Episode 15 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands nothing less than perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants who hope

their knowledge is flawless because a mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

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

They're in our isolation room.

In a moment, we'll find out which one has been randomly selected

to join me here to play Perfection.

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

For example, if I said Joe Louis was a world boxing champion

in the 1940s, would you say that was true or false?

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

Answering true or false might seem easy but if a contestant

gets a single answer wrong, their opponents

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

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

Hello, my name is Terry, I'm from Southend, I'm a taxi driver

this is my first game.

Hi there, my name's Stewart, I'm from Edinburgh, I'm a media student

and this is my first game.

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

This is my second game.

Hi, I'm Jane, I'm from Rossendale in Lancashire, I'm a housewife

and this is my third game.

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

who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Stewart, it is you.

You've been chosen.

Please come and play Perfection.

Stewart, welcome to the game. Tell us a bit more about yourself.

Living at home or at university?

I'm living at home at the moment.

Any money that I win hopefully will be used to try and get me

into my own place.

That would be nice.

And I would like to take my parents on holiday,

to thank them for all they've done for me

through my life so take them somewhere nice.

-Well that's very nice, somebody applauding in the audience there.

-APPLAUSE

A mother thinking, "Why hasn't that happened to me?"

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

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

Your failure means the money rolls to the next game,

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. The good news:

nobody has won the last three games.

So the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

APPLAUSE

You'll give some to Mum and Dad?

-Erm, yeah.

-That's very nice, very nice indeed.

Not enough young men do that, Son!

LAUGHTER

Here's how it works. You play three rounds and a final.

Every round you achieve perfection

will make the final easier for you.

If you're less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have the chance to step in and steal a round,

making the final much harder to win.

More of that to follow later.

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

And away they go.

Stewart, you can talk through answers without giving away knowledge.

-All right?

-Yeah.

-Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll answer against the clock. You only get 45 seconds.

And once you've given an answer, your first answer will be locked in.

-All right? Ready?

-Yeah, let's go.

-Let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Round One, your 45 seconds starts now.

I've... I don't think that is correct. So I'll say false.

False?

-Not a clue. A stab in the dark I will say false.

-False.

Erm. I think that's false as well.

False. And finally...

Erm, false.

False. And plenty of time to spare.

You've answered four statements. How was that round?

Yeah, a couple there I'm not sure of. I'm not sure about C.

And B. I'm not sure about the middle two there.

Before we reveal how you've done,

we'll bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these are the four statements

and next to them are Stewart's answers.

Rich, has he achieved perfection?

Erm, I don't believe so but to be honest with you,

these questions, I'm not sure myself, most of them.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Terry, are you struggling with these questions?

Um, no, he's definitely not achieved perfection there.

B's definitely wrong. I remember that World Cup '90, Pavarotti.

That's definitely none shall sleep so that's true.

-Right.

-Frank Sinatra did have a lot of wives and I think there's

a connection with Mia Farrow so I'm going to go true for that, too.

Interesting. Stewart, the moment of truth.

You need to answer all four perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Two of four not good enough. You failed to achieve perfection,

which means your enemies have been let in.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Stewart's answers.

You need to change two. Which two are you going to change?

-Go on then. B and C?

-Definitely.

-Can we change B and C please, Nick?

The discussion's already happened!

You want to change B from false to true.

And C from false to true.

Leaving A and D as Stewart originally answered.

Usual Suspects, let's find out the correct answers

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

False, it was his brother David who was Foreign Secretary.

Yeah, it's true. Well done, Terry, you are absolutely right on that.

True. Well done again, Terry. And finally, and you know

where this is going now, Usual Suspects.

False.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

She was a very good amateur jockey but never an athlete.

Stewart, they succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you've an opportunity to make his chances of winning

the prize fund that much harder in the final and here's how.

Appearing before you, is your final board.

These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories.

Starting with Folklore,

ranging through Lakes, Languages,

Muscles through to Rugby Union

and many more in-between.

Now, if you'd won that round,

you'd have added two categories of your choice

but because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you, they choose

two categories hoping to make the final harder for you to win.

Usual Suspects, which do you fancy?

I reckon The Clash, the '70s,

Stewart is too young for that.

Yeah, we'll go with that. Definitely.

