Episode 16 Perfection

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

Behind the screen are four contestants who hope their knowledge is flawless

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

APPLAUSE

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

Behind me are the contestants.

We call them the Usual Suspects. They're in our Isolation Room.

In a moment, we'll find out which one of them

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:

Would you say that was 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,

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

So, you know how the game works.

Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

Hi, my name is David.

I live in Market Bosworth in Leicestershire.

I'm a financial controller, and this is my first game.

Hi, my name's Helen. I live in Leicester.

I'm a care co-ordinator, and this is my second game.

Hello, my name is Terry. I'm from Southend.

I'm a taxi driver, and this is my third game.

Hi, my name is Jane.

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

and this is my fifth game.

Hello, Usual Suspects, and welcome to newbie David.

-How are you, all right?

-Fine, thank you.

So, you're into your quizzes and stuff, are you?

Yes, I present and compile pub quizzes.

-So you know all the answers to everything?

-My memory's not what it

used to be, so there's certain things I can remember, and some rubbish I can't.

LAUGHTER

Welcome. We find out which one of you's been picked to play.

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

Please come and play Perfection.

Terry, welcome to the game. Let's find out a bit more about you.

Tell us about your family.

I've got a son, nine years of age.

With the prize money, we have a traditional family holiday, where nine of us go away.

That'd be sister, daughters, brother-in-law, Mum and Dad.

So that makes the nine up. That's what I'll use the money for.

And you think that your time spent waiting for fares and reading

has built up your general knowledge?

Yeah, cabbies do sit around a lot,

and it gets boring, so I like to keep my mind active.

All right, Terry, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates. Now they're your enemies.

-Anyone you've got your eye on?

-I'm worried about David.

-With his quiz knowledge.

Well, he should be dangerous.

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund.

Your failure means it rolls over to the next game.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news.

Nobody's won the last five games,

so the prize fund currently sits at £6,000.

Here's how the game works. You'll play three rounds, and then the final.

Every round you achieve Perfection makes the final easier.

However, if your performance is less than perfect,

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

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything.

And away they go.

You can now talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be answering against the clock.

You'll get 45 seconds, and once you've given your answer, it'll be locked in.

-Happy?

-Yeah, happy.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one, your 45 seconds starts now.

That's...

-false.

-False.

It's a different band, but I don't think it's Black Sabbath.

I've never heard of that.

I'm not really a casino-goer, so I'm going to say...

-false there.

-False.

I'm going to go for...

-true there.

-True.

Wild stab in the dark...

-False.

-False.

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

-Was that a good or difficult round?

-I didn't like that.

I wasn't comfortable with all of them.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements,

and next to them are Terry's answers.

Jane, has he achieved Perfection?

I'm not sure about D.

I think Osborne possibly did write Look Back In Anger.

David, what do you think?

I agree that John Osborne DID write Look Back In Anger.

I also think the Pacific is the world's largest ocean.

Terry, you need to have answered all statements perfectly to have won.

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

Two out of four, I'm afraid, isn't Perfection,

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

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Terry's answers. You need to change two. Which two is it going to be?

-D, definitely.

-I think we definitely change D, yeah.

Can we change D, please, Nick?

D changes from false to true.

-I know that Robert Plant wasn't in Black Sabbath.

-No, he wasn't.

-And I know Housey-Housey...

-Is that bingo?

-Yes.

-Yeah, so it's got to be C then.

Can we C as well, please, Nick, to false?

C changes from true to false,

leaving A and B as answered by Terry.

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

Robert Plant was a member of Black Sabbath.

Is that true or false?

It is false. It was, in fact, Led Zeppelin.

Housey-Housey's another name for roulette. True or false?

It's false. You're right, David. It is bingo.

The Atlantic is the world's largest ocean. Is that true or false?

It is false. It is, in fact, the Pacific.

You know where this is going.

Look Back In Anger is a play by John Osborne. True or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You've achieved Perfection.

