Episode 2 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show demanding perfection.

Behind the screen our contestants are hoping their knowledge is flawless

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Welcome to the quiz show where only perfect playing 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 face a series of true or false statements.

For example, if I said -

Is that true or false?

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, the Usual Suspects,

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

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

Hi, I'm Dave, from Broadgreen in Liverpool,

I'm a resource planning analyst and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Jan, I'm from Sherburn in Durham.

I'm a contract administrator and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Aubrey from Burton-on-Trent.

I'm a brewery worker and this is my fourth game.

Hi, I'm Jessica from Stockport.

I'm a biology student and this is my sixth game.

OK, welcome to you all and best of luck,

as we now find out which one of you has been randomly picked

to play Perfection.

Dave, you've been selected. Please come and play Perfection.

Dave, welcome to the game. It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

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

as your failure means the prize money goes to the next game,

when one of them could be sitting here playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news. Nobody's won the past five games,

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

APPLAUSE

That's a tidy sum in this climate, isn't it?

-I could do some damage with that!

-Do you have anything marked down if you win?

I do. I want to buy a new bass guitar. I'm a bass player.

I'm also in the middle of getting a dragon tattooed on me.

It's an 11ft dragon across one arm and down the other one.

Wow! And a bass player, too.

Obviously you have more diverse interests than we knew about.

Good luck. Here's how the game works.

You'll play three rounds and a final. Every round you achieve perfection makes final easier.

However, if your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects have the chance to steal the round,

making the final much harder. More of that later.

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

so you can't see or hear anything.

And away they go.

Dave, you can now talk through your answers without giving away

any vital knowledge, OK?

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You're answering against the clock, you only have 45 seconds,

and once you've given your first answer, they'll be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I am.

-OK. Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One, your 45 second starts now.

Erm... I think Mumbles is part of a Welsh town, but I think it's false.

False.

No, they hosted '78. It was Mexico in '70, so false.

False.

-No, I think it's a shade of red, so that's false as well.

-False.

Good grief. Erm... I'm going to go...

-Eurgh! I'm going to go true.

-True.

Good use of the time there. You had a little to spare.

Sounded like a good round to start with

and towards the end you weren't sure.

Judy Garland, I know nothing about her.

Before we reveal how 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 Dave's answers.

-Aubrey, has he achieved perfection?

-I don't think he's got perfection.

I think C is wrong.

-Jan?

-Yes, I agree with that. I think C's wrong, too.

You think vermillion IS a shade of blue.

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

How many have you got correct?

Three out of four's good

but it's not good enough.

You didn't manage perfection.

You've let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Dave's answers.

You need to change one, but which one?

I thought vermilion was red.

I think vermilion is a shade of sort of a purply-blue.

But I could be wrong.

-We could blame Jan if she's wrong!

-I know!

-Broad shoulders!

I think I'm actually going to go against my team and change D.

You have every right to, as the longest-serving member of the Usual Suspects.

So the decision is for you. Which one do you want to change?

Yeah, I think I'll change D from true to false, please.

D changing from true to false,

leaving A, B and C as originally answered by Dave.

Let's find out the correct answers.

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

It's true.

So, Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round,

but you failed to achieve perfection.

Have you achieved perfection at home?

Let's go through the answers and see how you've done.

You're right, it's false. It was Mexico, as you said, Dave.

It's false. In fact, it is

a shade of red.

She died in Chelsea. Usual Suspects,

had you achieved perfection,

you could now make Dave's chances of winning the prize fund

harder in the final, and here's how.

Dave, this is your final board.

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

Here are your final-round categories,

and they range from the royal family through Eurovision

and many more in between.

Had you achieved perfection,

you could have chosen two categories of YOUR choice to the final board.

But because neither side won the round,

those two categories will now be carried over to the next round,

meaning four categories will now be on offer.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Two.

Now that they've gone and you're free to talk,

looking at those subjects, what would you rather steer clear of?

Cycling.

-You can probably tell I'm not built for cycling, really.

-Nor am I.