Can we have The Clash as the first one please, Nick?

The Clash becomes the first subject in the final and one more.

-What was he studying at university?

-Media.

-Media.

-Maybe Languages.

-Languages?

-Yes. Go with it.

Can we have Languages as the second one please, Nick?

Languages goes across to become the second one in the final.

Well done, Usual Suspects.

You won the first round, we'll see you in Round Two.

And away they go.

Now they can't hear you, Stewart,

what do you make of those they've chosen? Heard of The Clash?

I've heard of them. Probably a bit too young to really know them.

Languages sound OK. I think I might be OK with that one.

-Which ones do you really fancy?

-I like the look of celebs.

-Rugby Union.

-Which ones do you want to avoid?

-I would like to avoid philosophy if I can and, um, lakes.

-And lakes?

Well, Stewart, it's only the first round

and you still have two more rounds to find perfection and choose

your own categories for the final.

-Ready for the next round?

-Yeah.

Good, let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I can picture them in my head, that's definitely true.

-True.

-I think it's more than that so, false, please.

-False.

He did have a blues album out. I think that was the title, so, true.

True, and finally...

I'm a big Formula One fan.

-I don't think he was a driver so I'll say false.

-False.

And once again with time to spare.

-You've answered four statements. That felt like a better round.

-Yeah.

I think I done better.

-Do you think you might have achieved perfection there?

-Um, possibly.

Before we reveal how you've done, here are the Usual Suspects.

So, these are the four statements

and next to them are Stewart's answers.

Rich, has he achieved perfection?

I'm not too sure, Nick. I know B and D are definitely right.

I'm not sure on C, honestly. I haven't actually heard of it.

And it's quite a recent album so I think that could be wrong,

if there is one wrong.

Right, Terry, what do you think?

Stewart might just have cracked this round.

I agree with Rich, C is a tricky one but I think that's true

so I'm good to go with that one.

I can't knock him for that.

May have achieved perfection say the Usual Suspects. Well, Stewart, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four perfectly.

To win the round, let's find out how many are correct.

-APPLAUSE

-Congratulations, Stewart,

you've achieved perfection.

Well done. Great play, let's run through those statements and answers.

Easter Island is famous for its stone statues,

-that is of course true. They're called moai.

-Right.

Only five men have played James Bond on-screen, that's false.

Famously there are six well-known people that have actually played him

-and then there's a couple of others, people like David Niven.

-Yeah.

-Did a comedy version of Casino Royale

and a couple of others. Anyway, the 2011 album "Let Them Talk" is by Hugh Laurie.

That was a really good pick, that's absolutely true.

-He's appeared a bit on various chat shows and things promoting it.

-Yeah.

Finally, Guy Martin is a Formula 1 driver. You said you were a Formula 1 fan

and didn't recognise the name so you said false.

You're absolutely right, it is false. Guy Martin

is actually a bike rider.

-TT.

-Yeah, and he's also got a TV programme

-where he does up houseboats with a mate.

-Ah, OK.

You may have seen him on that. Either way, as a result

of that perfect performance, you've made winning easier.

Let's see the final board. Here it comes

and two subjects on there chosen by the Usual Suspects but because

you won that round you choose the next two categories which should make the final a little bit easier.

So which two do you fancy?

-Could I have Celebs, please?

-Celebs goes across.

And...Kids' Books, please.

And Kids' Books. OK, Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look-in there.

I'll switch you off but we'll see you in the next round. Away they go.

So, well done. By choosing your own categories, you'll make the final

that little bit easier and you have one more chance to do that.

-Ready for the next round?

-Yep.

-Good, let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Ooh, um...

-I come from Scotland so I'll go for Scotland. Let's say true.

-True.

-Ooh, not a clue. Um...I'll take a punt, I'll say false.

-False.

I've heard of Muse, I don't know anyone who's in it. Um...false.

False, and finally...

Never heard of that in my life. I will say...

-Running out of time.

-..that's true.

-True.

Lovely, and with time to spare, you've answered all four statements.

-Happy with that?

-Tricky. I think I might have got a couple wrong.

-Not really sure.

-OK. Well, before we reveal how well you've done

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them are Stewart's answers. Rich, has he achieved perfection?