Terry, they've managed to succeed where you failed, and as a result, they've stolen the round.

You now have the opportunity to make Terry's chances of winning

the prize fund much harder in the final.

Appearing before you, Terry, are your six blank spaces.

They all need to be filled with subject categories.

Starting with...

Capitals ranging through Wits, Brunel, and many more in between.

The Usual Suspects stole the round. They choose the categories, hoping to make the final harder for you.

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

I would go Rappers.

Terry doesn't look the type to know about rappers.

He doesn't, really, does he?

We'll do Rappers and...

Plays.

Well, he didn't know about John Osborne. So Plays might be a good call.

Can we have Plays and Rappers, please, Nick?

Plays goes across into The Final,

and so does Rappers.

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

Time to switch you off. See you in round two.

Terry, with the Usual Suspects gone and unable to hear you, do you know anything about rappers?

I think they possibly got it right. Yes, I am rubbish at that.

-And the plays as well.

-Which ones would you like from there?

-Possibly Capitals I would be good at. Money.

-Capitals and Money?

-Yes.

You have two more rounds to find Perfection and choose categories. Are you ready for the next round?

-I am perfectly ready.

-Let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That is definitely false. That is London.

-False.

-That is definitely true.

-True.

-That is November 4 so that is true.

-True.

J.Lo, J.Lo, J.Lo.

This is... I'm going to have to have a wild guess at this.

-I don't follow current music so I will go for true.

-True.

And with time to spare you answered all four statements.

-What do you think?

-Honestly stumbling on the J.Lo one.

-But the rest of them all right?

-Yes.

They were more natural.

Before we reveal exactly how you have done, time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Terry's answers.

-Helen, has he achieved Perfection?

-No. Independence Day is July 4.

Thanksgiving is in November.

But the other three I think he has got right.

-David, has he achieved Perfection?

-I would agree Independence Day is in July.

Terry 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 not bad,

but you failed to achieve Perfection.

You have allowed the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Terry's answers. You need to change one.

-I think we will go for C.

-Will you? Really?

C changes from true to false

leaving A, B, and D as answered by Terry.

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

Wormwood Scrubs prison is in North Yorkshire. True or false?

It is false. It is in London.

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher. True or false?

True.

In the USA Independence Day falls in November.

I said the fourth and I got the month wrong.

You said true, they changed it to false. True or false?

Yes it's false.

It's 4th July as said by the Usual Suspects so you know where this is going again don't you?

J.Lo had a UK number one single in 2011. Is it true or false?

It is true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you've failed

so that means they have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can make Terry chances of winning the prize harder.

Let us have a look at the final board. There it is.

Two subjects already chosen by the Usual Suspects. As you won the round

you get the right to choose the next two categories.

-There's a lot of words in the English language.

-Yes.

-Will we have Words?

-Yes. Can we go with words please?

You can. Words goes across.

-I still like the idea of the Dung.

-Do you want to go Dung?

-Would that make you happy?

-Yes it would.

-All right.

We will go Dung please.

-Just to please David.

-For David's benefit, apparently,

Dung. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

It's time to switch you off. See you in round three. How do you feel about Dung?

-They are well in control of the game. I think they've got me.

-Are you ready to play the last round?

-Perfectly ready.

-Yes. Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I am going to guess there and go false.

-False.

-I did not even know he got married. I will go for false.

-False.

-I've seen that name. That's true.

-True.

I remember I was leaving school at that time.

-'86 I was stuck at home revising. Definitely true.

-True.

And with time to spare you have answered all four statements.

Happy with that? You seem more positive.

-Yes, a little bit of guesswork again.

-Before we reveal how well you have done it is time to bring back

the Usual Suspects. Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them are Terry's answers. David, has he achieved Perfection?

No. There's at least one wrong.

Daniel Vettori plays cricket for New Zealand.

-The rest I'm not certain about.

-Helen, do you agree?

