Episode 22 Perfection

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

Behind the screen, four contestants hoping their knowledge is flawless

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

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

has been selected to join me here to play Perfection.

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

if I said the peacock is a member of the pheasant family,

would you say that's true or false?

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

Answering true or false might seem easy

but if the contestant gets an answer wrong,

their opponents will be allowed into the game

to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

I'm Keith from Caterham. I'm a set and costume designer

and college tutor, and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Jayne. I'm from Norwich.

-I'm currently unemployed and this is my first game.

-Hi, my name's Milan.

I'm from Bath. I'm a dental student. This is my second game.

Hi, I'm BB. I'm from Glasgow.

I'm a lawyer and event planner and this is my third game.

Welcome, and best of luck. Time to find out which of you has been picked to play Perfection.

Jayne, it's you. Please come and play Perfection.

-Jayne, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-Have you got family?

Yes, I have, I've got two little nephews, Thomas and Harry,

and I've also got a niece, Lily. I'm to say hello and give them a wave

but they're probably watching CBeebies.

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

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

Their job is to stop you from winning. Your failure means the money rolls over

and one of them could be sitting here playing for more money.

Every game is worth £1,000. Here's the good news.

Nobody's won the last 11 games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £12,000.

APPLAUSE

-A lot of cash. How would you spend it?

-There's places in Europe

I'd like to see and I'd really like to go to India and see the Taj Mahal.

-That's on my list.

-Good luck. Here's how the game works.

Three rounds and a final. Every perfect round makes the final easier.

But if your performance is less than perfect,

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

making the final that much harder. More of that later. Usual Suspects,

I'll switch you off now so you can't see or hear anything.

Cheerio. And away they go.

Jayne, each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll only have 45 seconds and once you've given your first answer,

-they'll be locked in. Are you ready?

-Yes.

Let's get on with it. Let's play Perfection.

Round one. Your 45 seconds start now.

-That's false. That was Matt Damon in that one.

-False.

Um... I'm not sure on that one.

-I think that's Sunday so I'm going to go false on that one.

-False.

I think that one's false as well. I think it's 'terrible lizard'.

False. And finally...

She is indeed. Yes, that's true.

True. And with plenty of time to spare.

You've answered all four statements. Did that feel like a good round?

I'm not sure about B. But the others,

I think I'm fairly happy with.

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

these are the statements and next to them, Jayne's answers.

Keith, what do you think? Perfection?

I think that C might be wrong.

That's the one that's niggling at me a bit. I think C might be true.

OK, Jayne, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Three out of four is a pretty good score, but certainly not Perfection.

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

OK, Usual Suspects, you can steal the round.

You can see Jayne's answers. You need to change one of them.

-But which one?

-Right, we're just going to go with Keith.

-We're going to change C, right?

-I agree.

-To true.

C, changing from false to true, leaving A, B and D

as answered by Jayne. Usual Suspects, let's see the correct answers.

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

It is false.

And it is Matt Damon, as you said.

False. It is in fact Sunday.

Actually, it is true.

We know where this is going. True or false? It's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

Jayne, they succeeded where you failed.

As a result, they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity to make Jayne's chances of winning

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

Jayne, appearing in front of you is your final board.

The six blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your categories. Starting with Star Wars,

ranging through TV Aliens, and on to PG Wodehouse

with many more in between. If you'd won that round,

you'd have the opportunity of adding two categories

to the board but because the Usual Suspects stole the round,

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

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

I remember Jayne said something about

not knowing about rappers or singers.

-Computer games, I think.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Rappers?

-Rappers.

-Rappers.

-Rappers goes across into the final. And?

-Computer games?

-I think computer games.

-And computer games goes across. Well done, Usual Suspects,

you won the first round. It's time to switch you off.

See you in round two. And there they go.

With the Usual Suspects gone, what do you think of their choices? Rappers?

-BB's right. That's sneaky! I don't know about rap.

-Computer games?

Not thrilled on that one either.