Yeah, he's done pretty well. Might have achieved perfection again. The only one is D.

I'm not a turtle expert

-so I don't know on that one.

-No. Do you know, I don't think I've ever met a turtle expert.

-Jane, has he achieved perfection?

-Again, I'm not sure about

-the Kemp's ridley but other than that, I think he could be right.

-OK, Stewart, the moment of truth.

You need to answer all four perfectly to win the round, let's find out how many you got correct.

-Ah!

-Congratulations, Stewart, you've achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Well, well, well. You're on fire at the moment.

-I wasn't expecting that to happen.

You've done very well. Let's take a look.

Scotland is larger by area than Wales.

That is, of course, true. The British fought at the Battle of Marathon.

You said that was false. It is, of course, false.

It's a Greco-Persian war. We were nowhere near it.

Guy Garvey is the lead singer of Muse, you said that was false. It is, of course, false.

Matt Bellamy is the lead singer of Muse.

And finally, a Kemp's ridley is a type of sea turtle.

You said that was true. Do you know what? It is.

Absolutely true, making you a turtle expert.

HE LAUGHS

So, Usual Suspects, done very well there, hasn't he?

-Very well.

-He has.

-Didn't get a look-in again. as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund easier. Let's look at your final board.

The first two chosen by the Usual Suspects. You chose the middle two.

Because you won that round, you get to choose the last two.

-So what's it going to be?

-Could I have...Buildings, please?

-Buildings goes across, and...

-And I like the look of Westerns, actually. I'll have Westerns.

And Westerns. We now know our six final categories. They are:

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

And away they go. That's a pretty good-looking board, isn't it?

Four chosen by yourself

and you were quite happy with choosing Languages of the two?

-Yeah.

-So you've got half a chance here, yes?

-Yeah, possibly.

Good. Stewart, for £4,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

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

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £4,000. If you fail,

you could be leaving with nothing which means

great news for the Usual Suspects and one of them could be playing

for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game

and you want to take the cash home, don't you?

-Yeah.

-Would be nice. Let's play the Final Round.

Stewart, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly

if you want to win the £4,000. Think carefully.

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

-Ready?

-Yeah, let's go.

-Good, let's reveal your first.

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

Um... I've not got the foggiest idea.

So this will be a guess.

-All lead singers have got, like, stage names so I'll say true.

-True.

Languages.

Not entirely sure.

Um...so this will be another stab in the dark.

-Um... I'll say...false for that one, please.

-False.

Now we're onto your subjects chosen by yourself. Celebs.

I'm not sure if it was 2010 or 2009. She did marry Alex Reid.

Um... It might've been at the start of 2010,

-so...true.

-True. Kids' Books.

I don't think that it was.

Um... No, I don't it was written by Henry Williamson.

I'll say false.

False. Buildings.

It's a very nice building, I've seen it. It's a very beautiful building

and it's one of those big skyscrapers in New York so, true.

True, and finally, Westerns.

Um...not sure.

I'll take a stab and if it's wrong, it's wrong, you know. Um...

-True.

-True. Stewart, those answers are locked in.

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

-Yeah.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-I'm not sure about F.

-Mm-hmm.

Um... Not sure about A.

-A and F, then?

-A and F, and maybe B as well.

-Really?

OK. Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Stewart's answers. Stewart, you can't change your answers

by yourself but if you think you've made a mistake

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you

to tell me how well you think Stewart has done,

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

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

-So Stewart, who would you like to hear from first?

-Terry.

-Hi, Stewart.

I reckon there you've got a couple wrong but to be honest

I've just got in this isolation box and I'm happy here so I think

even all the money you want to offer me, it's possibly not going to be enough.

-Anything?

-Well, what are you thinking?

-There's £4,000 on offer at the moment, so...

-I'd be happy with anything I could win, really.

-1,000, Terry?

-1,000 to help you...

-Sorry, mate. I'm going to be worth more than that.

-OK. Rich, please.

Yeah, I think you've got four right

but there's one I definitely know is wrong but one I'm not sure on.

Whether I'm willing to risk that one, cos I'm not sure, I don't think so, sorry.

-Anything, 1,000?

-No, no, nothing.

-OK. Jane?

Again, I think there are four that are right and two that are wrong.