-I do agree.

I know nothing about cricket but one of my best friends loves cricket

so you pick up the odd fact every now and again.

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 not bad.

-But I think you've got a pretty good idea it's not good enough.

-Yes.

You let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, to steal the round you need to change one answer.

-I would definitely go with the cricketer.

-Yes I'm certain on that.

Can we just change C please from true to false?

I thought you might.

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

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

The coypu is a large reptile. True or false?

It is false. It is a large rodent.

Jamie Cullum married Jodie Kidd in 2010. True or false?

False, he married Sophie Dahl.

Daniel Vettori is a South African cricketer. True or false?

False, he is from New Zealand

as David said.

Neighbours first aired in The UK in 1986.

We know where this is going. True or false?

It's true. Congratulations,

Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Usual Suspects, you now the opportunity to make Terry's chances of winning

the prize fund as hard as it can be.

Let's see the final board. Four subjects already on there

all chosen by you and because, Usual Suspects, you won that round

you have earned the right to choose the last two subjects as well. What are they going to be?

Oscars have been going since 1929.

-There is a lot of Oscars there.

-I think the Bestsellers thing.

-Bestsellers.

-Not that you can't read, Terry!

-Oscars and Bestsellers. Yes.

-That's fine. I agree.

Can we have Oscars and Bestsellers?

Yes, Oscars goes across and Bestsellers.

We now know our six final categories.

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

What about you? You could have had two rounds where you got Perfection.

I think I rushed myself with some of those things and afterwards I have kicked myself.

I think you're right. You made mistakes by jumping in rather than taking a little bit of time.

Of course, the final, there is no time limit.

Anyway, Terry, for £6,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Terry, this is the all-important final. If you can achieve Perfection you could be leaving

with a prize fund of £6,000.

If you fail, you will be leaving with nothing which would be great news for the Usual Suspects

because one of them could be playing for a rollover £7,000

on the next game. What you want to do is win the money. That'll show them, won't it?

-Definitely. I'm up for it.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Good. Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Terry, here are your six final categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win £6,000.

Think carefully. There is no time limit. Once you have given an answer,

-your first answer is locked in.

-OK.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, I am ready.

Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

That was the guy that was married to Marilyn Monroe wasn't it?

Still, how long was he about before then? It's a tricky one.

-It's an old film, isn't it? 1930s. I want to go false.

-False.

What an amazing question.

Is that so bizarre that it's true?

Can't even picture Ice Cube, so they've got me right,

sussed me out, haven't they?

-It just seems so bizarre I'm going to say true for that one.

-True.

3,000 years, triennium.

I don't think I've ever heard the term triennium.

-I'll go for false.

-False.

That's the guy who does all the bizarre sculptures.

The sheep and stuff like that.

Have I read in the papers that he's used elephant dung?

"Often". Is that saying he uses it every time?

I've gotta go false here,

because "often" says he works with elephant dung all the time, to me.

That's what that says. False, yeah.

False.

It won an immense amount.

I would say...

I think it's 12.

I've gotta go false there, Nick.

False. And finally...

I think that's another author.

The Lost Symbol...

I'm going for false there.

False.

And with that, those answers are locked in.

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

Which one are you must unsure of?

All of them!

Well, you've got a 50-50 chance on each one on a true-or-false.

Let's switch on the Usual Suspects. You can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Terry's answers.

Terry, your answers are locked in, you can't change them 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 come at a cost.

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

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

Terry, who'd you like to hear from first?

Erm, let's try Jane.

There are definitely two that I know are wrong.

-Right.

-I'd possibly come down and bargain,

if the money was right.

£6,000 on offer here, isn't there?

If I was to offer you £1,000 each for your two answers?

Oh, no!

-No?

-I think we'd have to halves!

It's something to think about. I'll need to chat with the others first.

David.

Terry, I'm certain at least one of them's wrong

and possibly a second, but I'm not 100% certain,

-so you would be without me, I'm afraid.