And I'd like to see Islands, Shakespeare, Africa.

A broad range of knowledge.

I might be setting myself up for a fall, but there you go.

Well, let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I would say that's true.

-True.

Well, I know she used to be surprisingly good and win things.

-Erm, false. I don't think she won that.

-False.

-False.

Ah, yeah, he did. He had a short-term role in it, so yeah, that's true.

True. And finally...

-Erm, yes, that is true.

-True.

And again with time to spare. A good round this time?

Er, yeah.

I think that the Sue Barker one is a bit hit and miss.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and Dave's answers.

Jan, how's he done this time?

Well, I don't think he's got perfection.

I think it's a chaffinch that's the type of bird.

Well, Dave, for the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four perfectly to win the round. Let's find out how many you've got.

Just two out of four. Dave, you have failed to achieve perfection again.

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

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Dave's answers.

You need to change two of them.

Which two are you going to change?

-We're definitely changing D, aren't we?

-Yeah.

B's right, Sue Barker.

She didn't win it. She did reach the final. So that's right.

So it's between A and C.

I'm sure I've seen something about Russell Crowe

actually being in Neighbours at some point.

I'm a bit iffy on that one.

Tony Blair's actually from my neck of the woods, so...

Again, somebody needs to make a decision.

Jessica, as nominal captain, because you've been on there the longest,

you get to make the decisions. What's it to be?

I'll go with mine again!

-I'll change C from true to false, please.

-C from true to false.

And D from true to false as well.

And D from true to false,

leaving A as true and B as false.

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

Tony Blair became MP for Huntingdon in 1983. You need it to turn green.

Is it true or false?

It's false.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects. You had the chance to steal the round,

but you've failed to achieve perfection and you're out of it.

Are you still in it at home? How have you done?

Let's go through the answers.

Just on that subject, Tony Blair became MP for... Jan?

-Sedgefield.

-Thank you. You should have spoken up, stuck to your guns.

You're exactly right.

Sue Barker won tennis' French Open in 1976. Is that true or false?

It's true! She did win it.

Russell Crowe appeared in Neighbours. Is it true or false?

He was in Neighbours. Finally, a chiffchaff -

is it a type of bird?

Yep, it was true.

Usual Suspects, you managed to get every single answer wrong

-in that particular round.

-LAUGHTER

Well, let's have a look at the final board.

No subjects chosen so far.

And because neither side won the round, the four categories

due to be chosen will be carried over to the next round,

meaning that all six categories for the final will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off. See you in Round Three.

And away they go.

-Dave, ready to play the next round?

-I am indeed.

Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Erm, yes, that's true.

-True.

It's so familiar, pecorino.

-Erm, yes, it's true.

-True.

-No, that's not true. That's false.

-False. And finally...

Taurus, Taurus, Taurus...

It's Capricorn, the goat, isn't it?

-So false.

-You're saying false?

-False.

-False.

I was about to hurry you up on the time there.

-Are you happy with those?

-Er, pecorino, don't know.

Just a total wild stab in the dark.

-You seemed certain about Lady Gaga.

-Well, with having three daughters,

-I hear a lot of Lady Gaga.

-Do you?

-Yeah. A bit too much, to be honest.

-All right, then.

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 Dave's answers.

Jessica, has he achieved perfection?

Erm, yeah. The only one I'm unsure of is question B, but yeah.

OK, the moment of truth. You need to answer all four statements perfectly

to win the round. Let's find out how many you've got correct.

-Congratulations, Dave, you have achieved perfection!

-APPLAUSE

-Right, that was a good one to win.

-Oh, wasn't it just?

Let's look through those answers.

You were absolutely right, it is a cheese.

You said false, having heard your daughters play it around the house.

You were right, it is false. It is in fact Beyonce who's on that track.

You took your time over this,

-finally worked out that the goat was...

-Capricorn.

So you said it was false,

and you were absolutely right on all counts.

Let's have a look at your final board.

Look at that, six empty spaces on the right.

Because you won that round,

you've earned the right to choose all six categories to add to that,

but which six would you like to play in the final?