But I couldn't actually commit with one

because I'm a bit unsure myself.

1,000, anything, to come down? 1,500?

No. I'll stay put, thank you.

Jane's staying put. Rich, are you definitely staying put,

-no matter how much?

-Definitely staying put.

-1,500, Terry?

I'm tempted, but like I say, I think I've just got here.

-Sorry, can't help you.

-OK.

-Do you want to up the offer? You have 4,000 to play with.

-No, I'll go for it.

-You'll go for it on your own.

-No guts, no glory.

Quite right. So, negotiations have been concluded, none of the Usual Suspects want to come down.

You've decided you don't want their help anyway. You're on your own. £4,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

-Right, A, B and F, you said you were worried about.

-Yeah.

Let's clear up the ones you're happy with.

Let's start with C, Katie Price married Alex Reid in 2010.

You said that was true. We need this to turn green to get you started.

Is it true or false?

-It's true. Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

-One out of one.

You know your celebs. Black Beauty was written by Henry Williamson.

You said that didn't sound right so you said false.

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

It's false. Well done. Anna Sewell was the author.

Two out of two and a third of the way to the £4,000 all on your own.

Let's move on. The Chrysler building is in New York.

You were fairly confident this was the case. You said true.

We need this to turn green to get you halfway to the money.

Is it true or false?

Yeah, it's true.

And you're right. It's one of the standout buildings in New York.

Very beautiful.

Right, so we come to F, Gary Cooper starred in High Noon.

This was one of the ones you said you were worried about.

You said it was true.

-Bit of a guess though, yes?

-Yeah.

-You need luck on your side here.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

You're all on your own, two thirds of the way towards the £4,000 cash that would

come in very handy and it looks like you didn't need the help of Terry.

Or did you? Let's go back

to the first two, chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Let's have a look.

John Mellor was the real name of Joe Strummer.

It was before your time. You admitted that yourself.

Terry thought that was the case, that's why he picked it.

John Mellor was the real name of Joe Strummer. You said it was true.

You need this to turn green to put you one away from the £4,000.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

Oh, man.

So, the four subjects you chose you got right.

One of the two subjects they chose you got right.

Have you managed to get six out of six

and are you going home with £4,000?

A bit of money back to your mum and dad,

all the things you wanted to do. You're one question away.

Pashto is an official language of Afghanistan.

You said it was false.

You need this to turn red.

For £4,000, Pashto is an official language of Afghanistan.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

It's true. How unlucky is that?

Five out of six. You played an amazing few rounds.

Two perfections achieved.

Look, the Usual Suspects, that's fantastic news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be paying for £5,000.

Stewart, you played really well.

You got close but close isn't good enough.

You failed to achieve perfection. You go home with nothing.

-I hope you enjoyed the game.

-It's been fantastic.

-Stewart, ladies and gentlemen.

-APPLAUSE

Well, OK, now it's time to meet the next Usual Suspects

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Helen, I'm a care coordinator and I'm from Leicester.

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

which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Rich, please come and play Perfection.

Rich, welcome to the game.

There were sighs from ladies in the audience as you walked in.

Let's run through the reasons why they're getting excited.

-You're a fireman.

-I am.

-Do you enjoy that?

-Love it, absolutely love it.

-And you do a lot of fitness work as well, don't you?

-Yeah.

-What's it you've been doing?

-I've done my first triathlon.

A bit of a rugby player but I sustained a shoulder injury this year.

It was time to think of something else.

-Something gentler - triathlons(!)

-Yeah!

It's like miles of swimming, miles of cycling and miles of running.

It's not that bad.

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

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news, no-one has won the last four games,

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

-Now, that's a decent lump of cash, isn't it?

-It is.

What would you spend it on if you won it?

Currently trying to buy a house at the moment for my wife and myself.

We've been living with the in-laws to save some money

so I'd probably treat them to a holiday because they've been good as gold.

-That's really nice.

-Definitely.

All right, three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off now.

As soon as Rich makes a mistake, you're back in the game and away they go.

Rich, you can talk through your answers without giving away

-any vital knowledge because they can't hear you. Ready?

-Yeah, ready.

-Let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Round One, your 45 seconds starts now.

-He's quite old. I would say that's true.

