Episode 14 Perfection

Welcome to the show which demands nothing less than perfection.

Behind the screen are four contestants hoping that their knowledge is flawless,

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

APPLAUSE

Hello, 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 are in our isolation room.

In a moment, we will find out which one of them has been selected to join me here to play Perfection.

They will then face a series of true or false statements.

For example, if I said Katharine Hepburn 14 Oscars,

would you say that is true or false?

If you 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

will be allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

Hi, I am Jane, I am from Rossendale in Lancashire, I'm a housewife, and this is my first game.

I'm Tim, I am from Manchester

and I am a self-employed project manager. This is my third game.

My name is Sanny, I am from West Yorkshire

and I am a civil engineering student. This is my fourth game.

I'm Anastacia from Essex, I am a stay-at-home mum, and this is my 5th game.

Hello, Usual Suspects, one and all, and a special welcome to Jane, who joins us from the first time.

-How are you feeling?

-Not too bad, thank you.

-Little nervous?

-Not really.

Glad to hear that. They are a friendly bunch.

Until it comes to money. In which case, they get quite cut-throat.

-Looking along the line, do you trust them all?

-Not really.

We will not narrow down which ones, but I know exactly what you mean.

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

which one of you has been picked at random to play Perfection.

-Tim, it is you.

-APPLAUSE

Please come and play Perfection.

-Tim, welcome to the game. Tell us about yourself.

-I have been married, gosh,

it will be 13 years in just a week or two's time.

-I've got three children.

-OK. It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your teammates, now they're your enemies. Their job is to stop you from winning.

Your failure means 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.

Nobody won the last game,

so the prize fund currently stands at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

With three youngsters at home, that's going to eat that up fairly quickly, isn't it?

Between debts and starting up a new business venture, it'll disappear.

-So you know where the money's going?

-Yeah.

-All right. You'll play three rounds, then a final.

Every round that you achieve Perfection will make the final that much easier for you.

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

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

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off so you can't see or hear anything. Cheerio.

Away they go, into the dark.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll answer against the clock. You'll have 45 seconds.

Once you've given your first answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Absolutely.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds starts now.

I don't know,

but Culloden sounds like it might be top of the border, so true.

True.

-I think that's a bit too high now. False.

-False.

Yes, he did.

-No, no, he played for Australia. It's false.

-False.

-It's ridiculous enough to be true, so I'll say true.

-True.

And with time to spare,

you've answered all four statements. How was that?

I really feel I should be more confident about Don Bradman, seeing as I play club cricket.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements.

Next to them are Tim's answers. Anastacia, how has he done?

B, I think he's got right there,

and D, I did see that big, blonde, fluffy hair walking through the Vic at some point,

I don't know why he was on there.

-What's he got wrong?

-A and C, I think. I'm not too sure.

I think he may have got most of this right.

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.

Three out of four is pretty good. But not good enough.

You haven't achieved Perfection. You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Tim's answers - you need to change one of them, but which?

-OK, so are we happy with B and D?

-Definitely.

Cricket's probably not my best area.

-Does anyone have any thoughts on that one?

-Not too sure about that.

What about A?

I know Robert the Bruce did fight in a battle in Scotland,

I'm just trying to fathom out which one.

-I'm not sure.

-Maybe C is worth a...

-I think C, yes. OK, Nick?

-Yes?

We're going to change C from false to true, please.

Changing C from false to true, leaving A, B and D as answered by Tim.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

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

Robert the Bruce fought in the Battle of Culloden, true or false?

It's false - you've blown it already, Usual Suspects.

Unfortunately, you failed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder how you're doing at home. Can you still achieve Perfection?

Let's find out.

By the way, Robert the Bruce was long dead before the Battle of Culloden.

Different period.

The average age for a UK MP is 60, true or false?

It's false.

It is 50. Don Bradman played test match cricket for England.

It is in fact false. Absolutely.

He played for Australia.

And Boris Johnson has appeared on EastEnders would appear to be true.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection, you would have the chance

to make Tim's chances of winning harder in the final. Here's how.