-Africa, please.

-Africa goes across.

Board Games, please.

Board Games.

Erm, Islands, please.

Islands.

Languages.

Languages.

I'll try for Shakespeare.

Shakespeare becomes the fifth.

And I'm going to try for Actresses.

Actresses completes

your final board.

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

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

And away they go. Dave, for £6,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Dave, 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 get nothing, which is great for the Usual Suspects,

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

on the next game.

-And you don't want that to happen.

-No.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Dave, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

to win the £6,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit,

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

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Africa.

I know that there is a national park in Namibia.

I don't believe it to be the Serengeti, though.

-So I'm going to say that's false.

-False.

Board games.

-That's false, because it should be Professor Plum.

-False.

Islands.

La Gomera is a Balearic island.

I'm going to say,

simply on the basis that I've never heard of it in my entire life,

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

-False.

Languages.

Erm... Pamplemousse, I've heard that word and I've heard it in use.

Erm...

I'm going to say false for that.

I've heard it in use,

but I don't think I've heard it in use for pineapple.

False. Shakespeare.

Right, he was born in the 1500s.

-So that would be true.

-True.

And finally, Actresses.

Now, Titanic won Oscars for everything, didn't it?

-Right, I am going to say that that's true.

-True.

Dave, those answers are locked in.

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

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-C, D, E and F, to be fair.

-OK.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Dave's answers.

Your answers are locked in and you can't change them by yourself,

but 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 Dave has done,

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

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

-Aubrey first.

I'm not sure of four of the answers.

So I couldn't help you at all. Sorry.

OK, we'll go for Jessica.

I'm confident on three, but on the others I've no idea

and I don't feel confident enough to help, I'm afraid.

OK, over to you, Jan.

Well, I think there's two that need to be changed,

but I'm just not confident about the other four.

I'll just stay here for a little bit.

I've just got here, so I'll keep my day in the sun a bit longer.

OK, £6,000 at stake, what do you want to do at this point?

I'll throw open, I don't know, over half of it, I'd say,

would somebody come down and help for 3,500?

I'm just not confident enough, Dave, I'm sorry. I just couldn't help you.

-Jan?

-I think I'll just stay here.

-Jessica?

-I'd love the money,

but no, I think I'm going to wait on a little longer, I'm afraid.

Well, it seems negotiations are over, Dave, and no-one's prepared

to come and help you out, so you are going to go it alone.

£6,000 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. Let's get started.

Is it true or false?

APPLAUSE

Any idea where it is?

-Erm... No.

-Tanzania.

-You said false because?

-It should be Professor Plum.

If you're right, this will turn red.

-It is false.

-APPLAUSE

Absolutely right, Professor Plum. Alliteration.

So four questions for £6,000.

La Gomera is a Balearic island.

-You said you'd never heard of it.

-Never heard of it in my life.

On that basis, you went for false. Is it true or false?

-It's actually one of the Canaries.

-Right, OK, there you go.

Three out of three, halfway to the money. Just three answers to go.

If you're right, this is going to turn red

and you'll only be two questions away from the £6,000.

Is it true or false?

-It is, in fact, French for grapefruit.

-Wow!

E, you were quite confident on, Shakespeare was born in the 16th century.

-Why so confident on that one?

-Because I was convinced he was born in the 1500s,

but now it's in front of me, I'm not that confident about that at all now.

OK, you worked it through. You said he was born in the 1500s

so therefore he was born in the 16th century, so you said true.

You need this to turn green now.

If it does, you are just one answer away from £6,000.

If it goes red, you've lost it.

Five out of five. Six out of six wins you £6,000.

You're just one answer away.

-This is one of the ones you were worried about.

-Very much so.

You've done well up to this point,

but of course on this programme, we need perfection.

We need this to turn green for £6,000. Is it true or false?

Do you know, she was nominated, but she didn't win.

Dave, unfortunately, I'm afraid, you didn't manage to achieve perfection.

So, Usual Suspects, the prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for £7,000.

Dave, I feel terrible for you.

