Episode 18 Perfection

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

Four contestants hoping their knowledge is flawless,

because one 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 to play Perfection.

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

For example, if I said William Shakespeare died on St George's Day,

would you say that's 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 the contestant gets a single answer wrong,

their opponents, 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.

I'm Liam, from Hawick in the Scottish Borders.

I'm a full-time politics and social policy student and this is my first game.

Hello, I'm Scott, I'm from Oxford.

I'm the owner of a conference company

and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Gini, I'm from Eastbourne.

I work for Sussex police and this is my third game.

Hi, I'm Jane from Rossendale in Lancashire.

I'm a housewife and this is my ninth game.

Welcome all and best of luck,

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

Liam, it's you.

Please come down and play Perfection.

Liam, welcome to the game.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, where you're from and what you do.

I'm 19 years old, I'm from Hawick. I'm a student at Stirling University.

-What are you studying?

-Politics and social policy.

And how have you involved yourself in politics?

I've been involved in the Youth Parliament.

I was the first person to speak in the House of Commons at the dispatch box

that wasn't an MP from Scotland. So I kind of pride myself on that.

-Good for you. I hope you have a bright future ahead in politics.

-Well, who knows, who knows?

It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

They're now your enemies.

Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund

because your failure means the prize money rolls over

for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news, nobody has won the last three games

so the prize fund currently stands at £4000.

For a student that's fantastic money. What would you spend it on?

It would mean I wouldn't have to eat beans on toast all the time, or noodles.

I'd probably put it towards my student debt and buy a car with it.

Good luck. You'll play three rounds then a final.

Every round you achieve Perfection makes the final easier for you.

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect

the Usual Suspects have the chance to step in and steal the round.

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 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 only have 45 seconds and your first answer will be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then let's play Perfection.

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

I'm not too sure but I think that's false.

False.

No, because it was the First World War. That's false.

False.

It's either between France or Germany and I think it's France.

I'm going to say that false.

False.

Not too sure on that. I'm going to guess,

-I'm going to say that one's true.

-True.

-And with plenty of time to spare you've answered all four statements.

-Yes!

-Did that feel like a good round?

-Well, I think so but we'll see what happens.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done, it's time for us

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Gini, how has he done?

I think he might have a couple wrong. I used to be a big Harry Enfield fan.

I haven't actually heard of Cosmo Smallpiece

so that could be dodgy.

C - possibly Germany might be the largest EU country.

Thank you. Liam, 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 good but not good enough.

I'm afraid you did not achieve Perfection.

You have, as a result, let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You can see Liam's answers.

You need to change just one of them, but which one?

I think Germany is the largest EU country,

especially as it's now the two combined.

-I do, too.

-I think it's D.

-You think it's D?

-Yeah.

I don't think Cosmo Smallpiece is a Harry Enfield character.

I don't watch him so... And I haven't heard of the character.

-If you're sure then...

-I think it was Benny Hill.

OK. Let's go for that.

Possibly Les Dawson or somebody like that. I don't think it's Harry Enfield.

Can we change D please, Nick?

D changes from true to false leaving A, B and C as Liam first answered.

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

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

It's false, he is of course a cyclist.

False. First used in the Battle of the Somme.

You're absolutely right, First World War.

False. France is the largest.

Finally, and you know where this is going now.

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've achieved Perfection.

A Les Dawson character. Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Liam's chances of winning the prize fund harder in the final.

Appearing in front of your very eyes, this is your final board.

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

Here are your final round categories.

They range from bugle tunes

through Doctor Who, Scotland, cartoons with many more in between.

If you'd won that round you could have added

two categories of your choice to the board.

But because the Usual Suspects won the round

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

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

Well, Liam's a very young man, he's only 19, so '80s TV might be a challenge for him.

Could be.

Thank you, '80s TV goes across.

-What do you think, what's your feeling?

-Shall we try bugle tunes?

We'll try bugle tunes please, Nick.

Lovely. Bugle tunes goes across.

Well done, Usual Suspects, you've won the first round, time to switch you off.

We'll see you in round two. And away they go.

-So, '80s TV, what year were you born?

-1991.

Yeah. So that's going to be tough for you. And bugle tunes?

I don't know, It's a very specific thing so it might be a very simple answer.

What do you want to avoid?

Probably want to avoid the human body and probably animals,

I'm not too good with my biology.

-So what would you like out of that lot?

-Probably Scotland.

I'd take that one. I watch a little bit of Doctor Who,

so that might be a good category as well.

-Are you ready to play Round 2?