OK, looking at that list, which ones do you really like?

Well, I've been to Japan so that would be an advantage.

I'm actually not too bad on a bit of sci-fi

so Star Wars or TV aliens, also quite good.

-Paintings as well. It's not a bad board.

-OK. If you're ready,

-shall we play on?

-Yes.

-Let's play round two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I've no idea. Sounds about right. I'll go true on that one.

-True.

-I think he plays Ian Beale so that's false.

-False.

That's false as well. Harper Lee wrote To Kill A Mockingbird.

-So you're saying...?

-False.

-False. And finally...

-Yeah, I think he was. True.

-True, and with time to spare.

You've answered all four statements. How do you feel about that round?

I'm not sure about the bread, that was a total guess. Um...

Not 100% on D, either, but the other two I'm pretty happy with.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects. Usual Suspects,

these were the four statements. Next to them are Jayne's answers.

-Keith, has she achieved perfection?

-I think she has,

although I would sort of slightly question A and C.

-Milan, what do you think?

-I'm questioning A, but otherwise,

-I think she has all of them right.

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

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

Three out of four. It's good, but it's not perfection

which means you've let your enemies back in with a chance to steal.

You need to change one answer, but which one?

-Are you sure about Guy Fawkes?

-Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

-16 something?

-16 something.

-16 something.

-OK, that's fine.

-C's fine.

-I think B's OK as well, to be honest.

So A, we're going to say A is false.

A changes from true to false,

leaving B, C and D as answered by Jayne. Usual Suspects,

let's find out the correct answers.

Pre-sliced bread was first sold in 1958, true or false?

False, 1928 actually, very early on.

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

No, he plays Ian Beale.

False, it's by JD Salinger. And finally...

It is true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

Early in the 17th century. 1606 was when it happened.

Jayne, the Usual Suspects have succeeded again where you failed.

They've stolen a round. Let's look at the final board.

Two subjects on there already chosen by the Usual Suspects.

And because you won that round, you earned the right to choose

-the next two as well, so which two is it going to be?

-Sitcoms?

-Yeah.

-What about Regiments?

-OK.

Potentially, yeah.

-I would have gone with you, BB, Sitcoms.

-Sitcoms.

-OK.

-We're going to say Sitcoms.

-Sitcoms goes across. And?

-And?

-Regiments.

-Regiments.

-Regiments.

And regimens goes across. Lovely.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you're doing well. You won that round as well.

We'll see you in round three.

Away they go. Have a look at what they've chosen for you there.

I'm not sure about the Regiments one.

Sitcoms, yeah, I might know a bit about those.

-All right, shall we play on?

-Yes.

-Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Yes, I think I remember him talking about that, that's true.

-True.

-No, I think that's false.

-False.

Alaska is very close but it doesn't have a land border, that's false.

False. And finally...

-Oh, total guess on that one, I'll say true.

-True.

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

-Couple of guesses in there?

-D, I've not got a clue on, I'm afraid.

Let's see on that one.

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

So, Usual Suspects,

these were the four statements and next to them, Jayne's answers.

How's she done?

-I think she's got Perfection, Nick.

-Keith?

Not sure about Carol Vorderman,

so if there was one that was wrong,

I would say it's probably B.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four again. Consistent, but not consistently achieving Perfection

which means you let your enemies into the game again.

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

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

B sounds obscure, so I think it might be one of those trick ones.

-You sure?

-Yeah.

-We're going to change B to true.

Be changes from false to true,

leaving A, C and D

as Jayne answered.

Let's find the correct answers.

John Major's father once worked as a trapeze artist,

is that true or false?

It is absolutely true.

Carol Vorderman failed all her A-levels,

is that true or false?

It's false.

I'm afraid Usual Suspects, you've blown it already. You've failed to steal the round from Jayne.

Have you achieved Perfection at home?

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

The USA has a land border with Russia. Is that true or false?

It is false.

And finally, Errol Flynn was born in the UK?

Oh, no he wasn't.