-Not at any price?

No, not for the whole lot!

-£6,000 at stake.

-Helen, finally you, darling?

I know that you've definitely got one wrong, possibly two,

but I wouldn't want to walk away with absolutely nothing.

I think I'm going to have to leave you to it, Terry, and good luck!

What about Jane? She said she's up for coming down.

She's bluffed a few times when I've been in the box with her so I think she's just using that to get me out

-and build the fund up.

-She says she'll come down for half your money.

Half the money? Am I being stupid?

HE LAUGHS

D'you know what? I'm going to do it meself.

-You're going on your own?

-Definitely.

-Lovely. Negotiations are over, £6,000 at stake,

six answers away, let's find out if you've achieved Perfection.

Let's start at the top, then.

You said that was false. We need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

-It's false.

-APPLAUSE

Tennessee Williams.

Ice Cube studied architectural drafting at college, true or false?

You said true. We need this to turn green.

-APPLAUSE

-There you go.

Congratulations, two out of two. You're a third of the way to the money.

C.

You said that was false.

You spent a long time thinking about this one.

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

-APPLAUSE

-It's false! It's three years.

Halfway to £6,000 on your own.

-Have you pulled it off?

-No. I think there's something just going to kick me

right in the wrong place.

-LAUGHTER

-Damien Hirst often uses elephant dung in his art.

You said false. We need this to turn red

to leave you just two away from the money.

Damien Hirst often uses elephant dung in his art, true or false?

-False.

-APPLAUSE

Chris Ofili often uses elephant dung in his art.

So, £6,000. You're two away from it now.

-Oh!

-You thought you had no chance at all when we started

and here we are, two-thirds of the way to the money,

four correct answers and moving on to E.

-You thought that was false.

-I thought it was 12, yeah.

Yeah. So we need this to turn red to put you one away from the £6,000.

Is it true or false?

-APPLAUSE

-It's false!

Oh!

Oh, I can't believe it!

Titanic won 11 Oscars, just to clear that up.

I've got down to the last one and I've guessed every one! LAUGHTER

-Have you really?

-Yeah, I'm not a liar, honestly, yeah!

-I can't lie, I haven't got in me!

-You all right? Breathe!

-You all right, son?

-I'm struggling!

I'm going to jelly! Oh!

Five out of six and just one to go.

Terry, you said you sat around reading books in your taxi.

When this came up...

-Oh, this is torture!

-..you thought that may not be true,

you thought it was a different author, so you went with false.

You therefore need this to turn red

to walk out of here with £6,000 to spend on that family holiday.

John Grisham wrote The Lost Symbol.

I can't do it. I can't do it!

Is it true or false for £6,000?

Please hurry up.

It's false.

Yes! Yes!

-APPLAUSE

-You have achieved Perfection.

Yes! Yes!

Congratulations. Well done. You did a great job. Look at that board.

You achieved Perfection with six correct answers.

It was not John Grisham that wrote The Lost Symbol.

-It was in fact...

-Dan Brown.

-Dan Brown. Can you believe that?

-I can't believe it. It's amazing.

-Let's talk about the £6,000. You have won £6,000.

-You want to take your son on holiday.

-I have got Mum and Dad, sister, brother-in-law, three nieces.

-They have got a free holiday as well. Yes!

-Fantastic news.

Unfortunately for you, Usual Suspects, the prize fund has been won,

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

-Congratulations, Terry.

-Thank you.

-Early in the game after they chose all the subjects

I said the only way you can get them back is by winning the cash. You only went and did it!

Congratulations. Ladies and gentlemen, Terry who achieved Perfection and won £6,000.

APPLAUSE

How do you move on from that?

It is time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

-New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

-Hi my name is Hems.

-I am from West Hamilton. I am a coffee-shop owner.

-You run a coffee shop?

Those are normally at the centre of town these days.

-Yes. Have you ever been to Leicester?