-I am.

-Let's play it. Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I'm going to say false on that one.

False.

-That's true.

-True.

I'm going to take a punt and say that is false.

False.

Again, I don't really watch Spider-Man films

but she's quite a big actress for publicity that might be true.

True. And with time to spare...

You've answered all four statements again.

-So what did you make of that round?

-I'm pretty certain on B,

I'm pretty certain Agyness Deyn is a model. I'm not too sure on the other ones to be honest.

I took a random guess.

Before we reveal exactly how you've done

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

So Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Liam's answers.

-Gini, has he achieved Perfection?

-I don't think so. I think A is true.

-I think the bruise is known as a contusion.

-OK.

Liam, moment of truth. You need to have answered all four correctly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

One out of four. In the first round you got three out of four.

-You're going in the wrong direction, mate.

-I am.

You failed to achieve Perfection.

You have now let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

-Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

-THEY CONFER

I haven't finished yet!

You need to change three of them, which are they going to be? Now you can start, carry on.

-I agree.

-She is a model.

-She's the tall, blonde one.

-Yes.

-I totally agree.

-That's the true, so the other three get changed.

-C and D should change.

-Can we change A, C and D, please?

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

D changes from true to false, leaving B as answered by Liam.

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

You know where this is going now.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

Kirsten Dunst is in fact in Spider-Man 3.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Liam's chances of winning the prize fund of £4,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

Already on there are two subjects chosen by the Usual Suspects.

You've earned the right to choose the next two categories to add to the board.

Which two do you fancy?

-If it was original Doctor Who I think it would be difficult.

-Yes, it would be difficult for him. But... I don't know.

-If he got that last one wrong he might not be great on his sci-fi.

-Yeah. Do you want to go for Doctor Who?

-Can we go for Doctor Who please, Nick?

-Doctor Who goes across.

And one more, please.

-What about hats?

-I think hat's a good call.

-Hats?

-Yeah, you sure?

-I think so.

-OK. Hats please, Nick.

Thank you very much. Hats goes across.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

It's time to switch you off but we'll see you in Round 3.

And away they go. That's handy, they chose Doctor Who for you.

-Yeah, I was pleased at that.

-I should imagine you were. Hats.

I don't know, who knows what might come up?

Hats is a wide subject area so we don't know until we see the question.

-You're not a secret milliner or anything?

-No.

-OK.

You still have one more chance to find Perfection and choose your own categories for the final.

-Are you ready to play the next round?

-I am.

-Good, let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I think that's false.

-False.

I know there's been quite a lot of people in the Tudors

-but I don't think she did. I think that's false.

-False.

I think that's a small... It's not a small kangaroo. Jumbuck.

I'm going to say that's false.

False. And finally...

Again, I'll take a guess on that and say it's true.

Again, with loads of time to spare, you've answered all four statements.

-Is that a good or a bad round?

-I don't think it's too bad.

-I have seen an episode of The Tudors but I don't think Joss Stone was in it.

-OK.

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

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

Has he achieved Perfection this time, Gini?

I have a problem with D. I think it was Jackson Pollock

who was famous for his drip paintings.

What do you think, Jane?

I think C is possibly wrong as well. I think a jumbuck could be a sheep.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just one out of the four. Certainly not Perfection.

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

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

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

I'd be happy with your mention of Pollock for D.

-I think...

-OK, change D.

-Can we change D please, Nick?

D changes from true to false.

-I think a jumbuck is a sheep.

-Yes.

-Yeah, let's go for it.

-Can we change C as well, please?

C changes from false to true. One more.

Between A or B.

-Joss Stone is a singer.

-I know her as a singer not an actress.

-Yeah.

-Shall we try that one?

-Let's try.

-And B please, Nick.

B changes from false to true, leaving A false, as Liam answered.

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

False. Discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen.

True. You know where this is going now, don't you?

Yes, it is.

They just mess with the English language all over the place, don't they?

It is false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

-And you're quite right, Gini, it was Jackson Pollock.

-Oh, great.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Liam's chances

of winning the prize fund about as hard as it can be. Let's see the final board.

So far four subject categories chosen by you.

And because you won that round you've earned the right to choose the fifth and sixth as well.

What do you think?

I wonder how his Hollywood celeb gossip is.

-He got a film question wrong earlier on.

-Shall we try that one?

-I think Hollywood.

-Shall we go for Hollywood?

-Can we have Hollywood please, Nick?

-Hollywood goes across.

He got the question about the human body wrong in an earlier round.