Tim, this is your final board appearing.

These blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Behind each category will be a true or false statement,

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

Here are the final round categories.

Had you achieved Perfection, you would have the chance of adding two categories

to the board, but because neither side won the round,

the categories which were due to be chosen will be carried over,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

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

We'll see you in Round Two. Cheerio, away they go.

What you think of that list? What do you fancy off there?

Perhaps phrases. Geeky knowledge of things people say.

-I'm a bit of a people watcher.

-Which ones do you want to avoid?

I just don't know anything about Doctor Who and probably Chuck Norris.

-Tim, are you ready for the next round?

-Let's play.

Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-No, it's not, it's not by him. That's false.

-False.

-I thought he was American, it's false.

-False.

-False.

-False.

Situation of the gods...

-Yes, it was, true.

-True.

Using all the time to the best of your ability,

you've answered all four statements. What did you make of that round?

I think I may well have got a couple wrong.

Before we reveal how will you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

-Hello, folks, how are you doing? All right?

-Fine, thank you.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and Tim's answers.

-Jane, has he achieved Perfection?

-I don't think so.

-I think he's got one wrong.

-Which one?

-B.

-You think he may have been born in the UK.

-Yes, I think so.

-Sanny?

I can't remember if Capello played for a national side.

I remember he played, but I'm not sure about that one either.

Tim, the moment of truth.

You had to answer the statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

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

You can see Tim's answers, you need to change three.

Which three?

Fabio Capello played football for Italy.

He's Italian, but I don't know if he made it into the national side.

He must have done. Life Of Pi, who's that written by?

I can't imagine Stephen Hawking writing the life of much,

especially with something at the end of it.

-OK, guys, we're going for B, C and... Help me out here.

-D?

-Shall we go for D?

-What do you think?

-B, C and D?

What has the Brains Trust come up with, Anastacia?

We're going to make the changes to B, C and D.

B changes from false to true,

C changes from false to true,

D changes from true to false,

leaving A, as answered by Tim, false.

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

Life Of Pi is a book by Stephen Hawking.

True or false?

It is false - it was Yann Martel.

Stan Laurel was born in the UK. True or false?

True, he was born in Cumbria, in actual fact.

Fabio Capello played football for Italy.

True or false?

True.

You know where this is going? The Acropolis of Athens

was a sports stadium. True or false?

It was false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

The Acropolis is what the Parthenon's built on.

Usual Suspects have succeeded and have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity

to make Tim's chances of winning the prize, £2,000, much harder.

Let's see the final board. Nothing on there at the moment.

Usual Suspects,

you can choose four categories to add to the board.

That's two from this round

and two that rolled over from Round One.

Fire away. Which four would you like?

OK, opera? Opera is a good one.

-Is that going across?

-Opera, please.

Opera goes across into the final.

-Chuck Norris, please.

-Chuck Norris. Two more, please.

Maybe phrases we'll put in there as well, please.

Phrases goes across and one more.

Shall we go for Dickens? What do you think?

-I'd say Dickens.

-Dickens as well, please, Nick.

Dickens, thank you. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You've won the second round. It's time to switch you off,

but we'll see you in Round Three.

Away they go.

With them gone, they can't hear you.

What do you make of their choices? Chuck Norris, hoping to avoid.

I don't know about phrases,

but there's certain adjectives I can use to describe them at the moment.

-Ready to play the next round?

-Absolutely.

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

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

That sounded like a good round, yes?

No, I was disguising how worried I was about what I was answering.

Before we reveal how you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Tim's answers.

Sanny, has he achieved Perfection?

I believe he has. I would've put all true for four of them.

I'm a bit unsure on one, but I'd think definitely Perfection.

-Jane?

-I think, yes, he's actually got the right answers.

The moment of truth.

You had to answer all statements perfectly to win the round.

I wonder if they're right. How many are correct?

Three out of four.

Again, you've failed to achieve Perfection

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

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Tim's answers.

You need to change one. Which one?

C is definitely true.

101 is definitely a prime number.

Sardinia is an island off of Italy.