You played such a great game, you took it on all on your own.

But unfortunately, you go home with nothing.

I hope you enjoyed playing the game anyway.

I had a great time, thanks very much.

Thank you very much, let's hear it for Dave.

APPLAUSE

Well, well - close!

Close is good, but it's just not good enough in this game.

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

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hello, my name's Brian.

I'm from Wrexham and I'm a retired primary schoolteacher.

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

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

-Jan, welcome to the show.

-Thank you kindly.

You're a contract administrator, do you have any hobbies?

I fill my spare time between showjumping for my daughter,

I drive a ten-tonne truck up and down the motorway

and sometimes on the back of my husband's motorbike.

-Really?

-Yes.

It's two or six wheels with four in the middle.

Any money I win I think will be channelled into four legs.

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

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

-Sworn enemies now!

-Absolutely. Here's the good news.

As nobody has won the past six games,

the prize fund currently stands at £7,000.

APPLAUSE

-That's all going on horses, is it?

-I'd love to go down to the sunshine, touring Portugal, with them.

It would involve me driving on the wrong side of the road, but we'd cope.

OK, look, good luck. Three rounds and a final to come.

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

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

-And away they go. Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's play Perfection.

Round One, your 45 seconds starts now.

-Ooh. False. I've never heard of that and I love pasta.

-False.

I think that might be true.

I've seen pictures of it and it does stretch a long way.

-So I think we'll go for true on that one.

-True.

Now, that's going back a little bit

and I know he was playing golf then, so we'll go for true.

True, and you're running out of time.

-True.

-True?

-True, we'll go for true, we'll stick with Cilla.

True. Thank you very much. Are you happy with those?

-Yes, well, we'll see.

-OK.

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 Jan's answers.

-Aubrey, how do you think she's done?

-I think Jan's got perfection.

The unfortunate thing is, Cilla Black having two number-one records!

OK, Jan, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all questions perfectly to have won.

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

Just two out of four, in fact. Jan, you didn't manage perfection.

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

Usual Suspects, you can steal this round.

You can see Jan's answers, you need to change two, but which two?

-Nick Faldo definitely won.

-Did he win the US Open?

Yes, I'm sure he won those two in the same year.

And the tapestry is over 100 metres long.

-It is. So it would be A and D.

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Jessica?

We'll change A from false to true, please.

A from false to true.

And D from true to false, please.

And D from true to false, leaving

B and C as Jan answered them, true.

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

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

but you failed to achieve perfection. Let's see the rest of the answers.

Did you at home manage to achieve perfection? Let's have a look.

By the way, Pele's hair is in fact volcanic glass.

No, it's false, it's about 70 metres.

Never won the US Open.

True. Anyone Who Had A Heart and You're My World.

Usual Suspects, can I point out

the line of crosses down the right-hand side of the screen there?

It's not a brilliant start for you.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make Jan's chances of winning the prize fund

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

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

Here are the final round categories

ranging from Comic Books through Scotsmen and Italy,

with many others in between.

Because neither side won the round,

the two categories that were due to be chosen will now be carried over

to the next round, meaning four categories will now be on offer.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off, we'll see you in Round Two.

Jan, now the Usual Suspects have gone,

what do you make of the categories?

-I'd like Racehorses. Apples.

-Which ones would you like to avoid?

-Classical Music. French History and Scotsmen.

-OK.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-I'm ready.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

Sure it's not melon.

-I think he was after that, so we'll go false again.

-False.

-She surely was, so we'll go true on that.

-True.

And finally, with plenty of time to spare...

-No, I think it was a glove, so we'll go false on that.

-False.

No scares over the time that time.

That sounded, to me, like a very good round for you, Jan.

-Anything you're worried about?

-Benjamin Franklin.

-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 Jan's answers.

Brian, how's she done?

I think it could be perfection, Nick, but A could be wrong.

-A might be a variety of melon, you think?

-Yes.

-Interesting.

Jan, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly.

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

Yes!

Congratulations. You've achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Well done.

-Thank you.