He was born in Tasmania, actually.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection you'd now

have the opportunity to make Jayne's chance of winning the prize fund much harder.

Let's have a look at the board.

Four subjects already chosen, all by you.

Nobody won round three, so you'll take turns to choose a category.

So, Jayne, as the single player you get to choose first.

Which category would you like?

I'll go for paintings.

Paintings goes into the final.

And Usual Suspects, you get to choose a category. Which will it be?

-I was thinking volcanoes.

-Volcanoes?

In the case where there's a disagreement it's up to you, BB,

-so what are you going for?

-Japan.

Japan goes across into the final.

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

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

-Away they go. Have you been to Japan?

-I have, yes.

-You should get on well.

-I hope so, yeah.

You've done a little bit better than expected there.

-Let's see what the questions are.

-For £12,000, it's time to play the final.

Jayne, this is the all-important final.

If you achieve Perfection you could be leaving with a prize fund of £12,000.

If you fail you could leave with nothing, which would be great for the Usual Suspects as one of them

could play for a rollover of £13,000 on 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 the £12,000. Think carefully.

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's see the first statement.

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

I think that may very well be true,

but I've really not got a clue either way.

I think I'm going to say true on that one.

True. Computer Games.

That sounds about right, I think.

I know the movies came out either late 90s or early 2000s.

I think I'm going to go true on that one as well.

-True.

-Yeah.

-Sitcoms.

There is a Will in The Inbetweeners.

I don't have his surname, though.

-There is a Will so I'm going to go true on that one.

-True.

The one you were worried about, Regiments.

I've never heard that.

I'm sure I've heard people talk about the Coldstream Guards,

but in a combat situation and Beefeaters are more ceremonial.

So, again it a guess.

I'm going to guess at false for that one.

False. Paintings.

This is the first one I'm sure about.

Starry Night is a painting by Van Gogh,

so that one is false.

False. And finally, Japan.

If I remember rightly, the Japanese parliament is known as the Diet,

it's the Diet Building.

I certainly don't remember any references to tempura.

No, that's false.

-False.

-False. And with that, Jayne, those answers are locked in.

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

Which ones are you unsure of?

The first one and D, Beefeaters.

A and D are the ones worrying you?

-Yeah.

-Well, let's rejoin the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, you can now see

the final six statements

and next to them, Jayne's answers.

Jayne, your answers are locked in.

You can't change them on your own, but if you think there's 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 Jayne has done.

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

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

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

-Let's hear from BB.

There are two I see. One I'm definitely sure is wrong

and that the other is iffy.

If you want it for 5,000, I could come down to help you.

£5,000 of the total which currently stands at £12,000.

-Want to hear from somebody else?

-Yeah, let's hear from Milan.

I'm not confident about one of them right now. What's your best offer?

Well, BB's offered five,

so I wouldn't like to go any higher than that.

-Can you improve on that?

-My offer would be the same as BB's.

OK. Keith?

This isn't a good round for me.

I feel that I'm not going to be much help to you unfortunately.

There's just two or three that I'm not sure of.

I don't know how much help I'd be. Sorry.

-Are you ruling yourself out completely, Keith?

-I am, yeah.

OK. Keith's out of the equation,

so you have to decide, do you need someone's help, can you go it alone?

I would like some help.

I think Milan, maybe.

I'm happy to go with his offer of five.

-Milan, £5,000, yes?

-I'm happy with that.

Jolly good. Seems to be that negotiations have been agreed.

So, Milan, for £5,000 of the £12,000 prize fund, please come and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, you've asked Milan to help.

If you achieve Perfection it will cost you £5,000

of your potential prize fund of £12,000.

Milan, you've forfeited play in the next game.

This is your only shot of winning.

Have you made the right decision? I think we're about to find out.

We haven't had a chance to ask. What would you spend the money on?

I'd like to spend some on myself, obviously, and my family, of course.

