Episode 8 Perfection

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

Behind this screen are four contestants

who hope their knowledge is flawless,

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

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 has been randomly selected

to join me here to play Perfection.

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

For example, if I said:

Would you say that's true or false?

Well, if you said true, I can tell you,

you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets a single answer,

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.

Hello, I'm Ann. I live in Hove in East Sussex.

I'm a retired local government admin assistant,

and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Joe from Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire.

I'm a broadcast journalism student, and this is my second game.

Hello, I'm David, I'm from Wakefield in West Yorkshire.

I'm a civil servant, and this is also my second game.

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

I'm a brewery worker, and this is my 16th 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.

Can it be true?! Aubrey, please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Aubrey, I'm quite emotional.

I can't believe you're finally down here to play the game.

It's been a long time coming, Nick.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates, you were their captain, effectively.

Now, it's all changed. They are your enemies.

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

Failure will mean the money rolls over to the next game,

where one of them could be playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news for Aubrey - nobody has one the past ten games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £11,000.

APPLAUSE

So, if you won the £11,000, what would it go on?

The first thing, me and the wife would go to Las Vegas.

And I did say about getting the drive block paved,

but the wife knocked that on the head.

She said Australia, as well.

Good luck. Here's how it works.

You play three rounds then a final.

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

However, if your performance is less than perfect,

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

making the final harder. More of that to follow.

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

so you can't see or hear anything.

And away they go, off into the dark.

-You can now talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge, OK?

-Yeah.

Each round consists of four true or false statements,

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

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

-You ready?

-Yes?

Good. Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds starts now.

Sri Lanka won the 2011 cricket World Cup.

I'm not a big cricket fan.

I believed India won that, so I'm going to say false.

False.

C is the Roman numeral for 50.

Oh, C. They're all letters, in the Roman numerals.

Er, true.

True. You need to push on with time, now.

Natalien won an Oscar for Black Swan,

-True.

-True. And finally,

Charles I was a Tudor King.

Tudor? No, false.

False.

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

-How did that feel?

-Erm, nervous out here.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them

are Aubrey's answers.

So, David, how do you think he's done?

There's not perfection there, Nick, for certain.

The glaring error is on B.

Joe?

I absolutely agree,

I believe that C actually equals 100.

There you go, it's a vote of no confidence from the Usual Suspects.

It's the moment of truth.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

Yup, three out of four. It's not good enough, you have not achieved perfection.

As a result, you've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects,

into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can steal the round. You can see his answers,

you need to change one of them.

Which one's it going to be?

Which do we think? Seemed pretty convincing to me.

-You happy with that?

-Yeah.

-Yep.

Nick, please, we will change answer B from true to false.

B Changes from true to false,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Aubrey.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Sri Lanka won the 2011 cricket World Cup. True or false?

Yes, it is, of course, false.

And it was, as you said, India who beat Sri Lanka in the final.

C is the Roman numeral for 50.

Aubrey, you said it was true, the Usual Suspects think you're wrong.

Is it true or false?

Yep, it is false. It's the Roman numeral for 100.

Natalie Portman won an Oscar for Black Swan.

You both said it was true.

It is true. You know where this is going.

Charles I the Tudor King.

Is it true or false? It is, of course, false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

He was, of course, a Stuart.

Well, Aubrey. They've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make

Aubrey's chances of winning the final,

and the prize fund, that much harder.

And here's how. Aubrey, this is your Final Board.

these six spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your final round categories. They range from '90s Pop

through Soup, through to Dating and many more in between.

If you'd won the round, you'd have the opportunity of adding two categories of your choice,

but because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you, they choose two categories,

hoping to make the final harder for you to win.

So, Usual Suspects, which two do you fancy?

Ann?

Erm, I don't know how good his voice is, but I rather fancy Singing.

Singing goes across into the final, thank you, Ann.

I'll be honest, I'm looking at myself, for interests,

and I'm going to go for '90s Pop, please.

'90s Pop. Very good of you to say out loud, very honest of you, Joe.

You don't have to admit anything, here. But you have an honest face, you're obviously an honest person.

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

Time to switch you off, we'll see you in round two.

-Aubrey.

-That's two of the categories I would definitely have picked.

-Which ones do you want to avoid?

