Episode 4 Perfection

This quiz demands nothing less than perfection. Behind the screen

are contestants who hope their knowledge is flawless as 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 here to play Perfection.

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

For example, if I said:

Would you say that's true or false?

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

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong,

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.

Hi, I'm am Anyla from London.

I'm an economics student and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Mina from London, I'm policy officer

and this is my second game.

Hello, I am Linda from Devon.

I'm secretary administrator and this is my third game.

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

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

Welcome to all, and best of luck

as we now find out which one of you

has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Linda, it's you!

You have been chosen.

Please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Welcome.

-Thank you.

-Looking forward to playing?

Of course. Very competitive, I'm going to give it my best shot.

-Tell us a bit about yourself and your family.

-I live with Badger.

-This is your husband?

-My husband.

How does come by the name Badger?

-He's sort of snuffly and woodland creature-like.

-Is he?!

I like snuffly. I have a daughter who is married and living in Surrey.

Linda, it's you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Here's the good news.

No-one has won in the past two games so the prize fund stands at £3,000.

-A very tidy sum in the current climate.

-Indeed so.

What will it be spent on if you win it?

I haven't yet had a convertible sports car

and it's about time I did.

-Is that what you fancy?

-So, I want a convertible sports car.

We shall see how that works out for you. Good luck.

You'll play three rounds and then a final.

Every round that you achieve perfection

will make the final easier.

If your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects have the chance to step in

and steal the round making the final that much harder.

Usual Suspects, we are going to switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything.

And away they go.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be answering against the clock, you'll only have 45 seconds.

Once you have given your first answer, they'll be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Round One, your 45 seconds starts now.

-OK.

I am not sure about this one,

but I don't think so.

-I think it's false.

-False.

I know they won, but gosh, true.

True.

-False.

-False. And finally...

C, for Cameron, C, for Cambridge.

-True.

-True.

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

-Did that feel like a good round?

-No.

-Not really.

I don't think Rihanna was born in Barbados.

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

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Linda's answers.

-Let's start with Aubrey.

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

-I believe England won the World Cup in rugby in 2003.

-Interesting.

Linda, the moment of truth.

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

Agh!

Just one! Not a great round that one, to be honest.

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

You need to change three of them.

I believe David Cameron did go to Cambridge University.

That's the one she's got right. I don't think he went to Oxford.

A, Venus is not the largest planet,

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system.

Anyla, what do you think?

That Venus question is definitely right.

I'll go with the majority, Nick, and change B, C and D.

B changes from true to false.

C changes from false to true, D changes from true to false.

And A stays as Linda said, false.

Let's find out straightaway.

Venus is the solar system's largest planet.

Is it true or false?

It's false.

-Yes, which one did you say was the biggest?

-Jupiter.

Jupiter IS the biggest.

England won the 2007 Rugby World Cup, is that true or false?

It is false. They won in 2003.

The singer Rihanna was born in Barbados.

Is it true or false?

It's true,

so you now know where this is going.

David Cameron attended Cambridge University, is that true or false?

It is, of course, false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

He did go to Oxford, actually.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Linda's chances of winning the prize fund

much harder in the final.

Linda, this is your final board.

Six blank spaces, here are the final round categories.

Starting with Boy Bands through to Big Cats

with many more in-between.

If you had won that round, you would have the opportunity of adding

two categories of your choice to the board.

But as the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

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

So, Usual Suspects,

which two would you like Linda to play in the final?

-I don't think she'll know Spanish.

-No?

-No.

-No?

-She won't know Spanish.

-I thought Diseases.

-I will go with you girls, again.

What's it going to be, Aubrey?

Spanish, and Diseases.

Spanish and Diseases.

All right, well done, Usual Suspects.

You won the first round, time to switch you off.

See you in Round Two. Away they go.

What do you think of their choices? Do you know any Spanish?

-I do know Spanish.

-Do you?

-I do.

-Diseases?

-I have had a few.

I'm not going to go any further down that line.

-I'm interested in medicine and such like things.

-Are you?

-OK, Linda, are you ready for the next round?

-I am.

Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That's true.

-True.

No, I think he only did three.

-That's false.

-False.

-No, that's false.

-False.