Koalas sleep for ages, don't they? Or is that sloths?

I'm sure the koala one is right.

Blue Peter, was it broadcast in the '50s?

-When was the TV made?

-When was the TV made?

Nick, we're going to change A from true to false, please.

A changes from true to false,

leaving B, C and D as answered by Tim.

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

Blue Peter was first broadcast in the 1960s.

True or false?

It's false.

Well done, Usual Suspects. It was in fact 1958, as you guessed.

So you know where this is going now.

Koalas often sleep for over 18 hours a day.

True or false?

Yeah, true. 101 is a prime number. True or false?

True. Sardinia is an Italian island. True or false?

True.

Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Tim, Usual suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round once again.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make

Tim's chance of winning the prize fund as hard as it can get.

Let's see the final board. Four subjects, chosen by you,

and because you won that round, you get to choose the last two as well.

So which ones do you want to choose to try and trip Tim up

in the final?

Maybe alligators? He is a bit snappy!

If we go for alligators, he'll probably ask an awkward question,

so, alligators, Nick, please.

-Thank you. Alligators goes across. The last one?

-Argentina?

Worth a shot. Might be about sports, but could be about anything.

Could be anything to do with Argentina, couldn't it?

Shall we go for Argentina? Argentina, please, Nick.

And Argentina!

We now know our final six categories.

They are Opera, Chuck Norris, Phrases, Dickens, Alligators

and almost anything about Argentina!

OK, guys, time to switch you off for the final time. Away they go.

Tim, looking at that board,

-what are you thinking?

-I've got six 50-50 shouts.

-That's exactly right.

How much more rewarding would it be

to walk out of here with £2,000 when they've chosen the subjects?

It is time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Tim, this is the all-important final. If you achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with £2,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which would be great for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could play for a rollover of £3,000 on the next game,

and that should be motivation itself, to stop them getting it.

-Yes?

-Some lovely people there. Be great if they won the jackpot.

-But I'd prefer to win it.

-OK! Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Tim, here are your final six categories.

Answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £2,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you give an answer,

your first answer will be locked in. Ready?

-Not really, but let's play.

-OK. Let's reveal your first statement.

Tell me whether you believe it's true or false. Opera...

-I believe it might be true.

-True.

Chuck Norris...

Something in the back of my head says that's daft enough to be true.

-So, yes, true.

-True. Phrases...

-I'm going to say false.

-False. Dickens...

That was the one novel I was hoping it wouldn't be. I'm going to say...

-False.

-False. Alligators...

I'd love it to be,

because my 8-year-old boy would be thrilled to find that out.

-Why not? True.

-True. Finally, Argentina...

-Yes, she was, I believe. True.

-True.

Tim, the answers are locked in. Remember,

one single mistake, you leave with nothing. Which are you unsure of?

Better question to ask me which ones I was sure of.

-Which ones are you sure of?

-I'm not, really!

-It wasn't a better question at all, was it?!

-No!

-So it's that bad a board?

I'm afraid so.

Let's rejoin the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Tim's answers. Tim, your answers are locked in,

you can't change them by yourself, but if you think you made a mistake, you can unlock them

with the Usual Suspects' help but at a cost. Who'd you like to hear from, first?

I don't know you as well as the others, Jane. What do you think?

To be honest with you, I'm not sure. I think there's possibly two wrong,

but I couldn't be really sure enough to come and help you.

OK. Sanny?

I think I can see one that's definitely wrong. I am not sure about some of the others.

-I can't help you on this one, mate.

-Not coming down for any amount of cash?

-No. Sorry.

-Anastacia?

-I can see two wrong. Think there may be another one.

I am not prepared to come down and help you for any amount of money.

I'm sorry.

The negotiations have been closed, because they're not prepared to come and help. Why do you think?

Cowards!

You're on your own. They won't come and help. £2,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

The opera Aida is set in Egypt. You thought this might be true. We need it to turn green

to get us under way.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

-Well done! You do know a bit about opera!

-Apparently!

Chuck Norris is a former world karate champion.

You thought this was probably true.

You need this to turn green to get a third of the way to the cash.