Want to try that one? His biology might be bad.

-And we'll try the human body as well please, Nick.

-Human body goes across.

We now know our six final categories. They are...

Usual Suspects, it's time to say goodbye to you for the final time. Cheerio.

-They read you like a book, didn't they?

-They have.

-Human body, you didn't want that.

-No.

-Hollywood?

I don't know, it might not be too difficult.

-It might be current celebrities or film stars.

-Yeah. OK.

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

APPLAUSE

Liam, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with the prize fund of £4,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing,

which would be great news for the Usual Suspects.

One of them could be playing for a rollover of £5,000.

-You wouldn't want that to happen.

-I certainly would not.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Liam, here are your final six categories. You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £4,000. Think carefully, there's no time limit,

but once you've given an answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-OK.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

Please tell me whether you believe it

to be true or false.

I know a couple of people that starred in it.

I think Rowan Atkinson was in it.

From what I know, I don't think Rik Mayall was in it.

-So I'm going to say false.

-False.

I had a feeling the Last Post was going to come up cos it's quite a well-known bugle tune.

From what I know about history at high school,

-I'm going to say that one's true.

-True.

No, I know that one, it's Gallifrey,

-so that one's false.

-False.

I am going to say...

-that is false, Nick.

-False.

I know Ashton Kutcher is quite young but...

I don't think Demi Moore is 25 years older.

I think the age difference might be smaller than 25 years

-so I'm going to say false.

-False.

Hmmm. Inion...

..sounds like it could be related to somewhere in the head,

if that makes sense at all.

Maybe I should have done a degree in biology.

-I'm going to say that's true.

-True.

Those answers are locked in.

Remember, if there's one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you worried about?

F, I'm not too sure about.

Maybe A and E.

-A, E and F.

-Yeah.

Let's see what the Usual Suspects have got to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

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

If you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will however come at a cost. Liam, who would you like to hear from first?

I think I'll hear from Jane, since she's been here the longest.

I'm glad these are your questions and not mine.

I could only guess at most of the answers.

There are only two I know to be correct.

I don't think I'm going to be much use to you at all.

Jane's ruled herself out. Who next?

I'll take Gini, please.

There's only one that I am 100% on.

The rest would have to be a guess. I don't think

I'm any use to you either really.

Not interested in coming either.

Scott, what are you thinking?

I know three

of the answers

but I have no idea on the others.

So again, I'd like to help you but I can't come down.

Am I guessing that none of you will come down,

even if he was to offer £3,900 of the £4,000?

-I think you could be right there, Nick.

-Really?! Nobody? No.

-Negotiations have been agreed inasmuch as none of them want to come and help.

-Fine.

So £4,000 at stake, six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved Perfection.

If the statement turns green, it's true.

If it turns red, it's false.

Not the Nine O'Clock News starred Rik Mayall.

You said that was false.

We need it to turn red. True or false?

It is false. Well done.

APPLAUSE

-Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones...

-Rowan Atkinson as well.

..Pamela Stephenson and as you said, Rowan Atkinson. Very good.

Reveille is another name for The Last Post.

Somewhere in your mind

you remembered this.

-I think so.

-You went for true. We need this to turn green

to get you a third of the way towards the money.

Is it true or false?

It's false. It's played in the mornings.

-Right.

-Last Post is played in the evenings.

I'm afraid, you haven't achieved Perfection

and therefore you're not taking home any cash.

I wonder whether you've achieved Perfection at home? Let's take a look at the rest.

The Doctor's home planet is Skaro. You said false.

-You were right. It was false. Gallifrey.

-Yes.

For somebody who doesn't know much about Doctor Who, that's very impressive.

A toque is a hat often worn by chefs.

You said that was false.

It is in fact true.

Demi Moore is 25 years older than Ashton Kutcher.

You said that couldn't possibly be the age gap.

So you said false. It is...

..false.

It's about 15.5 years so you were right on that.

Your inion is at the back of your head.

You said true. Is it true or false?

It is true. Good for you.

In the end, you got four out of six which wasn't a bad go on that.

-Thank you.

-Usual Suspects, the plan worked. It's good news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £5,000.

APPLAUSE

Liam, I'm afraid you've failed to achieve Perfection which means

-you go home with nothing.

-I really enjoyed it. Thanks, Nick.

-Good luck with the political career.

-Thank you.

-Ladies and gentlemen, Liam!

APPLAUSE

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

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi. My name's Gary, I'm from Stockport and I've got a barbershop.

Very nice to meet you, Gary. A barbershop, hey?