Because I'm a dental student, Dentaid is a charity close to us,

I'd probably give some money there as well and yeah, just treat my family to a nice holiday, I suppose.

Fantastic. Here are the final round statements.

All six answers are now unlocked.

Milan, which answers do you want Jayne to change?

What's your opinion on A and B?

A was the one I wasn't certain on.

If you know better, then I'll take your advice.

-To my knowledge, I think A is false.

-OK.

Tomb Raider, they did release games for it in the 80s.

There's no way it was the 80s. It just can't have been. I'm sure.

D was the one that I really didn't have a clue on.

That was the one I was a bit iffy on, if I'm honest.

You don't HAVE to listen to Milan,

however the board is now unlocked,

so you can change

any, all or none of your answers.

-What changes do you want to make?

-I'd go A to begin with.

-A changes from true to false.

-Yep.

-Do you have any idea on D?

-No.

That was my gut feeling.

If you don't know any better, shall we keep it? Shall we go for it?

-Go for it.

-Let's do it, yeah.

You're locking in the rest of the answers.

£12,000 at stake.

£7,000 to Jayne, £5,000 to Milan. Six answers away.

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

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

Ice Cube was a founding member of Public enemy.

That's the only one you changed.

Let's skip past it and go on to B.

Tomb Raider was first released in the 1990s.

-You had a chat about this, didn't you?

-Yeah.

But in the end, you felt confident enough of this to keep it as it was.

You need this to turn green to get you started.

Is it true or false?

It was true, absolutely.

APPLAUSE

Will McKenzie is a character in The Inbetweeners.

You thought this might be true because you knew there's a character called Will.

You said true. You need this to turn green.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

This next one's a worry, isn't it?

The Coldstream Guards are nicknamed Beefeaters.

You admitted you weren't really sure on this, but you went for false.

You need this to turn red to be halfway towards the prize fund.

Is it true or false?

It's false.

APPLAUSE

In fact, it's the Yeoman Warders at the Tower of London

who are known as Beefeaters.

Halfway to the cash.

Starry Night is a painting by Monet.

This should be easy, as you picked the subject.

-Yeah.

-You said this was the one you absolutely knew.

So, you said false.

Is it true or false?

It is.

APPLAUSE

It is false. It is red and it's Van Gogh.

So, the Japanese parliament is known as the Tempura?

You said this was false.

You need this to turn red to put you just one away from the £12,000.

The Japanese parliament is known as the Tempura, is that true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

Generally, tempura is fish or vegetables fried in batter.

So, we come back up to the top of that one that Milan came down to change.

This is crucial, isn't it?

In this one moment, you find out

whether Milan has come down and helped you to win the money

or he's come down and helped you to lose the money.

Ice Cube was a founding member of Public enemy.

You admitted that you knew nothing about rappers.

Milan came down to tell you that you got that wrong

and you needed to change it to false.

Us a result, you need is to turn red.

So there you can walk out of here with £7,000

and Milan can leave with £5,000.

Ice Cube was a founding member of Public Enemy. Is it true or false?

For £12,000...

Yes, false!

SHE SCREAMS

APPLAUSE

Yes!

Ice Cube was in NWA.

£12,000.

Jayne, you take home £7,000 of that prize.

What does that mean do you?

This helps so much. I can't believe it.

Milan, you take home £5,000. What does that mean to you?

As a uni student, I need as much money as I can get, know what I mean?

-It's a huge lump.

-Thank you so much.

Fantastic news down here.

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

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

It's congratulations, Jayne and Milan. You achieved Perfection.

You walk out of here with combined - £12,000 everybody!

APPLAUSE

Wow, what a fantastic game.

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspects

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, Nick, my name's Ross. I'm from Fife and I'm a tourism lecturer.

Hi, Nick, My Name's Freddie.

I'm from Exeter and I'm an administrator.

Welcome to the game. Good luck to all of you as we now find out

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

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

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

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

But £1,000 is handy,

-especially at the moment.

-It is indeed, yes.

So what would you spend that money on?