Chuck Norris is a former world karate champion. True or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

Julius Caesar famously crossed the Rubicon. You said that was false.

We need this to turn red. True or false?

I'm afraid you've blown it. You are not going to achieve Perfection

and don't go home with any cash. What a shame.

Can you still achieve Perfection at home? Let's look through the rest of the questions.

Magwitch is a character in David Copperfield.

You decided it was false. We'd like this to turn red for you.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is false.

It's from Great Expectations.

A group of alligators is known as a snap. You wanted this to be true.

For my little boy, Elijah. So he can tell his friends

at school, and they'll be amazed he knows it and think it's hilarious.

So, is it true or false?

Oh, sadly not. It's a congregation.

So finally we get to Eva Peron was Prime Minister of Argentina.

So far you got three right, two wrong. You said this was true.

We need this to turn green. Is it true or false?

Sadly, it's false. She was the wife of the president.

Usual Suspects, fantastic news for you.

The prize fund rolls over into the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £3,000.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes, all looking very chuffed with themselves.

I'm afraid you failed to achieve Perfection,

which means you go home with nothing.

-I hope you enjoyed yourself, though.

-Absolutely. Hey, good guys,

so I hope one of them wins the jackpot. All the best to them.

Very nice of you. Ladies and gentlemen, Tim.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspects

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Rich, I'm from Cardiff and I'm a firefighter.

Welcome, Rich.

-A firefighter, eh?

-Yes.

Look, Jane next to you starts to smile already. Something about the firefighter...

Mind you, Jane, they're not all necessarily super-fit hunks.

Rich, I don't suppose you get out and play sport, do you?

-I do a little bit, yes.

-What do you do?

A bit of triathlons. Rugby.

-All right, so you are fit.

-LAUGHTER

Very good luck. Welcome to the game and best of luck to the rest of you too,

as we find out which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Sanny, it's you that's been chosen.

Please come and play Perfection.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sanny, welcome to the game.

Tell us a bit more about yourself, your family and things.

Well, I'm studying civil engineering.

My sister's studying medicine, and my other sister is studying law.

-Your parents must be very proud.

-I guess they are.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news - as nobody's won the last two games,

the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

That's got to be handy when you're at university.

Yes, that will cover some tuition fees.

-Is that what you're going to spend it on?

-Probably.

-You don't have to give anything to Mum and Dad?

-Definitely not.

-OK, three rounds to come.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off so you can't see or hear anything,

but as soon as he makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

And away they go, into the dark. You can talk through your answers without giving away vital knowledge.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, ready.

-Let's get into it, let's play Perfection.

Round One, your 45 seconds starts now.

I can remember the film.

I'm not sure if it is in California. I'll go with false there.

-False?

-Yes.

I think I read that he did. I'm not sure.

-I'll go with true on that one.

-True.

I know it's one of the best, but is it the oldest?

-I'll go with true on that one.

-True. And finally...

-No, I doubt it seriously. False.

-False.

And with time to spare,

you have answered all four statements.

Did that feel like a good round to you?

It wasn't too bad, I guess.

Don't commit yourself in either direction!

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Sanny's answers. Anastacia, how's he done?

I remember watching The Golden Girls, late '80s, early '90s.

I don't recall Quentin Tarantino being in that.

OK. Jane?

I thought it was possibly the golf.

C, OK. Rich,

-Has he achieved Perfection?

-No, he hasn't.

I'd agree with the golf question.

I'm pretty sure St Andrews is the oldest golf club.

-I don't think it is Augusta.

-Sanny, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four is pretty good, but it's just not good enough

and it's certainly not Perfection. You've now let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can see Sanny's answers.

-You need to change just one of them.

-I'd change C.

-I'm pretty confident.

-That's fine, that's fine, yes.

We'll go for C, please. We'll change that from true to false.

C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Sanny.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Pearl Harbor is a naval port in California.

Sanny said false. Usual Suspects, you agreed. Is it true or false?

Yes, it's false, it's in Hawaii.

Quentin Tarantino appeared in The Golden Girls.