-Mythology, and probably Novels.

I don't read as much as I should do.

OK, Mythology and Novels, the ones to avoid.

-You ready to play on?

-Certainly am, Nick.

Let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Barack Obama is the 34th US President.

-I'm sure I've read that as being true. So, true, please, Nick.

-True.

A yard is a unit of length equal to four feet.

That's definitely wrong, it's three feet.

So, that's...

-false.

-False.

Rapper Tinie Tempah's real name is Kwasi Danquah.

-That's false.

-False.

And finally,

Hawaii is the smallest US state by area.

Er. No, that's false as well.

False. With time to spare,

you've answered all four statements. Before we reveal how you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these were the four statements,

and next to them

are Aubrey's answers.

Joe, how's he done?

I'm not sure about C. I think that Tiny Tempah's real name is Kwasi Danquah.

Interesting.

Ann, do you know much about rapping?

I know nothing at all about rapping, so I've no idea on that one.

Do you think he's achieved perfection?

Not sure about A. I can't remember what number Barack Obama is.

-David?

-I thought rappers covered sweets,

so that's about all I can tell you.

But Barack Obama is the 44th President, not the 34th.

Interesting. OK, Aubrey, the moment of truth.

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

Three out of four's good in most environments.

Here it's not good enough. You failed to achieve perfection.

You've now let the Usual Suspects

into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Aubrey's answers.

You need to change one of them.

Which one?

I was obviously wrong about C, because now you've said about A

and Barack Obama, I wouldn't disagree with you.

OK, Nick, we're going to change question A, true to false, please.

A changes from true to false,

leaving B, C and D

as answered by Aubrey.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Barack Obama is the 34th US President.

Aubrey said it was true. You've changed that to false.

Is it true or false? Yup, it's false.

44. Absolutely right. Bang on, with that one.

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

A yard is a unit of length equal to four feet.

True or false? Of course it's false, it's actually three feet.

Rapper Tinie Tempah's real name is Kwasi Danquah.

True or false? False, of course.

Patrick Okogwu is his name.

Hawaii is the smallest US state by area.

It is, of course, false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Rhode Island is, in fact, the smallest state in itself.

Oh, dear. Aubrey, the Usual Suspects have done it again, they've stolen the round.

Let's look at the Final Board.

Yes, the Usual Suspects have chosen the first two subjects in the final,

and because you won the round,

you've earned the right to choose the next two.

So what are they going to be?

Well, Nick, Aubrey's in the soup, here,

so let's see what he's like on Soup.

Soup. And?

I mean, what will he be like with Action Heroes, for example?

He's one, himself. Let's go with Action Heroes, Nick.

Action Heroes becomes the fourth subject in the final.

Usual Suspects, you're doing really well, you've won the second round, too.

It's time to switch you off, and we'll see you in round three.

Away they go. They're killing you here, Aubrey.

-They're not.

-Are they not?

I thought they'd have noticed my waistline, so, you know,

-I do like the odd bowl of soup.

-Yes.

LAUGHTER

Anyway, let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

The Kiss is a famous sculpture by Rodin.

I haven't got a clue on that.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide.

-That's false, and I don't know the reason why.

-False.

Brian Clough briefly managed Manchester United.

Definitely false. Nottingham Forrest, Derby County, Hartlepool,

-but never Man United.

-False.

-False.

-And, finally, Katie Holmes played Lana Lang in Smallville.

I know she's married to Tom Cruise.

-Erm. True.

-True.

And after using some of that time to think about it,

you finally completed all four statements.

Good round, bad round?

Two, I'm certain of, two are guesses.

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

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these were the four statements

and next to them

are Aubrey's answers.

Ann, has he achieved perfection?

No, definitely not, cos A is definitely wrong.

I've seen it several times.

OK, Aubrey, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many you got correct.

One. Just one out of four.

Because you didn't manage perfection in that round,

you've let your enemies in again.

Can you steal the round again, Usual Suspects?

You need to change three answers, which ones is it going to be?

I'm a Man United fan, and although I don't know too much about the history,

I know Brian Clough never managed them. So that must be right.

So this is looking fairly clean cut for us, Nick.

We'd like to change A from false to true.

A changes from false to true.

Change B from false to true.