Not a good advert for it!

I was wondering whether to say it or not.

-I go it in first.

-Fantastic.

-I've got a terrible barnet. You might be able to sort me out.

-See me later.

-Smashing.

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

Scott, it's you who's been chosen. Please come and play Perfection.

-Scott, welcome to the game.

-Hi.

-Nice to be down here?

-Absolutely.

-Tell us about your family.

-I've got two daughters,

live separately from me. They're just outside Stratford-upon-Avon.

I live down in the lovely city of Oxford now.

Scott, it's you verses the Usual Suspects.

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

Every game of Perfection is worth £1,000. Nobody's won the last four games

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

Having mentioned the two daughters, I presume some of the money's going on them?

Absolutely. It might be nice to take them away for a short break.

-Anything else you're going to spend the money on?

-My car recently died

after 233,000 glorious miles...

so some will have to go towards that.

-If there's enough left to for me to take a short break, then I will do.

-Very nice.

Three rounds and a final to come. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off

so you can't see or hear anything. As soon as Scott makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

Scott, you can talk through your answers without giving away information.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then let's get straight into it and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

-I'm pretty sure that's true.

-True.

-Definitely false. I think it's Man United.

-False.

I...believe it's true.

I think a lot of them

-end with "bria".

-So, true.

-He's probably about that age. I'll go true.

-True.

Having spent some time thinking about the last one,

you've answered all four statements in the time. Was that a good or a bad round?

I think it started well.

-Erm, I'm not confident on the second two.

-You're not? OK.

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

we'll bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these were the four statements and next to them

are Scott's answers. Gary, has he achieved Perfection?

I think he's done really well. I'm not sure about the Spurs one.

-But the rest, I think he's got them right.

-Gini?

I think he might have achieved Perfection.

Scott, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly

to win the round. Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Scott, you've achieved Perfection.

That's the way to play the game! Let's have a look.

Beethoven continued composing after going deaf.

That is, of course, true.

Spurs have the most FA Cup titles.

That is... false.

Man United have 11, you were quite right.

Calabria is a region of Italy.

It is absolutely region of Italy.

And George Clooney's 50th birthday was in May 2011.

And you're right.

As a result of that performance, you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier.

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

Here are your categories.

Starting with Aircraft, ranging through Cricket,

Video Games, Nobility and on to Rastamouse

with other subjects in between.

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

-Which do you fancy?

-Real Names.

-Real Names.

-And Transport, please.

And Transport goes across. Usual Suspects, we'll see you in the next round.

Now we are going to switch you off.

Over on the left, look at those subjects,

which ones do you want to avoid?

-Rastamouse.

-Right. Any others?

I haven't played video games for a long time.

-You made a great start to the game. Ready?

-Absolutely.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I don't think it is, I think one of the Guineas races is,

-so I'll go false.

-False.

No, it's too early by a few years.

-I'll go false.

-False.

-Yes, they do.

-So you're saying?

-It's true.

-True.

I believe, if they are named after a Cayman, I think it's a crocodile?

-So, it's false.

-False.

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

-That seemed very confident.

-I had to think about the green berets.

I think it's the UN that wear the blue ones, so I think that's right.

Before we see how you've done, we'll bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements,

and here are Scott's answers.

-Gini, how do you think he has done this time?

-Hmm. Really tricky questions again.

C, I think possibly the Marine commandos wear red berets.

-But I'm not sure.

-Gary?

-Yeah, I think they do wear red berets.

Also, I'm not sure about the horseracing one. That could be true.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Scott, once again, you've achieved Perfection!

Let's have a look at those answers.

The Epsom Derby is the oldest English Classic.

We know that to be... false.

-It's the St Leger.

-So I was wrong anyway!

You were right in that you said it was false.

1901 saw the first non-stop Atlantic plane crossing.

That is, of course, false.

1919, you were quite right. Way too early, that.

That is, of course, true.

You said it was false,

and it is false.

-And you said it was named after?

-A crocodile?

Yeah, member of the alligator family. Same sort of thing.

That Perfect performance means you've made winning the prize fund easier.

Let's see the final board.

Two subjects already chosen on there by you

and because you won that round,

you get to choose the next two categories to add.

-What's it going to be?

-I'll go with Aircraft.

Aircraft goes across.

Pets please, Nick.

And pets goes across, too.

Usual Suspects, see you in the next round, where you might get a look in!

And away they go. Scott, well done.

Do you know, I don't think we've had anybody

get Perfection in all three rounds yet but you're onto it here.