SCOTTISH ACCENT: Aye, he is.

-That'll be true.

-True!

And with time to spare.

What sort of accent was that?

-What part of the world...?

-It was a Scottish Devonian.

Scottish Devonian!

It ended up somewhere in the middle, somewhere around Birmingham.

But anyway, you took some time

-over Charlotte Bronte as well.

-Yes.

-What were you thinking?

-I was thinking I didn't know it, really.

-So, that's a guess?

-It is.

Before we reveal how well you have done,

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

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Linda's answers. Anyla?

I think she's done quite well.

I think she's got A, C, and D, right,

but I'm not sure about B.

I'm trying to think about how many films Pierce has been in.

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

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

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Linda.

You have achieved perfection. Well done.

Well, let's have a look at those answers in more detail.

Ceylon is a former name for Sri Lanka.

Yes, we know now that's absolutely true.

Pierce Brosnan stared in six James Bond films,

you said that was false, it is, of course, false.

-You think it's...

-Three.

-Actually four.

-Is it?

-Yes.

-I've missed one.

Importantly, it's not six.

Charlotte Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights.

You said that was false, we now know that to be false.

Emily Bronte.

St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland,

and that is, of course, true.

As a result of that performance

you've made winning the prize fund easier. Let's see the board.

Two subjects on there

chosen by the Usual Suspects, Spanish and Diseases.

So which ones do you fancy?

I think I would like Families and Boybands.

-And Boybands!

-I'm younger than I look!

OK. Whichever way I go with that I'm going to get into trouble!

Families goes across.

And Boybands.

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

we'll see you in the next round.

-There you go. That's the way to play it, Linda.

-Yes.

If you get them right, they don't get a look in.

It's down to you.

-Are you ready to play?

-I am.

Good. Let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Oh, false, I think he's Austrian.

-False.

-Hmm.

-Er, true.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-Yes.

No, she didn't, but I don't know who did. So that's false.

False, and with time to spare.

You've answered all four statements.

-That felt like a more positive round to me. No?

-It's B, really.

B's the one that I could get wrong.

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 Linda's answers.

Last time round, she didn't let you have a look in. Mina?

I think she's close to perfection.

She's definitely got C and D right.

But if there is one I'm unsure of, it's B,

cos I'm not sure if Victoria was reigning for that long.

OK. So, Linda, the moment of truth.

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

Three out of four's good

but not good enough in this game.

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

-You need to change just one of them.

-I would think B.

But Franz Liszt, is he definitely Hungarian, or Austrian?

I thought Victoria was queen for a long, long time.

She was for a long time. I'm not sure about B.

I think A, she might have got that right.

It's between A and B, but I'll leave that if you think...

The girls were right the first time, so I'll go with them again

and we'll change B from true to false.

So you're changing B from true to false,

-leaving A, C and D as answered by Linda.

-Yes.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Franz Liszt was a Hungarian composer.

Linda said it was false, Usual Suspects agreed.

It is false or true?

It's true!

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects,

you had a chance to steal the round from Linda

but you failed to achieve perfection.

Let's see the rest. Are you still on for perfection at home?

Let's have a look.

Victoria was queen of the UK for over 60 years.

Is that true or false?

It's true. 1837 to 1901.

Richard Gere was married to Claudia Schiffer. Is that true or false?

It's false. Cindy Crawford. Did you know that, Linda?

-I did.

-You did, yes.

In EastEnders, Sharon killed Dirty Den. True or false?

False.

-Anybody remember who it was?

-It was his wife.

-It was his wife, Chrissie.

Absolutely. Let's have a look at the board.

Four subjects chosen.

So nobody managed to win Round Three,

meaning we have two blank spaces still to be filled.

To fill those blank spaces,

you'll take it in turns to choose a category.

Linda, as the player, you get to choose first.

Which category would you like to add?

-Big Cats.

-Big Cats

goes across into the final.

And Usual Suspects, choose a category

that you think will trouble Linda.

-Monuments.

-You think Monuments?

-Monuments.

-All in agreement, Aubrey?

Monuments, please, Nick.

Monuments, thank you very much. We now know our six final categories.

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

Away they go. So, what do you make of that final board?

I don't like the bottom one at all.