B changes from false to true.

And to finish with, we'd like to change D from true to false.

D changes from true to false.

Leaving C, false.

As answered by Aubrey.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

The Kiss is a famous sculpture by Rodin, true or false?

Yup, it is true, Ann was absolutely right on that one.

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide.

Is that true or false?

Yup, it is true.

Brian Clough briefly managed Manchester United.

True or false?

Yup, it is false.

And Katie Holmes played Lana Lang in Smallville,

true or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

She never appeared in Smallville.

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

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

of winning the prize fund about as hard as it can be.

Let's see the Final Board.

So, which ones are you choosing?

I like that Dating one.

-I'm happy.

-Yeah, we'll pick definitely Dating, Nick, please.

Dating goes across.

Really don't know about the last one.

I think it's such a wide subject, Myths, Mythology.

-Could cover anything.

-I'm happy with that.

He might know, but let's plump for Mythology.

Mythology goes across.

We now know our six final categories.

They are:

Usual Suspects, this is now time to switch you off for the final time.

And away they go. Aubrey, Mythology.

I still don't think it's bad to have five out of six that I'd have picked.

-It could've gone a lot worse.

-Yes.

-For £11,000 pounds,

it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £11,000.

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

which is great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £12,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Aubrey, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £11,000 pounds.

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

-Ready?

-Ready.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Singing.

Baritone is the lowest male singing voice.

I'm sure bass is the lowest.

False, Nick.

False. '90s Pop.

Girlfriend was Billie Piper's first UK number 1 hit.

Billie Piper?

I'm sure her first hit was Because We Want To.

I think that was a number 1.

So, that's false as well, Nick.

False.

Soup.

Mock turtle soup is made from sea urchins.

Um, no.

False. I'm going for false, please Nick.

False. Action Heroes.

Bruce Willis was born in West Germany.

It seems that silly it could be true,

but I'm going to go false, please.

-False.

-Yes.

Dating.

The singer Sinita used to date Brad Pitt.

Erm,

I'm 99% sure that's true.

So, true, please, Nick.

True. And finally, Mythology.

Heracles killed the Nemean Lion.

I'm going to go false with that, Nick, as well, please.

-And that's a complete guess.

-False.

-Yes.

Aubrey, those answers are locked in.

If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of?

F, D, C and A.

OK, let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements,

and next to them

are Aubrey's answers.

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

but if you think you made a mistake you can unlock the board

with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, of course, come at a cost.

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

how well you think he's done, if you want to help,

and if you do, how much it will cost.

Aubrey, who would you like to hear from first?

Because he's got an honest face, Joe, please.

Looking at the questions, how do you think you've done?

I believe I got all six right, Joe.

Well, I think you've got one wrong,

and I don't know the rest, so I'm sorry,

but I'm not going to be coming to help you.

Not for any amount of money?

Unfortunately not, I don't know the answers, so...

All right, Joe, thank you.

Er, Ann, please.

Aubrey, I can see two that are definitely wrong.

A couple of others I just don't know whether you're right or wrong,

so I'm not going to come down.

-Ann's ruled herself out, too.

-That leaves you, David.

You've left a lasting impression on me

and on this chair I'm now occupying,

but on this occasion there are four incorrect answers there.

There's another one I'm not sure about.

I think that's just too much to ask in this particular game, mate. Sorry.

Not for any amount of money will you come down?

The money's going to roll over, I'd like my chance at that,

so, unfortunately, I can't help you out.

OK, David.

So you are on your own.

£11,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

OK, starting at the top. Baritone is the lowest male singing voice.

You said you thought it was bass, so you said false. Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

Bass is, and then you have bass-baritone, and so on.

B. Girlfriend was Billie Piper's first UK number 1 hit.

You said false. Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

And your knowledge of music hasn't let you down.

It was Because We Want To.

So we move onto C. Mock turtle soup is made from sea urchins.

You said false. Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

Oddly, it's usually made from calf's head.

So, three right, halfway to the money. £11,000.

Couple of big holidays coming up if you can get the last three correct.

Bruce Willis was born in West Germany.

You said it was false.

Is it possible the board could start with four reds? You need it to.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

His father was stationed there at a US military base.

That's why he was born in Germany.