Putting pressure on!

-Are you ready for the next round?

-I am.

-Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

It's false.

False.

I come from Oxford. I couldn't do it the disservice of saying it was true.

-It has to be false.

-False.

I believe he was.

-Yes, it's true.

-True.

I think there's a similar word.

I'm going to go false.

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

-How was that round?

-Dolph Lundgren can't have gone to Oxford! Please!

And the junket one... 50/50, for me.

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

So, Usual Suspects, here are the statements

and next to them are Scott's answers.

-Gini, what do you make of them?

-I think D is a problem

because I think junket is a dessert, like a blancmange.

Jane?

I think junket is a dessert.

I think it's in the Mrs Beeton book, actually.

Scott, the moment of truth.

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

Is it possible that you could set a new record for achieving Perfection in all three rounds?

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two out of four this time.

So you've let your enemies,

the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round?

You need to change two of Scott's answers.

Definitely D, change to true.

-Can we change D please, Nick.

-Yes. D changes from false to true.

I'm not sure about William Hague being made Home Secretary.

I don't think he was. I think that's false.

If you're confident with C.

I'm 90%. Definitely 90% confident.

OK, let's do that, then.

Can we change C please, as well, Nick?

C changes from true to false,

leaving A and B as answered by Scott.

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

Is that true or false?

It's false.

The Thames is the longest entirely in England.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

He got degrees in Stockholm and Sydney, though. He's a bright fellow, Dolph.

True or false?

It is false.

In actual fact, he was made Foreign Secretary,

not Home Secretary.

So you know where this is going, now.

Is that true or false?

It is, of course, true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-What sort of pudding is it, Gini?

-It's a sort of wobbly blancmangey thing.

Not very nice.

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

Usual Suspects, you now have your only opportunity,

to make Scott's chances of winning the prize fund harder. Let's see the final board.

The first four subjects have been chosen by Scott but,

Usual Suspects, because you won

that round you've earned the right to choose the last subjects.

What's it going to be?

-I think pop charts. I don't think he's a poppy person, do you?

-Possibly.

Definitely Rastamouse as well.

I don't even know what that is.

I think it's a cartoon.

-Children's programme.

-Is it?

I've heard of Dangermouse but not Rastamouse.

-Do you want those two?

-I think they'll be good.

Can we have Pop Charts and Rastamouse please, Nick?

Pop Charts goes across,

and Rastamouse.

We now know our six final categories.

OK, guys. Time to switch you off for the final time. And away they go.

-What do you make of those last two? Pop?

-It depends how new it is.

Anything after 2000, I'd struggle.

-Rastamouse you picked out as one you didn't want.

-Never heard of it.

£5,000 on the line. It's time to play the final.

Scott, this is the final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £5,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing,

which is great for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £6,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Scott, here are your final six categories.

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

Think carefully. No time limit, but once you've given an answer,

your first answer is locked in.

-Are you ready?

-OK, yeah.

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

Real Names.

Uh, yes it was.

It's definitely true and they used the character's name

for John Cleese's character in A Fish Called Wanda

I think... I'm pretty sure... I'm certain it's true.

True.

Transport.

I know they introduced speed limits on the motorways

in the 1960s, but were there speed limits elsewhere?

I'll go for false.

False.

Aircraft.

I'm pretty sure it was a biplane.

I used to live on an estate where they named a lot of the roads

after Second World War planes

and there was no Sopwith...

I think it's true.

True.

Pets.

I think it's a bit like a husky?

So...

LAUGHING I think it is a dog, I think it's true, Nick.

True.

Pop Charts.

It's in the era I said I didn't like, but I remember the song.

Whether he sang it or someone else...

..I don't know. It rings a bell.

I think it might be true, Nick.

True.

And finally, Rastamouse.

I'm assuming it's about a Rastafarian mouse.

I would've thought it might've come up with

a more interesting name if he lived there.

There's no pun on Jamaica, or...

..Ethiopia or anything.

I'm going to go false.

False. Your answers are locked in.

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

-Which ones are you worried about?

-Rastamouse.

That's it, is it?

Um...I know The Lazy Song,

"I'm lazy in the morning and when I go to bed," and that sort of thing.

I don't know whether Bruno Mars sang that.

So, it's those last two, really,

that are troubling you, the ones they chose. OK.

Let's see what the Usual Suspects have got to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Scott's answers.

Scott, your answers are locked in, you can't change them by yourself

but you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

-Gini, hi.

Hi, Scott.