I'd take my partner on a really great holiday to Australia

because we had a civil partnership last year.

We weren't able to go away last year

-so it would be nice to take him away somewhere nice.

-Lovely.

Three rounds and a final to go. Usual Suspects, we'll turn you off

so you can't hear anything. If Keith makes a mistake, you'll be back.

And away they go. Keith, you can now talk

-through your answers without giving anything away.

-OK.

-You ready?

-Yes.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

Seeing as I designed the pantomime it's based on last year,

I'd better not get this wrong.

-It is true.

-True.

False.

False. And finally...

Yes, I'm fairly definite on that one.

That's true.

True. And with time to spare,

you've answered all four statements.

That felt very easy.

Yeah, not too bad. I think I was really lucky with B coming up.

Hey, it's how it falls. If you know it, you know it.

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

So, Usual Suspects,

these were the four statements and

next to them are Keith's answers.

BB, has he achieved Perfection?

I think so.

I'm not a connoisseur of George Orwell, but

I think everything else is correct.

Keith, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four's a good score, but it's not Perfection

so you've let the Usual Suspects

into the game. Can you steal it?

You can see Keith's answers.

You need to change one, but which one?

I think it'll be the Orwell. What do you think?

-Yes, OK with that.

-I also agree. We should go for it.

I think we'll just put George Orwell, true.

OK, so you're changing A from false to true,

leaving B, C and D

as answered by Keith.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

A Clockwork Orange is a novel by George Orwell,

is that true or false?

It's false!

It's Anthony Burgess.

Oh dear, Usual Suspects, you had a chance to steal the round

but failed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder whether you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Let's run through the other answers.

Richard Whittington was a real mayor of London, true or false?

-Yes, he was. You can show your face back at home again.

-Thank you.

Sound is faster than light, true or false?

Yeah, of course it's false.

And Batman's butler

is named Albert, true or false?

It's false.

It's Alfred. Not Albert, Alfred.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection,

you'd now be able to make Keith's chances of winning the prize fund harder in the final. Here's how.

Keith, in front of you is your final board.

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

Here are the final round categories.

Starting with worms, ranging through Bob Dylan

and on to teachers, with many more in between.

Because neither side won the round, the two categories due to be chosen

will be carried to the next round, so four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 2.

And away they go. Now they can't hear you, looking at that board,

which ones do you really like?

Gulliver's Travels, I think I really like.

I'm faintly drawn to worms for some reason, I don't know why.

And which ones would you want to avoid?

Military writers

and probably Bob Dylan.

-All right, you ready?

-Yep.

Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I really don't know. I'm going to have to guess this one and say...

-True.

-True.

True.

True.

False.

False, and finally...

-False.

-False.

And with time to spare, you've answered all four statements. Is that because you knew them all

and you were absolutely confident?

No, more along the lines of, I don't know any of them, hardly at all.

Most of them are guesses, I think.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These were the four statements,

and next to them are Keith's answers.

Ross, has he achieved Perfection?

I don't think so in this round.

I think D, the mazurka is a Polish dance.

Freddie, do you agree?

Yes, I do, yes.

-BB?

-The US flag, I think

has 13 stripes for the original Confederate states

and 50 stars for each of the present states,

so I'm not sure on this one.

Keith, you need to have answered

all four statements perfectly to win the round. Let's see how many are correct.

Just two out of four. Certainly not Perfection.

Better than I thought, though, Nick.

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

You can see Keith's answers.

You need to change two, but which two?

I've heard D before. The mazurka is a traditional Polish dance

so I think we should change that one.

So we'll change D to true.

D goes from false to true. One more, please.

And I think we're going to change C, as well?

Yeah, I think we should go with C.

C to true, as well.

C changes from false to true,

leaving A and B as answered by Keith.

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

Plan B stars in the film Attack The Block. Is that true or false?

It's false, I'm afraid.

Usual Suspects, you've blown it again.

You had a chance to steal the round but failed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder if you can achieve Perfection at home.