-True.

Again, I think that's true. I'm not too sure but I will go with true.

True.

I like my geography. I've never heard of that before. I will go with false.

False. And finally...

-It sounds ridiculous so I will go with true on that one.

-True.

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

-That felt like quite a good round.

-Mm, not so sure.

Well, before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects. Usual Suspects,

these were the four statements and next to them are Rich's answers.

Helen, has he achieved perfection?

I would say yes, I think he has.

I'm a little bit "mm" on one or two of them but I would say they're

pretty good guesses so yeah, I would say yes, he has.

Terry, what do you think?

I don't think so.

I would probably change B because I think Marco Polo

was an explorer so I would go false there but...

-Jane, has he achieved perfection?

-I think he might have done.

The Usual Suspects thinking you may have achieved perfection.

The moment of truth. You need to have answered the statements perfectly to have won.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Rich, you've achieved perfection.

-APPLAUSE

-Your laugh suggested you were as surprised as anyone else.

I wasn't expecting that, to be honest.

Look, let's look those answers in more detail.

Anthony Hopkins was born in 1930s. You said true, in fact it is true.

1937 in fact.

Marco Polo was a Venetian traveller and writer you said true.

He absolutely was. Cathay is a former name of Hawaii.

You said that didn't sound right, said it was false.

It is in fact false. It's an archaic name for parts of China.

And somnambulism is another name for sleepwalking, is absolutely true.

Well done, you.

As a result of that perfect performance,

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

In front of you are six blank spaces. They need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories, starting with Police, running through Greek Myth,

Inventors and finally Board Games. Many more in-between.

Because you've won the round, you can choose two categories to add to the board.

-Which two would you like to play in the final?

-Astronomy, please.

-Astronomy. And?

-Board Games.

And Board Games. Lovely. The Usual Suspects, we'll see you in the next round.

You might get a look in then. In the meantime, we're going to switch you off. Away they go.

Rich, with the Usual Suspects gone, what ones do you really not want to get?

-Greek Myth and probably Homes as well.

-And Homes.

-OK, Rich, you've made a great start the game. You ready?

-Yeah, I'm ready.

Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I've heard the name before. I will go with true on that.

-True.

-That's false.

-False.

-That's true. Definitely.

-True and finally...

I should imagine there are quite a few.

I will go with true on that again.

True and with loads of time to spare,

you've answered all four statements.

You seemed a bit more confident that time.

Yeah, the two middle ones I'm pretty confident on those.

The top one, I'm not too sure. And D is probably right.

OK, before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements with Rich's answers.

-Terry, has he achieved perfection?

-Definitely not.

I questioned his answer on B in the last round

and I'll change that one again because definitely

Prince Andrew flew in the Falklands so that's true for me.

Yeah, he's got one wrong so that's what I'm going for.

-Jane, what do you think?

-I think B also.

-I think he's trained as a pilot.

-Helen?

Yeah, I'm with them. I think that Prince Andrew is a helicopter pilot

because there's the whole royal connection with Prince William doing it as well.

Right, Rich, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all the statements perfectly. Let's find out how many.

Just one out of four. You weren't

very sure about the first round.

This one you were more confident on. It's certainly not perfection.

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

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? Hold your horses, Terry.

You can see Rich's answers, you need to change three of them.

Which three is it going to be?

I think we'll change B, from false to true, please.

-B changes from false to true.

-HELEN:

-Paul Newman's right, it's named after

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid that he did.

-Are you sure?

-Hang on, was it Robert Redford that set it up.

-Maybe it was Robert Redford that set it up then?

-It is Robert Redford.

Change that to false.

Can we change A to false please?

A changes from true to false.

Definitely the Isle of Man is in the middle between the Republic

-and Wales, so that is the Irish Sea.

-HELEN:

-Yeah, the Irish Sea.

That one is right.

-HELEN:

-That would make the shark false.

Can we change D to false, please?

D goes from true to false leaving C as answered by Rich.

Usual Suspects let's get the correct answers.

Paul Newman set up the Sundance film Festival, true or false?

False. Well worked out.

It was in fact, Robert Redford, as you said.

Prince Andrew is a trained helicopter pilot, true or false?

It is true.