-You don't like monuments?

-No.

No, they're a bit stationary, aren't they? Boring.

OK, you find monuments boring.

Let's hope that it comes up with a question you know.

Linda, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Linda, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £3,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing, great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £4,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Linda, here are your six final categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £3,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit.

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

-OK.

-You ready?

-Yes, I'm ready.

-Good. Let's reveal your first statement.

Spanish.

I think...

..that that is the Spanish word for...Thursday.

I'm going to say...

-..false.

-False.

-Yes.

Diseases.

I know this one.

I missed a physics lesson because of this,

which was great news for me. That is true.

-True.

-Yes.

Families.

Logically, I should say true.

-False.

-False.

-Boybands.

-Yes!

No, he's in Blue!

-False.

-False!

THEY LAUGH

I'm not even going to ask! Big Cats.

That sounds fair enough. I think that's...

Or is it there?

-True.

-True.

-Mmm.

And finally, you were dreading it, Monuments.

I'm a feet, inches and yards girl.

-False.

-False.

-Yes.

Linda, those answers are locked in.

Which ones are you unsure of?

The Nelson's Column, and the Bridget Fonda.

-C and F, then?

-Yeah.

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

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

and next to them are Linda's answers.

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

but if you think you've made a mistake,

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you to tell me

how well you think Linda has done,

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

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

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

-Aubrey, please.

Hi, Linda.

I believe you've got three right and there's three I'm not sure of,

but I don't think I'll be coming down to help you. Sorry.

OK. And to you, Anyla, how do you think I did?

There's one I'm not sure about, but I think you've done really well.

So, you're prepared to come and help?

I don't think so, cos there's one that I'm really not sure about.

Mina, please.

-Mina.

-How well do you think you've done?

I think I have three correct, and I'm not sure about three.

I think I could help you, then, for 2,000?

Mina wants 2,000 of your £3,000 to come down and help you.

I'm afraid that wasn't the figure

- I was looking for. - OK.

How about we split it half and half?

A straightforward choice. If you don't get 1,500,

-you're staying there, Mina, and on to the next game?

-Yes.

OK, Mina, I would like your help.

OK, negotiations have been agreed.

Mina, for £1,500 of the £3,000 available, please come and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Linda, you've asked Mina for help.

Mina, you've forfeited a chance of playing the next game.

This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

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

Here are the final round statements.

Mina, which answers do you want Linda to change?

I wasn't sure about Nelson's Column, 35 metres tall.

-Which one were you unsure of?

-F.

-It's F.

-F is the one.

-Doesn't help, cos I thought we would cross.

-35 metres is pretty tall.

-It's difficult, isn't it?

I thought it was shorter.

This is really tough.

-Well, Linda, remember, it's still your decision.

-Hmm.

Do you want to change any of them,

now that you've actually had Mina run through it with you?

No, I don't want to change any from A to E.

It's just that Nelson's Column question.

You work in London. Does it look...

I'm quite short, though, so everything looks...

LAUGHTER

Actually, I'd forgotten that when I asked you to help me. Erm...

Oh, Lord!

OK. Decision time.

I'm going to stick with false.

-So you're not going to change anything on the board now?

-No.

OK. Those answers are now locked in.

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

-Lte's start with the one that you're worried about, put you out of your misery.

-No.

LAUGHTER

-No?

-No!

-Really?

-I might pass out!

You might as well deal with it...

That's the one, you know. ..otherwise you store it up...

-OK, all right.

-Nelson's Column

is 35 metres tall. You said false.

Mina came down to help you.

But you didn't change anything and you stuck with false.

You need this to turn red.

If it turns green, it's all over right here, right now.

Nelson's Column is 35 metres tall. Is that true or false?

It's false!

APPLAUSE

We're not out of the woods yet, though!

It's over 50 metres high. It's actually bigger than that.

Right. Let's start at the top

and go through them.

Jueves is the Spanish word for Tuesday. You said false.

-Mina agreed with you.

-I thought it meant eggs.

-Huevas is eggs, I think.

-Oh, is it? OK.

-I think that's Thursday.

-You need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

Jueves IS Thursday.

APPLAUSE

Well done. German measles is another name for rubella.