-I have been to Leicester. Lovely city.

-Why haven't you been in my shop?

-I'm sorry! I'll get there as soon as possible.

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

Helen, it's you that's been chosen. Please come and play Perfection.

-Hello, Helen.

-Hi, there.

-Nice to have you down here.

-Thank you.

-Welcome.

-Tell us more about yourself and your family.

-I am 31 years old. I live in Leicester.

I work as a care coordinator for a domiciliary care company.

We provide care to elderly vulnerable adults within the home.

I am going to university to study mental health nursing.

-You'll learn a whole new skill set?

-Yes.

Surrounded by people young enough to technically be my children.

That's not true at all! Can't possibly be true! It is you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates. Now they are your enemies. Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

-Unfortunately for you, the previous game was won so the prize fund is reset to £1,000.

-Yes.

But if you're going back to uni, £1,000 is very handy.

That is three months' rent. That'll keep a roof over my head.

Definitely. Let me remind you how the game works. You will play three round and then a final.

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

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects have a chance to steal the round making the final that much harder.

Usual Suspects, we're switching you off so you can't see or hear anything.

-And away they go. Ready?

-Yes, I am.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds start now.

-Erm...true.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-Yeah.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

Loads of time left, but you answered all four statements. Happy?

Not really, but...!

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements, and next to them, Helen's answers.

Jane, has she achieved Perfection?

I think she might have done.

-David, what do you think?

-There's at least one wrong -

the light year is a unit of distance, in astronomy.

-Hems?

-I am sure that Andy Carroll

didn't sign for Chelsea. I thought he signed for Liverpool.

Helen, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly. Let's find out how many are correct.

Two out of four. Just not good enough, I'm afraid.

You haven't achieved Perfection.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

-You need to change two of them.

-A...?

I'm sure A is wrong.

I think you're probably right. And a light year is a unit of distance.

And I think the two middle ones are definitely correct.

All right, can we change A from true to false, please?

And D from false to true.

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

You're absolutely right, Hems, that was Liverpool.

The comedian Harry Hill qualified as a doctor...

You know where this is going, Usual Suspects...

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've achieved Perfection!

APPLAUSE

-Oh, dear, Helen.

-Well, I knew the football one was wrong,

cos I know absolutely nothing about football!

There's a 50-50 chance, you might have guessed right.

Either way, they managed to steal the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Helen's chances

of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

This is your final board.

These six blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your final round categories...

But, because the Usual Suspects stole, they choose the two categories, hoping to make the final

harder for you to win. Usual Suspects,

which two subjects would you like Helen to play?

I would avoid Celebrities, Directors.

One that I would definitely take over is something like Bulgaria

or Composers.

Helen doesn't seem to be

the classical-music type.

She'll struggle with them.

Can we have Bulgaria and Composers, please, Nick?

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

it's time to switch you off and we'll see you in round two.

And away they go.

Helen, they can't hear you -

what do you think of their choices? Bulgaria...?

I'm rubbish at geography, so... But I think they guessed that.

Composers might be all right. I'm Grade 8 piano, but I've not played

-since I was 16.

-Oh, but you've done a bit of classical music, then?

It's only the first round, and you still have two more rounds to find Perfection. Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-I have literally no idea. True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

Loads of time to spare, but you've answered all four.

-Was that a better round?

-No, it was worse! Believe it or not.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These were the four statements, and Helen's answers.

David, has she achieved Perfection?

I think she probably has.

Hems?

She has got two of them correct,

A and D, but I haven't got a clue about the middle two.

-Jane, has she achieved Perfection?

-She might have done

in this case, yes.

Helen, the moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four. Close, but as they say, no cigar.

You failed to achieve Perfection.

You have let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change one of Helen's answers

but which one?

A and D are correct, I know that.

But I am not sure about Dee Caffari.

I don't remember the name for

James Bond, even as a co-writer.