He did serve in the Falklands as a helicopter pilot.

The Isle of Man is located in the Irish Sea, true or false?

Absolutely true.

There are over 2,000 bones

in a shark's body? False.

Congratulations Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Do you know what?

There are no bones in a shark's body,

it's all hardened cartilage, believe it or not.

The Usual Suspects succeeded and stolen the round.

Let's see the final board.

The first two in the final were chosen by Rich.

Because you won the round you've earned the right,

to choose the next two subjects.

Which two do you think might trip him up?

I think girly subjects.

-Come on girls.

-Rom-Coms, Madonna.

What about Greek Mythology.

Maybe. Definitely Rom-Coms I would say.

-You can have one girl one.

-Rom-Coms.

-Right.

If we do Rom-Coms for us girls and then something a bit more meaty.

Are we putting Rom-Coms across?

-Yes, please.

-Rom-Coms goes across. And?

-Is he into cooking?

-I have no idea.

If he's a fireman, they adore that.

I like cooking, I never used to though.

Greek Mythology, so difficult for everyone.

-Are we looking to build the pot up or do we want him out?

-Do we want Greek Mythology?

Greek Mythology, please.

Greek Myth goes in. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

Nice to have more than one captain in the booth.

You won the second round, time to switch off, we'll see you in Round Three.

Now they can't hear you,

you said you didn't fancy Greek Myth, what about Rom-Coms?

Erm, I've watched a couple of films with the wife,

so I might know some.

OK, you still have one more chance to find perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

Let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Not... Not sure, I will take a guess, true.

-True.

-I think that's false, I don't think she has.

-False.

-False, Chelsea didn't win the Champions League.

-False.

And finally...

-That is also false.

-False.

And again, comfortably within the time, you've answered

all four statements.

Was it a good round or not?

Who knows, we'll find out.

I think I've got a couple right.

They say where you come from, half and half, rice and chips.

-LAUGHTER

-OK, before we reveal

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

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Rich's answers.

-Helen, has he achieved perfection?

-No.

-What's he got wrong?

Kim Basinger did win an Oscar for LA Confidential.

Ah! Rich, you need to have answered all four statements

perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Two out of four's

not good enough, I'm afraid. You haven't achieved perfection.

And now the Usual Suspects can steal the round.

Usual Suspects, you've got to change two. Which two is it going to be?

First of all, we'll change B please, Nick. We'll change that to true.

B changes from false to true.

-C is definitely false.

-It's a definite A.

-Yeah, definitely.

A yard isn't longer than a metre, I'm sure it's not.

A metre's longer than a yard.

That must mean that East Of Eden's wasn't written by Ernest Hemmingway.

-A must be false.

-Yeah, go for that.

-I'm with the girls.

-Yeah?

-Agreed?

-We'll change A, please,

Nick. We'll go from true to false.

A changes from true to false, leaving C and D as answered by Rich.

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

East Of Eden is a book by Ernest Hemmingway. Is that true or false?

It's false. It was John Steinbeck.

Kim Basinger has won an Oscar. Is that true or false?

-It's true. Were you worried there, Helen?

-Just for a moment, yeah.

You're right. Jose Mourinho

won the Champions League at Chelsea, true or false?

False. Never won it at Chelsea.

You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

A yard is larger than a metre, true or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved perfection.

A metre is in fact ten centimetres longer than a yard.

The Usual Suspects succeed where you failed and stole the round.

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity to make

Rich's chances of winning the prize fund harder.

Let's see the final board.

First two subjects chosen by Rich,

the second two subjects chosen by the Usual Suspects and now

because you won the round, you get to add the last two categories.

-Which will they be?

-What's your game-plan, girls?

-You want some things that will help you...

-I think we go Suet.

-It's a random subject.

-You wanted that last time, go on, yeah.

-HELEN:

-It's up to Jane.

-JANE:

-We'll have Suet please, Nick.

-Suet goes across and we need one more.

-How about Palaces?

-Palaces, I think is a good call, yeah.

-Yeah.

-Definitely.

And can we have Palaces as please? As well, please.

Palaces goes across. We now know our final categories. They are...

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

And away they go. What do you make of that board?

The last two? Suet and Palaces.

-Yeah, not too good.

-No.