Well, I'm afraid, Aubrey, after all this time in the hot seat,

you've managed to avoid perfection.

And sadly that means that you go home with no cash.

Can you achieve perfection at home?

Let's go through the rest of the answers and see how close Aubrey was.

The singer Sinita used to date Brad Pitt.

You said that was true.

It is...true.

Heracles killed the Nemean lion.

You said that was false.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

Another one wrong. So, it was four out of six.

Not bad, but not good enough, I'm afraid.

Usual Suspects, that's fantastic news.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £12,000.

APPLAUSE

Have you enjoyed your time on the show?

I've really enjoyed myself, yes.

You have set the record as the longest serving Usual Suspect.

We loved having you. Ladies and gentlemen, Aubrey.

APPLAUSE

Well, it's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hello, I'm Donna from Perth, and I'm a sustainable transport assistant.

Best of luck to you,

as we now find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Donna, it is, in fact, you.

-My goodness!

-Please come down and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Donna, welcome to the game.

No sooner had I said you could sit down and take the weight off,

when you were walking back to the studio here.

I know, my gosh, it's happened so quickly.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Here's the good news. As nobody has won the past 11 games,

the prize fund currently stands at £12,000.

Wow!

APPLAUSE

So, £12,000 in the pot. You walk away with it, what do you do?

I'm looking to go to a trip to Nepal.

-What, to go up Everest?

-Not Everest.

I wish. Just maybe to base camp. Around that region, and visit a few of the monasteries and things.

-That'd really be my dream.

-Really? What a great dream that is. OK.

Three rounds and the final to come.

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

but as soon as Donna makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game. And away they go, off into the dark.

You can talk through your answers without giving away knowledge.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Shall we get into it?

-That'd be great.

Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds starts now.

Guyana is a country in South America.

I would take a guess at false for that, Nick.

I think it's Africa.

-False.

-False for that one.

Samuel L Jackson's middle name is Lionel.

Gosh.

I'm going to say true for that one.

-True, and you're halfway through your time.

-It's a guess. OK.

The model Gisele Bundchen is married to Seal.

-True, I believe, yes.

-True.

And finally, leopards are the largest of the big cats.

I would say false for that one.

-False.

-Yes.

-Sorry to hurry you there.

-That's all right. I take my time.

I was worried, taking your time over the first two,

-you were going to struggle. How was that, as a round?

-I think I did OK.

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

So, these were the four statements,

next to them are Donna's answers.

David, how's she done?

I don't think Seal is married to Gisele Bundchen.

He's married to another supermodel.

-Ann, what do you think?

-Seal is married to Heidi Klum.

- So he is. - Guyana, I'm pretty certain, is in South America.

The other two I'm not sure.

Donna. The moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly to have won the round.

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

-Not going past one. Not a good round.

-Not a good round.

You've failed to achieve perfection, which means you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

You can see Donna's answers,

you need to change three. Which three?

A and C are definitely wrong.

-We agree on C being wrong.

-Yeah.

And A is wrong. I think B is right.

That sounds good, I think we're pretty unanimous here, Nick.

OK, so the change is?

For A, we'll change false to true.

A changes from false to true.

C changes from true to false.

C goes from true to false.

And D changes from false to true.

D changes from false to true,

leaving B as answered by Donna.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Guyana is a country in South America, true or false?

It's true.

Samuel L Jackson's middle name is Lionel. True or false?

False.

It's Leroy.

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round from Donna, but you failed to achieve perfection.

Are you on for perfection at home? Let's go through the rest of the answers and see.

The model Gisele Bundchen is married to Seal. True or false?

False. Married to Heidi Klum, as you said.

And leopards are the largest of the big cats. True or false?

False. Siberian tigers are the largest.

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would have the opportunity to make Donna's chances of winning the prize fund harder,

and I'm going to explain how.

Donna, this is your Final Board appearing.

The six blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your final round categories.

They range from Mountains through Soaps and Conflicts with many more 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 be on offer.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off. We'll see you in round two. And away they go.

Looking at those subjects, which are you trying to avoid?

Probably Lib Dems and Rugby Union.

-OK. You ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Zac Efron stars in the Twilight films.

Gosh. One of these younger actors and younger films.

-I would say true for that one.

-True.