-Let's go for C.

-Can we change C, please?

C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B, and D as answered by Helen.

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

Dad's Army was first shown in the 1950s.

True or false?

It is false.

It started in 1968.

Sebastian Faulks has written a James Bond book.

True or false?

It's true. You've blown it, Usual Suspects.

You have failed to achieve Perfection. You can't now steal the round.

I wonder whether you're still on for Perfection at home.

Let's go through the rest of the statements.

He did write the book - Devil May Care.

Moving on. Dee Caffari is a famous sailor.

True or false.

True.

And Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister in 1975.

True or false?

False. It was in fact 1979.

Let's have a look at the final board.

First two subjects chosen by the Usual Suspects,

but because neither side won that round the two categories that

were going to be chosen will now be carried over to the next round,

so four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off. See you in round three.

-Are you ready to play the next round?

-Let's do it.

OK, let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

You've answered all four statements.

-You look happy with that.

-I love Bradley Cooper.

-Do you?

Yes. I really admire his artistic skill.

B and C, I'm not too sure about.

I think the Cuban Missile crisis was during when JFK was alive.

But he died in the '60s. I might have got that completely wrong.

Before we reveal how well you have done, it is time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next of them are Helen's answers. Hems, has she achieved Perfection?

The first two she's got right.

The last two, I'm not sure on.

So, she might have a few.

I don't know.

David, has she achieved Perfection?

I said yes the last time and I was wrong,

but I'm going to say yes again this time.

Maybe I will be right this time.

You think it's a good set of answers.

-Jane, do you agree?

-I think she's got them right.

-Yes, well,

Helen, the moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Helen, you've achieved Perfection.

Let's have a look at those answers in more detail.

-You can sit there with a smug smile on your face.

-I'm good at smug.

Will Young won The X Factor. You knew that one straightaway.

It was Pop Idol.

You said false. It is of course... false.

It was Pop Idol. Greg Rusedski is a left-handed tennis player.

You said true. You are right. He is a left-handed player.

The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in 1972.

You said false. It is of course... false. It was 1962, not '72.

Bradley Cooper stars in The Hangover Part II

-and because of your interest in his artistic ability...

-Yes.

..you said true. It is in fact...true.

Bad luck, guys. She is on fire at the moment.

-She's doing very well.

-Let's have a look at the final board.

You've earned the right to choose the next four categories to

add to the board. That's two from this round

and two that rolled over from the previous round. Which ones do you fancy?

Celebrities, definitely.

-Celebrities goes across.

-Yes.

-I'm going to go Weddings.

-Weddings?

-Yes.

-Gangsters.

-Gangsters.

I'm going to go for novels as well in the vain hope that it's one I've read.

Novels goes into the final.

We now know our six final categories. They are:

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

-Away they go. That is a good board isn't it?

-Yes. Apart from Bulgaria.

It might be something you know about Bulgaria.

-It'd be a shock to all of us, including me.

-Helen, for £1,000

it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection you could be reading with a prize fund of £1,000.

If you fail you'll be leaving with nothing which is great news for these Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £2,000

in the next game. Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements

correctly if you want to win £1,000.

Think carefully. There is no time limit. But your first answer

-is locked in.

-OK.

-Ready?

-Yes, sure.

The first statement:

I have literally no idea whatsoever. I don't think they're in the euro.

So... I've never even heard of the forint. It could be

the monetary unit on the moon for all I know.

-Let's say true.

-True?

-Yes.

He is a British composer. That's a good start.

This is awful. This is something I should know, the national anthem.

Let's say...

-..false.

-False?

-Yes.

That's the two subjects chosen by the Usual Suspects out of the way.

-Now we're into subjects chosen by yourself.

-Yes.

-True.

-True?

-Yes.

I know she married Richard Burton twice.

-It was either eight or nine. I'm going to say eight, true.

-True?

-Yes.

-True.

-True?

-Yes.

-I think that's true.