-What a great one to win. Let's have a look at the answers.

We now know, of course, that it is false. It is, in fact, an avocado.

-He was never president.

-Really?

-Never.

Gladys Pugh was a character in Hi-de-Hi!

And a gauntlet was a type of wooden shoe.

You don't throw down the wooden shoe, you throw a glove down as a challenge.

Let's see the board.

Nothing on there at the moment,

but you've earned the right

to choose four categories to add to the board.

Which four would you like to play in the final?

-Well, I think an even bet's Racehorses.

-Racehorses, let's take those across.

-And you feed apples to horses, so we'll stick with that line.

-Apples.

Erm.... Celebrities.

Celebrities.

And fiction.

And fiction goes across to make the fourth title in the final.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to switch you off,

see you in the next round.

-Are you ready to play the next round?

-Ready as I'll ever be.

-Right.

Let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I don't think he did, so we'll go for false.

-False.

I think that's true.

I should know definitely, because I watch a lot of American TV,

-but we'll go for true.

-True.

I've been to Anglesey, bike racing.

-I don't think it does, so that's false.

-False. And finally...

Yes, they are. I'll go for true on that. Even though I don't like them.

True. And you had time to spare.

-You've answered all four statements. Is there anything you're worried about?

-Tim Roth in Reservoir Dogs.

-That's the dodgy one?

-Definitely.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Jan's answers.

-Aubrey, what do you think?

-I think there's one wrong.

-B.

-B?

-I don't believe that Yale is in New York.

-OK. Jan, it's the moment of truth.

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

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

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

You haven't achieved perfection

which means you've now let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Jan's answers. You need to change one of them. Which one?

I think it's B.

I would think C and D are definitely correct, so it's A or B.

I would go with B myself.

-I'll go with the majority, then.

-That's a first!

I'll change B from true to false.

-B from true to false.

-Thank you very much.

Leaving A, C and D as answered by Jan.

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

Jan said false, Usual Suspects agreed with false.

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

Yes, false. In fact, he played Mr Orange.

Here's where you disagreed.

You need this to turn red, Usual Suspects.

It is false, it's New Haven, Connecticut.

You know how the rest of this will go.

The Solent separates Anglesey from Wales. True or false?

The Solent actually separates the Isle of Wight from the south coast of England.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

Jan, the Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed.

They've stolen the round. Let's see the final board.

Four subjects already chosen on there.

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

What will trip her up?

-French History.

-Yeah, I'd say French History.

-French History, Brian?

-Yes.

-I'd go with that, definitely.

-French History?

-Yeah.

-Classical Music?

-Classical Music as well.

-First one is?

-French History.

-French History goes across.

-And second?

-Classical Music.

Making the sixth and final category in the final.

We now know our six final categories.

They are -

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

And away they go. Jan, for £7,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Jan, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £7,000.

If you fail, you'll win nothing, which would be great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £8,000 on the next game.

So let's play the final round.

Jan, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win £7,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit,

but once you give an answer, your first answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Racehorses.

Well, that was false, because Nijinsky ran on the flat.

-So that's false.

-That is most definitely false.

I've got one right!

Let's continue that theme, shall we? Apples.

I think that's false as well. I think it started off in Australia.

-So we'll go false on that as well.

-False.

Celebrities now.

I don't think they're married yet.

I'm sure I read something in a gossip magazine

that they weren't married yet.

-So I think that's false as well.

-False.

Fiction.

Mr Tumnus was created by JK Rowling.

Well, he was through the wardrobe door, I believe,

and that certainly wasn't JK Rowling.

-So that's false.

-False.

-Now we move on to the two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects.

-The two hard ones!

French history.

Now, one of the Louis was called the Sun King. I can remember that.

-So I'm going to go for that being true.

-True.

-True.

And the final category in the final, Classical Music.

The Four Seasons is a work by Mozart.

I think that's true.

But I'm not 100%, but we'll go for true.

-True.

-True.

Those answers are locked in.

Which one or ones are you unsure of?

-The Sun King, I think.