Henry McCarty was the real name of The Sundance Kid.

I would say false, cos I don't think it is Henry McCarty.

-I don't know who it is, but I don't think it is Henry. False.

-False.

Hugh Laurie is older than Stephen Fry.

-True.

-True.

And finally, Alton Towers is located in Berkshire.

-I'll say false for that one.

-False.

-Don't know why, but false.

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

Perfect round or not?

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure.

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

These are the four statements, and next to them

are Donna's answers.

Joe, has she achieved perfection this time?

Donna has not achieved perfection on this time.

Zac Efron does not star in Twilight, I believe it's Robert Pattinson.

The moment of truth. You need to answer all four perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Two, it's not going any further.

Which means, again, you've failed to achieve perfection.

You've let the enemies in.

The Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Donna's answers,

you need to change two of them.

A is certainly wrong.

Alton Towers is located in Staffordshire.

I'd agree with that. And I know that McCarty is not the real name of The Sundance Kid,

so therefore we are left with...

C must be false.

Must be the false one, yeah.

Yep, so we are agreed that we're going to change C, true to false.

C changes from true to false, and one other one?

A changes from true to false.

A changes from true to false, leaving B

and D as Donna first answered.

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

Zac Efron stars in the Twilight films. True or false?

It is false. And Joe, you were right about Robert Pattinson.

Henry McCarty was the real name of The Sundance Kid. True or false?

Yup, it's false.

It's Billy The Kid's real name, in actual fact.

Hugh Laurie is older than Stephen Fry. True or false?

Yep, it's false. Stephen Fry was born in '57, Laurie in '59.

Though I'm sure Stephen Fry won't thank us for pointing that out.

Alton Towers is located in Berkshire. True or false?

Yeah, it's false. Congratulations.

Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

And as you rightly pointed out, Usual Suspects, it's in Staffordshire.

So, Donna. The Usual Suspects have succeeded again where you failed.

-They have, yes.

-And they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Donna's changes of winning the prize fund harder. Let's see the Final Board.

No subjects there because no-one won the last round.

Because you won this round, you've earned the right to choose four categories to add to the board.

So, which four would you like Donna to play in the final?

There's one that stands out for me, big time, to give her,

and that would be Rugby Union.

-OK, Nick, let's put in Rugby Union, please.

-Rugby Union goes across first.

The politics one? Thinking that might be one to put in?

-OK, let's put in Lib Dems, please.

-Lib Dems goes across.

From a personal point, I'd like to put The Moon in.

-The Moon goes across.

-Yeah.

And one more, please.

I have a feeling that she could be strong in soaps.

I wouldn't choose Mountains, either.

-Human Body?

-We've all got one.

-Exactly.

LAUGHTER

Let's go for the Human Body, please.

Human Body. Usual Suspects, you've won the second round.

It's time to switch you off, but we will see you in round three.

-Well, Donna?

-Two rotters, eh?

LAUGHTER

The two you didn't want were the first two they picked.

-They've got you sussed, haven't they?

-My goodness.

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

-Are you ready?

-I am.

-Right, let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now. Nelson fought at the Battle of Waterloo.

-Battle of Waterloo. I'm sure he did. True.

-True.

Catch-22 is a novel by Joseph Heller.

I have no idea at all, Nick, on this one.

But I'll say false.

False.

13 is the square root of 169.

I know someone that would know this.

Very quickly. Erm,

true.

True. And finally, the singer Shakira was born in Mexico.

I would say false. I don't think it's Mexico.

I'm not sure what country, but...

-An answer?

-False.

-False.

-Yep.

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

-Was that a good round?

-Possibly, possibly.

All right, 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 Donna's answers.

-Ann, has she achieved perfection?

-I'm pretty certain she's wrong on A.

Nelson fought at Trafalgar, not Waterloo.

David?

Well, I've read Catch-22, Nick, and it's definitely by Joseph Heller,

so that one's wrong as well.

Donna, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many you got.

Just two out of four.

You failed to achieve perfection, which means you've let them into the game.

Usual Suspects, you need to change two of her answers, but which two?

-She's got C and D right, and you two said that A and B were wrong.

-Yeah.

We're going to change the answer on question A

from true to false.

-A changes from true to false.

-And on B from false to true, please.

B changes from false to true.