-Never mind, you never know.

-Rich, for £5,000,

it's time to play the Final.

Rich, this is the all-important Final Round and if you achieve perfection

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £5,000.

Fail and you'll leave with nothing. Which would be great for the Usual Suspects, as one could play for

a rollover of £6,000 on the next game.

Let's play the Final Round.

Here are your final six categories.

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

Think carefully. There's no time limit but give and answer

and your first answer is locked in.

-You ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal the first statement.

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

Um...

I'm not sure to be honest with you Nick.

I'm just going to have to take a guess on it.

I'll go with false on that.

False.

I'd say it's been around quite a while. I'll go with true on that one.

True.

Not a strong subject of mine.

Educated guess, I'll go with true on that.

True.

Again, it's just going to have to be a total guess on it.

Don't know anything about Greek Mythology.

-I'll go with true.

-True.

Um...

Rings a bell. I'll go with true on that as well.

True.

And finally, Palaces.

I've heard of it. Whether it's in Delhi or not...

I'll go with...

Sometimes known as the Topkapi Palace.

-I'll go with false.

-False.

And with that, you've answered all six statements

and those statements are now locked in.

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

Which ones are you worried about?

-All of them.

-I had a feeling you were going to say that.

-It wasn't a great round, was it?

-My knowledge...

-I just don't know any of that, if I can be honest.

-Well,

let's rejoin the Usual Suspects. Usual Suspects, you can now see

the final six statements and next to them are Rich's answers.

Your answers are locked in, you can't change them. If you made a mistake,

you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will however come at a cost.

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

-Let's hear from Helen first.

-Helen.

Hi, I think you've definitely got two wrong. Definitely.

But I would like to hang on for a bit more money, to be honest.

No, I'm not going to come down to help you. Definitely one, and I'm fairly sure two you've got wrong.

So even if he offered £4,800 of the £5,000 you wouldn't come down?

He's not going to do that though, is he? So, no.

-No. Just needed to check and make absolutely clear. Who next?

-Terry.

I think they're a really tough set of questions. I think

there's a couple are wrong but I'm not confident I can help you. I don't want to come down

and muck it up for both of us. So, sorry, nothing doing from me, I'm afraid.

-No help there.

-If we can hear from Jean now then. See what she's got to say.

I think you've got two wrong but I'm not confident enough to actually come and help you,

I'm sorry.

So no help at all from any of you no matter how much money's offered?

-'Fraid not.

-No.

-No.

I'm afraid it looks like negotiations have finished already.

None of our Usual Suspects are willing to help so you're on your own.

£5,000 at stake, six answers away, let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

Let's start at the top and go top to bottom.

The Jodrell Bank Observatory is in Cornwall. You said that's false.

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

It is false. Very good.

It's actually in Cheshire. Trivial Pursuit was invented in the 1930s.

You said this was true.

This was the other one that you chose yourself.

If it's true it will turn green

and you'll be a third of the way towards the money.

Is it true or false?

It's false I'm afraid.

You failed to achieve perfection

and you're not going home with any cash. It was actually quite late

that it was invented, 1979.

Have you achieved perfection at home? Let's go through the rest of the questions.

Matthew McConaughey stars in Maid In Manhattan, true or false?

It's actually false.

It was Ralph Fiennes. You did say you weren't very good on your rom-coms.

The minotaur lived on the island of Crete. You said this was true.

We need it to turn green. True or false?

It is true. Pretty good.

-You're obviously better on myth than you thought.

-Yeah.

Traditionally, suet is a type of animal fat, true or false?

True.

There you go. And finally,

the Topkapi Palace,

sometimes called Topkapi is located in Delhi, true or false?

False. You're absolutely right.

It was in Istanbul. So considering how bad you thought the questions were,

-four out of six isn't bad at all, is it?

-Not good enough though.

You're right, it's not good enough to take the cash. Usual Suspects,

good news for you. The prize fund rolls over till the next game

where one of you could be playing for £6,000.

Rich, I'm afraid you failed to achieve perfection, which means that

-you go home with nothing. I hope you enjoyed playing.

-I've had a great day. Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen, Rich.

Well, that's all we have time for. Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects

have the chance to play again, this time for £6,000.

But remember, on this show, we'll only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