Sanny and the Usual Suspects thought that was true. Is it true or false?

It is true.

Augusta National is the world's oldest golf club. True or false?

Yes, false.

It was set up in the 1930s. There are many older.

So we know where this is going now, don't we, Usual Suspects?

Elephants can live for over 150 years. True or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

Just to clear that up, 70 years is about average.

Sanny, they succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Sanny's chances of winning the prize harder and here's how...

Sanny, appearing as your final board,

six blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your final round categories,

ranging from Norse myth, human body, US sport, explorers and more.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

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

Which two would you like Sanny to play?

-Lib Dems?

-Yes, I think we may have problems with quite a few of them.

What are you going for?

-Norse myth.

-Norse myth goes across.

-And the human body, please.

-Human body goes across. Well done, Usual Suspects,

you've won the first round. We will see you in Round Two.

And away they go.

Now they can't hear you, what do you make of their choices?

-Norse myth?

-I'm not feeling Norse myth.

-The human body?

-Yes, that's not a bad one,

but I know Anastacia's an osteopath. She'll know all about it, that's why she chose it.

-Looking at the list on the left, what do you want to avoid?

-'70s rock,

wine, haven't a clue on wine.

It's only the first round. You have two more rounds to find Perfection

-and choose your own categories in the final. Ready for the next round?

-Let's go.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

My mate's is going to kill me for this one. Ah...

-I'll go with...false.

-False.

I think that's true. I read that in a geography book somewhere, so I think that's true.

-True.

-Yes.

Oh! Was it earlier? Could've been earlier.

Or was it later?

-I'm going to go with false.

-False. And finally...

No, that was Schwarzenegger. That's false.

False, and with time to spare, you answered all four statements.

That felt like a better round - yes, no?

-Probably, yes, I guess.

-OK.

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

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them are Sanny's answers. Rich, has he achieved Perfection?

I don't think he has this time.

There's a couple that I don't think he has got right.

-Anastacia?

-I couldn't answer any of them,

apart from the last one, with complete confidence.

-He may have done well.

-Sanny, the moment of truth.

You need to answer all four perfectly to win the round. Let's find out how many are correct.

Ah, you failed to achieve perfection again.

You've now let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see his answers. You need to change two of them, but which two?

I think D is right,

-because I'm sure Arnold Schwarzenegger was in that.

-Yes.

A yurt, I think that one's right as well.

The other two, I don't know.

I think we should change A and C.

If we can change A from false to true, please,

and C from false to true as well, please.

-You want to change A from false to true.

-Mm-hm.

-And C from false to true.

-Yes.

Leaving B and D as Sanny answered.

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

Johnny Marr was a guitarist in the Smiths. is that true or false?

It is true.

A yurt is a dwelling used by Mongolian nomads,

is that true or false?

It is true.

The English Civil War took place in the 17th century.

Is that true or false?

It is true. You know where this is going. Sylvester Stallone starred in Total Recall -

is that true or false?

It is false.

-Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes, it was, in fact, Arnie who played the part.

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

Usual Suspects, you can make Sanny's chances of winning the prize fund

much harder. Let's see the final board.

Two subjects on there already.

You won the round, so can choose the next two categories.

Which two do you want him to play?

'70s rock. He's a bit too young

for '70s.

Yeah, I think he is. So, that could be one.

How about US sport?

He might be good at sport.

I'd have gone with wine.

US Sport, because it IS different.

OK, Nick, we'll go for '70s rock

and US sport.

'70s rock goes across,

and US sport goes across too.

Congratulation, Usual Suspects, you've won the second round.

We'll see you in Round Three.

-Blimey, they picked you with '70s rock, didn't they?

-Yeah. Knew they would.

-Your sport's not bad, is it?

-Yeah, it's not too bad.

You almost got wine then.

Yeah, I know!

You need Perfection in the next round to choose those last two.

-Yep, definitely.

-OK, let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I should know this.

Wool... Goats...

I'll go with false on this one.

False.

-Definitely true, from my knowledge of sport and stuff.

-True.

Never watched it.

-I'd say Chicago, so false.