-True?

-Yes. Let's go.

So, Helen

those answers are locked in.

If there is one mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-Tom Cruise did date Cher. That's right.

Al Capone was imprisoned for tax evasion.

That's all they could get him on.

John Steinbeck wrote The Grapes Of Wrath.

I'm not sure about the number of times Liz Taylor was married

and the first two are pure guesses.

-So A, B and D are your worries?

-They really are.

-Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

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

Next to them are Helen's answers.

Helen, your answers are locked in.

You can't change them yourself. You can unlock them with the help

of the Usual Suspects at a cost. Who would you like to hear from first?

Let's hear from Jane.

I think there's one wrong, but I'm not prepared to come down.

-Definitely not?

-No.

-Not for any amount of money?

-No.

She's not sure, then.

David.

Those are good answers but one of them

at least is definitely wrong and as it's only £1,000 you're on your own.

I thought I probably would be.

-He wants the money to roll over.

-I know. Go on, Hems.

I know for a fact you got one wrong.

But there are two or three which I don't know either way so even if

I came down I wouldn't be able to help you.

How much would it cost you to help me with that one that you know is wrong?

Even if you offered me £999.99 I would not take it

-because it would not be worth my while.

-Well, that's fine. Thanks for your help.

-I'm sorry.

So, Helen, none of our Usual Suspects willing to help. £1,000 at stake.

Six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved Perfection.

I'll tell you what.

Let's start with your categories

because you felt more comfortable on those.

Let's go from the bottom and work up.

John Steinbeck wrote The Grapes Of Wrath.

You thought that was true.

We need this to turn green. True or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

There you go.

Al Capone was imprisoned for tax evasion.

-You said you absolutely knew this to be true.

-Yes.

-So it will turn green?

-I hope so.

-We all hope so. True or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

A third of the way towards the money.

Elizabeth Taylor married eight times.

You thought it may be eight or nine, but decided to go with true.

-Yes.

-True or false?

APPLAUSE

-Seven different men, Richard Burton twice, as you said.

-Yes.

Tom Cruise once dated Cher.

You said that was true. True or false?

It will turn green if it's true.

You will be only two away from the £1,000. Tom Cruise once dated Cher. True or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

-That's all of the subject categories that you chose.

-Yes.

-We now move to the two that the Usual Suspects chose for you.

-Yes.

Edward Elgar composed God Save The Queen.

-I think I've got that one wrong now.

-Do you?

-I think I got it wrong.

-You think you might have done?

-Yes.

-You said false.

-We need it to turn red for you to be one away from £1,000.

-Mm-hm.

Is it true or false?

-It's false.

-APPLAUSE

-Oddly enough, its authorship is unknown.

-Oh, right.

-My word. You weren't very confident

-when we started, but here we are.

-This is the worst one, definitely.

-Is it really?

-Yes. I have no clue

about Bulgaria or money in any monetary unit.

So, you are now one answer away from walking out of here with £1,000.

Fingers crossed. The forint is the monetary unit of Bulgaria.

-You owned up to the fact that you had absolutely no idea.

-No. Not a clue.

-This was just a guess.

-Yes.

You said it was true.

The forint is the monetary unit of Bulgaria.

True or false? For £1,000...

It's false.

AUDIENCE GROANS

-Oh, well.

-It's the monetary unit of Hungary.

When you think about it, you said that was a tough board,

you didn't have much confidence, and in the end it came down to a 50-50.

One you got right,

one you got wrong.

You failed to achieve Perfection. You go home with no money.

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 £2,000.

APPLAUSE

-Helen, you failed to achieve Perfection.

-Oh, well.

That means you go home with nothing. But did you enjoy playing?

-Yes, loved it.

-Lovely having you here. Ladies and gentlemen Helen.

APPLAUSE

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 £2,000.

Remember, five out of six isn't good enough on this show.

As we have seen, we pay only for Perfection. Goodbye.