Leaving C and D

as answered by Donna.

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

Nelson fought at the Battle of Waterloo. True or false?

That is false.

Of course, he did fight at the Battle of Trafalgar, as Ann said.

Catch-22 is a novel by Joseph Heller. True or false?

Yup, it's true as you said, David.

13 is the square root of 169. True or false?

It's true. And you know where this is going now.

The singer Shakira was born in Mexico. True or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

She was born in Colombia, in actual fact.

-Ah, that's the one.

-Let's have a look at the Final Board.

Four subjects on there all chosen by you,

and because you won the last round, you've earned the right

to choose the last two categories to add to the board.

So, which two do you want?

-Conflicts, I think, could be quite...

-Happy with conflicts?

OK, let's go with conflicts for one.

Conflicts goes across.

And we still need one more.

I was thinking perhaps about the Oscars.

Yeah, I'm happy with that one.

-OK, let's put Oscars in there, please, Nick.

-Oscars goes in.

We now know our six final categories.

They are Rugby Union, Lib Dems, The Moon,

Human Body, Conflicts and Oscars.

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

-What do you make of that final board?

-Well, what can I say?

Obviously there's a couple there, of subjects, not too good.

But the others, you know,

it could be just the luck.

They could be quite random, The Moon, Human Body...

Well, good luck, Donna. For £12,000 it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Donna, this is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection,

you could be leaving here with a prize fund of £12,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which is great news for the Usual Suspects,

cos one of them could be playing for £13,000 on the next game.

-You don't want that to happen, do you?

-Definitely not, no.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Donna, here are your six final categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £12,000.

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

your first answer, it'll be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I am, yes.

Let's reveal the first statement.

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

Lewis Moody has played Rugby Union for England.

I can only really have a guess.

Sounds like a name that could be playing rugby, so I'll say true.

True. Lib Dems.

-Nick Clegg's wife is called Justine.

-Gosh. True.

-True.

The Moon. 24 men have walked on the moon.

I would say false to that one.

-False.

-Mm-hmm.

-Human Body.

The Hypothalamus is part of the liver.

I don't know why I know this,

but I definitely don't think it's part of the liver.

I don't know what it's a part of, but I'll say false...

-to that one.

-False. Conflicts.

The American Civil War began in 1761.

I think it was the 17th century. So I'm going to say false to that one.

False. And finally, Oscars.

Johnny Depp won an Oscar for Finding Neverland.

Gosh, I'm thinking Peter Pan, kind of Johnny Depp...

I'll say false to that one, actually.

-False, and with that answer...

-That's it.

..those answers are locked in.

Remember, if there's one single mistake, you leave

with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of?

Um, C, A and F.

C, A and F. So, three.

Well, let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

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

and next to them

are Donna's answers.

Donna, your answers are locked in. You can't change them by yourself.

But if you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock them

with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will, however, come at a cost.

Who would you like to hear from first?

I'd like to hear from Ann, first.

Um, I can see one that you've definitely got wrong.

I'm not sure about

a couple of others,

though I'm not willing to come down. Just not worth it.

Not going to happen with Ann.

No. No. Um...David. What do you think?

I think there's one I'm not sure of. You're not quite there for me,

Donna, I'm afraid.

So, I'm going to stick this one out. Sorry, not me on this occasion.

Still got Joe to hear from. Joe!

What are you thinking?

Well, I know two of the answers up there.

But the other four I don't know about, so I'm sorry,

I won't be coming down.

Best of luck, but I hope the money rolls over.

I bet you do, Joe! Thank you.

LAUGHTER

Fairly honest and straightforward. So, definitely, I want to make clear

there's not one of you will come down,

even with £12,000 on offer, even if you were offered £10,000?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Well, it's tempting.

-So we're not quite over yet.

So, do you want to make an offer to David?

-Yeah.

-How much?

Um, 9 and a half.

9,500 of the 12.

Well, you only live once, let's go for it.

-You coming down?

-I'll come down and help you out.

OK, negotiations have been agreed.

David is going to come down and help for 9,500 of the £12,000 on offer.

David, come down and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Donna, you've asked David for help.

If you achieve perfection

it will cost you 9,500 of your potential prize fund of £12,000.

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

This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

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

Here are the final round statements.