-False.

I'm not sure. I'd say false on that one.

-False.

-Yeah.

With a little time to spare,

you've answered all four statements. What do you think?

Nah, not Perfection on that one.

Not a good round? Bit of a struggle?

Before we see how you did,

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

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

Jane, has he achieved Perfection?

No, I don't think so. I think there's one that's wrong.

B, possibly.

-Rich, what do you think?

-I'm not too sure.

I think A's right. With the others, I don't really know.

They're not sure, either.

The Usual Suspects are a bit bamboozled

by that set of questions.

Let's find out how many you have correct.

Three out of four. Close

but no cigar, as they say.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game again.

Usual Suspects, you can see Sanny's answers.

You need to change one of them. Which one?

Either C or D, I'd say.

It's a bit of a stab in the dark, this one, isn't it?

THEY LAUGH

It's 50-50. Go on, pick one.

Are you happy for me...?

Let's change C from false to true, then.

C changes from false to true,

leaving A, B and D as originally chosen by Sanny.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Cashmere wool is traditionally derived from goats. True or false?

It's true! There it goes.

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round from Sanny

but failed to do so by achieving Perfection.

I wonder if you're on Perfection at home. Let's have a look through.

That's true.

-You were certain, Sanny?

-Definitely.

Largely set in Atlantic City.

The Remains Of The Day...

Kazuo Ishiguro wrote that one.

Four subjects on the board, chosen by you.

But nobody managed to win Round Three,

meaning we've two spaces yet to be filled.

To fill them, you'll take it in turn to choose a category.

Sanny, as the single player, you choose first, to go into the final.

I like wine and a few others, but I'll go Peep Show.

Peep Show goes across.

Usual Suspects, choose a category you think will trouble Sanny.

Was that a bluff with the wine, do you think?

No, I reckon he likes a bit of wine from time to time.

-What do you think?

-You're captain...

-I'll go for fish.

Fish goes across into the final.

We now know our six final categories.

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

And away they go. They can't hear us now, Sanny. Nice bluff on the wine!

It was a big gamble. It paid off.

They were suspicious,

-but Anastacia bought it hook, line and sinker.

-Yup.

Fantastic. Sanny, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

The all-important final. If you can achieve Perfection,

you could leave with £3,000. If you fail,

you'll leave with nothing.

Great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £4,000

on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Sanny, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly to win the £3,000.

Think carefully. No time limit,

but once you give an answer, your first answer is locked in.

-Ready?

-Yup.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

I think I've heard of that before.

"Loki" does sound a bit cunning,

but I'll go with...

-true on that one.

-True.

GCSE biology. Definitely no, that's wrong.

It's located on the bottom,

-so that's false.

-False.

'70s rock.

This is a tough one.

It's way past my date of birth.

Ritchie Blackmore? Have I heard of that before?

I'll go with true on that one.

True.

That's definitely basketball,

for Chicago Bulls.

Definitely not baseball. False.

False.

The only subject YOU chose,

Peep Show.

Aw...! That's so...

Was it Chris Morris?

I want to say something else,

but that sounds about right.

My mate will kill me.

Chris Morris?

Yeah, I'll go with true.

-True?

-Yeah.

And, finally, fish.

It's pretty impressive if they can.

That's false.

If it's right, then I hate fish.

LAUGHTER

With that, Sanny, those answers are locked in.

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

Which ones are you unsure of?

A and C, mainly.

-A and C?

-Yeah.

Let's bring back the Usual Suspects, to see what they have to say.

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements.

Next to them are Sanny's answers.

Sanny, your answers are locked in.

If you think you made a mistake, you CAN unlock them

with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will, however, come at a cost.

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

-I'll go with Anastacia.

I think you may have one wrong.

Overall, you've done very well.

I won't come down to help you.

Because?

I think he'll be all right on his own.

Do you think she's telling the truth or does she think

-the money will roll over?

-She thinks the money will roll over.

-Do you want to hear from somebody else?

-Yeah, we'll go with Jane.

I think you've one wrong,

but don't think I could give you the right answer. I'd be no use.