Um, there's only one there, really, that I could say definitively,

"Yes, I know the answer to,"

so I'm not sure I can really enhance what you've already got there.

Are you saying one is wrong?

No, I'm saying that I actually know that he's got one right

because I just know that, but the rest is a bit...

-You know, I'm not sure.

-OK. So, not much use to you?

-No.

-Who would you like to hear from next?

-Jane, please.

There are two there that I know are definitely right,

but I really wouldn't have a clue on the others.

-So...

-I don't think I'd be much use to you.

-OK.

-So, Jane not offering any help, there.

-OK.

Come on then, Gary, what've you got?

Right, well, I think you've done reasonably well.

There's a couple there that I'm not sure about myself,

so I don't think I'd really be much help to you.

Are none of you interested in how confident Scott is?

-Yeah, how confident are you?

-I'm pretty confident.

Yeah, you've done well before, so... No, I won't be much help to you.

So, none of them are offering to come and help.

Is it because you've done well

-and they think you'll do this alone or...

-Are they going to nick it?

Or do they think you've got one wrong and they'll wait for the money to roll over? What do you think?

I don't know, they've been playing games in there all day!

LAUGHTER

It is a, sort of... game show, really.

LAUGHTER Oh, yeah...

-All right, so, no-one's coming down to help, no?

-No.

-OK.

Negotiations are finished cos they don't want to come and help, so it's all down to you.

£5,000 at stake.

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

Starting at the top.

-You were very confident about this one.

-Yeah.

-You know this fact, yeah?

So, you said true.

You need this to turn green to get you started, is it true or false?

It's true.

-APPLAUSE

-Nice, solid start.

The first speeding fine in the UK was in the 1960s.

Now, you said false because...?

When the motorways first opened in the '60s... Was it the '60s?

I think they put speed limits on the motorways in the '60s

but I can't believe you were allowed to hare round

some pretty big cities in the late '50s.

OK. You said false, we need this to turn red to keep you on track.

Is it true or false?

APPLAUSE

It is false. It was just a little bit earlier.

1896.

LAUGHTER

-Somebody was caught doing 8mph in a 2mph zone.

-Hooligan.

-LAUGHTER

-Yeah. So, moving on.

The Sopwith Camel was a First World War biplane. You said true.

If this turns green, you're halfway to the £5,000 all on your own.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

It was the most successful Allied aircraft in World War One.

So, a Saluki is a type of dog.

-You were fairly convinced that this was the case. You thought it was a dog like...

-I think it's a husky.

Something like a husky? Well, you said true.

If this is green, you're only two away from the £5,000,

doing it all on your own.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

So. Bruno Mars had a UK number one hit with The Lazy Song.

You thought you'd heard this. In the end, was this a bit of a guess?

Yeah. I know the song

and I can't think of another song by Bruno Mars

that would make me change my mind, so...

OK, this was the first of the two chosen for you by the Usual Suspects

in an attempt to stop you walking off with the cash.

You said true, if it turns green,

you're only one away from the £5,000.

If it goes red, you're going home with nothing.

Bruno Mars had a UK number one hit with The Lazy Song,

is it true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

Just one away from £5,000, now.

The first attempt by the Usual Suspects to scupper your run failed.

Is he going to win this or not, Usual Suspects?

I haven't a clue about the last one.

They don't know either. What about you?

-I don't like my answer now.

-You don't?

Well, if he's a Rastafarian who just happens to be a mouse, he could...

Maybe there would be some pun in the title.

That's what you were thinking, wasn't it?

But if all the people in Mouseland are mice

he might just be the only Rasta in town.

This was a 50/50 chance you had to take a guess on.

Yeah, I'm hoping they've come up

with something more original than Mouseland.

OK. It all rests on this.

£5,000 decided right here, right now, on this one statement.

You answered false. If this turns red, you're going home with £5,000.

If it turns green, you're going home with nothing.

Is it true or false for £5,000?

It's true.

-GROANING

-It's true.

They came up with nothing more original than Mouseland,

I'm afraid, for you.

Scott, I'm afraid you have not managed to achieve Perfection,

which means you are going home with no money.

Usual Suspects, that's great for you, the prize fund rolls over

to the next game where one of you could be playing

for a total of £6,000.

APPLAUSE

Scott, you failed to achieve Perfection which means

you go home with nothing.

-You played a great game, though. You enjoyed yourself?

-Absolutely.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Scott.

-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 £6,000, but remember...

five out of six won't win you anything.

On this show, we only pay for Perfection. Goodbye.