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

Rebecca Romero has won Olympic medals in two sports, true or false?

That's true, rowing and cycling.

There are ten stripes in total on the flag of the USA, true or false?

False. There are in fact 13.

The mazurka is a traditional Polish dance, true or false?

It is actually true,

so, Ross, you were right on that one.

Had you achieved Perfection, you could now have made Keith's chances of winning the prize fund

harder in the final. Let's have a look at the board.

Yeah, we're two rounds in

and still no categories chosen.

Because neither side won the round again,

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

to the next round, meaning all six categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, I'll switch you off and we'll see you in Round 3.

And away they go.

-Are you ready to play the next round?

-I am.

-Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I...think that's false.

-False.

-True.

-True.

I can't believe that's true...

-False.

-False. And finally...

-True.

-True.

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

More positive that time?

Yeah...I'm not sure.

Not sure about question A, I think, the castor oil one.

-That's a worry?

-Yeah, a slight worry.

Before we reveal how you did, time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Keith's answers.

Ross, has he achieved Perfection?

This time, I think we are 100% sure he has achieved Perfection.

Freddie, do you agree?

I agree with that, totally, yes.

-You think he achieved Perfection?

-I do.

-Thank you, Usual Suspects.

Keith, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Oh!

3 out of 4. It's a good effort

but not good enough, I'm afraid.

And as a result, your enemies,

the Usual Suspects can enter the breach.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Keith's answers.

You need to change one. Which one?

-Numismatist.

-Numismatist?

-I've never heard that word

but also, likewise,

-I've never heard of a reservoir...

-Called Kipling?

-Yeah.

It's between C and D

-so I think C is safer.

-Yes.

-C, we're going to go for C.

-You're saying C?

-Yes.

Changing C from false to true,

leaving A, B and D as Keith answered.

To be clear, you think there isn't a reservoir called Rudyard Kipling?

-He answered false, you changed it to true.

-It's the most obscure...

Am I right in thinking you may have made a mistake there?

I think you're right. Yes, that's correct.

That's the decision you've made. I just want to be clear,

you talked yourselves out of the answer you meant to give.

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

Castor oil comes from the flax plant, is that true or false?

It is false. It is linseed oil.

Chianti wine is produced in Italy.

You said that's true.

Is it true or false?

It's true. From Tuscany.

Here's the one, Rudyard Kipling was named after a reservoir.

Suspects, you look sure there isn't a reservoir named Rudyard Kipling

so you changed it from false to true.

Interesting tactic.

Is it true or false?

It's true!

Yay!

His parents actually met at Rudyard lake in Staffordshire.

And so finally,

a numismatist collects coins,

true or false?

Yeah, it's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Keith, the Usual Suspects succeeded accidentally where you failed

and stole the round. Usual Suspects, you now have an opportunity

to make Keith's chances of winning the prize fund

as hard as they can be. Let's have a look at the final board.

No categories chosen so far.

Because you won the round, you can choose six categories for the board.

That's two from the first round, two from the second round

and two from the round we've just played.

So which six would you like Keith to play in the final?

I'm not sure Keith would have a worm farm at home,

so I think probably Worms would be a good one to go for.

We'll go for Worms.

Worms goes across into the final.

-I was thinking Goddesses.

-Freddie's harping on Goddesses.

-Goddesses?

-Goddesses, yeah.

Goddesses goes across. Thank you.

What about Sprinters?

-Sprinters would be a tough one, I imagine.

-Do you think?

-Sprinters?

-Sprinters.

Three more.

-Toes?

-Toes, yes.

Toes goes across. Two more.

I'm not being ageist, but Keith's not the youngest,

so Gulliver's Travels may...

No, it's a classic.

Yeah, but his memory may be going...

LAUGHTER

Sorry, Keith.

-If you want to throw it in...

-Let's go for Gulliver's travels, then.

Gulliver's Travels goes across.

-Thank you. And...?

-Freddie, you pick one.

Oh, Military Writers.