David, which answers

do you want Donna to change?

Actually, I don't want to change any of them.

(AUDIENCE MURMURS)

Wow!

So your game plan has been

to bluff your way down here, not change any of Donna's answers,

but look to take £9,500 of the prize fund.

It's the name of the game.

It is the name of the game. Negotiation's what it's all about.

Donna, remember it is still your decision what to do.

You can change things if you want to change them.

So, do you want to go through them and have a think about them?

Well, number 1, Lewis Moody definitely has played Rugby Union for England, that's true.

I know Nick Clegg's wife's French.

-Pretty sure it is Justine.

-Justine.

-Yeah.

3 is false. 12 men have walked on the moon.

I thought that was too much.

And D, the Hypothalamus is in the brain,

not the liver.

Mm-hmm.

American Civil War was 1861-1865, so that's definitely false.

I was the other way, but...

And we come to our good friend Johnny Depp.

-You happy on that one?

-No.

You know, something occurred to me about him being Peter Pan.

But wasn't sure if that was quite right.

Finding Neverland. You not 100% on that?

Doubt that he might have actually won one for that.

-I'd say stick with it.

-Yep.

There's £12,000 at stake, here. £2,500 for Donna, £9,500 for David.

-Remember, it is still your decision.

-I'm going to keep that board.

-Keeping that board exactly as it is?

-Exactly the same.

-Let's go with what we've got there.

-Let's go for it.

Those answers are now locked in.

Without ANY changes.

David, that was quite a move, wasn't it? You happy with that, Donna?

Yeah, I offered him the money. If someone did the same to me...

We stand together, we fall together.

You can fall on me if it all goes bad.

LAUGHTER

OK. Well, let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

I think we should start with the bottom one,

because that's the one that's worrying you.

We can put you out of your misery on this one.

Johnny Depp won an Oscar for Finding Neverland. You said it was false.

You teetered on the brink of changing it.

Are we about to find out you should have changed it?

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

It is false.

APPLAUSE

Johnny Depp has never won an Oscar.

So, I tell you what, let's fire up the board from there.

The American Civil War began in 1761.

You said it was false, Donna, because you thought it was earlier.

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

It's false.

APPLAUSE

1861. The Hypothalamus is part of the liver.

Donna, you were sure this was false. David, YOU were sure this was false.

If you're right, this will turn red too, and you'll be

halfway to £12,000.

The Hypothalamus is part of the liver. True or false?

APPLAUSE

It's part of the brain, exactly what you said, David.

Well, well, well. Halfway. Three more to go.

24 men have walked on the moon.

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

It's false.

APPLAUSE

It IS 12.

OK.

Which way round? Which one do you want to pick?

You said work your way up, let's go.

Yeah, I think so. You were pretty confident about the rugby.

If you're confident, shall we do that one next?

-That's right for definite.

-OK, let's get it out the way.

Lewis Moody has played rugby union for England.

You said that was true, Donna. David's sure it's true.

This should turn green. Is it true or false?

It's true. You were absolutely right.

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

Five out of six.

Just one answer away from the £12,000.

£9,500 for David, £2,500 for Donna.

What are you going to spend it on, David, if you win this?

I'm definitely taking my long-suffering partner, Diane, on a holiday.

She deserves it for putting up with me for 11 years.

Lovely. Well, the final question. Nick Clegg's wife is called Justine.

Donna, you said you thought that was true.

David came down and said HE thought that was true.

Because you think his wife is French.

You need this to turn green.

For £12,000. Nick Clegg's wife is called Justine.

Is that true or false?

It's false.

She's Spanish. Miriam.

As a result, Donna and David, I'm afraid you didn't manage to achieve perfection.

And it means that you're going home with no money at all.

Usual Suspects. That's fantastic news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for £13,000.

APPLAUSE

Donna, you failed to achieve perfection,

even with the help of David, who played a masterful bluffing game to get down here.

But in the end, you go home with nothing. I hope you've enjoyed playing.

Ladies and gentlemen, Donna and David.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for.

Please join us again next time when our Usual Suspects

have the chance to play again, this time for £13,000.

But remember, on this show, five out of six just isn't good enough.

We only pay for absolute perfection. Goodbye.

APPLAUSE