-That's the one most frightening, is it?

-Yeah.

OK. Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Jan's answers.

Your answers are locked in and 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.

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

-Ladies first. Jessica. Let's see what you've got to say.

I think you've possibly got at least one wrong,

but I'm unsure on a few others. So I couldn't come down, I'm afraid.

-OK, no offer of help from Jessica.

-Aubrey, what do you have to say?

There's four I'm not sure of

and I just haven't got the confidence to come down,

not with four answers not known.

What do you think then, Brian?

Jan, I don't think you've achieved perfection.

I think you have one wrong and for £5,000 I will come and answer that question.

That's interesting, because the current prize fund is £7,000.

Well, Brian, there's one I'm a bit unsure of.

Now if you go halfie-halfies, I think we can do a deal, we can do business.

3,500 each?

Jan, I want 5,000 to give you the six right answers.

That only leaves me with 2,000. You take four and I'll take three.

-OK, yeah, I'll settle for that, Jan.

-So negotiations have been agreed.

Brian is going to take £4,000 of the £7,000 fund if they win.

Brian, come and join us.

APPLAUSE

Jan, you've asked Brian for help. If you achieve perfection,

it will cost you £4,000 of your potential prize fund of £7,000.

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

This is your only shot at winning.

Have you made the right decision? We're about to find out. Here are the statements.

Brian, which answers do you want Jan to change?

Jan, I think you've got the first five correct,

but the Four Seasons is by Vivaldi.

-Yes! That's the one I thought.

-As far as I know, those six are correct.

OK, Jan, it's still your decision, you don't have to listen to Brian, but the board is now unlocked.

Do you want to make any changes?

Yes, I do. I want to change F to false.

-You want to change F to false.

-Yes.

-OK, let's change that for you.

-Is there anything else you want to change?

-That's it, I think.

-Lock 'em up!

-OK, your answers are now locked in.

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

Is it true or false?

OK. The Granny Smith apple originated in Canada.

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

Two.

Cultivated in Australia.

Absolutely right.

Not married.

It's another false answer you're looking for.

Could there be four reds in a row?

Wow! £4,000 for Brian, £3,000 for Jan,

just two questions away.

Louis XIV was nicknamed the Sun King.

Jan, you said you thought that was true.

Certainly one of the Louis was. You weren't sure which one.

Brian, are you confident?

14th or the 18th, I think it was the 14th. I hope it was!

-I don't think it was as late as the 18th. Cross everything.

-We're about to find out.

Louis XIV was nicknamed the Sun King. Is that true or false?

(The last one's right.)

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

Five out of five, and just one away from the money.

Brian, because we're this close, I thought I'd ask you, what would you do with £4,000?

-I'd like to go on a Caribbean cruise, I think, with my good lady.

-Lovely.

Well, the final question, Four Seasons is a work by Mozart.

Jan, you said that was true, but you weren't that confident.

You asked Brian to come down and help you.

Brian said that he could make the board right for you,

got you to change just that answer...

to false.

So far, you've done it all on your own, Jan.

Are we going to find out that you could have done it all the way on your own?

Or was Brian right to come down and make you change it?

The Four Seasons is a work by Mozart.

Jan, you said true.

Brian changed it to false.

We need this to turn red so that you can win the £7,000.

Is it true or false?

-Congratulations! You have won £7,000 and achieved perfection.

-Thank you!

Congratulations.

Congratulations. Fantastic.

Jan, you take home £3,000 of the prize fund,

and Brian, you take home £4,000.

It's a lovely amount of money.

-So the cruise is on?

-I think so, yes.

-Excellent. Jan?

More tarmac to be burnt with the wagon.

You are off on another field trip in your wagon.

It's a big green one, folks, stay well out of the way.

Keep out of the way of that coming towards you.

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, Jan and Brian, you achieved perfection and won £7,000.

£4,000 to Brian, £3,000 to Jan.

That's all we've got time for.

Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again.

This time for just £1,000.

Remember, as you've seen on this show, we will pay,

but only for perfection. Goodbye.