-You think?

-OK.

Military Writers goes across.

Thank you very much.

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

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

And away they go.

Worms, Goddesses, Sprinters, what do you make of all that lot?

It's probably about 50-50.

I would say I would have chosen half of them,

and I wouldn't have chosen the other half.

Well, Keith, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Keith, this is the all-important final. If you achieve Perfection,

you could leave with £1,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing

which is good for the Usual Suspects as one of them may play for a £2,000 rollover next time.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Keith, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

to win the £1,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, Nick.

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

Worms.

-False.

-False.

Goddesses.

-True.

-True.

Sprinters.

I know Eric Liddell was a really early sprinter.

I'm not sure whether he won an Olympic gold.

So I'm going to say false on that one.

-False.

-Yep.

Toes.

-I believe she actually did. I think that's true.

-True.

Gulliver's Travels.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to think that might be true,

-so I'm going to go for true.

-True.

Military writers.

I don't know much about his novels, but something is niggling at me

saying he may well be a US Navy Seal Commander,

so I'm going to say true.

True. Those answers are locked in. Remember, if there's one mistake,

you leave with nothing. Which ones are you worried about?

I'm worried about F and C, Eric Liddle, I think.

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

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

and next to them are Keith's answers.

Your answers are locked.

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-Can I hear from Ross first?

I think you have two definite wrong answers in that round.

Because the prize fund is so low, I'd be willing to come down to help.

-That's very honest.

-Yeah.

Yeah. Freddie.

There's a couple that I think you've got wrong there.

But I wouldn't be certain on the others so I don't think I can help you at this time. Sorry.

BB.

I think you've done really well, but there's one I think is wrong.

I'm going to go with Ross and be honest.

The money doesn't interest me at this time.

OK. Not enough money for BB there.

£1,000 is what you've got in the prize fund.

What're you going to do?

Going back again, Ross, what happens if I offer £700 to you

and me walk away with £300?

Sorry, was that £1,000? That's awful kind of you, Keith!

But at this stage I wouldn't be 100% sure

on the two that I think you've got wrong.

At this time I will definitely have to say that I'm out, unfortunately.

Sounds like they're not going to help out so you're on your own. £1,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

OK, starting at the top.

Earthworms are vertebrates. You said false.

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

It is false. Congratulations.

APPLAUSE

They're invertebrates. There's no backbone.

Aurora was the Roman goddess of the dawn. You said that was true.

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

It is true.

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

Eric Liddell won Olympic gold in the 100 metres in 1924.

This is interesting, because you thought about it,

and I thought you were going to say yes but in the end you say false.

I just wasn't sure about the Olympic gold part of it.

You said false.

We need this to turn red to get you halfway to the £1,000.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

Oddly, he did win Olympic gold, but it was in the 400 metres.

-Ah.

-So then we get to Anne Boleyn.

Anne Boleyn had 12 toes.

You seemed to remember that this was right so you said true.

You need this to turn green to get you just two away from the £1,000.

Is it true or false?

False, I'm afraid.

Perhaps you were thinking of the rumour that she had six fingers.

-Oh.

-Unfortunately, you've failed to achieve Perfection,

which means you won't be going home with the £1,000.

Can you still achieve Perfection at home?

Let's have a look through the rest of the statements and the answers.

Gulliver's first name is Lemuel. You said true. Is it true or false?

It's true. Absolutely. Good memory.

Finally, Andy McNabb was a US Navy Seal Commander.

You said that's true. Is it true or false?

It's false, in actual fact. He was in the SAS.

Usual Suspects, that's great news for you. The prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £2,000.

You did very well there. You failed to achieve Perfection,

but considering that they chose your categories, I think four out of six isn't at all bad.

Either way I'm afraid it means you go home with nothing,

-but I hope you've enjoyed playing.

-I had a fantastic day.

-It's been lovely having you. Ladies and gentlemen, Keith.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for. Please join us next time

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £2,000.

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

APPLAUSE