When this question came up, you seemed very certain, you said true.

Mina agreed that it was true. We need this to turn green.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

So, only three more to go. Halfway there.

Bridget Fonda's the daughter of Jane Fonda.

Linda, you said it was false, Mina agreed,

couldn't possibly be true.

You need this to turn red.

APPLAUSE

Niece of Jane Fonda, daughter of Peter Fonda.

So just the two to go. Boybands.

Antony Costa is a member of JLS.

You said that was false. So it's going to turn red for sure.

-Definitely.

-If it does you're only one away from the £3,000.

Antony Costa is a member of JLS.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

He is in Blue, as you said. So you are now just one question away

-and you were pretty confident of this one?

-I was, yeah.

So £3,000 at stake, one question left.

The jaguar is native to Africa.

Linda, you said that was true.

Mina came down and agreed with you that that was true.

You need this to turn green.

If it does, you've won the money.

If it doesn't, if it turns red,

you're going home with nothing.

The jaguar is native to Africa. Is that true or false?

For £3,000...

It's false!

-It's native to South America...

-Do you know... Oh, no!

-South and Central America.

-Oh! No!

-Oh, dear.

-I hate big cats.

-LAUGHTER

-Do you know, I thought...

-I will from now on.

-Did you never waver in the thought?

-I did.

-I thought you did.

-I did waver...

-I thought you were bang on.

-I did. I thought, hmm...no.

Five out of six isn't bad but it's not good enough

and you didn't manage to achieve perfection.

Usual Suspects, that's good news for you

and the prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £4,000.

You must be very pleased.

APPLAUSE

Linda, Mina, you failed to achieve perfection, so you go home with nothing.

-I hope you enjoyed playing.

-Great time, thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mina and Linda.

APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspects

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, I'm Tony from Carrick Fergus in County Antrim

and I'm a broadcast journalist.

Hello, my name's Linda, I'm from Hitchin in Hertfordshire

and I'm a supply teacher.

Welcome to you both and best of luck to you all as we now find out

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

Anyla, it is you who's been chosen.

Please come and play Perfection.

Anyla, welcome to the game, tell us a bit more about yourself.

-So you're a student?

-I'm an economics student in London at LSE.

-London School of Economics?

-Yes.

-You want to be...?

-I want to be a banker and then hopefully work for the government.

-That's where the money is, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-And that's what you're after?

-Yep.

That's what you're after here, too. It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

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

the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

APPLAUSE

It's not quite banking money but it's good money

-when you're a student.

-Yeah, it's lovely money.

What's it going to be spent on if you win £4,000?

Hopefully a car and my driving licence.

All right, good luck. Three rounds and a final to come.

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

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

And away they go.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Good. Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I'm not sure about that one

-but I'm going to say true.

-True.

-I think that's true.

-True.

-False.

-False. And finally...

I definitely don't think

that's a type of cheese.

-False.

-False.

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

-That felt like a very good round.

-I'm not sure.

-No?

-No.

-You seemed confident on the answers.

-I look like a confident person but...

-That's that the trick? Look confident and get away with it.

-Yes.

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

So, Usual Suspects,

these were the four statements,

next to them are Anyla's answers.

Tony, has she achieved perfection?

I think Anyla's done pretty well

but A, I think A could be wrong.

It might be to do with Vietnam.

OK, Anyla, the moment of truth.

You must answer the statements perfectly to win.

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Three out of four's pretty good

but in this game it's not good enough.

Usual Suspects,

can you steal the round?

You can see the answers.

You need to change one of them.

-We'll go with A?

-A.

-A, OK.

Unanimous decision, Nick. We'll change A from true to false.

A changes from true to false,

leaving B, C and D as answered by Anyla.

Let's see what the correct answers are.

Khmer is the official language of Burma.

Is that true or false?

It's the language of Cambodia.

It is false. Well done.

George W Bush was convicted

of drink-driving.

It is that true or false?

It is true.

You've got a pretty good idea where this is going now, don't you?

Stuart Broad has played football for England. True or false?

False. He plays cricket for England.

Linguine is a type of cheese.

True or false?

It is false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Linguine is, of course, a type of pasta.

