'm not convinced on, either.

0:39:060:39:09

They'd be the two main ones. Then again, A.

0:39:090:39:13

-It's like, "Oh, have they?"

-So A, C and F are the ones that are worrying you.

-I think so, yes.

0:39:130:39:21

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

0:39:210:39:26

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

0:39:260:39:32

Naomi, your answers are locked in, but if you think you made a mistake

0:39:320:39:36

you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects. At a cost.

0:39:360:39:40

Usual Suspects, I'll now ask you to tell me how you think Naomi's done,

0:39:400:39:45

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

0:39:450:39:50

You can't refer to any statements specifically.

0:39:500:39:54

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

-Er, let's go with Hilary first, please.

0:39:540:40:00

I certainly know that one is wrong,

0:40:000:40:03

-but other than that I really don't think I can help with the others.

-So you'd come down for cash?

0:40:030:40:10

No, I wouldn't. I thought as much. Yeah, £1,000.

0:40:100:40:16

-So anybody else?

-Go on. I'll speak to Mike anyway, see what he says.

0:40:160:40:21

A couple I'm not too sure of. And I wouldn't come down. I want the money to roll over.

0:40:210:40:28

That's fair enough, Mike. Guy?

0:40:280:40:31

Naomi, I think a lot of the answers are good, but some are bad.

0:40:310:40:35

But I'm going to stay in here.

0:40:350:40:39

That's fine. I would do the exact same!

0:40:390:40:42

-Not a lot of help coming your way.

-No.

-So you're on your own. £1,000 at stake.

0:40:420:40:48

-Six answers away. You might have done it all on your own.

-Maybe.

-Have you achieved perfection?

0:40:480:40:55

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

0:40:580:41:01

Manchester United have never been relegated.

0:41:010:41:05

You said you thought they never have, but you said false.

0:41:050:41:10

Is it true or false?

0:41:110:41:13

It IS false. It's happened several times.

0:41:140:41:19

-Yeah?

-You're on your way.

0:41:190:41:22

William Shatner has directed a Star Trek film. You said true.

0:41:220:41:26

So we need this to turn green.

0:41:260:41:29

Is it true or false?

0:41:290:41:31

It is true.

0:41:330:41:35

-He directed the fifth film in the series.

-Yeah.

0:41:370:41:42

The population of Africa is over two billion. You said true. We need this to turn green for you

0:41:420:41:48

to continue towards the cash. If it goes red, you go home with nothing.

0:41:480:41:54

Is it true or false?

0:41:540:41:56

-It's false, I'm afraid. And I think you had second thoughts even after you answered it.

-Yeah.

0:42:010:42:07

I was thinking how many people it is and I was like, "No!"

0:42:070:42:11

In 2009, it passed one billion. There was quite a bit of publicity.

0:42:110:42:16

So I'm afraid, Naomi, you didn't achieve perfection,

0:42:160:42:21

so you go home with no cash at all. How are you doing at home? Let's continue on and find out.

0:42:210:42:27

Tarantulas can live for more than 10 years. Is it true or false?

0:42:270:42:32

-Yeah, it's true.

-Yeah. Ugly.

-Marilyn Monroe was married five times. Is that true or false?

0:42:320:42:39

-It is false. She was married three times.

-Yeah.

0:42:400:42:44

That was your category and you got it bang on.

0:42:440:42:48

Humphry Davy is the inventor of the thermos flask. You said true. It is false.

0:42:480:42:55

It was the miner's safety lamp, the Davy lamp.

0:42:550:43:00

They were the two that I kind of figured I'd messed up on.

0:43:000:43:05

Usual Suspects, good news. The prize fund rolls over to the next game where you could play for £2,000.

0:43:050:43:13

Naomi, I'm afraid you failed to achieve perfection. You go home with nothing.

0:43:130:43:19

-Enjoyed yourself?

-Yeah, it's been good fun.

-Let's hear it for Naomi, everybody.

0:43:190:43:25

APPLAUSE

0:43:250:43:27

That's all we have time for. Join us next time when our Usual Suspects play again for £2,000,

0:43:270:43:33

but remember, on this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