-Do you want to hear from anybody else?

-We'll go with Rich.

It's definitely two wrong.

There's one I'm not sure of.

It'd be too much of a risk to come down, so I'm not coming down.

There's a bit of cash on offer here.

It's a big risk if I don't know one of them.

I definitely know I have five right,

but am not sure on the other one. It's big money.

Anastacia, you've been there all week.

You might as well move down here.

This is your only chance, I think.

-Are you tempted by that, Anastacia?

-I AM tempted...

I've got five, but I'm such a generous guy...

I've done all the work here, but...

I'll give you half. I'll give you £1,500.

I'm going to go for it.

You coming down?

-I'll come down, yeah.

-Rich?

-No, I'm certain there's two wrong.

-Jane?

No, I'll stay where I am.

-I'd rather have Anastacia, anyway.

-LAUGHTER

So, negotiations have been agreed.

Anastacia, for £1,500 of the £3,000, please come and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Sanny, you have Anastacia for help. If you achieve Perfection,

it'll cost you £1,500 of your potential prize fund of £3,000.

Anastacia, you've now forfeited your chance to play in the next game.

This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision?

All six answers are now unlocked.

Anastacia, which answers do you want Sanny to change?

Truth is, I wouldn't change any of them.

AUDIENCE GROANS

Truth is, I'm not that sure about all of them.

So, essentially, Sanny, you bluffed Anastacia by telling her you had

five out of six and were fairly sure of the last one,

-to get her down here?

-Yeah.

Anastacia, you came down

thinking he had them all right and you'd take half the money.

So, you might want to have a run through them now. What do you think?

D's definitely right, basketball.

E, that looks right, doesn't it?

I thought you might have known the answer.

Is it all right with C?

I don't know.

This is great(!)

LAUGHTER

The boards aren't locked.

You can change all of them, some of them or none of them.

-Shall we just keep them?

-Yeah.

-Lock them in?

-Yeah.

Lock them in, without any changes!

All the answers are now locked in.

£3,000 at stake. £1,500 to Sanny

and £1,500 to Anastacia.

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

At the top, Loki is a cunning trickster in Norse myth.

Sanny, you had no idea, but thought it sounded cunning.

Definitely, sounds a bit sneaky.

You started with true. Anastacia didn't change it.

You're looking for it to turn green.

Is it true or false?

It's true!

APPLAUSE

-Well done.

-Congratulations.

The Gluteus Maximus muscle is located in the neck.

You said that was false, Sanny. Anastacia was happy with that.

This is one the two of you are certain of?

Probably be the only one.

It should turn red. Is it true or false?

It IS false!

APPLAUSE

It IS in the buttocks.

Ritchie Blackmore was a member

of Pink Floyd.

Sanny, you confessed you didn't know.

Nah!

Anastacia came down, couldn't help you out.

You went with true. You decided to stick with true.

Was Ritchie Blackmore a member of Pink Floyd?

It should turn green if you're right.

Is it true or false?

It's false.

It's false!

I'm afraid you failed to achieve perfection.

You're not going home with the cash.

He was a member of Rainbow

and Deep Purple,

but not Pink Floyd.

I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Let's carry on through the questions.

Michael Jordan...

It's true.

He retired from NBA basketball in 1994,

then played for a minor league baseball team, the Birmingham Barons,

before going back to basketball after.

Impressive.

Peep Show...

Is it true or false?

It's false. Jesse Armstrong, Andrew O'Connor

and Sam Bain.

Not Chris Morris.

Flying fish...

Is it true or false?

Yes, it's false.

-They fly for about 400 metres. Still a long way.

-That's impressive!

Either way, three right, three wrong. You bluffed each other

and are going home with nothing.

Usual Suspects, that's great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £4,000.

APPLAUSE

Sanny, you failed to achieve Perfection. And you, Anastacia.

You both go home with nothing.

But thanks for an entertaining game.

Ladies and gentlemen, Sanny and Anastacia!

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for.

Please join us next time,

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £4,000.

But remember, on this show, we only pay for Perfection. Goodbye!