Usual Suspects, you've an opportunity to make Anyla's chances

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

Anyla, this is your final board. Here are the final-round categories.

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

-Mythology?

-I would've thought mythology.

-Yes.

What about Olympics?

She's not sporty.

Don't think so.

-Yes, I'll go with you on Olympics.

-Mythology, Nick.

Mythology becomes the first subject in the final.

-And Olympics.

-And Olympics becomes the second.

Usual Suspects, you've won the first round.

Time to switch you off but we will see you in Round Two.

And away they go.

With them gone, what do you make of what they've chosen?

-Mythology, first of all.

-I think that might be OK. Mythology is OK.

-So how's Olympics?

-Oh, I'm not sure about that.

-Not a great one for you.

Over on the left,

looking at those subjects,

which ones would you like to avoid?

I think Hamlet. I've studied the other Shakespeare plays but not that.

-You don't know it very well?

-No.

-Are you ready to play the next round?

-Yep.

Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Yes. True.

-True.

-No, it doesn't. False.

-False.

-False.

-False.

Erm... I'm not sure about this one.

I'm going to go with true.

True.

-You sound less convinced of that round than the one before.

-Yeah.

I didn't know D. D was a total guess.

I think B... I don't think her name is Julie.

A bit of a mixed bag, then?

Yeah, I don't think that was great.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and Anyla's answers.

-Aubrey, what do you think?

-She hasn't achieved perfection, no.

Martin Freeman played Tim. Gareth was Mackenzie Crook.

Anyla, the moment of truth. Let's see how many you've got correct.

Three, as predicted by the Usual Suspects.

It's good, but not good enough.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Anyla's answers, you need to change just one of them.

-A.

-A.

-Definitely A, Nick.

Change from true to false.

A changes from true to false,

leaving B, C and D as answered by Anyla.

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

Yup, it's false. You're exactly right.

-Do you want to tell us again who it was, Aubrey?

-He played Tim.

-Gareth was played by Mackenzie Crook.

-Exactly right.

OK, so you know where this is going to go now.

It stands for Joanne.

Sacramento is, in fact, the capital.

-It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

-APPLAUSE

You've achieved perfection.

So, Anyla, the Usual Suspects have once again succeeded

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

Let's see the final board. Two subjects already chosen

by the Usual Suspects, and because you won that round,

you get to choose the next two categories.

-I think Battles and maybe Hamlet.

-Yeah.

Battles, please, Nick.

Battles next, and then...?

Hamlet?

She's an economist. She might not like literature.

Hamlet, please, Nick.

Hamlet. Thank you very much.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've won the second round. We'll see you in Round Three.

There they go.

-They chose it. You said you didn't want Hamlet.

-No, I didn't want Hamlet.

-How about Battles?

-Battles is OK.

-Are you ready to play?

-Yeah.

-You got close last time.

-You have to get a little closer.

-I keep getting just one wrong.

-Let's play Round Three.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think that's true.

True.

I think, um...

Wimbledon...

-I'm going to say false for that one.

-False.

Pray was Take That's first UK number one single.

-False.

-False.

And finally, there are 13 stars on the Australian flag.

I'm not sure about this one.

Running out of time.

I'm going to say true for that one.

True.

You didn't look terribly comfortable through that either.

Yeah. I don't know about the Australian flag.

-I can't picture it. I don't know whether there are 13 stars.

-OK.

It's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Hello again, Usual Suspects.

These are the four statements and next to them are Anyla's answers.

-OK, Tony?

-I think yet again Anyla's done very well.

I think yet again she's got one wrong. I would be plumping for D.

Interesting. OK, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered perfectly to have won the round. Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two of the four.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Anyla's answers.

You need to change two of them,

which I think has come as something of a shock to you.

-So which two will it be?

-I'm pretty sure the duck-billed platypus is a mammal.

-I think so.

Virginia Wade won it in 1977, the Jubilee year.

-Maybe C and D?

-C and D.

We're going to change C from false to true...

C changes from false to true.

..and D from true to false.

And D from true to false,

leaving A and B as answered by Anyla.

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

An egg-laying mammal, interestingly enough.

It is false. 1977.

It's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

-APPLAUSE

-There are, in fact, six stars

on the Australian flag. Why?

-One for each state?

-Yeah.

OK, so, the Usual Suspects,

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

-about as hard as it could be!

-LAUGHTER

Four subjects already chosen - all chosen by the Usual Suspects -

and because you won the round, you've earned the right to chose the last two subject categories. So?

-Populations? Birthdates?

-Yeah.

-I've no idea.

Populations and Birthdates.

-Populations, Nick.

-Populations goes across.

-And Birthdates, please, Nick.

-And Birthdates...

goes across, too.

We now know our six final categories.

OK, guys, it's time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio.

Do you like the look of that?

Yeah, lovely(!) LAUGHTER

Not a single one chosen by you. Anyla, for £4,000,

-it's time to play the final.

-APPLAUSE

Anyla, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £4,000.

If you fail, you could leave with nothing,

great for the Usual Suspects because one of them could be playing for a rollover of £5,000

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

APPLAUSE

Anyla, here are your six final categories.

Think carefully. There's no time limit.

But once you've given an answer, your first 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'm trying to remember back...

I don't know whether it was Perseus.

Um...

I think I'm going to go with...

-false.

-False.

I think this was, like, before I was born.

Um, I'm going to say...

-false.

-False.

I've never even heard of the battle of Spion Kop.

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

SHE SIGHS I've never read Hamlet!

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

I'm going to say false.

Oh, my mum's going to kill me. She's an artist.

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

Anyla, those answers are locked in.

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

Which ones are you unsure of?

Pretty much all of them!

Really? That bad, is it?

-Yeah, it's that bad.

-Not a single one that you can say, "I know that. I'm absolutely sure."

-No.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Anyla's answers.

Your answers are locked in. You can't change them, but if you've made a mistake,

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

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

-Can I hear from Aubrey first?

Aubrey?

There's only two questions that I know the answers to,

and you've got them both right.

The four others, I haven't got a clue.

I'd be guessing, either the same as you or different to you,

so unfortunately, I haven't got the confidence to come and help you.

OK, Linda, what do you think?

I think you've got some really tough questions here.

-You chose them!

-I would only be guessing.

I wouldn't be able to help you, Anyla.

Um...I would just be guessing.

Can I hear from Tony, please?

I think you've got at least one right.

I think there's four you've got wrong. You might have five.

I don't have enough confidence to come down and help you. Sorry.

Are you sure, Tony? Nothing would entice you to come down?

-Do you have an offer for him that might entice him down?

-Um...

-3,000.

-3,000 of the £4,000 is being offered here, Tony.

I'm not positive enough, and I don't want to blow any other chance

I may have. I'm pretty sure there's four I could get right,

and you've got one. It's just that one that has me

doubting too much to risk it. Sorry.

-OK, Tony.

-All right, well, negotiations seem

to have come to an end.

The Usual Suspects are not willing to help. Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

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

Perseus killed the Minotaur.

Is that true or false? You said it was false.

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

It is false. Good start.

Theseus killed the Minotaur.

So, let's move on to Olympics.

-You said this was probably before you were born.

-Yeah.

Carl Lewis won nine Olympic gold medals. True or false?

You said false.

You need this to turn red to continue on your way to the money.

Is it true or false?

It's true, I'm afraid. He did win nine Olympic gold medals.

So, I'm afraid you have not managed to achieve perfection on this occasion.

Have you achieved perfection at home? Let's continue and check.

It's false. South Africa is where Spion Kop took place.

Oddly, true. Half a billion people live in the USA.

You said that was false. Is it true or false?

It is false.

It's around 310 million, so you were right on that one.

I'm afraid it's false. 1452, 200 years earlier than that, I'm afraid.

The 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 £5,000.

APPLAUSE

-Tony, just as a matter of interest, could you have done that?

-Can I be truthful?

-Yeah.

-If I'd gone down there, I'd have been going home with £3,000.

-Ooh, that's got to hurt for you, too.

That might have been an opportunity. Either way, he didn't help,

and I'm afraid, Anyla,

you failed to achieve perfection which means

-that you go home with nothing. I hope you've enjoyed playing, though.

-I have, yeah.

-Thank you very much. Anyla, ladies and gentlemen.

-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 £5,000!

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

APPLAUSE
